CHAPTER 15 - GETTING A TEACHER 2

His offer was good. And it was true, they had no teacher. It would be incredible to be accepted into the academy but Nate didn't care about that. He cared about Lucian.

Little god had too many secrets. It wouldn't be good if others got to know about them. He was about to reject the man when he felt Lucian get closer to him.

Lucian got closer to him, intending to speak in a lower tone in his ears, but because he couldn't see, his lips mistakenly brushed Nate's neck as he spoke. His breath tickling him.

"Nate I think it's fine, he doesn't have ill intentions. He can help us. I'll control my abilities he won't find out" Lucian knew Nate was behaving this way because he was trying to protect him.

" Little god, did my heroic stance awe you so much, that you had to get flirtatious when speaking," Nate said with a teasing smile on his face. He knew Lucian had not done that intentionally.

The man stood there watching with a scrutinizing gaze. Were they already this intimate at this age? Kids these days knew how to live a life.

"..."

"get lost! wh...who is being flirtatious with you"

"After brushing my neck with your lips, you deny it now...sigh I've been used. My innocence is gone." Nate made a dejected look.

"..?.." Lucian couldn't see all that facial expression and he was confused. That was his neck he was speaking into not his ears??? He thought he had gotten it right this time...

Seeing the speechless and confused look on Lucian's face, Nate gave out a chortle

"Fine..fine so should we let him teach us?? What about your sight?? We'll have to tell him, you know... Are you ok with that?" Nate asked seriously.

"Well, there's no gaining something good without risking right???" Lucian said with a shrug

'Raphael, are you sure, it's ok?' Lucian asked again because Raphael was the one that gave him the go-ahead.

'Yes! Your training with Nate will not get you anywhere. Being able to learn to control your sight, skills, and qi is equivalent to learning to control your beast. And looking at this guy, I think he's pretty good. His qi fluctuation is very stable. He must have good skills. it will be best if you two learn something sensible now. And besides, you need the pass out of this town If you want to know who you are.' Raphael ranted.

Lucian sighed...he was right

" We agree...as long as you have no ill intentions, we'll be your students. The horns are yours. We don't need it anyway."

Nate let his guard down, he hoped they were making the right decision.

" Great! am Arthur, and I truly have no ill intentions. May I know your names," Arthur asked walking closer to them.

Before Lucian could respond.....

"Am Nate, the god of war and he's little god, self-explanatory..." Nate said looking proud.

Lucian glared at this hot-blooded soul.

"Err...shouldn't he have the god of war title??"

Arthur asked chuckling as he pointed at Lucian. He was already liking these kids.

"Of course not he's....."

Before Nate could continue, a kick came straight to his buts.

"Ouch... so mean. That is the 100th time...100th.." Nate said almost cursing out loud.

"Really! I thought you said you've lost count.." Lucian said smiling widely.

"hmph.." Nate glared at him

"He's Nate and I am Lucian, Also if you are going to be our teacher, you'll have to know that am blind. Am only able to follow my senses. That's how I was able to kill that beast"

"You're blind??? Impressive.." ooh it all made sense now, the playfight and the brushing of his friend's neck, looks like he wanted to locate the ear. And it also made sense, why his eyes keeps staring at specific places that did not make sense. He was now even more fascinated

"It's fine, I was trained by a blind old man myself, we'll handle it. We'll start the training tomorrow is that ok with you both. Nate..are you here??" he asked seeing Nate was still massaging his buts.

"Huh...ah..yes sir," he said standing straight.

Lucian chuckled.

" Just call me Arthur, am sure we'll be friends soon. But note, I won't be lenient with you two, am a strict person, and I love perfection." He said with a smirk on his face.

" We'll meet here early in the morning then, and we promise to do our best too. Right... Nate??"

Lucian looked his way to see if he had any objection.

" Yes..yes tomorrow morning it is, and we'll put in our best. I won't train with my father". Nate said. He'll find an excuse to escape from his dad.
