《Death… And Me》Death... And Me
Advertisement
It has been over one month since Rean and Roan became teachers instead of students. Under their spartan methods, the kids teaching speed increased several times. Especially since Rean still remembered how the teaching methods were back on earth. Obviously, they were much better than the ones in such a sub developed world. Alanda even made sure to record it down so that they could use it with other classes in the future.
But the impressive one indeed was Inna Malaka. She already knew how to write and read by the end of the first month. Still, there were several errors here and there. But after this month with Rean and Roan, all those problems almost disappeared. Unlike the Twins with adult minds, Inna was really a genius, both in cultivation and mind.
Not only that, in just two months, she also reached the Bones Enhancement Stage of the Body Transformation Realm. Rivio, the Green Aptitude Color boy, was still halfway there. It was thanks to that that Alanda and Juri noticed the difference. If you say that blue color is 100%, a green one is 50 while yellow is 30 with brown coming at 20. The jump in cultivation speed between Green and Blue was just terrifying.
Today, Alanda gathered all the kids again. They were going into the surrounding forests with the warriors to hunt Demon Beasts. Of course, they would basically observe while the warriors did the job. They would then help the warriors to separate the meat, remove the hide, and things like that.
But Rean and Roan had other plans. They wanted to open the Rewards List in the Soul Gem Dimension, so they had to kill 10 Stage One Demon Beasts. One must remember that when they were still in the Spirit Vision Stage of the Body Transformation Realm, they were already able to defeat them. Unfortunately, the kill was another story. Those beasts would usually flee when they noticed that they weren't a match.

To prevent any mishaps, Rean and Roan decided to work together. They might not like each other, but they aren't dumb enough to let personal emotions get in front of real benefits. Besides, after so many challenges against each other, they knew the other side as the back of their hands.
There was just one problem, they had to convince Alanda first.
"What, you want to go in a different direction of the group? Are you looking to die?"
Rean shook his head.
"We could already fight them before, now that we had our breakthrough, we are pretty sure we can kill a few on our own. Besides, it is not like you are really leaving kids to go out on their own."
Alanda immediately shook his head.
"No can do. As much as you are adults, the fact is that your bodies are at the kids' size. First of all, do you have any weapon that you can use to give a fatal blow? Without one, I can't picture the two of you being able to do that."
Roan pondered a bit and said.
"A Sword will do. I'm proficient with any kind of weapon you can imagine."
When Roan was Death, his appearance changed according to the beliefs of the natives around. Not only that, but his weapon was the same. Considering that he guided Souls in an entire universe, there were basically no weapons he had never tried before.
'Hahaha. Just how many weird and bizarre forms did I transform into in the past? Even my weapon was no exception. Finally, this grandfather's suffering will pay off!'
Alanda looked at Rean with doubt in his eyes.
"What about Rean?"
Rean shrugged his shoulders.
"I'm different from him, I didn't practice with any weapon in my past life. However, we just need one of us to do the fatal blow. If it a fight with fists, then I'm no inferior to him. Our teamwork is definitely much better than ordinary warriors as well since I know him better than anyone."

Alanda pondered a bit. He still remembers the last time they left to hunt, and the twins really defeated a few demon beasts with only fists.
'Fighting experience is necessary, and considering the level of demon beasts here, they should not be in danger.'
He looked at those two and then said.
"Very well. But Roan has to teach Rean how to use a sword. There will be a limit to what one can do with just their fists, after all. Also, you two must not go more than 5km away. Just walk with the group on the sides."
Alanda then passed the two a red bead.
"If you end in a dangerous situation, just crush this bead. As long as you do that, I will know where you are and that you need help. Also, bring Opril and Diakar with you to be safe. They know about your real power, so it won't be a problem if they follow you."
Roan nodded. He already intended to help Rean to learn how to use some weapon. Obviously, he doesn't care much about Rean. But they are connected to each other through the Soul Gem Orb, and Sister Orb made it clear that the Orb needs both of them to work. Chances are that if Rean dies, he might die too.
Rean also understood this issue, so he didn't refuse Alanda's words. It's just that he didn't want to ask it himself.
Alanda then warned the two.
"I won't be able to check on you since I need to keep an eye on the real kids. There is also the chance that some of the nearby Tribes will attack us. But this is also the reason that you should be fine. After all, they would come for the biggest group than a few stray gods. They would never consider the possibility of geniuses leaving the protection of the warriors."
Rean and Roan kept nodding at everything Alanda said.
After that, he passed the two one Sword each. It was quite a weird sight since the Sword was almost as tall as them. However, as soon as Roan took it and began to handle the Sword, it looked like the Sword came to life. Even Alanda had to admit that his swordplay is not at the same level as Roan's. The only difference is that there were no Spiritual Energy or Elemental Control involved.
Of course, there was no Spiritual Energy back in the other half of the Universe, so Roan couldn't use it to start with.
"Good. I can try it with Spiritual Energy and Darkness Element later."
Alanda got a lot more assured after seeing that.
"Alright! All the kids should have arrived at the gate already, so let's go."
