Reboot: Mechanic

Chapter 85 Deceived

Once the dummy robot was demolished completely with the 1-ton force punch, Shi Tian was satisfied. It might not be impressive given that the dummy robot wasn't of the same strength as the formation robot one, but he was able to improve some of his flaw movement.

His movements have been sluggish and usually in disarray, giving him quite a disadvantage. When fighting, knowing the correct footwork and how to position yourself in an advantageous position was crucial in winning.

Sometimes, it doesn't even matter if a person is powerful. If their movement was inferior to the opponent, then it would be difficult for them to win.

Panting heavily, Shi Tian was about to search for some water to quench his thirst but halted when he saw Isaac Aaronax behind.

"How long were you standing there, Master Isaac?" Shi Tian asked calmly. He wasn't surprised by his appearance since Mary had most likely notified him of his arrival.

Instead, he was more curious about how long he was standing there. After all, he hadn't noticed his presence until he had turned around. And although this might not mean much on the surface, it is actually an important matter.

To be able to stand behind him without alerting him or revealing his presence was equivalent to being able to assassinate him and he wouldn't have an idea of how that occurred.

How could he not be worried by such a thing?

Though naturally, a factor that was included in why he was so careless was the lack of killing intent emanating from Isaac Aaronax. Since Isaac Aaronax didn't have any killing intent directed at him, Shi Tian didn't feel anything amiss and was focused on his training.

Of course, all of that was just some comfort thinking Shi Tian made for himself. A capable and professional assassin would always know how to conceal their killing intent.

"You don't have to look so wary, Nathan. I'm your master, not your enemy." Isaac Aaronax smiled and said, seemingly able to read his thoughts.

Shi Tian merely smiled and didn't comment on that.

Admitting or denying would be a terrible response either way. Only by staying silent would he still hold the right to be in control. If he were to admit or deny his claim, then the conversation would be for Isaac Aaronax to control.

'This brat is a crafty one for sure.' Isaac Aaronax exclaimed inwardly. Shaking his head, he found Shi Tian to be more and more likable. Maybe it was because he kept finding himself to be similar to Shi Tian, and it was this peculiar feeling that was preventing him from advancing his plan.

"Do you wish to learn how to conceal one's presence?" Isaac Aaronax suddenly asked.

Shi Tian was taken aback.

"You're willing to teach me?" He asked in a dazed tone.

To be able to conceal one's presence was definitely a great skill that could assist him in the long run. Just imagining the possibility of avoiding multiple enemies simply because they couldn't detect his presence was already making him excited.

"I'm willing to teach you, but that's a topic derailed from the mechanic class that I originally agreed to teach you. So you should know what I mean, right?" Isaac Aaronax responded subtly.

Shi Tian narrowed his eyes and remained silent for a few seconds. Taking a deep breath, he then shook his head, "I'm not gay, so sorry, you have no chance at all, Master Isaac. I'd rather not learn the method to conceal one's presence."

"..."

A darkened expression soon appeared on Isaac Aaronax's face. It wasn't because Shi Tian was rejecting him, but the fact that he was mistaking him as gay. He was a full-fledged man and back in his heyday, he was making love with multiple women daily.

"You damn brat! How dare you tease your master!" Isaac Aaronax scolded in fury.

How could he not tell Shi Tian was trolling him on purpose?

With his intelligence, it was pretty clear as to what he wanted.

Currently, there is only one big piece of news circulating within Gearits City which almost all citizens are preparing for it: the New Region.

Meanwhile, Shi Tian shrugged his shoulders and tilted his head, feigning ignorance purposely.

Who told him to always try to sound mysterious and pretend to be a sage of some sort? If you want to request something, then say it outright instead of making the other party guess your intention.

Don't they know how hard is it to keep using the brain for such trivial matters?

"Ugh, I'm already an old bone, so why couldn't you just take a step back and give me some leeway." Isaac Aaronax scratched his head and said exhaustively.

"An old bone that could still conceal many abilities and backgrounds. I doubt they could be considered an old bone anymore." Shi Tian said, flashing a solemn expression.

Sooner or later, their delicate facade would be broken, so it was better to expose some of their cards early on.

"Hahaha, it's truly a blessing for me to accept such a smart apprentice. At the very least, I wouldn't be needing to exert a lot of effort to protect him since you know, there are too many idiots out in this world." Isaac Aaronax laughed heartily.

Seeing him laughing, Shi Tian decided to follow suit and laughed along.

After today, it was clear for the two of them regarding one thing.

There was no need to put up much of a cautious act since both of them were each hiding their own secrets. Since both of them currently required the assistance of each other, then it simply meant a betrayal would be extremely low.

"Ahh, this brat is already getting arrogant. I was truly deceived by your previous behavior and composure." Isaac Aaronax put his hands on his hip as he continued to laugh.

"Isn't it the other way around, Master Isaac? I was the one deceived by your amicable self." Shi Tian laughed, shaking his head repeatedly.
