" I didn't expect anyone to call my nickname out like that, but, yes, I am the blue king of death "
Ezra replied as he looked down at the boy, he was gigantic, enormous, and terrifying, that's what everyone besides Fu, Ana, and Shu was thinking, after all, with one glance, who wouldn't think like that?
The man was 10 feet tall, had giant muscles, and fearsome eyes, everything about the man screamed terrifying
" Sir it is an honor to meet you, you've been my hero ever since I started hearing stories about you at the age of 9, and from the stories I've heard, you don't disappoint whatsoever, so please, I beg of you, take me in as your pupil! "
Ean yelled as he quickly bowed down, making the man raise an eyebrow in confusion
" Ean, the point of this meeting was to get him to train you, seeing as you specialize in swords I thought that his guidance would prove to be better than mine, so there's no need for you to beg him "
Fu explained as he patted the boy's back, proceeding to smile a few seconds later
" Um, mister blue king of death?.. "
Ean questioned, as he looked up at the man, a bit embarrassed about what he was about to say
" Just call me Ezra "
He replied as he tilted his head, waiting for the boy to continue
" Can I have that sword back?.. "
Ean questioned, pointing at the weapon, which to Ean seemed bigger than it was when Shu handed it over to him
" You mean the reaper? "
Ezra questioned as he held up the sword looking at it up and down, before turning his gaze toward the boy who began to sweat nervously
" N-never mind, that's your weapon so uh I'll- "
Ean said, trying to take his words but he was interrupted by the man who held out the weapon
" Take it, I don't use swords anymore, besides, it looks I can't use the sword anymore, it even took some of my energy the moment I held it, so take it back "
Ezra explained, making the boy smile as he slowly placed his hands on the weapon, grabbing the handle with his right and the blade with his left, but the moment he did his entire body began to glow, before exploding into a pillar of blue energy, blinding everyone but the adults who simply stared at the pillar of energy
" Looks like you handed the boy an upgrade, Ezra "
Fu said as he placed his hands on his hips, smiling as he finished what was left of the bread in his mouth
" Well anyway, I just finished my bread so I'm I'm gonna eat a bit of your beans "
Fu added before turning around, walking over to the bowl of beans, sitting down in front of it, grabbing the huge spoon, beginning to eat from it
" Looks like the sword gave you my energy "
Ezra said, looking down at the hand he held the sword with, blinking a few times before looking back at the pillar, which began to fade away, allowing the kids to open their eyes
" Did my swords develop egos? "
Ezra thought to himself, frowning for a few seconds before sighing, proceeding to scratch the back of his head
" Why do I feel.... "
Ean whispered as he looked down at his hands, raising the now smaller blade into the air, staring at before squinting his eyes
" Good? "
Ean finished as he turned to look at the boys and then at Ezra
" Well! Ean just became our strongest student! "
Fu yelled, his mouth filled with uneaten beans
" Hey what do you mean strongest? "
Shu questioned as Ean simply sheathed his sword away turning to look at the boy who now seemed annoyed
" It's as he says, Ean, you're now stronger than the two boys behind you "
Ezra pointed out as he then placed his hands on his hips, looking around for a few seconds before locking eyes with Fu
" Get out now, I'm going to train the boy. And stop eating my beans "
Ezra ordered as Fu simply stared at him with a serious look, looking down at the bowl after a few seconds of glaring at the man, before grabbing the bowl with his two hands raising it up in the air, letting the beans fall in his mouth, swallowing every last drop
" I'm sorry, I already finished it "
Fu replied before bowing his head, his face expression as serious as it was before
" You ate it all right after I told you to stop eating it!! "
Ezra yelled, disappearing in a blur of speed leaving behind nothing but a burst of wind before appearing right next to Fu, punching him right on top of his head, sinking his entire face inside of the white floor
" Now everyone but Ean, leave! "
Ezra yelled, making everyone stare at him in confusion before turning around and leaving the room the moment they saw his glare, and of course, Fu followed them right afterward
" Now that we're alone "
Ezra whispered, turning to look at Ean who seemed somewhat nervous
" Come at me and show me your determination "
Ezra finished, to then coat his right hand in a blue Sanctuary Energy, forming a blade with the energy, almost as if insinuating that he was going to fight with his bare hands, which of course, he was.
Ean didn't hesitate and unsheathed his blade, as quickly as he could and the moment he did, he dashed toward the man, his entire body now covered in a blue aura, as if to shield himself from the man's transparent and deadly-looking blue blade.
" Let's let those two train! "
Fu yelled with a smile on his face as he slowly rubbed his stomach, as if saying he was filled, but then right after pulled out bread from his pockets and placed it in his mouth
" Where does he even get that bread? And why does he eat so god damm much? "
Ayami questioned, but was ignored by everyone as they followed right behind Fu who began to walk
