11 years ago

on a red but cold planet, a young man not even 20 years old was relaxing with the girls in a pavilion. He was the most flirtatious man on the planet! If he caught a girl's eye, she was sure to fall in love with him.It was very easy for Aserah to attract a girl, and he was a great master at it.There were not many people like him in history.

"Hello..."

At that moment, a handsome middle-aged man stood in front of their table. He had a sweet smile on his face, and Aserah was sure he was up to something, but he still didn't quite understand what was going on.

"H-hello..."

All the girls greeted her shyly, and Aserah was at a loss for what to say.These women he now had at his disposal were very skilled at picking up men and were never shy. Even Aserah had struggled to pick them up.

But now, this man had embarrassed them with just one word!

Aserah was at a loss for words. This man who had suddenly come to their table was giving him a different feeling. Who is this man?

"Girls, could you please leave us alone?"

"S-sure..."

The girls left, giggling and embarrassed, each giving Michael a crazy look as they tried to pick him up, but Michael was too tough for that. He had slept with much more beautiful girls, so surely it was just a fantasy that these girls would touch him.

The girls left, and Michael took the seat opposite Aserah. Michael was very relaxed while Aserah looked at him with a serious and threatening look. Sometimes he took something from the snacks on the table. He would smile at the girls in the distance, giving them hope, because many of the women here did this to weak people, and Michael was just taking revenge on their behalf.

At that moment, he was waiting for Aserah to recognize him, but his eyes opened after only five minutes. He still didn't know who he was, but he realized something.

"You are the one who has been following me for a few weeks!"

Michael just laughed at Aserah's reaction. Aserah still didn't realize a few things, but that didn't matter either.

"Yes, you've done a great job catching the gaps I gave you so you could see me. Really well done.It's amazing that you made it to Step 2 at only 20 years old."

Michael's words hit Aserah like a missile, and he realized he still had more to learn about himself. He thought carefully.

"It seems you are a developmentalist. But why are you so old?"

Aserah looked at Michael once more, searching for the answer to his question.Michael had a naive smile on his face, but it held many mysteries.After a few seconds of looking at that smiling face, Aserah realized the truth.

"You are cursed..."

"Hahahahahahaha yes you are right! I must have disturbed the Universe Force a bit, apparently it gave me a punishment, but what could I do? Anyway, I don't need to tell you all this."

"I want you to be my student."

Aserah didn't know what to say at this sudden offer. A man was coming out of nowhere and asking him to be his disciple. How could he accept right away? No, he couldn't! How could he accept?

"Aren't you too weak to ask me?"

It was not a challenge. It was a curiosity. If Aserah was stronger than Michael when he was 100 years old, then what was the point of Michael being his master?

Michael just laughed at this statement and waved his hand.

All of a sudden, the ground started quaking, it got dark, and everything got turned upside down. It wasn't actually happening, but people were getting a strong feeling. It was like a planet was crushing down on them and making it hard to breathe. Aserah was the first to act, reaching for the table and attempting to rise. Yet, he found himself grappling with an inability to breathe, accompanied by a tingling sensation that seemed to radiate from his throat. Despite his struggle, he remained steadfast, standing firm against the onslaught, though his brow was marked with sweat, cold drops trickling down.Michael's proximity to Aserah was unrelenting; his status on Step 2 seemed irrelevant in the face of relentless pressure. Asarah felt powerless to break free from the grip that threatened to overwhelm him. Aserah tried to lift his eyes to see Michael's rank, but he couldn't even do that.

He was clearly not qualified to see his eyes.

Michael drew his aura and, before Aserah could see it, it quickly wiped the memory of the entire area.Everyone started acting as if nothing had happened, and Aserah came to his senses. He couldn't believe his eyes.Michael was unbelievably strong! He had put on quite a show, but it was all from just sitting there!

"I think that's enough, Aserah."

Aserah got up from where he had fallen and plopped down on the couch, thinking hard.

"I'm still not sure."

"I'll teach you how to pick up girls."

"Master!"

Aserah did a complete 180, suddenly calling Michael master. Finally, the two of them left the building. They were on a different planet, so they were going to leave this world, and Aserah had to get her things.

"Where are your parents?"

Michael was a bit hesitant about asking Aserah this question, but he felt it was important. He wanted her to understand something about himself. If he wanted to grow and evolve, he needed to face the challenges that were holding him back. This was Michael's first lesson, and it was a big one.

"Does it look like I have a family?"

"Perfect!"

"Huh?"

"Nothing."

Aserah was also an orphan and owed his life to his development. At a very young age, he found development and killed the old man who had begged him. He then became a Money Hunter in many ways, and soon after he got to Step 2, he found out that he was a multi-talented genius.But he didn't care about that. Instead, he was completely at ease and spent his life with women and pleasurable things.

"And do you miss them?"

"Why should I miss them? I never saw them, and they never cared about me. I am alone."

At that moment, something happened that Aserah didn't expect. Michael put his arm around him. Aserah didn't understand what was happening. Why had Michael suddenly done such a thing?

"It seems you are no longer alone, Aserah."

Aserah looked at Michael's face once more. Michael had a sweet smile on his face. But why was he looking like that? Why was he being so nice to someone he had just met? Why had he chosen him?Michael could have picked stronger students.

"Are you asking why?"

Aserah should have expected Michael to read his mind. He didn't really like it, but he didn't say anything. It didn't make sense for him to say anything.

"Because you needed help. Maybe I could have students who are more powerful and talented, but what's the point? Their power is limited only by their potential. Only someone who trusts in the power of their emotions can be my student."

Michael's words made Aserah see something she didn't see in herself.The power of emotions... Yes. No matter how much he wanted to hide it, Michael had realized it.Aserah had come this far with only the emotions born of his suffering.

"Open your heart to growth, Aserah. This world is open to change, and you can change too. You can become stronger."

"Why are you telling me this? What's in it for you?"

With Aserah's last words, Michael lost himself in thought and looked up at the moon rising in the darkness of the night. He took a deep breath and let it be known that he had lived for hundreds of years. Just that look was enough for that.

"I don't know... I don't really need a student. I guess... I just wanted you to get to a better place and maybe a little because I'm lonely."

Michael's every word went to Aserah's heart and thawed his icy body.Finally, Aserah was able to put his arm around Michael.He didn't know how he did it, but his body moved on its own, and I think he accepted Michael. For the first time, he felt hope for the future, and for the first time, he felt cared about. Michael was the first person to accept him, and in his heart, Michael was like a father to him.

Aserah could only say two words in response;

"Thank you."
