Severus was currently relaxing in a villa near a first-rate guild. His position in the guild was quite special. He was the son of the creator of the guild. And the current Guild Leader was his brother. But he was clearly one of the strongest in this city. He was just too lazy to handle the paperwork. That's why his brother is the one doing it.

He was about to sip a tea when a system message appeared.

| System: Kite sent you a message |

"Huh? This little shit still didn't complete his quest. He may be asking for help." Kite forgot to return to Severus when he completed his class quest. So Severus thought that Kite was asking for help.

Kite: Help me, master.

Seeing this message, Severus laughed. His disciple was begging him to help him with his quest.

Severus: Just eat whatever you want to eat. Eat a grasshopper and you'll gain its power. Same with the cockroaches. Just do your best hunting any animals you see around.

When Kite read Severus's reply, although he already completed his quest, he got irritated. His master was really an asshole.

Kite: No I'm already done with my quest. I'm asking for another thing.

Severus was shocked. So he already finished his quest. That was quite fast.

Severus: What spirit did you get?

He really wanted to know. This rare class only bound to one animal spirit. And when he was low leveled he used a snake to eat. There were only two people he knew who have a spirit swordsman class. Kite and his father.

Kite: It's a wolf.

Severus got even more excited.

Severus: How many skills did you get?

Kite: Three. One passive skill and two active skills.

Severus: What!! Three?! I only got two.

He was a jealous a little bit. He had many helpers when hunting his first animal spirit but this guy from the slums doesn't have any friends but got three skills instead. What an unfair world.

Kite: Stop questioning now. I'm asking for help old man

He was a little irritated now. He needed help and his master was acting like how a perverted old man spoke. Honestly, he really couldn't believe that Sevurus is a Level 56 Grade 3 Swordsman.

Severus, seeing the word 'old man' also got a little angry. He was still in his prime, 36 years old.

Severus: Hey, who's the old man? If you want my help beg once more.

Kite was fuming right now. Vanessa who was beside him felt his wrath silently brewing.

"Are you okay?", Vanessa was worried. Maybe his supposed helper doesn't want to help him.

Kite smiled. His smile was full of warmth when he saw Vanessa's sorry look. He patted her head and spoke, "Don't worry. This old man is a little strange. I just got angry with his reply".

Feeling her head, Vanessa blushed and smiled. Being pat in the head felt really nice.

His anger slightly calmed down. He looked at his screen and type a message.

Kite: Master they are currently hunting me down. They want to snatch my treasure away from me. Please help this pitiful disciple.

Severus' carefree look was immediately replaced by a serious look. Kite was his disciple. If somebody did kill him, it was like challenging his own authority. He couldn't care less about Kite's treasure. All people have their own secrets. And he will respect Kite's decision if he doesn't want to tell him about it. He was not that petty.

Severus: Where are you know?

Kite was stunned for a moment. Why did this old man's attitude die off? He was really arrogant earlier.

Kite: Savior's Guild. The guild leader sent his own daughter to assassinate me. Luckily she was nice and let go of me.

"Savior's Guild? A third rate guild dares to threaten my disciple. Maybe I'll just announce to the city that Kite is my disciple", he silently spoke to himself.

Severus: All right it's settled now. No one's gonna hurt you anymore. If anyone does lay a finger in my disciple, I'll slash him myself.

Kite smiled. Looked like his master still cared about his disciple, albeit not that much.

Kite: Thank you!

After the conversation a maid approach Severus. "Sir what is it?"

"Announce to the whole city that Kite is my disciple. Whoever dares to threaten him will face my wrath", Severus' voice was full of authority. Not like his usual carefree attitude.

"Your wish is my command", after that she bowed slightly and left.

After that, a shocking news quickly spread the whole city. Severus the Serpent announce that he already took someone as a disciple. And that disciple was Kite! And Kite was currently being hunted by a ton of people for his treasure.

All those people who wanted to kill Kite perspired. Luckily they didn't do anything about Kite. They now felt pitiful for the ones who did make a move on him.

After that, another news exploded. The Savior Guild disbanded and the Guild Leader himself went to Severus to say sorry.

When all the adventurers and citizens of the city heard this they couldn't help but click their tongue. Strength determined your status in this strength-oriented world.

Severus: Head to my guild. Here is the location.

Kite who was still stuck with Vanessa in his room finally breathed a sigh of relief. They finally left the area. When they arrived outside, not a single adventurer was in sight. They quickly disbanded and all the people here fled for their own life. Kite was quite surprised to see this sight. Wasn't it to fast to resolve this problem?

The two of them went to the guild Severus was in. When they reached the entrance of Severus' guild, Kite was shocked. It was five times bigger than the Savior Guild. This guild the first-rate guild in this city.

Black Scythe Guild.

They both entered and many adventurers glanced at them. Their eyes showed shock, jealously, respect, and even reverence. Severus was the strongest swordsman of the Purple Moon City.

Suddenly maids appeared left and right. The most eye-catching woman was in the middle. She had short shiny black hair. She has a tail in her back. Her ear was shaped like a cat's. This woman was clearly a member of a side branch of the beastmen race.

"Please follow me, Young Master Kite", this cat woman bowed and spoke beautifully.

Kite blinked his eyes. Young master? This was the first time he was called like that. Severus might hold a lot of authority in the guild, he silently mused.

Vanessa was also confused. This guild was a first-rate Guild. Being treated like this and being called Young Master definitely meant that Kite has a high position here. Vanessa doesn't have any friends so she didn't receive any news regarding Severus taking Kite as his disciple. Then why does his information said he's from the slums? A lot of questions were on her mind now and she really wanted to ask Kite all these questions. But she held her curiosity and silently followed Kite.w

The catgirl led the way and stayed in front. While the other maid surrounded Kite and Vanessa, left and right.

They finally arrived at a villa. It was just on the backside of the guild. It was like your common villa on Earth but its decoration was really unique. Strange and new plants and animals inhabit it's surrounding. Some bright objects were floating outside the villa. Even the villa itself looked really mystic and holy.

What greeted them inside was a throne. And a handsome middle-age man was currently sitting in it.

The man opened his mouth and spoke, "Why are both of you not kneeling yet!?"

Vanessa knew this man. She was quite overwhelmed by his presence. She looked at Kite and was even more surprised. He was showing a disgusted look. She was about to inform him about this man when she heard his voice.

"Damn you old man, quit pretending and get down from that throne!"

Vanessa almost fainted.
