Dum?
"Did he just try to call me dumb?" Himmel Soan was perplexed and wondered what gave them that idea.
Realizing he had a slip of tongue, Ein tried to cover it up. "We have a Mr. Dum who often buys pills from us. I mistook you for him."
"I see." Himmel Soan nodded.
Only then did Ein start observing Himmel Soan.
He's just an ordinary man. There's no spiritual essence in him. Why did my pupil bring him back? Didn't a capable cultivator buy all our defective pills?
Why's there an ordinary man? Did he buy all the defective pills? Impossible! It must be a joke! thought Ein.
He asked, "Sir, I heard you were interested in alchemy. Have you tried it before?"
He didn't think his pupil would lie to him, not to mention he had brought that man back to the Elixir School. He can't have brought back an ordinary person! I'm not that old yet!
