Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 615 Master and Disciple
For over a decade, the system's taskbar has been stuck at 'Newbie quest exploration in progress...'.

Based on the subsequent three mission discoveries, Yaro vaguely came to a conjecture:
"Just like the radar in the past was interfered with by electromagnetic interference, the system's 'eyes' may be malfunctioning."

Actually, it's quite normal to think about it from another perspective, since the world doesn't match.

Perhaps the pervasive void magic is all 'interference electromagnetic' to the system, which is why it needs to rely on mental power to perceive the outside world.

As for a martial arts system that doesn't have a "spiritual power" attribute, there are two possibilities as to why it can utilize spiritual power.

The first possibility is that when Yaro cultivated his spiritual power according to the wizard's method, the part of his consciousness that existed in the system space may have also generated spiritual power, and this spiritual power became the system's eyes.

The second possibility is that the consciousness space of the system did not generate mental power, but rather perceived the outside world through Yaro's own mental power. However, although the system's perception of the outside world is based on Yaro himself, it is also higher than Yaro, so it perceived the 'mission'.

"But no matter which possibility it is, it proves once again that the level of the martial arts system is not high."

The thought only flashed through Yaro's mind and did not affect his mood.

Regardless of how high the level of the martial arts system itself is, its various functions are still quite useful.

The current problem is simply how to acquire more skill points.

And now, there is a task that doesn't seem difficult to complete.

"Do you take on apprentices...?"

Yaro glanced at Bevin, who was tidying up his clothes beside him.

In a way, isn't Bevan his own apprentice?
Can he help me complete this task?

After considering the matter carefully and finding no potential problems, Yaro casually asked:
"Bevin, would you like to become my apprentice?"

"Apprenticeship?"

Bevan looked up at him, his face full of confusion:
"You mean, you want me to call you Master, like Dorothea and the others do?"

"Of course it's not that simple."

Yarrow explained:
“The ‘shi’ in ‘shi’ means teacher, and the ‘fu’ means to tutor or instruct.”

"The meaning comes from 'Among three people walking together, there must be one who can be my teacher,' which means that among many people, there is someone who can be my teacher. It has the same meaning as 'teacher,' but it is more respectful and is a term of honor."

“Just like the old farmer by the roadside, we can call him Master, because his farming skills are definitely better than ours.”

An old farmer?

Farming skills?
Hearing Yaro's self-comparison, Bevin felt a strange emotion rising within him.

With such lowly farming skills, how can one be worthy of the same honorific title as Teacher Yaro?

What is this?
Instead of feeling ashamed, they take pride in it?
Although Bevin didn't think that way, that's how his emotions were stirred up, because in the education he received since childhood, farming was a lowly thing, something that serfs did.

However, Bevin is young and malleable, and having lived in Perrin Estate before, some of his friends were servants on the estate, so his contempt for serfs is not firmly established.

Upon discovering a conflict between the education she had received and her teacher's words, Bevin immediately assumed she was wrong and forcibly suppressed her unusual emotions.

Unaware of Bevan's thoughts, Yaro continued:
"But if you become my disciple, then you will have to call me Master from now on."

Teacher (師), the shi in teacher; father (父), the fu in father.

Father and son pass on blood ties, master and apprentice pass on spirit.

A master is a teacher who is like a father; it is a specific term, just like a father, and one can only have one in a lifetime.

"Of course, I won't only take you as my apprentice in the future, just like a father doesn't necessarily only have one son..."

After explaining the responsibilities and obligations between master and apprentice, Yarrow asked:

"Now, are you still willing to become my disciple?"

Bevin roughly understood.

The master and the godfather are similar.

But if we're really talking about the so-called 'spirit of inheritance,' aren't he and Heli practically the teacher's 'disciples'?

The teacher wants to give this relationship, which is closer than that between teachers and students, a separate name?

Thinking about what the teacher has always said about promoting martial arts, and thinking about what the teacher has done during this period.

Bevin understood.

If the name is not correct, the words will not ring true.

The reason why Master Yaro named this relationship separately is that he hopes that the future spread of martial arts will not be limited to family bloodlines like the way knights train. Therefore, he proposed the "spirit of inheritance" which is different from "bloodline inheritance"!
“Teacher, I do.” Bevan nodded solemnly.

Yaro glanced at the mission.

—Incomplete.

"Are there any issues that haven't been clarified?"

"A verbal agreement isn't enough? Is a formal apprenticeship ceremony required?"

"Or perhaps, to complete the mission, one needs to release their mental energy, just like triggering a mission?"

Many thoughts flashed through Yaro's mind.

"Master... what's wrong?"

"Oh it's all right."

Yaro snapped out of his daze and started thinking of an excuse to get Bevin to become his apprentice again.

"Very good, hmm..."

Yaro came up with an excuse.

“Becoming an apprentice is a very serious matter. You are not yet an adult, so your agreement is not enough. You still need to discuss it with your father. Only when your family agrees can you become an apprentice.”

“My father certainly wouldn’t refuse.”

Bevin was full of confidence.

"Hopefully."

Hopefully, this apprenticeship task... won't go wrong again.

……

In the vast sky, a light and elegant glider rides the breeze and weaves through the loose clouds.

Exclamations could be heard intermittently from inside the cabin.

"Master! Look, that white cloud looks like a rabbit!"

"Master! There's a flock of geese following us!"

"Master! Are those deer down there? They look like ants!"

……

Whether it was just to call out "Master" or because the scenery in the sky was too novel, Bevan pointed out every scene that passed by.

However, even Bevin's excitement had its limits. After about an hour, the hang glider gradually quieted down.

Yaro glanced back casually and saw Bevan huddled in the small, newly created space behind him, his face pale and his lips tightly pressed together. Although he was asleep, he looked very uncomfortable.

"Afraid of heights, or airsickness?"

Yaro didn't know.

However, he knew that neither fear of heights nor motion sickness could happen in a short time.

In other words, Bevan's excitement just now was probably to prevent himself from noticing his unusual behavior.

A complex emotion welled up in Yaro's heart.

Master and Apprentice...

Whether Yaro initially took Bevan as a student or now takes him as an apprentice, his motivation was always self-interest. However, after hearing Bevan call him "Master" again and again, his heart was stirred with a few more waves.

Father and son pass on blood ties, master and apprentice pass on spirit.

As for bloodlines, Yaro has two lives, a past life and a present life, with different bloodlines, so it's hard to know how to talk about bloodlines.

But in terms of spirit, what difference is there between the disciples he has taken in this life and those he took in his previous life?

This peace of mind is my hometown.

Although Bevin has not yet formally become an apprentice, Yaro has already found an anchor and gained a greater sense of belonging to the world in this life.

He quietly shut down the glider's power core and instead used his dragon-like movements to control the wind direction for propulsion.
