Chapter 47: The Trial and Brotherhood of Three Deities

"Snow Sky-Dog, our master is calling you to his office for a discussion!" Kurogami Masayuki reminded Snow Sky-Dog in a calm tone. He knew well the reason why their master called Snow Sky-Dog to his office for a talk. If it wasn't because the three of them had defeated Ryujin Tetsu a few days ago, what else could it be?

"Snow Sky-Dog, Kurogami Masayuki, how does this umbrella work?" Mizuchi Haruka asked, holding a magical item named "The Umbrella of Life and Death" in her hand.

"Be careful, Mizuchi Haruka! That umbrella is very dangerous! If you're not careful, it will suck the souls of all three of us!" Snow Sky-Dog exclaimed in horror when he saw Mizuchi Haruka trying to use "The Umbrella of Life and Death." What Snow Sky-Dog said was true! "The Umbrella of Life and Death" is an extremely destructive magical item! If not handled carefully, it can even steal the soul of the user.

"I was just trying it out for a moment! I'll put it down right now! I won't touch it anymore, are you satisfied, Snow Sky-Dog?" Mizuchi Haruka said indignantly. She had only held the umbrella for a very short time, she hadn't done anything mischievous with it! Why did Snow Sky-Dog, her lover, overreact like that? If so, she would use a bit of feminine soft power. She would be upset with Snow Sky-Dog for his overreaction.

"Are you mad at me, Mizuchi Haruka?"

"I dare not be angry with you, Snow Sky-Dog, the highest-achieving deity in this academy, the handsome deity who specializes in seducing beautiful women across all three worlds!" Mizuchi Haruka sarcastically commented on Snow Sky-Dog's flirtatious nature.

"Both of you stop it! Come with me to the headmaster's office to meet our master!" Kurogami Masayuki said, his voice tinged with annoyance mixed with anger.

"What? Why did you say earlier that our master only wanted to see me?"

"I was just joking, did you think that? In seizing "The Umbrella of Life and Death" from the wretch "Steel Dragon" Ryujin Tetsu, both I and Mizuchi Haruka contributed, you want to take all the credit for yourself and "kick" us out, is that right, Snow Sky-Dog?" Kurogami Masayuki spoke to Snow Sky-Dog with a tone showing hostility. Perhaps he had undergone a psychological state where jealousy and anger tortured his mind. Before their master assigned them the task of collecting these 8 lost magical items, he was the top-performing deity in the academy, but during the past two important missions, Snow Sky-Dog had achieved the highest accomplishments. The reason was that both lost magical items, the "Four Soul Gems" and "The Umbrella of Life and Death," were obtained by Snow Sky-Dog from their enemies. Perhaps that was also the reason why Kurogami Masayuki felt dissatisfied with Snow Sky-Dog. Perhaps he felt inferior in the presence of Snow Sky-Dog. Nevertheless, he still regarded Snow Sky-Dog as his younger brother. He still remembered his promise to their master to care, nurture, and protect Snow Sky-Dog and Mizuchi Haruka, as an older brother would treat his younger brother and sister with the most tolerant, forgiving, and loving heart.

"Oh, no! Not at all, big brother! I didn't mean that! You're right, this victory belongs to all three of our young deities, not just me. I won't monopolize all the praise and rewards from our master for all three of us, you can rest assured, big brother!" Snow Sky-Dog spoke with a tone showing his sincerity as he looked straight into the beautiful sea-blue eyes of Kurogami Masayuki without appearing fake or fearful.

"The praise and recognition as well as our position after we complete this mission will be "shared" by our master among all three of us, but there's only one reward, and I want you to give that reward to me! How do you feel about that, Snow Sky-Dog?" Kurogami Masayuki dared to muster all his courage to make his proposal. Kurogami Masayuki thought that Snow Sky-Dog would firmly refuse to give up Snow Sky-Dog's reward to him.

"All right, big brother, I agree! You've helped me and Mizuchi Haruka a lot. All three of us are close, so I won't let greed destroy your genuine affection for me, big brother! I agree to give you that reward, big brother."

"Are you telling the truth, Snow Sky-Dog?" Kurogami Masayuki couldn't help but be surprised at this truth when it came to him. He thought Snow Sky-Dog would reject his offer. He thought there might be a conflict with Snow Sky-Dog, but he was mistaken. It wasn't as bad as he thought! Perhaps Snow Sky-Dog was very selfish in loving many beautiful girls at the same time, but in reality, he was still a generous and magnanimous deity to his siblings. He had only been born recently, after the magical item "The Eternal Hammer" combined with the wolf-shaped stone on the majestic snow-capped mountain and solitude. Kurogami Masayuki was his only older brother, so this reward was not as valuable as the brotherly affection Kurogami Masayuki had for him.

"I'm telling the truth, big brother! You can rest assured, I'll give you that reward! No one is taking that reward from you, big brother! Just prepare to receive our master's reward, big brother!"

"Thank you, handsome Snow Sky-Dog! I thank you with all my sincerity!" Kurogami Masayuki was so happy that tears fell from his eyes, he would receive the reward from their master because of Snow Sky-Dog's generosity, his younger brother.

"So what reward do you want from our master, big brother, Kurogami Masayuki?"

"I want to pass the rigorous test in the "challenge room" as you did, Snow Sky-Dog! Because I don't possess the most specific magical power, I desire to obtain an exceedingly powerful specific magical ability!"

After hearing these words from Kurogami Masayuki, Snow Sky-Dog fell silent for a few minutes. Then he said:

"So you prepare your thoughts and mindset to fight your strongest opponent, big brother, Kurogami Masayuki! If you step into that room, you might lose your life, big brother!"

"I'm not afraid of that! I am determined not to lag behind you in effort, determination, and courage, you can rest assured, that I will overcome the challenge in that room. I don't need to know what I have to face, but I will win!"

"Well, that's great! Keep it up, big brother, Kurogami Masayuki, God of Light!"

All three deities entered the headmaster's office, where their mentor awaited. He, a solemn and authoritative figure, scrutinized the three young deities before him.

"Welcome, all of you," their mentor spoke with solemnity. "We need to discuss some important matters."

Snow Sky-Dog, Kurogami Masayuki, and Mizuchi Haruka exchanged glances, all sensing the tension in the air. They knew this conversation would impact their lives and future development.

But as they stood waiting, a peculiar sensation filled the room. There was a premonition of something grand and significant awaiting them, a challenge or a new opportunity, looming closer.

In that moment, the three young deities felt the power of camaraderie and patience, ready to confront any challenge the future might hold. This marked a new beginning, a fresh adventure about to unfold, and they were prepared to forge ahead, facing every obstacle on their path.

In the dim light of the headmaster's office, they felt themselves stepping into a promising future, where every wonder and discovery was possible. And so, the story continues...
