16 Shameless Bob

"Good good." Bob laughed heartily.

"Woah woah, you're accepting a disciple without consulting your master? " Saitama jokingly said, lifting up the atmosphere.

"Hehe." Bob just laughed sheepishly. He was quite excited recruiting Revant, he wanted to train this kind of person, one who has very strong will power, immovable and unwavering heart. Although Revant had just experienced such tragedy, he was able to compose himself by just a brief consolation of his master.

Revant was also somehow excited, having a peak gold core fomartion master is akin a powerful backing behind him. With his new master, Revant was now hopeful in his road of cultivation, having one good teacher in your life for you foundation can affect your cultivation in the future. Simply, building a firm and stable foundation by having a good teacher have a big effect to one's road of cultivation in the future. Even if one is very talented, it is wasted if one has a bad master to teach him.

Although Revant was excited, he was also shocked when he heard his now master calling this ordinary looking bald man his master.

'This oridnary looking bald man is actually my master's master? So does that mean he is my grandmaster?' Revant still in disbelief.

'No matter how I look at it, this person doesn't look like an expert at all. He doesn't have a bearing of an expert like my master. I can somehow even know if a person is an expert through his or her actions and bearings but this man." Revant contemplated. No matter how angle he looked, this person bearing just screams ordinariness, as if the illusionay mighty bearing he exudes when he gave his speech was just a fraud at all.

"I pay respect to grandmaster." Nonetheless, Revant clasped his hand and bowed his head. No matter what, the two person in front of him are experts, a powerful duo at that.

"Good good, such a respectable disciple. Don't you think master?" Bob was satisfied with his disciple's performance.

"Very good inded. In my eyes, he is still better than you." Saitama dropped the bomb jokingly.

"KURGHH-!" Bob received a massive mental damage.

"To-to think master is so powerful at mental attacks. I am awed." Bob with oscar worthy acting grasped his head and pain, his face twisted and of course started to fawn Saitama at the same time.

Saitama and Bob suddenly started a skit, of course both of them was just joking with each other.

Seeing two respected figures messing around like this, he relaxed and formed a grin in his face obviously amused.

"I have a question for master." Revant butted in.

"What is it my disciple?" Bob suddenly acted serious, as if his shameless act of fawning earlier didn't happen.

"This disciple, Revant wanted to know Master's name." Revant said. Until now, he still doesnt know of his master name.

'Deja vu?' Saitama muttered. He remembered this exact scene happened earlier with him and Bob.

When Bob heard of Revant self-introductory, the former was embarassed in him accepting a disciple without knowing his disciple's name first.

"Listen my disciple, I am called Soul Immortal! I am a grand figure so as such everyone calls me in that title. Since you are my disciple, you may call me 'Soul Master' or 'Master Soul'." Bob haughtily said, with his nose and chin pointing at the sky, one might say he looks like an unreliable, braggart and overwheening middle age man flaunting his non existent authority.

Revant just smile wryly, of course he knew his master was really acting as such.

Bob said that becuase he just wanted to regain some face when Saitama discovered his name as John Bob.

'Atleast my disciple wont ask me of my true name.' Bob thought.

"But I need to know you true name master." Seemingly reading what was on his master's mind, Revant dropped the question.

"KURAGHH-To think my disciple also has talents for mental attacks." Bob said with exaggeration.

Revant right now doesn't know whether to cry or laugh. To think his master is a shameless person.

"No need to know about that, my true name is not important. What important right now is you being my disciple, you must not disappoint me and try your best in learning my teachings. Of course, you also need to respect my master, Saitama since he is your grandmaster, listen to him well and respect him as you respect me." Bob said sternly. Actually he was flustered and swerved the coversation in to another different topic to avoid mentioning his name, and of course he also didn't forget on flaunting his master.

"Yeah whatever, his name is John Bob. Call him Bob or something, even put master if you like it." Saitama yet again drop another bomb.

"KURAAGHHH- such power! " Bob kneeled and was depressed. His embarassing name was now known to his disciple, even his other disciple Soul Fiend, doesn't know his actual name!

Revant was now laughing happily. The previous depressing atmosphere was now gone.

"Will do grandmaster. This disciple once again pay respects to Master Bob." Revant once again clasped his hands and bowed his head but this time he was secretly grinning.

Bob was now even more depressed. His power really know mental attacks.

"Urgh, bring called grandmaster is weird. Call me big bro instead, big bro Saitama and you will now be my lil bro, little Revant, its nice." Saitama demands, as if a big brother orders his little brother.

Bob almost wanted to cry when he heard this.

'My disciple is now my master little bro? What does that makes me then?! I felt like I have no more face left this time." Bob depressingly thought.

"Yes Big bro Saitama." Revant just happily complied.

Maybe, just maybe this two will now be his family after he lost one. Being with them makes him happier and warmer, he had no regrets in having his master Bob and big bro Saitama in his life from now on.

Bob stood up and butted in.

"Whatever, since you are now my disciple put your hand in this crystal." With still dampened spirit, Bob took out the talent measuring crystal and laid it in his palm.

Revant looked at the crystal with puzzlement. Nevertheless, he placed his hand in the crystal.

Waiting for the result, nothing happened even after a minute. Bob retracted the crystal and has a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"It didn't react, indicating one is talentless. No worries, although talentless one can still cultivate albeit very slow." Bob assured Revant.

Revant also was now confused even more.

Looking at Revant's cultivation in his age, Bob was really not impressed since such figure is countless in his realm, it is not shocking at all for him.

"Never worry, with me as your master you can still achieve monumental achievements your life." Bob sounded like he was consoling Revant.

But Bob will never know that the moment he returned the crystal in his Inventory, there appear signs of cracks.

"Don't worry little bro, with me here no one can harm you." Saitama placed his hand in his chest with confidence.

Revant just nodded. He has some part in him that doesn't believe his master assessment but his master is a mighty figure so he somehow believed him.

"I have a favor for master, I want to exact revengeful for the viillage myself." Revant pleaded, he want no external help in exacting revenge. He want to do it himself if he's strong enough.

"To nurture a good disciple, one cannot pamper and protect him all the time. I will only act as a teacher and teach you cultivation techniques, all the tribulation and challenges you will encounter will be dealt by you alone." This time Bob decided to use this method in nurturing his disciple. In the past, he nurtured Soul Fiend contrary to what he said, he always pampets and protect him, clean up his every mess and uses his master's authority to bully people beneath him.

Surprise flickers in Revant's eyes.

"Much thanks to master." Revant thanked.

"Well enough of that, let us find those those that did this." Saitama butted in and suggest to continue their journey.

"Right. Now let us go to Kingdom Macta." Bob suggested, he already knew the murderers are one of the 8 sects in Kingdom Macta.

The 3 of them agreed and started their journey. Revant didn't forgot to kowtowed towards the village and mourn for them for the last time.

The three of them embarks towards their first journey together. Never did they know the monumental effect they will create together in the future.

Before leaving, with a mysterious glint his eyes, Bob with a cultivation technique of 'Soul Devourer' collected the souls of the dead villagers and stored them. His purpose in the future unknown.

---------------------

Hours later after Saitama, Bob and Revant left.

From the place where Saitama and Soul Immortal fought, 2 figures suddenly appeared. They appeared with no warnings and no disruption in the surroundings unlike the summoning of a vortex.

It was an ordinary man and woman in robes wearing a mask, covering their body and faces.

"This was the place?" The man asked.

"Yes. According to the Tyrannical Overlord, the source of power came here." The woman replied with a scrutinizing gaze.

"But there was no sign of battle here, how did it happen?" The man was confused.

"I don't know, but a dead realm becoming like that? It is way too unbelievable." The woman muttered scarily.
