Chapter 34: 34: Father
"Don't want to be caught up by him?" Scathach asked.
"Yeah." Kevin nodded vigorously and said seriously: "I don't want to!"
Scathach nodded slightly, without asking why, but took off a small silver bag hanging on her body and handed it to Kevin.
Kevin took the bag which still had some body temperature and winked at Scathach.
"It was made from a rare magical beast from the Sea of Death that can swallow boulders."
Under Kevin's puzzled gaze, Scathach said, "It doesn't have much use. It can just store a certain amount of dead objects. You can put things like your divine fruit in it for easy carrying."
Storage bag?
Kevin's eyes flashed with realization. After taking the small gray cloth bag, he looked at Scathach and said, "Give it to me?"
"Hmm?" Scathach nodded, "It's yours."
"Hey..." Kevin asked in a long voice, staring at Scathach.
"What's wrong?" Scathach tilted her head.
"No, I was just thinking, this isn't a compensation gift from you, Master... Hey, Master, you also know that this method of tricking me here is not fair!"
Scathach ignored Kevin's teasing and raised her eyebrows slightly: "No?"
"Yes!" Kevin opened his eyes wide and quickly grasped the silver bag, fearing that she would snatch it back.
Then Scathach taught Kevin the method and put all the divine fruits that were pushed aside into it.
"Does it have a name?"
"No." Scathach shook her head.
"You made it yourself?"
"Yeah." In order to make this item, Scathach silently crouched on the Sea of Death for more than three months.
"Then I forgive you, Master!" Kevin, who was playing with the silver bag, didn't know the details, but still smiled and said to Master: "I know that you are the best to me, Master!"
He was calling me "stinky master" just now, BBA... What does this BBA mean?
Scathach looked at Kevin with amusement, then stood up and pinched his face out of habit: "Have a good rest, and continue your formal training after your injury is healed... If you don't want to be caught up by Cu Chulainn, then cheer up."
"Master, will you take special care of Cu Chulainn?"
"I didn't know how to do it originally." Scathach, who was about to leave, shook her head first, then smiled and said, "But now I know how to do it."
"Hmm..." Kevin shut up obediently and didn't ask the reason, nor did he need to ask.
Well...it has nothing to do with me anyway!
Not long after Scathach left, just when Kevin was lying there feeling a little bored, Cu Chulainn, smiling, walked in with Ferdia.
"Are you here to visit me or to laugh at me?!" Cu Chulainn looked at himself, who had nothing in his hands but laughed more and more wildly, almost rolling over with his hands covering his stomach.
Kevin, who was aching all over, picked up a pillow and threw it at him angrily.
The magical fruit can play a certain role in healing injuries, but it cannot heal them immediately.
Otherwise, Scathach would have taken him out to continue training.
"Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss." Cu Chulainn said, grabbing the pillow, "It would be nice to be a little handsome boy quietly."
"Small is redundant! ... So this senior brother is..."
"Brother, that's not necessary." Ferdia, who was a bit more muscular than Cu Chulainn but still handsome, stepped forward and said to Kevin with a smile, "After all, if you really want to count, you have been training under the master for longer than I have."
"But after all, I have never entered the Kingdom of Shadows, so I can't really be considered as your disciple." Kevin replied: "So just think of me as the junior brother who just came in, and..."
Kevin turned his head and looked at Fudia: "Being called Senior Brother by you guys always feels... weird."
By the way, Kevin and Cu Chulainn are both only fifteen years old now.
And Ferdia is already twenty years old.
It should be said that none of the warriors who practice in the Shadow Kingdom are younger than nineteen years old, and the oldest is nearly thirty.
Ferdia felt relieved when she saw that Kevin didn't seem to be telling lies or being polite.
He also didn't want to call Kevin "senior brother". After all...from their perspective, Kevin was just too cute!
In other words, they don't know how to describe this situation, otherwise they would definitely complain secretly about Scathach supporting a gigolo!
"What a shame." Cu Chulainn, who was not surprised to hear this, said with some regret: "I was thinking about seeing their troubled faces when they called you senior brother."
In today's battle, Kevin gained a lot of favor among the disciples of the Shadow Kingdom.
His words and actions make them feel comfortable, his strength is stronger than theirs, and he dares to face Scathach and challenge her thousands of times!
It can be said that almost no one is dissatisfied with him, and some have even gradually begun to admire him.
Then they remembered what Scathach said, that Kevin had been a disciple for five years.
If Kevin asked them to call him senior brother, a large number of people would actually do so, and they should.
Just think about a group of brothers who are over two meters tall, and call themselves Brother Kevin, who is about 1.7 meters tall and looks like a young handsome boy... Oh my god, what a cult!
Cu Chulainn was originally looking forward to such a scene, but Kevin said that he was not worthy of it and it would be better for him to be a junior brother.
Cu Chulainn and Ferdia were obviously sent by Scathach to entertain Kevin, and they chatted for a long time.
Until finally Scathach called the undead to call the two back, double their training, and begin to test Cu Chulainn's critical point of death.
Kevin didn't know Ferdia's "life". In short, he only knew Cu Chulainn, Scathach, and Maeve, whom he would meet in the future.
In the following time, Cu Chulainn was taken care of by Scathach every day. He was treated very badly, but he never cried out.
If it were in the past, he would have rolled up his sleeves and fought against Scathach.
But now, he held his breath and endured Scathach's torture, just to surpass Kevin as soon as possible!
Kevin, who had been lying in bed for two days, watched Cu Chulainn grow tired every day and then return satisfied.
Although he knew that Scathach did this for him to see, he still cursed Cu Chulainn in a low voice, calling him a masochist!
But on the third day, his injuries from the beating had not yet fully healed, but he couldn't help but join the training without Scathach saying anything.
And looking at Kevin, who has obviously graduated but is still following in Cu Chulainn's footsteps and being abused by Scathach, no, no, being trained.
The disciples in the Kingdom of Shadows couldn't help but feel more and more impressed and esteemed of him.
With the two of them leading the way, the undead in the Kingdom of Shadows was horrified to find that these guys were like they had suddenly taken stimulants, and each one was fighting more desperately than the other!
It has to be said that after verifying with Cu Chulainn and confirming that Kevin really had no talent, these people were really stimulated.
The scariest thing is not that something is out of reach. The most hopeless thing is that it is right in front of you, but you can never catch up with it.
After a week passed.
Kevin's injury was not healed at all and was even aggravated by two points. Today, he came to the last level of the boulder jumping outside the Shadow Country.
Scathach said that a guest was coming today and asked him to go and meet him.
Kevin didn't have to wait long before he saw the familiar bird come up to him and land on his shoulder.
"Kevin."
Then, when Kevin smiled and tried to touch it, a gentle male voice that was somewhat strange yet familiar sounded behind him.
Kevin turned around and looked at the handsome blue-haired middle-aged man. His face lit up and he said, "Father, long time no see!"
