The Cute Master Was Actually the Black Demon King

35 – Your identity

“Heo-euk, heo-eok… ….”

Taking a deep breath, White laid her body on the ground.

Mana has been depleted for a long time, and there is a limit to enduring with guts.

‘…… It’s a real monster.’

Muttering briefly to herself, White rolled her eyes straight up.

“How is it, did you feel good?”

“… ….”

Ashera, the person who made White do that, looked down at him with a fresh smile.

“…… Don’t say anything that could cause misunderstandings.”

“I don’t know what you mean~”

“Haa… ….”

White sighed lightly at the sight of her own teacher, who just let her pretense pass.

“… ….”

Soon, a bit of bitterness began to appear in White’s eyes.

‘…… Despite the past experiences, I still have a long way to go.’

White bites her lips lightly enough not to be noticed by Ashera.

A little resentment crossed his face.

And, whether or not he knows White’s feelings.

“Circle 7, no, I think it’s just ahead of the 8th circle.”

Ashera removed her speech with a meaningful smile.

Her eyes curled gracefully, drawing out her bright eye smile.

“Awesome, really.”

“…… What do you mean?”

“What can I say? Of course, it refers to the student’s growth.”

Ashera smiled and cautiously took her seat next to White.

“At no more than 19 years old, and before entering the 20s, I am facing the rank of archmage. It’s truly an unprecedented monster, isn’t it?”

“… ….”

That was a compliment, if you have to say it, but White’s expression was not very good.

Should I say something or not?

“Haa… ….”

After struggling for a while, White sighed without saying anything.

“Well, I complimented you, but coming back is a sigh. If you keep doing that, Master, you might get hurt?”

“…… Under.”

Without even answering Ashera, who was joking around, White snorted at her.

Soon, a light of absurdity flashed over his expression.

“Didn’t the teacher completely overwhelm me like that? Hearing such words only feels like deception.”

“Huh… ….”

White grumbled, and Ashera’s smile grew even wider.

“Ah, we have to compare things to compare. Do you think there is an age gap between me and the disciple that can never be narrowed down?”

What was so funny, she raised the corner of her mouth and patted White on her shoulder.

“Oh, don’t. A little.”

And White nervously removes her touch.

“Ahahahaha, are you shy?”

“… ….”

At that point, Ashera started teasing White subtly with a mischievous smile.

“When I was young, I was just cute, but as I get older, it feels like my disciple is estranged from me, and it hurts my heart.”

“Don’t talk nonsense, Master.”

However, as if those words didn’t make sense at all, White let out a blank laugh.

“When I was young, I just did it out of respect, but now that I’m older, isn’t there any reason to do that?”

White muttered that calmly.

“Ah, why? I want to see you, your cute appearance.”

“… ….”

As soon as Ashera responded, a slight conflict appeared on his face and then disappeared.

“Ah, disciple. I thought about it for a while.”

“…… Isn’t it?”

“I don’t think so.”

Ashera flashed her single single mischievous smile.

After staring at Ashera for a while, White shook her head slightly.

“…… Let’s just move on with things that don’t matter.”

“Ah, this is also important in its own way.”

First of all, Ashera was the one who responded, but did she reflect the opinions of her own disciples in her own way?

The playfulness on her face began to fade little by little.

“…… Disciple.”

“Yes, Master.”

Somehow, White frowned slightly at her unusual voice.

What are you trying to say?

I don’t think you’re trying to joke around again by saying something like that again.

“… ….”

It was White who thought of that for a while.

Her own master’s serious expression, which soon became clear in her eyes, White slowly began to raise her body.

“Do you have anything to say?”

From noble mtl dot com

White asked with a serious expression in his own way.

“…… Whoops, that’s right.”

At that, Ashera put a faint smile on her lips.

Ashera gazes at the blue sky with a bright sun for a while.

“Disciple.”

…… Soon after, she began to open her mouth with a somewhat bittersweet expression.

“Are you still unable to tell me?”

“… ….”

That was a word without a clear subject, to put it bluntly.

White could hear clearly what her own mentor was trying to say.

An embarrassing light appeared on White’s expression.

“Are you talking about a secret I am hiding?”

“…… Yes.”

Ashera replied in a slightly cautious manner.

She’s unusually aware of her own disciple.

Seeing Ashera like that, White began to think about it.

‘…… Should I speak or not?’

Frowning her face, White focused on her thoughts swirling in her head.

…… The secret you are hiding.

That’s right, she knows the future.

Of course, the future is always fluid, and it changed a lot at the point of killing the golden demon king.

The experience of the past and the knowledge of the future did not disappear.

Originally, she said that at this point she should only have herself and she should only have 5 circles.

However, considering the current situation, there was no way she couldn’t cross the 5th circle wall at the very least, having once reached the level beyond the 9th circle.

It’s been quite a while since I reached the 7th circle, and now the 8th circle, which is called the archmage level, was just around the corner.

“… ….”

A bitter look appeared on White’s face and then disappeared.

…… Yes, at the age of only nineteen, himself.

Wherever you go, you are facing the level of a great wizard who is treated more than a high-ranking aristocrat.

Master, that’s probably what Ashera is trying to say.

A level that is absolutely impossible to reach if you think normally, an achievement that cannot be achieved.

But he did it without incident.

How is that possible?

What kind of method did he use to knock on the door of the 8th circle at such a young age?

Anyone can’t help but have doubts.

Even the golden demon king, who had tasted his power once, was in awe at that part.

‘…… Is it natural for Master to have questions?’

White took a breath with a faint expression.

Should I speak or not speak?

If I had to choose, reason was forcing me to choose the latter.

How can I say that?

They said they came to see the future, or that they interfered with time and returned to the past.

…… The you of the future has entered the path of absolute depravity.

“… ….”

White’s expression went cold in an instant.

And at that point, Ashera, who had been watching White worry over and over again, let out a shallow sigh.

“What? If you haven’t made up your mind yet, it’s okay, disciple. Because I promised to tell you someday. Yes?”

“…… Master.”

White turned her bitter gaze towards her with a little guilt of her own.

“…… Pooh.”

Ashera burst into laughter at that.

“…… Master?”

“Ahahahaha, ahahahaha…… !”

Ashera’s laughter grew louder as White revealed her doubts.

“…… Oh, I’m sorry. It’s just that the disciple’s expression a while ago was so funny.”

“It was funny…… ?”

White’s expression was subtly distorted.

You said your expression was so funny.

What does that mean?

“… ….”

…… A moment ago, what kind of expression were you making?

White thinks such a foolish thought once and sees it.

And while smiling gracefully at White, Ashera answered his question.

“What can I say? Oh yeah. To put it bluntly, was it like the expression of a puppy wet in the rain?”

“…… Yes?”

And with those words from Asherah, White momentarily put her blank expression on her face.

…… What did she hear now she herself?

What, a puppy wet in the rain?

“…… What bullsh*t is that?”

Unknowingly, White muttered her curse words.

“Ugh, disciple.”

Quang!

“Yup.”

While pretending to be serious, Ashera punished White with the blade of her hand.

She gave me a gentle smile.

“Who dares to swear in front of you, I didn’t teach you that.”

“…… Sorry.”

First of all, White spits out the words of apology with a disgusted expression.

However, he felt a bit unfair, so he scratched his cheek with a shy expression.

“…… Master.”

Then, with a slightly resolute expression on her face, White carefully removed her words.

“Yes, disciple. Are you listening?”

“… ….”

At Ashera’s light reply, White stiffened her expression with a slightly serious look.

‘…… I can’t tell you everything.’

At least not yet.

But.

One thing, if there’s one thing I can tell her at this point.

“… ….”

Slowly, very carefully.

A determined light began to emerge over White’s expression.

“Disciple?”

And then, with a curious look, Ashera called White.

“…… Asherah, I am.”

Soon, one of the secrets he was hiding was about to spill out of White’s mouth.

White met Ashera’s gaze with a serious expression.

“…… What are you going to say?”

Surely, Ashera’s expression also changed to a serious light.

“… ….”

“… ….”

There was silence for a while, and White and Ashera began to face each other with their own light.

…… And, not too late.

“Me.”

White opened her mouth again, parting her lips.

“I know who you are, Asherah.”

And that short word that jumped out like that.

“──.”

She succeeded in making Ashera’s expression cool in an instant.

“…… Now, what?”

Ashera muttered in a slightly trembling voice.

‘…… Whether it’s right to say this, I don’t know.’

With her straight eyes directed at her, White parted her lips again.

“The Dark Lord, Ashera.”

“…… !”

“…… Isn’t that Master’s true identity?”

Half-impulsive, not matching his original personality.

White brought out one of her secrets he had been hiding in front of Ashera.
