'Fellow disciple? What's that?'
I played dumb.
My dagger technique was passed down to me by a hunter named Oliver.
It wasn't just to respect Oliver's privacy.
If Oliver and this adventurer named Pandan were from the same school.
Maybe Pandan could become my superior.
I might have to call a stranger I just met my senior or uncle disciple.
Unacceptable.
"No, where on earth did you learn that dagger technique..."
I tilted my head innocently like a naive snake.
Pandan looked at me and chuckled.
"To be honest, I never imagined a snake could really use a sword."
However, just playing dumb wouldn't make Pandan drop his suspicions.
"There shouldn't be anyone eccentric enough to teach dagger techniques to monsters..."
He pondered for a moment, then opened his eyes wide and whispered:
"By any chance, was it an old man with white hair and six fingers?"
