The Dragon'S Blue Gem
Chapter 10 [Temporary Farewell ]

That's how Aqua's hell practice got worse. Aqua was several times severely injured to the point of near death, to be honest even an adult could not do this kind of training. Because of this, Ashlan was proud that his student had managed to absorb all the knowledge he had provided.

On one side Ashlan was pleased with Aqua's rapid development. But on the other hand he was sad because his separation with Aqua was only a few months away. During that time, Ashlan satisfies herself indulging in spelling with Aqua while training her. He had never had a student before, so he tried to enjoy it as much as possible.

In that short time, Aqua became more mature. The silver hair is elongated until it must be cut Ashlan so as not to disturb. Aqua had also gotten used to reading the opponent's abilities without using her eyes. Currently, there was no monster in the magic forest comparable to him.

To increase his strength, Aqua must fight Ashlan in exchange for the monsters in the magic forest. At first Aqua felt that she was strong enough, but fighting Ashlan made her realize that there are many people in this world who are much stronger than her.

In one year, no. In three and a half years of living with Ashlan, not once did Aqua manage to win against her Master.

"You're strong enough to protect yourself now," Ashlan said as he looked at Aqua who was lying exhausted underneath.

"Thank you. Thank you, Master. But I.. am not at all strong enough," Aqua refuted gasping for breath.

"Haha, don't go down. You are strong, believe me. Successfully scratching me is proof of that. If you do that because you can't beat me then don't worry. Because if I am defeated that easily, it means that the world is not doing well" Ashlan replied arrogantly.

"Master I've been asking, I think it's time for the master to answer. Who is the master?" ask Aqua who started to wake up.

"Hmm. right too. It's time yes. All right, I'll unseal your left eye. Just look at your own eyes."

Ashlan touched his disciple's forehead, a magic circle suddenly came out from Aqua's forehead. After several times fiddling with the circle, the circle broke and the Dragon's Eye Aqua seal opened.

As soon as it opened, Aqua was surprised instead of playing looking at her master status. A crazy status that Aqua had never imagined appeared in front of her.

"A... What the hell is this?" surprised Aqua couldn't believe it.

Aqua was speechless looking at him, she did not know what to say seeing the extraordinary status of her Master.

"I thought my status was fraudulent, but Master's status was even more fraudulent. No, is it because the master has lived for a long time???!!"

"Magic Tower Owner? The Great Magician's student? The owner of the magic academy? All the tittle are awesome!!!! So all this time I was a disciple of such a person??!!!!"

"And what is that level??? 783??!!!!!!!!"

Ashlan smiled arrogantly seeing Aqua's shocked expression.

"Finally after all this time I was able to boast in front of my students."

"Hows it? Your teacher's great, right?"

Ashlan's arrogant tone somehow upset Aqua. He was a little unacceptable, the teacher was careless and efficacious turned out to be such a great person, although on the other hand also proud of it.

".... It turns out that the master is already a granny huh," Aqua sneered.

"💢"

Instead of praise or flattery, what came out of Aqua's sweet mouth was precisely ridicule. It wasn't that Aqua wasn't proud and happy to Ashlan, she just couldn't say a compliment directly.

An irritated Ashlan drilled Aqua's head with both her hands on the left and right.

"Ouch! Pain Master!! Sorry, sorry! Haha."

Aqua laughed and complained of pain at the same time, she felt that no matter how great the master, the master Aqua knew was this one.

"Okay, well.. The master is amazing! Great master! I'm proud to be a master student!"

In Ashlan's ears, Aqua's praise did not sound sincere because it was uttered with a forced tone. But Aqua did think that way in her heart.

"Ck, just so you know the boy. Who wants to be my student is a lot. But they all refused, so thank you that I chose to be my disciple."

Ashlan removed Aqua's head and clucked in annoyance. Aqua just heard it.

".... Masters. Because all this time I lived in the magic forest so I could use the Appraisals, I don't know what other people's powers are as great as. How is the level assessment of people in this world?"

"A judgment? Hmm. That's hard too."

Ashlan thought for a moment.

"Please say this…"

".... Something like that!" answer Ashlan.

"By the way, so far, only 1 human has managed to reach levels above 500 loh. He is my teacher, the great wizard. Other than him, the humans were only level less than 300. ah, but my party members used to be able to be more."

"Hmm? Wait up?"

"Master... Master level is 700 more right? So master…"

"Yep, I'm a demigod, you know" replied Ashlan casually.

"Geeh!!!!!!!!"

As far as Aqua knew, the one whose name was a demigod was a creature that almost resembled a god with extraordinary abilities. He never thought Ashlan was a demigod.

"There are 7 Demigods in this world, even if only I live on this continent."

Ashlan smiled and gently patted Aqua's head.

"I've often said, don't feel like you're strong. Even the strongest creature on this continent would be the weakest if it went to another continent" he said warmly.

Aqua nodded and returned Ashlan's smile. He knew that well, feeling that he was the strongest would harm and make himself less alert.

"Aqua. Let's see if you're strong enough."

With the skill Appraisals, Aqua was not only able to see the status of others. He can also show status to the person he wants. Aqua spread her arms forward, suddenly a status board that could only be seen in the guild and temple was plastered in front of Ashlan. Of course, Aqua hid the tittle reincarnator and the otherworldly person from Ashlan

That's pretty great status. So the reason for your learning speed is 'Fast Learning' and 'Double Experience'!! Plus my Sharing Experience skill, you can level up quickly."

Ashlan was satisfied to see Aqua's status. This way he could leave Aqua without worrying anymore.

"I leveled up this much in 3 years? It's awesome!!!! It's all thanks to Master!"

Aqua was surprised and had her own pleasure seeing her status.

"Master!!! Thank you for everything the master did!!!!"

Aqua's sudden remark shocked Ashlan, she blushed at the statement.

"That's for sure. You're a student of someone as good as me. If you're not great, you don't deserve to be my student from the beginning" Ashlan replied shyly.

"But master, even though my level is still below 200. Is it okay to learn Epic-level magic?"

"Of course, you can also only cast Epic-level magic once a day due to mana limitations."

"Totally so."

Ashlan quiet. He did not know how to tell Aqua that their time together was just a little more. But Ashlan forgets that Aqua is a child with extraordinary sensitivity.

"Master. The reason the master was in such a hurry to train me, I can guess."

Aqua looked at Ashlan sadly, she wanted to be with her master a little longer. But just because of his selfishness, he did not want to hold his master back from his master's responsibilities.

"Master. Now I'm fine. I know the master has to leave after this."

Aqua's sad gaze pierced Ashlan's heart. He doesn't know what to say about hearing it.

Ashlan immediately hugged Aqua's slender body and cried involuntarily. No matter how hard Aqua tried to hold back her tears, Aqua still could not dodge. He hugged his master and cried a little.

That day, they spent it together. They chatted a lot and told each other an unforgettable experience. Ashlan also gives a necklace with Aquamarine jewels to Aqua. The necklace had been cast by magic that could help Aqua someday.

Aqua was touched and very grateful to her Master. To her, other than the sapphire ring from her mother, the necklace was the most precious thing for her.
