155. Be Disciple!

Ryu is a child from a small village on the outskirts of the city, he grew up healthy because his parents had enough financial conditions. He lived in the village until he was ten years old. Ryu has a different body condition, at a certain moment or in some time his body turns into water suddenly without him noticing.

This made him have no friends since childhood and grew up as a loner. The condition of his body also made him considered a monster for the entire village. Even so Ryu grows regardless of the abuse and humiliation he receives. He grew up healthy, much healthier than a child his age.

Ryu's life changes after his village is hit by an attack from a black group. Ryu is the only survivor of the tragedy. He made his way to nearby villages and towns for help but after two days of non-stop walking exhausted himself.

After all, he was just a ten-year-old boy. His condition left him severely starved and limp after not getting food for two days. His face was pale and cold sweat poured out slowly from his body.

Ryu also realizes that during these two days he was just circling the same area in a forest border between his village and a nearby town. He was lost in a very dark forest.

Other than not getting results after walking, Ryu can only sit in prayer expecting a miracle to come. As if a fantasy fairy tale story, after praying, Ryu met someone there.

That person was shocked to see Ryu being in an extremely desolate and dangerous forest like this alone. That person noticed Ryu once more, Ryu's extremely apprehensive condition made him unable to bear to help him. Ryu had several injuries to his hands and feet as he tried to flee the village when the attack occurred.

That person was none other than a warrior, however, the energy he released was very large even though Ryu could not see the radiance of the energy hang out from his body but Ryu knew it after the wound was healed easily in a relatively very short time. Ryu thanked and prostrated himself to the swordsman. The swordsman just kept quiet and smiled looking at Ryu's sincerity, making his heart knock.

“Previously introduce my name is Secret Akio, but everyone calls me Prince Element. I saw you alone in this forest, and it reminded me of one of my close friends. Your current situation makes me remember it. If you know what your name is, son? and how come you're in this forest all by yourself?"

“Do you want to be my student?” instantly an offer ejected from Secret Akio's mouth made Ryu pause for a moment.

Ryu looked at the swordsman doubtfully, although he was still a child but his parents had taught him to remain wary of all the new people he knew. His heart was a little worried, Ryu felt that the swordsman before him did not have bad intentions for him but still Ryu was a person who obeyed the orders and advice given by his parents.

“I am just a useless and weak child. I don't want to trouble the swordsman for raising me to be a disciple.” Ryu said still in his bow.

“As I thought, you still have doubts about your heart's choice. Well you can decide later, come with me to the nearest city, there you can restore your condition first and decide your next decision.” Ryu was surprised by the swordsman's words, he did not expect

“Thank you swordsman, I won't trouble you”

Later on arriving in the city, Ryu chooses to become a student of Secret Akio after realizing his relatives who live there also do not accept and accommodate him.

From then on Ryu officially became a disciple of one of the Secret God vice-chairmen. Ryu grew to become one of the young warriors with a strength that greatly exceeded the other members in just a few years.
