Chapter 75 - 71: Request?

"Hmm, I see, so it's like that." Said Kyzdall as he stroked his chin deep in thought. Turning his head back towards the cabin door where Ondan was sitting cross-legged, he then asked.

"You hear that Ondan? Apparently, their Gods hate each other's guts." He said with a light chuckle.

Nodding in confirmation, Ondan replied. "En, that explains why we had easy sneaking inside their universe without them even noticing anything."

"I guess that means we can continue to remain here into the Lord recovers." Added Kyzdall, to which Ondan agreed to with a nod.

The two siblings on the other hand sat there with both of their eyes shining as they looked at the two deities chat casually.

Josse was the one to speak again as she gathered her courage. "Umm, esteemed God of War?" She sheepishly asked.

Turning his attention back to the girl, Kyzdall asked in curiosity. "Hmm? What is it little one?"

"C-could you teach me?!" Stuttering, she asked as her heart once again started beating wildly in her chest. Josse had heard stories of knights rescuing princesses, of heroes fighting off monsters, but they were all lacking when it came to a real God! A God of War! How far would she go if she had one to guide her? Heroes? Knights? No! If she had a God of War to teach her, she could even reach the Gods of this world themselves!

Looking at the bright expression the girl was making, made Kyzdall feel impressed. "Hoh?" This was the first time someone had ever dared ask him something like this.

"So, you would like to become my apprentice little one?" He asked with a sly grin on his face.

Standing up from her seat, Josse dropped down to kowtow as she asked once more. "Please take me as your disciple!" Her little brother watched in shock and confusion, he knew his older sister had always been the impulsive one, but to ask a God to be his disciple?!

Not waiting for Kyzdall to reply, Roland to dropped to the ground as well as he kowtowed and asked. "P-Please accept my older sister as your disciple, esteemed one!"

"Hmmm." Looking at the two children prostrating themselves before him, Kyzdall turned back to look at Ondan who just shrugged his shoulder as if he was not interested in whatever was happening.

Returning his attention to the kids, he solemnly asked. "What makes you think you are qualified?"

"Eh?" Not really understanding, Josse was unable to give a clear reply to Kyzdall's question.

"I said, what makes you think you are qualified for me to take you as my direct disciple?" He asked again, his voice dead serious.

"I-"

Not allowing her to continue, Kyzdall spoke once more. Do you have any idea how many Gods and Immortals would jump at the chance to become my personal disciple? Why should I pick you?"

"Umm, p-please pick my sister!" Anxiously asked the little Roland once more, he wanted to help his older sister no matter what.

Kyzdall's sharp gaze suddenly turned around to look at the little boy's eyes, causing him to gasp as he hurriedly brought his gaze down avoiding the God of War.

"I asked your sister boy! I did not speak to you!" Loudly replied Kyzdall in a serious tone as a suffocating silence befall the group.

Seeing her brother under pressure brought Jesse out of her daze as she quickly moved to stand in front of him, shielding her little sibling away from the God of War's serious gaze.

"Please excuse my foolish little brother, esteemed one." She bowed down even deeper.

"If he had offended you in any matter, do please take it out on me he is still young." She added as the gravity of the situation came crashing in on her. This was a real God capable of destroying their entire world! She did not know what sort of temper Gods had, but she was not ready to test it, for that it was better to apologize first.

He may have humored her request, but he could as easily change his mind and crush them with a single flick of his wrist, this Jesse did not doubt. The only thing that occupied her mind, however, was the safety of her little brother, if anything were to happen to him, she would never be able to forgive herself it was her that brought him here.

"Hmm." Rise little one, ordered Kyzdall as he looked at the brave teenage girl facing him, his curiosity growing ever so strong the more he looked at her.

Hearing his order, Jesse complied as she stood up and looked back at him with a determined gaze.

"Haha, you really are an interesting one. You do not seem to be afraid for your own safety but for that of your little brother." He said as he observed the duo in front of him.

"I do not care what happens to me esteemed one, as long as my brother is not hurt!" She added with resolution.

Before Roland could object, Kyzdall replied. "Oh? Are you sure about that?" He asked, his eyes carrying a dangerous glint inside them that caused Jesse to suddenly have a bad feeling.

"Y-yes!"

Hearing her reply, Kyzdall suddenly teleported in front of the girl shocking her silly, not giving her enough time to react he brought down his finger and gently touched her forehead. Jesse's eyes suddenly dimmed as she turned limp and dropped to the ground.

"Josse!!" Seeing his sister fall unconscious, Roland anxiously jumped to her side as his eyes welled up with tears.

"Josse! Josse! What's wrong?! Please answer me!" He screamed but no response, turning his head back to Kyzdall, his eyes bloodshot as he asked.

"What did you do to my sister?!"

Kyzdall's face was devoid of any type of emotion as he coldly replied. "Do not look at me with those eyes boy, your sister wanted to be my disciple, this is nothing but a test to see if she has such potential."

"What will happen if she fails?" Anxiously asked Roland, his eyes darting between the limp body of his older sister and Kyzdall.

"That will mean she is not worthy, and then die." Coldly replied Kyzdall as he turned back to his seat, his eyes emotionlessly watching the unconscious girl, deep inside his cold gaze however was something else, a hint of excitement and expectation.

"Hmph." Shaking his head, Ondan returned back to the wooden cabin, as refrained from saying anything.
