"Huh? Immortal?", Aliya didn't quite get it, "How? Is that possible? Even we, the Gods, can't obtain Immortality."
Elihim smiled while Rin tilted his head down because of shame. Rin didn't speak or hint to stop Elihom from talking. He didn't know maybe because Elihim was one of the major cause that je change or that Rin believed that his master was smarter than he is and every decision he make is always better but either way, Rin trust his master to the point that he would let Elihim do what ever he want.
"Nathan got his death through the contract.", Elihim said without further explaining it because he knew that Aliya would know this since she knew what the Contract Nathan have.
'That explains pretty much everything. How this kid killed a God when he's so weak and why Elihim didn't want to throw him into the Gatespace. Actually, I too want a disciple who's immortal...', Aliya stared at Rin while pondering.
"Don't think that I made him my disciple since he's an immortal.", Elihim butted in Aliya's thought as if he knew what she's thinking.
When Rin heard that, he was shocked and stared at Elihim. He never even thought it like that. Before he could even start doubting, Elihim already made it clear. Actually, Rin really doesn't care about the reason he was chosen as a disciple but still, that made him feel much better.
Elihim glanced at him and smiled, "Everything and its exact opposites are at the both sides of the same coin."
Nobody was weak but everybody has both a weakness and a strength. A person who is considered weak may just to know its strength and made the person turned weak for rest of its life
That was what Elihim was trying to convey but it is up to Rin if he could get it.
"Okay!", Aliya shouted purposively, "I'm not going to tell anyone. Since no God can enter this world because of the limit, I think it's safe that you train without hiding your Mark of the Godslayer so that it would help you."
Rin smiled, it seemed that his master successfully persuaded Aliya
"But.."
"But?", Rin followed and became somewhat worried.
"After a month and you still haven't reach the Second Stage of Focus then I have no choice but to report this to them.", Aliya closed her eyes. She knew that her demand is a bit impossible but Elihim put too much confidence in this kid that she said that.
"Okay.", Elihim agreed without hesitation.
Aliya couldn't hide her surprise. She glared at Elihim while the far surrounding's darkness vanished like it was being absorbed by Aliya's shadow. When everything was clear again. The black sun was gone and the sunset can be see, she said, "If you're that confident then let's meet again after a month.", when the remaining darkness nearby was swallowed by Aliya's shadow, her body just disappeared without any warning or sound.
"What kind of a God of War is that?", Elihim raised his eyebrow.
"Why? Is there something wrong with her?", Rin looked Elihim.
"With her strength, she could just snatch you and bring you into the Gatespace without you even noticing it but she didn't, I bet she's hesitating. She's too kind to be a God of War."
"Ah.", Rin suddenly thought better about Aliya, "But Master, what is this Gatespace?"
Elihim walked, "It is the entrance of this world from any other worlds. Every world has it.", then Elihim stopped, "Okay, tomorrow, that ring will restrict your body more so early in the morning you have to adapt to it so that your movement wouldn't be too awkward when you go to school."
Rin nodded and then Elihim's body faded into nothingness.
Rin stopped and realized that he is already in front of his home. He then looked at his hand and saw his smartphone, he was surprised that he didn't release his grip even when he was meditating or when his left arm got suddenly stabbed.
'Do I hold this very important that…', Rin entered the gate and entered his house after unlocking it.
He immediately went into the bath and after that, he cooked something by searching at his phone for some procedures online…
Rin burped after he ate, he was currently sitting in the living room. He then realized a predicament while he hold his phone, planning to call Dana.
'Master said I should sleep early but what do I tell Dana? I can't tell her the reason why I should wake up early.', he thought while his phone was ringing. Rin didn't realized that he already contacted her, 'I'm sorry, Master, I didn't control myself."
"Hello?", after just a few ring, Dana picked it up.
"Ah, sorry that I just called right now."
"Don't worry…"
…
They continued for four hours flirting.
Midnight...
"We should probably sleep now since we have school tomorrow.", Rin reluctantly said. He have been finding this chance to tell this but he couldn't deny that it was because he too was enjoying it that he failed many times to say this.
"Ah… ok, goodnight!", Dana didn't say anything but submissively said goodnight to Rin.
Rin held his chest that was in pain when he heard Dana's tone of voice, he replied, "Goodnight.", he then hung up.
…
"Ah…", Rin jumped into his bed, thinking all sorts of things. He is now at the First Stage of Focus which he only vaguely understood what it is but he knew that he had become stronger. Inside his chest, there was still tickling him with excitement.
'I can manipulate Natural Energy now without suffering.', Rin thought. At the moment, he wanted to face Dragger again and see how the fight will go. However, as his thought lead him to his worries:
What would happen tomorrow? Am I going to be responsible for all the Devils will do from now on? Can I really stop them? His thoughts spiraled onto these three questions. Before he fell asleep, he thought, 'After one month... huh...'
