Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

Chapter 68: The Mysterious Master

I looked up to see that my master had returned. He was standing on the top of the only building here in a way that made me feel he was here all the time. I stood up straight as I felt great respect and awe towards that master as I said with a deep bow of my head:

"Welcome back master."

"Oh, the greatest salute of Droon's empire, this is a surprise."

He then disappeared as he appeared in the next second standing in front of me. I wasn't sure if he moved very fast or he just teleported from there to here.

"You know that prince is an exiled prince that people say he lost his mind."

As he spoke about Shin for the second time I noticed something important, he knew about the nickname of Shin and also knew about his situation. I looked towards master with doubt as he said:

"Don't feel surprised like that, I'm not a normal NPC."

I couldn't agree more to his words, as he gave me the impression of greatness from the first moment I saw him. I didn't speak as he pointed to my spear while saying:

"To be honest you gave me a great surprise, you learnt how to use phase two of the spear this fast, and you also used it with opened eyes, that's great."

He then moved slowly around the ground that was full of dead bodies of those NPCs, I noticed he wasn't sad or angry, instead I felt some pride in him. after he took a tour he stood against me as he said:

"What you did, although was self defense, it violated the regulations of the game."

"" I was about to defend myself when he raised hi index finger in front of my face as he added:

"I don't need to hear any excuse, as spearmen never say such things."

I felt strange as I didn't know what to do or say. He then explained:

"Your training here is finished, you can go back to your crazy prince and loyal friends and try to level up faster."

He just said these words and was about to turn around and leave. I was lost so I hurried to say:

"Master, what about my punishment?"

He paused with his back to me and then he said:

"Why do you want to be punished?"

"Didn't I just break the rules of the game?" I asked with confusion.

"Yes, and I just informed you of that, but that doesn't mean you are going to be punished."

I suddenly understood his meaning, he had sheltered me from harm, which made me feel deeply touched. I bowed my head again in respect while saying:

"Thanks for your help master."

"I'm your master, if I can't protect my disciples, how can I be worthy of being one?"

He walked for a few steps before saying:

"You have piqued my interest already, but that's not enough, you need to make great achievements to be worthy of learning more from me. go back and try to make great things, and when I feel satisfied with you, I will send for you to come."

Suddenly I felt a strong gust of wind that blew my body to the back. The wind was gentle, but strong enough to make me appear outside the spear training hall. Just as I stood straight, the whole training hall miraculously vanished.

I closed my eyes and opened them, but the place where the training hall was occupying turned into an empty piece of waste land. I turned around in disbelief and wandered the place many times, but there was no trace for the training hall, it was as if it didn't exist from the beginning.

'What is going on here?!'

I muttered to myself while I stood in daze against this empty land without a clue. Just as I tried to figure out what was happening, I recalled the strange behavior from Shin and my team.

I also remembered that the master knew Shin's past and current state. The only conclusion jumped into my head smoothly, both of them knew each other, and so Shin had the answer to my dilemma.

'Where are you now?'

I sent this message without hesitation to Shin directly. They just didn't leave for long, so I believed he was still in town.

'I'm at the gate of the town, what happened? Are you okay?"

'Oh, I'm fine, I just finished with my master.'

'This fast? That's weird'

His comment made me more sure about my guess, so I said at once:

'Stay where you are, I will come to you.'

'Ok, I will send you the location of the gate and the shortest way to get here.'

He then sent me the coordinates of that gate with some general directions to reach there rapidly. I put the location of this gate on the map and then moved directly towards it. On my way there, I noticed the presence of many players, much more than I noticed before.

It seemed more players reached level 10 and began to flood the town. My level was high, but I lost my confidence in being one of the strongest here after seeing all of these players here. I wasted a long time in the training hall, it was worth it, but I took a long time indeed.

In 15 minutes I reached the location of the gate, where I found a bigger crowd of players standing there. They seemed to be gathering around a certain area, but I couldn't see exactly what was happening there from my location, so I moved rapidly towards Shin and my team who were standing nearby that crowd.

"What happened?" I asked.

"It's the recruitment process of the big adventure groups," Mony said.

I looked towards the big crowd, their number exceeded one thousand by a lot.

"How many of these big groups are there?"

Shin pointed out to the center of this crowd as he explained:

"There are five super groups there, which are Solaris, Greatos, Forandy, Eby, and Lelican."

I muttered those names again in a try to memorize them. Before I could ask Shin about anything related to my mysterious master and that strange accident of the training hall, I received a sudden call request from Respawn.

'What happened?' Shin sent it to me privately as it seemed my face had changed once I saw that call request. I looked towards him while replying privately:

'It's Respon.'

'That damn bastard, I want to speak with him too, let's go there and talk to him,' Shin said decisively as he moved towards a far empty alley. I looked to his back as I muttered to myself:

'Why do I feel this is a bad idea?'
