Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Right before everyone's eyes, they watched as Dorian emerged from underneath with numerous creatures squished and wrapped around into one giant ball of disgust.

But that wasn't all.

Before Butler Sheng could say anything, Dorian had already joined the creature he subdued into the pack and exorcized them, burning their bodies with a light bluish flame.

~Puff.

The flame was finally extinguished when the last creature's eyeball disappeared into thin air.

[Audience]: (o_o)

Blink. Blink.

Everyone had so many questions, fears, and uncertainties deeply rooted within their bodies.

That is, were they finally safe? What exactly were those things? Were there more of them on and outside the island?

Hello? Can anyone give them the rundown of everything?

Dorian stood firm in place, staring at Butler Sheng and Chan-ki expressionlessly: "Step forward."

"Yes, Grandmaster!" The duo replied sternly.

Heheheh... That's right.

Chan-ki had now started calling Dorian 'Grandmaster.'

And the way he looked at Dorian was now filled with reverence.

"Sheng... You overestimated your abilities, almost leading to your defeat at the start of the battle. Don't do it again."

"Yes, Grandmaster!" Butler Sheng replied, forming his fists in determination.

So he realized where he messed up during battle.

.

In today's battle, Butler Sheng had begun by putting his faith in a spell that he hadn't adequately mastered. And if the creature were even slightly stronger than himself, he would've sustained far greater injuries, or worse... Died.

When choosing a tactic, one had to choose the best and swiftest method that was equally simple for one to do.

If he had begun by battling that thing the moment it slammed itself against the invisible wall, he would've long found the green some and dealt with it without wasting so much energy.

Mind you, he had just entered the 1st Dan and was still in the process of stabilizing his form. So his energy was vastly affected too.

And mid-battle, he also realized the crises at hand if he didn't end things quickly.

That's why every second he had to rest, he was secretly cultivating to boost his energy.

Indeed... He had overestimated his capabilities before the battle.

Butler Sheng might not know it, but the reason Dorian looked very almighty was not only because he was a genius, but because he knew his strengthened weaknesses at every given time.

Look. Even when reassuring the Gia girl, he went back home to gather energy before heading out to display his skills.

Dorian never did anything he wasn't sure of.

He was like a calculator, working countless outcomes and possibilities prior to battle and even within the fight.

Being a genius and mastering everything alone wasn't enough. One had to train their minds and master everything about themselves too.

Butler Sheng had learnt a bit of this today.

.

Dorian nodded in satisfaction, seeing that he had taken his teachings to heart.

After all, he wasn't always going to be there. And watching people die from some mistakes was something Dorian didn't want to see happen.

If you're going to die, let it be from being killed by some overpowered underworld creature or even from one of the Princes of the Underworld. Dying from a 49-year-old being because of a trivial mistake like this was just too shameful!

Dorian wasn't like those masters who would tell their disciples to die and sacrifice their lives when they could live.

If you can't handle things, flee, get backup or alert someone else to take the job.

Its stupid system indeed wanted him to train heroes that would jump into fire whenever possible.

But moving without any firm understanding of oneself was stupid, to say the least.

While helping others out, being selfish and keeping one's life were also important.

They, exorcists, weren't sacrificial lambs that would lead around at will.

Understand your strengths, abandon and seek help when you weren't, and that's that.

In Butler Sheng's case today, he wanted him to understand that overestimating his capabilities would one day lead to his death.

Master what you can, understand your limits, and you'll live longer.

As for the other lessons to be learnt, he was sure that the more experienced Butler Sheng was, the more growing he would get.

.

Butler Sheng stepped back expressionlessly, bowing to Dorian yet again. "Grandmaster. I have taken in your teachings."

"Hmm..." Dorian hummed, turning his attention towards Chan-ki.

Bubuum!

Chan-ki's heart was beating so loudly.

~Plop.

He went down on one knee. "Grandmaster, this humble one is here."

"_"

Ajin and the others didn't see anything wrong with Chan-ki's actions.

Lying trough. This was the Grandmaster, okay?

Chan-ki knelt, looking so determined, as though he would do anything for Dorian at this moment.

When thinking of how ignorant he was, not knowing Dorian's true identity, he wanted to smack himself in the face, swearing to do a great job as one of Dorian's close guards.

Yes. Even after seeing this much, he still chose to stay. After all, what if he left and met such things out there again?

Butler Sheng had said earlier that he had fought many other creatures too.

So it could be said that they might be within every corner around them. Then in that case, wouldn't running away be stupid?

Maybe if he were ordinary, he would flee. But for a trained guard such as himself, he quickly thoughts things through too.

Well, he had decided to continue staying with the Tians!

.

"Now, do you have a sense of what our Tian family does?"

Chan-ki nodded vigorously. "Yes, Grandmaster. I'm ready to be trained and taken in!"

Dorian looked at him deeply: "Get up. We'll talk about it later. For now, everyone, stand back."

Say less. Everyone did as they were told, watching Dorian summon the bears and the white tigers to step forward.

,m "Dig."

'~Grw~.'

In a flash, the creatures began digging an incredibly deep hole.

['Host, this spot is indeed perfect. Do you want to take out the Academy's boundless Heavenly Core?']

Dorian smiled mysteriously.

'Hmmmm... It's time to begin.'
