With Great Curse, Comes Great Sacrifice

A burly man with a portly belly that pressed outwards against the dirty apron he wore emerged from behind the young man.

From his appearance, one didn't even need to guess to know why the last part of his nickname, 'Gruff' was relevant.

A rough grey beard with hints of ash and soot along with darkened skin with wrinkly textures could be seen on his face while his eyes brimmed with a light blue shade.

At this moment, there seemed to be fury building up within him as he looked at his apprentice from a height of almost two meters, the young man shrinking back and moving to the side.

What could be the possible reason for such hostility from his teacher?

Had he come to denounce Skullius himself?

The Discount Human was perplexed, not by the bulky man's stature, but by the fact that this man, had a blue core!
