"Please accept me as your disciple."

Even Theo couldn't contain his shock because this was the first time someone asked him to be his disciple. And that someone was actually Rea, the daughter of the Sword Saint.

"What did you say?" Theo frowned, thinking he had misheard her. After all, her status didn't allow her to be someone's student. Even if she became one, the teacher would be her father.

Yet, Rea actually asked him to be her teacher. Rea was also a lot older compared to him. This would mess up the seniority between them.

"I beg you to accept me as your disciple."

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

Before Theo could react, the monsters had returned, which annoyed Theo. The latter clicked his tongue and slashed his sword, cutting down all the monsters.

When the area turned silent again, Theo looked at Rea and said, "I don't think I'm qualified to be someone's teacher. I can be a mentor or something, teaching you here and there. But I'm not someone who is responsible enough to be a teacher."

"You might think that way, but in my eyes, you're the best teacher I can ever have."

"My talent is about learning, so I know how to make you learn something. You are mistaken about something!"

"No, I don't. I know it's presumptuous for me to ask you to be my teacher, but this is a conclusion I've reached in my head and heart. I'd like to ask you to accept me as your disciple."

"There are many problems to begin with. First of all, you are the Sword Saint's daughter. Do you know what it means for the Sword Saint's daughter to be someone else's disciple… The Sword Saint is a far better teacher compared to me since his ability is related to yours."

Rea shook her head and explained, "No! This is the request from Nagasawa Rea, not the daughter of the Sword Saint. This might be the first time I made a decision for myself without thinking about my status… Just me as an individual. Please…"

Theo's expression turned grim as he tried to make her give up. "There is also seniority between us. Can you accept someone far younger than you as your teacher? I haven't experienced the world more than you!"

"A teacher is based on their skills and experiences. And your skill overwhelms that experience… Even if you're younger than me, it won't change the fact I consider you my master."

"Even if you don't do this, I'll still help you here and there. In fact, there won't be any change even if I accept you as my disciple. So, there's no need for this!"

Rea shook her head. "There is a difference. I'd like the world to recognize your status. I promise that I won't smear your name… I believe I can prove it by how I've been doing as your assistant. Is it bothering you if the world knows that I'm your disciple?"

"Not really. I don't care about their opinions. Besides, I've been giving advice to others as well…"

"That's why I wish to be your disciple. I want to pave my way forward and succeed so that I can tell the world that you are the one who has guided me all the way. I promise that I won't bring you any shame."

Theo looked at her expression and saw her determination. For Rea, everything she wanted was to repay everything Theo had done for her. For Theo, a disciple wasn't a small matter. It was a commitment.

Like how Theo committed to one woman, Theo also had to commit to protecting his disciple. Rea had been safe this whole time because she was only a part of his group and her real identity was the daughter of the Sword Saint.

But if he accepted her as his disciple, Rea's status as his disciple would overwhelm her identity as the Sword Saint's daughter. In other words, if someone tried to aim for him, they would target her, who was usually protected by the Sword Saint to avoid angering him.

Theo closed his eyes for a moment. His expression was distorted, troubled.

There was one person that appeared in his mind. It was the Wind Emperor. In his dying breath, the Wind Emperor said, "Don't think your family is a burden. It's fine if you think of them as your weakness, but never a burden. If they're your weakness, that weakness is the one that shows you the path to get stronger."

Accepting her as his disciple couldn't be considered a burden. The people who targeted her were a sign of his weakness. And the way for him to go forward was…

Theo opened his eyes and muttered, "I want to ask you this last question. Becoming my disciple is forcing me to make a commitment. Becoming my disciple means I'm going to protect you. If the world wants you to die, I'll destroy the world itself. If the king of hell wants to torture you, I will bring you back.

"That's why I want to ask you this question, Nagasawa Rea. Do you have the commitment to become my disciple?"

Rea took a deep breath. The answer was clear. Anna declared with a grim expression. "If the world wants to destroy me, I'll get rid of myself before anything happens so that I won't be your burden. No…

"You are my teacher. It will be an embarrassment for you if I kill myself just to escape my responsibility." Rea paused for a moment and corrected her words. "If the world wants to kill me, I'll destroy the world with your teaching. If the king of hell wants to torture me, I'll trick him into servitude.

"I promise, as your disciple, that I won't make you ashamed. Your burden is my goal, your goal is my mission.

"Disciple, Nagasawa Rea, greets her teacher."

Theo closed her eyes for a moment before saying, "From now on, You are my student. Those who hurt you shall become my enemies. I promise you this, no one will dare to touch you or I'll destroy them even if I have to turn the world upside down."
