: The first year story 036, teacher...and disciple

"Little brother, I think I should tell you something."
The girl walked back to the giant wolf and sat on the ground. At this moment, the giant wolf also opened blood-red eyes and stared at the idiot.
The idiot didn't know what the other party wanted to do. Although she had treated herself, he had never seen anyone treat a wound in this way. People in pharmacies and hospitals never do this. Thinking of the unknown face of the other party, the idiot's vigilance that had just been let go again, he hugged the baby girl tightly in his arms and looked directly at the girl.
The gentle smile under the white cloak disappeared. Instead, there was a solemn and majestic voice. The girl grabbed a small handful of sand from the ground, raised her hand to a place about five centimeters above the ground, and released it. Those sand grains fell, but surprisingly, the sand grains did not fall back to the ground, but condensed into a monster with the tail of a scorpion but the feet of a spider and the head of a snake.
"Don't be afraid, this thing is a phantom. Don't look at it. It seems quite small now, but the real size of this guy is the size of a hill. Eight hundred years ago, this monster once swept half of the sad continent and caused a The biggest disaster since the destruction of the last era."
The idiot silently stared at the thing with teeth and claws, not knowing what the girl wanted to say.
"This thing is too powerful. It took the people on the sad continent for a long time and paid a great price to wipe it out. For this reason, 53 countries were destroyed and tens of millions of people died. In the decades since this monster was wiped out, many countries have not cheered up. People who died because of destruction, hunger, and poverty are almost equal to those who died in battle."
"This is a very tragic history, but it is a pity that there is not only one such monster."
The girl again grabbed a handful of dust and sprinkled it into the air. The falling dust gathered into many weird monsters running rampant in the cave. Some monsters even ran to the idiot's feet, causing him to shrink his feet.
"Based on the standard of ordinary humans, these monsters are roughly divided into ten levels. From the lowest level one to the highest epic level, the number is arranged in a pyramid pattern. But the point I want to say is that Until the end of the Second Era, there has never been such a rampage of monsters."
"The last battle of the Second Age is a battle that cannot be described in words. The fierce battle and the heavy casualties may not be described by imagination."
Having said this, the girl's cloak was raised slightly, and the line of sight inside seemed to glance at the idiot's right arm.
"Although the battle ended with the victory of mankind, some forces that shouldn't exist were out of control as the enemy coach was sealed, spilled out of another dimension and eroded the world. Many creatures were infected. , And then mutations occurred one after another. Although more than a thousand years have passed, the large number of epic-level monsters has no longer appeared, but even ordinary monsters are not threatening the survival of mankind all the time."
The idiot lowered his head, wondering why the other party wanted to say this to himself.
"Child, do you know why I want to tell you this?"
As soon as the girl's hand loosened, the dust monsters dissipated, turning into dust and falling back to the ground quietly.
"Because you look like a beast."
"In my opinion, you are no different from a beast wandering alone in a cold wasteland looking for prey. It is precisely because the beast has no self-esteem, no sense of morality, everything is only for survival, so you will be more eager for power. It is even more unable to resist the temptation of those'powers that should not exist' to them."
The eyes under the cloak had already stared at the idiot's right arm unceremoniously, as if feeling something, the blood pupil had also opened, responding to the girl opposite the person with red eyes.
"However, people are always people, not beasts. I sincerely hope that you will not follow in the footsteps of your'predecessors'. I don't want to see one day when you really lose yourself and become something more difficult to deal with than epic monsters. ……thing."
An Mie snorted and sneered: Unknown language) nonsense."
The eyes under the cloak were as deep as the starry sky: Unknown word) Yeah...I don't want to seal you again. Not for you, but for the child who was entangled by you."
An Mie sneered and stopped talking.
The girl raised her head, and when her gaze shifted from the dark to the idiot, the coldness of her mouth turned into tenderness again...
"But child, you also have the right to choose, don't you?"
After speaking, the girl stretched out her index finger and pointed at the tip of the idiot's nose. There was no smile on the lower half of the melon seeds' face exposed under the cloak. The girl said loudly: "For some reasons, I can't intervene in world affairs. But I can provide you with choices. Boy, now I will provide you with two futures. You, choose yourself."
The idiot raised his head, still wondering what the other party was trying to say. But before he could react, the girl's fingers were slightly bent and flicked...
The fragments flew away, and the bursting stone hit the face, feeling painful.
The idiot's heart stopped...no, to be precise, his heart forgot to beat at that moment. Just less than a millimeter from his ear, a fist-sized cave appeared out of thin air on the rock wall. This hole has been extending into the rock wall, but...you can't see the head...!
"This is power. I can teach you how to use power correctly. It can fight against a hundred, a thousand, and ten thousand people. As long as you have this power, you will never be bullied by anyone again. You can do Whatever you want to do, kill anyone you want."
"But conditions..."
The girl's green fingers pointed directly at the baby girl in the idiot's arms.
"Give me this kid."
The idiot froze for a moment and looked up. It seemed that he hadn't figured out what was going on for a while. But it doesn't matter, the girl can tell him the relationship.
"I can see that this baby girl is your concern, but at the same time, she is also your burden. She will make you unable to concentrate when you are practicing strength, and it may even lead you to a sidetrack. So, leave this child to I, I am responsible for taking care of her and raising her. And you, you can leave here with this sword and the power that everyone envy, and take a road that will never cross her.
Will the idiot agree to this condition? do not know. All he knew was that he was holding the baby girl tightly and didn't mean to let go.
Seeing this scene, the girl waited for a while and stretched out her second finger
"And the second way, you can keep this child, and then whether you use it to crawl or roll, continue to take care of her. But as a condition, I want to take the sword from your arm. It is completely connected to your blood, so I will take it away with your right arm. On the contrary, I will not teach you any power, nor will I give you any food or water. Just leave you here and watch the struggle of your beast."
Will anyone accept this condition?
The late night sandstorm rolled over the desert and howled. They rolled up the dust that covered the sky, and rushed to the distant stars and sky, engulfing them...

The idiot hugged the little baby girl tightly and shrank in the corner. He did not respond, nor did he speak a word. It's just that his body is trembling, and the arms holding the baby girl... are also trembling.
The infant girl was looking at him, looking at him with those green flawless eyes. This little girl didn't know at all, what intense ideological struggle the person holding her was enduring. This boy who has no blood relationship with her, no relatives, and even no intersection in his original life, is engaged in an ideological struggle...
Is it for strength or for babies?
Originally, this was an issue that did not need to be considered at all.
The conditions for the first path are too rich. The girl in front of her will help herself and take away this baby girl who will only add to her burden. Moreover, she will teach herself what she calls "power". The little baby girl followed her without worrying about whether she would have food in the future, whether she would be hungry, and whether she would catch a cold. How can it be like when you are with yourself, not having enough to eat or dress, but also being frightened, and enduring an environment where you can be killed anytime and anywhere?
In contrast, what about the second way? No one would choose the second way. If the first way can be regarded as a mere request, then the second way is to pay without return. Which fool in the world would choose such a path of no reward, only giving, but no reward?
The answer... is so clear. You only need to hand over the little girl and you can be free from this heavy shackle. but……
My own hands... why are they so heavy...
It's so heavy, can't even hold a baby?
The girl sat quietly on the spot, waiting for the idiot's choice. Such a simple choice lasted for nearly half an hour. The little beggar in front of him looked at the baby girl in his arms, lowered his head from time to time, and touched her small forehead with his forehead. The little baby girl smiled from time to time, tapping the little beggar's cheek with her two small hands, making an innocent laugh...
Time just passed bit by bit. When one hour arrived, the girl stood up and came to the idiot.
"Have you considered it?"
"………………………………

"It seems that you still don't have an answer. It's a pity, I have no answer to your answer, very..."
The girl raised her hand--
"satisfaction."
