Disciple of Immortal

「《Double》… Is it?」

Sure enough, that sounds like a really amazing 《Gift Skill》.

If he really could double his offensive ability, it means that he could land devastating damage against the higher-level opponent.

Though I had no idea about the time lag that happened when discussing his status, depending on how he used it, it was a skill for giant-killing.

It had partially destroyed the concept of level.

It was a bizarre 《Gift Skill》 comparable with Kotone's 《Ares Hand》.

「It seems you bring in quite a troublesome one, Yorna.」

Mitsuru lowered the 【500】  point dragon head rock.

Yorna must be the name of the black winged, dragonfolk girl on Mtsuru's side.

Though many dragonfolks focused on the humans they brought in, most of them couldn't help but marvel upon seeing Mitsuru's herculean strength.

Raigan was also glaring at Mitsuru.

「Could it be that brat… is on the same level as Dragon Saint? There's such a monster hiding among the humans huh.」

At that moment, Odio, one of the dragon saint who lifted the 【300】 point dragon head rock placed the dragon head rock he held on his hand back to the ground, and walked to Mitsuru's side.

「Humph… Mitsuru-dono… Are you interested in becoming my disciple? I hear that there are many mysterious evil plans or large-scale monster calamities happening in the human realm as of late. We from dragonfolk's faction has a law that prevents us from getting ourselves directly involved with the human realm's affair. But, that doesn't apply to the one who came to this peach dragon village for training.」

「O-Odio-sama is taking a disciple!? Even though he kept refusing no matter how much I begged him!」

Raigan shouted with an excited face.

「I refuse. Is there any proof that you're stronger than me, lizard Oldman? Sorry, but I have no intention of saving the world.」

Said Mitsuru as he brought his face closer to Odio and stuck out his tongue.

「How dare you do that to Odio-sama!」

「Do you know how much it means to be taken as the disciple of a dragon saint!?」

Even the other dragonfolk who started to get a better opinion of Mitsuru got enraged and started swearing at him in their rage.

「That's right! Don't get cocky, you shi*tty brat!」

Naturally, Raigan was among those people.

His words and deed… Was definitely that of a mob.

「Kukuku, training a lively youth is a good thing. For your information, there's a lot of secret skill passed down in this peach dragon village that you can't find in the human realm. Not to mention that I also traveled in the human realm around a few hundred years ago. Both my skills and knowledge are above yours.」

Said Odio kindly without any impure motive, he didn't seem to care about Mitsuru's rude remark toward him.

He just smiled like a kind grandpa while touching his long, white beard.

Having realized that he really was no match for Odio in terms of knowledge or skill, Mitsuru could only smack his lips.

「Tch! I've had enough trouble at hand already. I prefer raising my level rather than focusing on small tricks. Sorry, but I've no intention of learning from someone weaker than me…」

「But then, the ability of the current you is still far from me.」

Said Odio while squinting his gaze, smiling as he sent such provocation to Mitsuru.

「Are you looking down on me?」

「I'm just telling the truth. The other two trials won't be as simple as this. Your mastery of your unique ability… Is too low, you can't even show its' full potential. The total points you get from the trial will be far lower than mine.」

「You've said it now, old man… Remember your words just now. You're going to regret it later.」

「Hou? Quite confident one eh? Then you've to become my disciple if your total point is lower than mine.」

Said Odio to Mitsuru with a daring smile on his face.

「What an obstinate old man. Sure, I'll become your disciple if I lose. But, you have to prostate and apologize to me if you lost. Let's go, Yorna!」

Mitsuru turned around to leave the place after he made a bet with Odio.

Yorna was following after him in a hurry.

「How youthful…」

Muttered Odio while looking at Mitsuru's face with a satisfied face.

It seems he was already convinced that Mitsuru would become his disciple.

His face looks like that of a shrewd grandpa.

Raigan the golden dragon aside, Odio the dragon saint seems to be quite composed.

Honestly, I couldn't fathom his true ability.

The same goes for Mitsuru's 《Double》.

Yup, there was still hidden expert hidden in this world which I had no idea about.

「Let's take the trial too. Just to be safe, let's start with 【300】 one…」

The moment I spoke to Pomera, another cheer broke in that place.

Someone lift the 【500】 point's dragon head rock that Mitsuru placed on the ground a while ago.

「Lighter than I thought.」

And the culprit was Philia.

It seems her curiosity got piqued while I let go of my eyes from her.

It seems Philia could easily lift the rock ease with her base strength.

「W-Who in the hell is that brat!?」

「Monster!」

「And it doesn't seem to be that heavy for her!」

Seeing the dragonfolks praising her nonstop, Phila lifted the rock with one hand while placing the other hand on her hips with a proud look on her face.

Another cheer broke from the audience.

Raigan was flabbergasted, his eyes seemed like they were about to pop out from its sockets as he saw the dragon head rock on Philia's hand.

… I thought the trial would be much harder but, I guess both Philia and I could easily become dragon saint.

When Philia placed the rock back on the ground, the cheers rose up for the third time.

She placed her hands on her hips, puffing her chest proudly.

Seeing that, Odio ran up to her with bloodshot eyes, sliding on the ground and then prostrating right in front of Philia.

「Eh? W-What's the matter, uncle?」

「Your Honored One's name! Please tell me your name, O Honored One!」

「P-Philia…」

「PHILIA-SAMA! PLEASE TAKE THIS WEAK AND PITIFUL OLD MAN AS YOUR DISCIPLE!」

Philia was dumbfounded for a moment but, she regained her smile immediately and then stretched her hand to Odio.

「Understood! You'll be Philia's disciple!」

「THANK YOU! PHILIA-SAMAAAA!」

Pomera was looking at me with a strained smile on her face.

「What shall we do about that person, Kanata-san?」

「… I'll go to apologize to him.」

Suddenly, I caught the figure of Mitsuru standing dumbfoundedly while looking at this strange turn of events.

He rubs his eyes so many times as if he can't believe what he just saw.
