"Uhh…"
Alex wasn't sure how to respond to such a preposterous request. The obvious answer was to reject him, but the man was down on his knees. Heck, his head was slamming into the ground.
He was too taken aback to say anything immediately.
"Master?" he looked up after getting no response.
"Don't call me that," Alex said. "I'm not your master. I haven't taken you as my disciple."
The young man looked disheartened and went back to kowtowing with his head to the ground.
"Stop! I'm not going to accept," Alex quickly said, realizing the man still held hope.
The young man quickly looked up. "Why not? Please. You're so good at it. Teach me," he said. "Just one technique. That technique you used earlier. Just that. I just want to learn that technique."
"I can't teach you that. I'm still working on it," Alex said. "I haven't developed it to its fullest potential."
