"Why?" Daiki asked with dark face.

"What?" Dante leaned on his chair as he sat down.

"You give him the chance to train himself." Daiki said again.

"I did." Dante closed his eyes

"Since you started training him, he had been slowly realising a killings intent. And you know to whom the intent was targeted. That person was constantly on his watch these days. If I can see it, I'm sure you also can see it." Daiki spoke.

"Huuufff... You are right about the killing intent. But to whom he project it to.. you are wrong." Dante spoke.

"If he had any killing intention toward her, he had killed her long ago. Dispite that, he had been supressing those intent with his lazyness all these time. It was just my training that had triggered it to resurface as he kept on building his strength.

As for why he kept his eyes on her, most likely she was his beacon toward his goal. Am I right? Nilma?" Dante looked at the door.

The door slowly opened. Nilma walked in step by step. As she reached in front of Dante, "You are right. We both are looking for my father."

"As for his reasons...." Nilma looked towards Daiki before stopping her words.

"Alright. Alright." Daiki walked away and left the room.

After telling the story of their childhood, Nilma left the room.

"Sigh. Another tragic childhood. Can I have someone who has a happy childhood and just wants to sail with me for adventure? Well, mine wasn't that great either." Dante mumbled.

Tapping on his table, Dante looked at Usher training room information.

"I invest heavily on you. You better come out with good result. This special course cost me 50million this time. Just to increase your passing requirements." Dante said as he tapped on Usher training room.

{USHER}

*Increase the requirement for passing the course.(Normal rank -> Special Rank equipment)

"Train well. They said that blacksmithing will forge your mind too. I hope you will be one of my most valuable assets in the future." Dante said as he closed the information.

"Navigator. Haizz when will that boss find a new navigator? At least recruit someone who can navigate so I can train too." Daiki muttered as he check the route of their journey.

"What a fate. Hehe." A voice was heard behind Daiki.

"Tch. What are you doing here?" Daiki asked as he saw Nilma.

"Nothing. I had finished my own training and on my way to cook our lunch. Just dropping by to see what you are doing." Nilma said as she sat down on a chair.

"How about your training course?" Daiki asked.

"I'm good. I've decided that I don't want to do it yet. I'm good with what I have right now. And Dante didn't have objection about it."

While the training room was open to everyone, Dante had told them that it wasn't necessary for them to take the special course. As long they are improving their strength, they are good. The course was just an extra benefit that came with their registration.

"So how far is our next island going to be? It has been weeks of sailing without seeing any island. I'm so bored." Nilma asked.

"Three days at most. We will arrive at Karate island." Daiki checked on the map.

"Great. I'll go and cook our lunch." Nilma stood up and walked away.

After Nilma left, Daiki squatted and start to train in the navigation room. As Dante had designed the room to be spacious, Daiki did some improvement and arranged some space for him to train as he had not much time as other crew members.

Of course Daiki was very grateful if someone came to replace him, so he can enter the training room. As for why anyone likes it better to train in a training room, because of its facilities.

Dante had once offered him to move his training room's door to navigation room with some cost, but was immediately rejected by Daiki.

The reason was simple. He was not the ship's navigator and that room wasn't going to be his after they got new navigator.

Hearing the answer, Dante let him did whatever he want in that room.

Three days later, an island was seen by Daiki. He immediately informed Dante and Nilma about it.

A boy crouched down as he looked toward the sea with a scope. Not far from the island, he saw a ship was approaching.

"A merchant ship. Orca? Looks like we have a new merchant group incoming. I need to tell big bro about to this." He put his scope back into the bag and ran away from the cliff.
