Meeting My Disciple.

After registering and learning a lot about the mercenary guild and influential figures. I went on a mission. As I'm in need of money to survive. Since I left the area of the mountain ,I've gained the ability to get hungry and thirsty. As I haven't fully merged with the sword energy ,I still require sustenance to continue living. I went on a mission to kill a pack of Inferno Wolves outside the city. I went to the described location and I just used sword coating on all 4 of my limbs equally. Providing slightly more defensive power. I found the pack of wolves wandering around the forest. I rushed out and sliced the neck of the closest wolf. As soon as my hand made contact ,an explosion sounded out. My sword energy erupted and caused the entire wolf and a few nearby wolves to get caught up in an explosion. After realizing that my sword energy is usually suppressed by the spatial territory ,I held back my strength quit a bit and continued killing the rest of the wolves. After learning from guide that my power is suppressed in the territory in order to allow me to gain better control of my sword energy ,I went back to the city with 7 horns instead of 10. It seems that I'll need to take another mission if I want to have a full stomach tonight. Walking into the mercenary guild ,I went to reception and turned in the mission form along with my 7 horns as proof of completion. Receiving 70 copper coins as payment ,I realized that I was thinking to much. The horns were apparently worth 10 copper each. Seeing as I'd have a full stomach tonight ,I hopped and skipped my way out of the guild. On my way out ,I realized the arrow that I forgot to put away a long time ago turned around. It seems like Alex is in the guild right now? I look towards the arrow and see a cloaked man in the corner of the guild. He seemed to be ,doing paperwork? That has to be him. The only people who would be doing paperwork in the guild are either the guild master or the city lord. Seeing my arrow point to him ,I walked over to the man buried in paperwork.

"Would you like some help with that ,Alex?"

I whispered thoughtfully to my disciple. It seems like time flowed different in the spatial void I was floating in. It's been a month for me ,but it's been a whole 30 years for Alex. Seeing his sword energy masked in his arm. I realized that he had indeed hit the 10 point attribute limit. Although his basic attributes had indeed reached a limit ,his sword energy was still able to grow and it had even reach close to half of his attributes. Alex had managed to increase his sword energy to 23 attribute points in the years he had been training. After he reacted to his name ,he looked up to see my face as he smiled.

"It's been 30 years and you haven't changed a bit ,master."

"30 years have passed for you ,but for me it's been a shorter time."

"Huh. Alright ,what do I owe the pleasure of you visiting me."

"Nothing much ,I've grown a bit bored even in this short time. So I've come to check your progress. But I come to find out my little disciple has already grown into an adult."

"Yes ,it seems so."

He said ,as if he just realized it himself. I guess I'll impart the next method for him to improve.

"Since you've grown so well ,I'll teach you how to advance past your current bottleneck."

"Yes ,Master!"

He stood up excitedly ,as if he had forgotten that he was the city lord. He shouted like a disciple replying to their exalted master. I was happy ,but also a bit concerned. If anyone here knew who he was ,I'd be revealed as his master. Giving him a look.

"Does anyone else here know your identity?"

"Only the guild master ,but he's not here right now."

"Alright ,do you have anywhere we can go to privately train?"

"Well ,yes. But I need to finish this paperwork."

"It's just signing your name right?"

I ask as I look at the full name on the paper to the right. It seems that habits never change. His left hand is still his preferred hand. I use my extremely high basic attributes to finish the paperwork in seconds with perfect accuracy. As a mid-grade Spirit Sword ,I can do this kind of menial task easily.

"Finished. Now lets go to that private area."

He looked at me in exasperation.

"How strong are you ,master?"

"Heh. I'd tell you exactly how strong I am if you could understand it ,but for now I'll just say one thing. I'm at the level of a Mid-Grade Spirit Weapon. While you have barely reached the level of a Low-Grade Spirit Weapon."
