Ervice!

"Aren't you too old to be killing people, especially young people over such small issues?" Enopy said as he could no longer hold back his anger.

"haha, I may be old, but I am far older than you think, you mortals couldn't ever fathom my true age, and besides, if I were to tell you the amount of people I've killed, you would wither in terror," the old man retorted with a calm tone as a grin formed on his face.

"huh!?" Enopy felt something that he could never forget, which caused his pupils to construct, "it's like the old man in the forest, that feeling that I could be killed at any moment….is he the old man? , He could be, but there could be multiple people, I have no chance to retaliate now that he sealed off my core"

His thoughts were cut off by the question the old man asked,

"Why do you keep on trying to manipulate and fuse techniques despite all the injuries you gain? I get practicing to use this skill in the future, but your rushing, not caring about your body at all; why?" the old man asked.

"Just cause-" Enopy wanted to lie in hope of fooling the old man, but he was cut off before he could finish his sentence.

"Don't!..lie to me; the next time you try, I'll take your head and pin it to my wall, so watch your words," the old man said as the feeling intensified.

Enopy knew he had little chance to lie, so he forced himself to give in. "I sensed that my supervisor had malicious intent against me, so I have to leave this place before them, so I need to use every chance I get to become stronger and protect myself, but my plan requires the fusion of techniques," Enopy said quickly, he knew if he left something out, he would be asked about it later.

"Hahahahaha... If you felt malicious intent from your supervisor, then that means he let you sense it, they are probably watching you now but not too closely because of your heightened senses that surpass your rank" the old man laughed hysterically as he mocked Enopy.

"What!?" Enopy was not able to contain his thoughts and blurted out, "wait, you're probably lying; you just barged in and stepped on me; you think I would believe you so easily, and how did you know I was experimenting with techniques?."

"Well, it's not hard to spy through this low-level house, so don't blame me for spying," he said as he got off of Enopy, and sat on the black couch next to the bookshelf, "besides you would definitely overreact if I didn't limit your movement and seal off your physical core" the old man retorted as he continued.

"Let me tell you something, sit." the man said as he pointed at the seat across from him.

Enopy got up and sat on the seat.

"I have traveled all around this world, transcended magic knights, gave life to tons of kids, but here I am alone, and no, they have not left me, but I have left them. They were arrogant, Conceded, and rude. They didn't know what it meant to strive, to survive to be left in the wild of society, To experience those glares of contempt and disgust, to run and never stop running, to train with no time to stop, to bleed to the brink of death, and do it all alone, so….I left with my Legacy and techniques. Kids, adults, they all ran my way to be my disciple, but none could ever even graze my expectations, and those who could change when they got a taste of fame, they changed just like those unruly children of mine" his face changed to the expression of disgust.

But he stopped and looked at Enopy "despite my long life, I can only run so long from death, but it has finally caught up. I have used multiple techniques, but they soon turned ineffective. I moved on to elixirs and medicines, but I've grown immune, I chased rumors that turned out to be fruitless, but, now….I wish to pass down my techniques, and leave my name on this world…..but it's meaningless, if someone more powerful and eccentric than me appears, they will make my name be forgotten, but an heir…..can keep my legacy going and can carry my prowess, I only hope I can teach it all to you before all my memories fade" the old man said as his eyes turned dim as he dives into his memories.

"So uh, what was your name" the old man stopped and asked as the shine in his eyes was revived.

"Enopy," Enopy answered.

"Enopy what?" the old man asked in annoyance.

"Enopy Rizen"

"so, Enopy Rizen, I Ervice Omni will now take you as my disciple."

"I refuse," Enopy quickly said he wasn't willing to be under someone in this life.

"What!" Ervice was stunned and blurted out, "how can you refuse? wait...Why am I acting like this is a discussion? I can just force you."

"No, I'll just kill myself when I get the chance, but maybe some stuff can change my mind."

Enopy retorted.

Ervice stared at Enopy for hours before saying, "fine, what do you want."

"I'll take you as my trial master...

"Oh, and I want to rob this place before I run, so I can use the help and some inscribed items. I'm sure you have a huge collection since you have lived so long, I'll take some energizers and cores, and I will live in your house, you should live in a giant place, ill just take the underground training ground and some info about the sturdy dock, and this place ok?" Enopy quickly named his wants while watching for Ervice's bottom line but Ervice made no evident moves nor did he change the smile on his face, so Enopy just kept going.

"fine, if I wasn't like you when I was younger I would have killed you when you said "I'll take you"….well, will go immediately," Ervice said before he raised his hand and soon a copy of Enopy and Ervice was made right in front of them.

"Stay here Enopy two, and you, Ervice 300,000,0034, come back to me after an hour."

The copies nodded.

Enopy was baffled by this technique, but was soon pulled back into reality by Ervice who threw a ring at him; the ring was black and looked normal, but Enopy knew not to judge things by sight and moved out the way, letting the ring fall to the ground, he wouldn't trust Ervice so easily.

"Don't worry; I won't harm you, I'll leave my training methods to do that for me," Ervice said as he patted Enopy's back

Enopy was unable to sense Ervice's hand, causing him to be shocked, but he controlled his body and calmed himself down, Enopy materialized his swords and picked at the ring, ignoring Ervice.

Soon he picked up the ring and gave Ervice a chance to speak.

"It's a cloaking ring, inscribed items, you can keep it, take it as a gift to my new disciple," Ervice said as his grin spread across his wrinkled face.

"let's go," Ervice said as he opened the door and walked out, leading Enopy to his house.

Minutes later, they arrived in front of a four-story house.

"Oh, I thought someone as powerful as you would have a giant mansion," Enopy said as he glared at the four-story building.

"haha, wait till you get inside", Ervice announced.
