Chapter 27: Master Disciple Contract

This also interrupted his thought process even as he returned home. Now that he had to make a decision seeing what had transpired. But he is now certain of one thing though.

"I can't grow fast with my way, I need help, support, and guidance."

Having made up his mind he took a look at the card given to him I'll be going there. And achieve my dreams.

After making up his mind Jayven then made an impromptu decision and asked his AI assistant about many things like the legality of sponsorship and master and disciple agreement.

'Right before the master disciple agreements, it seems to only contain verbal agreement. But now it's different one must pay a great deal of consequence when having a master and disciple relationship.'

A law had been built to protect both parties although it seems that it isn't needed it actually could help both parties be at ease with each other.

But since it would usually be a child and adult form of contract a third party or guardian of the child is needed for the agreement.

And since Jayven is considered an adult, he doesn't need consent from a guardian but he must be careful because not all good things came so easily.

Jayven got ready by preparing and reading for a whole week and now he was finally going to meet them.

--------- Hunter's Association ----------

So, he arrived at the Hunter's Association.

Walking to the receptionist he handed the card that was given to him and spoke.

"Hello, I was said to hand this over when I arrive here."

"Let me see. checking up the card she then understood."

"Oh, this is a contact card this will help us contact certain individuals recorded here. And since you have given me a blank one then the person you are going to be in contact with will see you in private."

"So that means no one will know who I am meeting and the place will be private for the both of us?"

"Yes, this usually happens between two parties wanting to sell private items or exchange information."

"I see."

"Also, if you are going to meet the other party, please have this."

The receptionist then gave him a small button.

"What's this?"

"It has the number of the room and also doubles as a warning signal. The reason for that is that sometimes the deal doesn't go well. So, pressing this could save your life so please don't lose it. And also return it after the meeting."

"Thank you." With an awkward smile, Jayven accepted the button and left.

'Well, it is true there are times when safety can be jeopardized due to unknown reasons. So having this will definitely save my life if needed.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well, then you have made up your decision?"

"Yes."

Right now, Jayven is meeting the person he met before.

"Good first have this." He then gave Jayven a piece of paper. "You do know about the Disciple contract, right?"

"Of course. "

"Then read it first before you make your final decision."

"Okay." Jayven started to read the contract and was surprised.

"Are you sure about this contract? I don't see any way you will gain anything from supporting me."

"That's how master and disciple should be from the beginning. It only led to this due to many complications. I only need you to take my position once the time comes."

"Really? Don't get me wrong. It's good but it's just too good to be true."

"Well, you are right it isn't all good."

Hearing that Jayven became even more attentive as he listens to his words carefully.

"I will give some trials and it is up to you if you want to take it. and depending on the results I will reward or give some penalty. So be careful when accepting any type of trial from me kid."

Jayven then finally understood he will still need to work hard to receive the benefits.

'Well, having his backing is what I really need but it isn't that bad to receive some if I can. Well as long as I can pass those trials that is.'

"So, are you going to sign it?"

Without answering him Jayven signed the paper. Then stood up and followed with a bow.

"It is my pleasure to meet you, master."

"Good. I will send you the training schedule I planned for you. So, get back to your home and prepare."

"Okay, master."

"The name Klein by the way."

"Yes, Master Klein."

With that Jayven left the place and started to plan his preparations.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Are you done with the Contract?"

"Yeah, he greeted me as his master just now."

"Well congratulations, I guess?"

"But somehow although he was surprised by the contract, he was quite direct with his decision. Not like before when I accepted to be my Master's disciple."

"Wait you gave the same contract as the boss gave you before?"

"Yeah, is there a problem?"

"Nothing it's just master gave you that type of contract because of your personality. Seeing as the kid is not like you the result may be different."

"Oh, that's bad." Knowing his mistakes, Klein was shocked for a moment, then he just let it.

"Anyway, let's leave it as that, there is still a lot we have to do right now."

"Okay."

But as the two were about to leave someone called out to them.

"WAAAIIIITTTTT Siiiiirrrr!!!!"

"Hmm?"

"Oh, that's the manager of this association branch."

"I see." Upon hearing that he turned to look at the association branch manager.

"Hello, Mister Manager."

"No need to be polite sir. Though it is shameless of me I would like to ask something of you."

"Oh, sure what is it?"

"Leia, introduce yourself."

'Hello, Sir my name is Leia Von Grail. And would please take me as your disciple?"

Hearing that the place turned a bit quiet but it was only for a moment. As he then said.

"From your name, I guess you people are connected to the Ark family if not the church."

"Y-yes, we are sir. Is there something wrong?"

"Well, a bit. only a bit."

"So, I can't be your disciple?"

"Yes, for two reasons."

"What is it?"

"First, I don't have many favorable views of the church, especially the Ark family. Well even with that I can still take you as my disciple as long as I find you worth it."

"Then let me prove to you my worth."

"Wait, wait, I am not done yet. The second and most important one is that I already have a disciple taking a new one after already accepting one is not my style. Wait until I feel like it is okay to have a new one."

"....Yes, sir."

"Good, we will be leaving then. Also, don't look onto my disciple, I'm serious."

"With that, they were gone."

"Huh? Wait we can talk-"

As he was about to try and continue to convince him the manager of the association was too late as he was already gone.

"Dad, we don't need to be this desperate."

"You don't understand."

'Is he really that a big deal?"

"Yes, and you too will be surprised by what I am about to say and listen carefully."

As he was about to say the identity of Jayven's master, he looks around to see if there wasn't anyone listening.

After confirming there wasn't anyone listening, he told who he was in a whisper to his daughter.

And upon hearing about his identity, she was surprised and her eyes were tinged with regret.

"To think that I missed such an important opportunity."

"Don't worry maybe we can get a new chance if we try."

"How?"

"The National exam. From what I know they will be staying on high alert in this continent and he will definitely watch it. If his disciple is really here."

"Don't tell me you want me to defeat his disciple to become his disciple?"

"Yes."

"But he said not to look unto his disciple."

"Yes, that is why you should be the top scorer making him regret his decision. So even if we don't know who his disciple is we can show him that you are better than his disciple."

"I see, okay Dad I'll work hard for this exam."

"Good my daughter, do your best."

"Yes Father, for now, I want to train in the Virtual World. See you."

After leaving she then entered her pod. Unlike VR devices, it has a lot of advantages.

First being comfortable with the body, the realism is amazing that it can help improve their mana mastery.

Second is that it can affect the growth of the body as long as there as special solutions used. With.

The third it's safety usage when a person is in even those who have the mana manifestation ability cannot destroy the damn thing not even a scratch.

After fighting a few opponents, she started to get bored.

"That wasn't enough, let's who should I fight next... Oh, this guy is a hot topic right now he should do it."

Then the name she had chosen had the word unyielding. With that, the battle started.
