All Warriors Are My Disciples

46. A little bit of sincerity

All I remember is Master’s face turning red.

And bang in front of something really! And it exploded.

It happened so quickly that I couldn’t even deal with it properly.

At least, it was all about raising self-defense and barely protecting the body.

Of course, it was because I couldn’t absorb all of the huge shock that was transmitted.

Although the whole world fell into pitch black darkness.

“Did it happen?”

When the light leaks through the darkness again.

Master’s voice was faintly audible from above.

“….”

When I open my eyes, the first thing I notice is Master’s red eyes.

“… It’s embarrassing. I didn’t know you’d faint.”

“Don’t worry. Not too long ago. A few minutes at most.”

“It’s a shame, though. You can’t prepare properly and lose your mind.”

Then I suddenly realized that I wasn’t just lying in bed.

Huh? I looked at Master once again and no matter how I looked at the composition, that was it.

The state of lying down with Master’s knee as a pillow.

“Master?”

“… Isn’t this the main seat’s fault? Let’s cheer each other up and pretend the sparring is over. Since the surprise attack was made suddenly, even if this is the main seat. Even if you have ten mouths, you have nothing to say.”

“Dalian wasn’t officially over. Honey, it’s my fault too….”

I tried to stand up while answering Master’s words like that.

But with a clicking sound, Master presses my forehead with his index finger.

In the end, I couldn’t stand up because of the tremendous power that came out of it.

“I am fine now. It’s okay to wake up….”

“Shut up and be still. Noisy.”

A low, subdued voice.

I know I’ll get scolded if I’m stubborn again at a time like this.

So I had no choice but to quietly lay on Master’s lap pillow.

“Where is Iris?”

“You mean that cheeky guy?”

“He is a cheeky and slightly lacking disciple.”

“I was shocked to see you pass out. He urgently tried to come to you, so he told me to go and get some water.”

“… If it’s water, there must be a canteen I prepared in advance.”

“Kuhm! Greatness! How can you drink that water! You better go get some fresh water!”

No, it’s not like there’s a stream within reach of your nose if you fall face down like in the mountains.

The water bottle here is not an item that is more than 30 years old, like the 21st century Republic of Korea army.

The water was fresh yesterday, so it was good enough.

Even so, the master told Iris to go somewhere and get some water.

Irisna went over there again and really went to draw water.

These women are truly amazing.

“Is the body okay?”

“I’m fine, I’m sleeping and I have nothing to do. In the first place, no problem… 100 Million.”

Suddenly, several stars flicker in front of my eyes.

It hurts so much that I almost shed tears without realizing it.

I looked up at her and saw Master glaring at me with her fists raised.

“I said there is nothing stupider than not taking care of yourself.”

“… Isn’t that what Master said?”

“This bastard. I am much stronger than you guys. It is natural for the strong to worry about the weak, but it is absurd for the weak to worry about the strong. Didn’t you know that too?”

As the saying goes, Master is stronger than me.

Even though I fell into this world with user privileges.

Though they say they know very much about this Heavenly Demon NPC right in front of them.

Even so, I couldn’t stand shoulder to shoulder with this absolute powerhouse.

However, it is impossible for neither Master nor I to deal with the fragments of the Demon God.

This game, this world didn’t allow that much.

For Master, who is an outsider according to the game setting, and for me, who is a real outsider.

“But Master. Even though I am weak, it is natural for a disciple to worry about the teacher.”

“This, this guy until the end….”

“Am I wrong?”

“… It wasn’t wrong.”

“So, it would be better to make it a tie this time.”

After that, silence came out and hovered around Master.

Iris, who thought she would arrive right away, is still missing.

She wondered if something might happen, but Master told her not to worry.

He added that it’s okay to be relieved since he’s already covered the whole area.

At those words, I secretly looked at Master’s face.

Although Iris was a little angry with her insistence on the ring.

Unlike before, he doesn’t show any more wariness towards Iris than necessary.

“Master.”

“Tell me.”

“How far have you heard?”

“….”

“I said you were following me. If not, you must have overheard the conversation between me and Iris.”

I didn’t expect Master to follow me.

Thanks to that, I didn’t pay much attention to the conversation with Iris.

And if it were my master, he could have overheard the conversation.

“… I didn’t hear all of them. And, there were things you wouldn’t know even if you heard it.”

Anyway, you overheard the conversation.

I’d rather it went well, even if I didn’t have to tell my disciples.

It would be better to tell Master, who knows that it is vaguely strange.

Of course, I’m not talking about everything, but according to the ‘reasonable line’.

“Iris is a being similar to me and Master.”

“Is it similar to Bonjwa or you? Does that mean you are not from this world?”

The existence of this world is correct.

It’s just that the time zone he was originally in wasn’t now.

“Yes. It was about him that I was talking to Iris earlier.”

“… I thought so. That heterogeneous energy, even the things that can’t be explained. Was that what it was?”

“The energy of the shooter that Master talked about seemed to be related to that. He must have come here after a great tragedy.”

Iris is a regressor. He is a person from a future timeline.

I am very familiar with the concept of regression.

But on the other hand, Master may not understand the concept of regression.

Above all, Iris never uttered the word ‘return’.

I didn’t open my mouth even when I noticed that I already knew everything.

That means that there are certain circumstances. If that’s the case, it’s better for me to remain silent.

For those reasons, I decided not to release the regression part.

“Anyway, all the disciples around you are strange guys.”

It was something that could not be denied at all.

So all I could do was smile awkwardly.

“Hey, Master. I guess I can get up soon….”

I’m trying to get myself up again.

It’s a bit like showing it off to Iris, and being so close to Master is a bit off.

The head says it shouldn’t be like this, but doesn’t this guy’s instinct work differently?

If you make a mistake, you don’t know what kind of evil order will fall.

But this time, Master’s index finger pressed firmly against my forehead.

I finally gave in to the meaning of lying down and not doing anything stupid.

“My disciple.”

“Yes, Master.”

“I’ve never had this happen before.”

“What do you mean?”

“The time when I dared to lie down on the principal’s knee as a pillow.”

Ah, back then. Come to think of it, there was a time like that.

One time, Master provoked me too much, and scratched the inside of me saying that I was weak.

When I asked him what he would do if his collar brushed against me, he said he would do whatever he wanted.

So I came out with a way to get it right once.

The Heavenly Demon is said to be an existence that no one can surpass when it comes to combat.

Because I know that when it comes to relationships between men and women, I’m just at the level of a country child.

I asked for a lap pillow if I brushed my collar.

The result? Of course I did it.

After gritting his teeth and throwing himself, he ended up cutting off his collar even though four of his ribs came out.

As a result, Master had to put a lap pillow on me without moving.

“At that time, Master’s face looked like a ripe persimmon.”

“This guy. You dare to make fun of your master?”

“I’m kidding. I am simply stating the facts.”

“Your kid has grown up a lot. Where would you like another shot?”

Oops. I really don’t want to be beaten by Master’s honey night.

I immediately covered my head, and soon I heard Master’s laughter.

“How did such a coward become my immediate former disciple?”

“The hearts of the disciples listening are all broken.”

“It’s narrow to the inside. The in-house manager is cowardly and slow. Oh ho Tongjae.”

Originally, Master was never this bright.

When I first met, there was no more somber and melancholy person.

I was at a loss because I was well aware of the Heavenly Demon NPC.

If it wasn’t for that, let alone the disciples, they would have been eating ancestral rice in heaven.

“… Hyuna.”

A master who calls by a name other than a disciple.

This is probably the really important part.

Because I know that well, I also erased all playfulness.

“Yes, Master.”

“… This question… I know very well that it’s not good. Nonetheless, I want to ask. No… I have to ask. And I will have to listen to the answer.”

“Good luck to Xiamen.”

“A while ago… That’s what I said to the principal. Important… The word existence.”

As expected, those words seemed to be the cause.

The Heavenly Demon is not enough to say that it is a wormwood in a relationship between a man and a woman.

I said that I was an important person to such a master.

If it didn’t explode, it would have been even weirder.

The reason why I said it was an important existence.

I simply tried to embarrass Master and stop further sparring.

In addition, even if it is not the fragment of the Demon God, he is a person who can sufficiently subdue the people below him.

There was definitely a part where I said that I was a truly important existence.

Also, I know that priests and priests shouldn’t have such feelings in the first place.

Nevertheless, it’s because of the love that I can’t help but have at least a small part of.

“… Literally. Master. Master is very important to me. That’s why he said he didn’t want to expose it to his enemies already.”

“How stupid that is. There are times when he has to hide power, and there are times when he shouldn’t. From my point of view, the one you have to face is the latter, not the former.”

“That’s why I’m leaving Master behind all the more.”

“Show me why you say that.”

“To catch the enemy off guard.”

“Careless?”

“Yes. So it exposed me. As if I am the last bastion. To believe so.”

“… I will not reveal all my power, did you mean that?”

“Exactly.”

It was also Master’s teaching not to reveal one’s strength.

I intended to use that part appropriately as an excuse.

Actually, neither I nor Master can fight the fragments of demons.

So I was openly stepping forward, and Master said that he was looking for an opportunity from behind.

“It was also the teaching of the principal.”

“If it is not an irresistible enemy, do not show more than 80% of your strength. He said.”

“… Okay. I get it. I can’t stop you from following the teacher’s teachings. If not….”

“And that, Master. I really don’t want to see Master get hurt.”

“Is this guy playing a prank to embarrass me again?”

“No.”

My disciples are very precious to me.

However, what should I say about those feelings, should I say that they are like younger siblings with a difference in age?

I couldn’t help but feel that way because they were all guys I raised.

Master is a bit different from his disciples.

Although they are NPCs in the game, they have similar situations.

Because we spent more time together than any other student.

I couldn’t help but have different feelings from how I dealt with my students.

“I am serious, Master.”

Of course, that doesn’t mean he has a crush on the opposite s*x.

Because it contains admiration and respect, I hurriedly added the following words.

“A little bit.”
