"Pardon? Your what?"
"You heard me."
"..."
Did I hear him correctly?
He wants me to be his disciple?
Damn! What the hell?!
In that brief moment, my mind raced through numerous possibilities as I argued and reasoned with myself a thousand times over.
My initial thoughts were that he must be joking.
Leo Kurogami, one of the most indifferent characters of the story, asked me to be his disciple? Me? Lucas Morningstar?
Perhaps it was just his dry sense of humour once again! However, as I stared into his eyes, I could sense that he was telling the truth.
No, he was genuinely serious about it!
And so began a lengthy succession of arguments and reasoning that I engaged in with myself in my head.
Should I decline? I probably should, right?
I mean, I made a conscious decision to minimise my interactions with a separatist like Leo.
It would be best to reject his offer.
