The Beast
I recovered my flight after Sensei's unexpected interruption, my thoughts perplexed.
Was he saying that he would protect me?
That just seemed strange…and absurd.
As I glided between the trees, I counted the number of times he had done so, and they were not many.
Sensei was the type to let me make mistakes and then correct them afterwards. He was the same even in my memories as a human and perhaps, this hands off approach had taken an extreme turn since our rebirth.
But it was odd that he would say this now.
If he wasn't a system, I would guess that he was drunk.
Why else would he say something cringey like this?
I had the suspicion that he was playing a trick, but his serious tone threw me off guard.
«You seem surprised.» Sensei said. «What's so strange about what I said?»
Was he kidding?
"Everything." I deadpanned.
«Why? What did I say wrong?»
