Ocean Master

As soon as they finished welcoming Sebastian before he could blink, the Leroy clan members left, disappearing almost as abruptly as they came, leaving him speechless once again.

In the end, everything returned to the beginning, leaving him with the big Grouper fish and the turtle clan head, Leroy.

"Umm, what's his name?" Awkwardly turning his body, he asked the turtle. Despite seeing it for minutes already, he was still left shocked at how big this turtle was compared to those that he'd seen on earth.

"Oh, that is my sidekick. His name is Big Group". Leroy turned to face the Grouper fish. "Right, buddy?"

"Huff!" The Grouper pushed bubbles up through the water. "Yes, buddy!"

"Good boy". Leroy placed his hand on top of its fishy head and rubbed gently, earning a cheerful shake from the deadly Grouper fish.

Asking a question that left the turtle glaring at him suspiciously, Sebastian finally confirmed its gender. Leroy was a male, and Big Group was a male too which he already predicted.

After asking all the questions in his mind for clarification which he was grateful for that Leroy answered, he finally had a general idea of this place a bit.

From the way they talked, he guessed that Leroy was the highest leveled ocean creature in the clan, which translated to why he became the clan head.

It never got outdated, the biggest hitter was always the leader.

From the slap that he suffered under the turtle's hands without having a single chance of retaliation, he guessed that this turtle was probably far higher-leveled and evolved than he was.

They didn't just stay there though after the other clan members left; Leroy took the lead as they started swimming to the clan's lair.

Throughout the journey through the expanse to the location of the clan's lair, Sebastian kept quiet as the turtle sage, Leroy started teaching him the basic knowledge about Oceania.

He felt like he returned to his teenage years where his teacher loved lecturing him with that awfully authoritative tone, he felt like lashing out but he held himself back thinking of the holy slap.

Spare the rod and spoil the child, he guessed that this was the strategy that Leroy used on him. "What a scam!" He lamented.

According to Leroy, he was a 60-year-old turtle.

He narrated the basic knowledge about Oceania that the system already revealed to Sebastian again, making him heave a huge sigh of relief after confirming that the turtle teachings were not a scam.

According to Leroy, Oceania is a magic world. He didn't know how it originated, all he knew was that one day he just broke out from his egg and came out to see this magical world.

His parents were not there when he woke up, only his fellow siblings who were confused about what they were and where they stood.

That same day that he broke out of his eggshell, he and his siblings suffered an attack from a Viper. The long evil thing swallowed a few of his siblings, but he was among the lucky fellows who survived.

Sebastian was beyond bored already as the old turtle continued its tale, the only thing preventing him from falling sleeping was the occasional insightful information that he gave.

According to him, the blueish-green light that always shone, illuminating this region of the ocean was this region or sea's essence magic.

Sebastian already suspected it before, and Leroy confirmed it to him. This was the Green Mist Sea, and the name was given to it due to the color manifestation of the essence magic here.

The world was powered by magic.

It was abnormal for different species of creatures to be communicating with a similar language, but all of this was possible because of the ever-present magic essence in the water.

About the shark incarnation ceremony that he told Sebastian about, it was just like a coming-of-age ceremony that is usually organized by all shark clans annually.

That was the reason why Sebastian woke up with no family member nearby, his parents left him to experience the perils of the world alone.

It was cruel, but according to Leroy, that was the way of the sharks.

Only the strong-willed and heavy hitter sharks get to survive, and only they get the opportunity to reunite with their family and meet the alpha shark.

If Sebastian could survive and grow strong enough to find his way home, then he would be welcomed by his family before being subjected to undergo the coming-of-age tournament.

It was a tournament of the young sharks that survived. Through it, they will be ranked according to their strength which would determine their future path as strength meant everything in Oceania, most especially to sharks.

Digesting all this information at once, Sebastian felt overwhelmed.

Yes, he was a great shark dissector in his previous life, nicknamed the crazy dissector, but does that warrant his fate of living a life where his parents abandoned him immediately after death?

Uncaring about his feelings, Leroy rambled on.

According to him, in this small expanse underneath the cave, 2 clans were the dominant power here and they were rivals. Both clans were the Leroy and Teeth Power clan.

Sebastian didn't even need more elaborate explanations before he understood why the turtle took him in.

As a great white shark, he had a lot of potentials to become stronger in the future. To strengthen his clan as well as to kill his rival, this was the reason why Leroy took him in and gave him such valuable knowledge for free.

Having learned everything that he needed; Sebastian became curious. "How did you know so much about Shark family customs?"

"Experience". Leroy raised one of his hands, the annoying sage-like vibe emanating from him again. "I told you that my parents left me too, I've experienced a lot of things, kid".

"Surviving alone as a baby turtle in Oceania is not an easy feat, kid".

Sebastian wanted to ask another question but he was interrupted.

"Sebastian…, Welcome to the Leroy lair!" The turtle spread all its 3 pairs of hands exaggeratedly with a proud smile of achievement lighting up its face.

"Wow!" Sebastian was not faking it; he was sincerely awed as he took in the sight greedily.

He was beyond amazed. "What a beautiful sight!"
