Unlike before the amount of spiritual energy in his body skyrocketed and the amount of wind magic increased by a lot. He instantly gave me the feeling of being in the presence of Master Greetman.
A Master swordsman.
But luckily before he could strike he was stopped by the intervention of Osfor-sensei and the maid san also Takeda sensei.
Osfor was using the Blood paralyze spell. As for the maid-san, multiple chains were summoned from a green magic circle that appeared on both her hands. Takeda sensei who was still reading a book from his right hand. Was using a channeled barrier like a spell that imprisoned the man in front of me.
All of all the man was still able to move a few steps forward before fully halting. He looked angry then said.
"Remove these petty restraints, I need to settle this debt. Now that I finally have the chance I won't tolerate any of you for standing in my way!"
Did I somehow anger this man at some point? I don't think I ever met him…
"What are you talking about you crazy old man?! What debt? I never even met you before in my life… aren't you misunderstanding something or probably mistaking me for someone else?"
"Are you not Greetman's disciple? "The man asked furiously
"Yes I am "answering him immediately to not aggravate the situations but this seemed to only further enrage him as he said.
"Then I am not mistaking anything, you have to pay for your master's wronging"
"What,… what do you mean my master's wronging did he wronged you enough for you to seek blood not only on him but on his disciple as well, I know my master is not a cruel person if you could tell me what happened I might at least understand your standing." Trying to persuade him is the only thing I have left to do the man was batshit crazy.
He then paused for a few seconds before he could say what I immediately thought to be one of the most ridiculous reasons I have ever heard of someone trying to seek blood.
"Ten years ago before I was separated from that bastard we were camping outside the bleak forest northeast of Astarte's borders we were assigned a mission after we completed it I retired for the night but that thief He stole something from me something that cannot be replaced" the man halted for a few seconds reminiscing from the past long gone then added.
"A bottle of aged Grinnain sake that tasted heaven…my precious sake…DAM YOU GREETMAN TODAY WILL BE THE DAY YOUR DISCIPLE DIES FOR YOUR MISSBEHAVIOUR."
(Everyone)"…"
"…let me get this straight, so you want to kill me because my master somehow drank a bottle of sake ten years ago…"
The man calmly responded
"Yes"
(Everyone)"…"
"…I remembered something. Osfor-sensei you said my luggage was transported here didn't you?"
Osfor answered after hesitating a bit seemingly he was still processing what was happening.
"…Oh, ah… well yes, it was. They are over there near that storehouse they still haven't been transported inside."
"Ok, can you keep this man restrained for a moment please I believe I may be able to solve this…problem."
I released the buffs from my body and the glow disappeared.
The man started squirming I think he thought I was going to run away but if I remember correctly Master said that there is nothing better than a good bottle of alcohol to calm down a non-reasonable man. And if lucky it can even make you some allies.
Finding my luggage I rummage through them to find a special object that was given to me by Master.
It was a black box that contained within it a bottle of fermented wine. This drink was if I remember what master said was beyond Old. Getting closer to the restrained man I presented it to him saying.
"If I am correct, you must be the guy master calls choppy-chop chop…he said if I was to ever meet you to give you this."
Right after I finished this every teacher present snorted while Osfor started cracking from laughter…I should probably not have said that because now that I think of it I believe that nickname was quite offensive, suits him well but still really inappropriate. I proceeded to place the bottle near the man not getting within his range even though he was restrained. And quickly withdrew backward.
The man seething with rage was going to open his mouth to say something then he calmed down after taking a good look at the bottle inside the box.
"…This is Imperial wine…There are less than ten bottles of this left in the world…this…DAM IT GREETMAN. I don't know if I should be angry or happy but if it was for this…It was worth waiting for ten years you bastard."
Osfor who just finished his hysterical laughing seizure turned to face me and said.
"This man here can hold a grudge for years. Luckily for you, that wine was enough to satiate his rage. No, I believe that if it is truly imperial wine it is more than enough. Just one of those bottles can buy you a small city. One Imperial bottle is believed to be worth more than five hundred million Crona. You were carrying a huge fortune with you dear Asura."
"Oh, it was worth that much…well if it can at least calm that man down..." I said while shrugging
The man was seemingly unable to open the bottle as he was still restrained yet I was amazed that he was still able to move even so slightly while being held down by the various high-level spells.
"Release me this instant…Let me enjoy this blessing…"
With a thought, it seemed that all the spells were canceled and the man regained his freedom, slowly he knelt and grabbed the bottle with both his hands hugging it and kissing it. As if it was a father seeing his firstborn child.
"Oh, by the way, this man's name is Ousay. He is a former friend of your master and colleague. He used to attend the same school like him too."
I answered Osfor adding.
"Yes, and it appears that he is the sixth heavenly demon am I right."
Osfor answered.
"Spot on. He is one of us."
"And I suppose that the reason that four of the seven demons are here is that that this location is not safe. After all, this place is next to the forbidden zone, where demons triumph."
Tilting his head a bit Osfor said.
"Quite sharp aren't you but not exactly, the demons are of no concern to us right now the entire camp is protected by a barrier that is very effective in repelling them. It's rather the training grounds. They are close to ancient ruins of a civilization long since gone. Some traps are still laid here and the teachers are here to deal with any complications."
Osfor was pointing at a strange structure a bit away from the camp it had multiple pillars spared between themselves with a transparent wall-like structure with an enormous magical circle in the center of each wall. Instantly my eye glittered and copied the shape of the Mahojin.
"Oh, those big walls over there…Oh, but where are the students I only see teachers and some staff here" I interjected.
"Well, it is because this is the teachers' habitat. The students are all on the other side of the lake in tents they are training and learning survival skills. However, some students deemed above such training can be found on that hill over there training with a teacher on magic enhancement and magic clad which you don't need to bother yourself with right now as you already learned it from the best hehe." He then pointed at a small hill right next to the lake where you can see a small cabin on it.
"I taught myself, you only gave me the basic idea…"I said while looking in the direction of the cabin
"…Well, the basic idea is all that counts having recourses and not knowing what to do with them is the same as not having them at all. Anyway Shiki-kun and Yuna-chan are training with other teachers I think they even went dungeon exploring. A lot of personnel have been deployed to help students maximize their potential. And help them with their weaknesses and improve their strengths. You should take a look around as you are only needed to attend. This whole camp was only for students to learn how to handle themselves in unconventional situations. Something you don't need considering your backing but the school demands that you at least participate"
"Oh, that I will do, then-"before I could continue Ousay intervened.
"Oi Boy…what is your name?" the man said in a rather serious manner not compatible with the way he was still holding the bottle.
"My name is Asura Shirogami," I replied immediately wanting to leave this place.
"What about you become my disciple! I promise I can teach you a lot more than that idiot master of yours."
Without hesitation I replied. "Sorry but I have only one master and I am forever grateful to him. Although I would like to ask one thing."
The man replied with a disappointed look on his face. "Too bad…you would have become a fin swordsman under my teachings raw power can indeed make a person strong but without skill, the person is always limited. So what was it that you wanted to ask young Asura?"
"As you noticed I can copy almost perfectly any spell I see. But I still failed to use your spell the divine cutting blade…why is that?"
"Ah, well that was not a singular spell that was only a part of it. My breathing techniques are rather unconventional and if you do not use the first breath you cannot use the second nor the third they must be used in a consecutive order to prepare for the last breath the seismic cut. It was the reason why I chose this skill because even if you can copy it you cannot use it. And this my boy is a free lesson. Never rely on that ability you may find yourself in this same situation with a non-merciful opponent." Said the man grinning.
"Well, it's not like you were merciful if it wasn't for the teachers I believe that I was going to be cut to pieces," I said with a laugh.
"Then I will have to leave I need to do some sightseeing and at least check up on some friends," I said to Osfor-sensei
"Oh, you do that I and this Ousay have things to discuss I will be joining the kids shortly after near the lake."
"Ok sensei so goodbye"
Strolling away I left Osfor-sensei and Ousay-san chatting up and recalling some old memories only to laugh at the sight of Osfor trying to blackmail Ousay for a drink by digging some embarrassing facts and threatening to tell the Maid-san who seemed uninterested by their childish behavior.
