"Monster's Son": "I" worshipped a teacher in another world

The grown-ups keep yelling and want them to disappear, but I'm just a little kid who can't even take care of myself, I miss my mother so much, I'll never see her again, hate, hate all this, let me disappear Well... I ran desperately, broke into a foreign land, and met a bear, no, a monster.

Are there any monsters who force others to be his disciples? Maybe his relationship is too bad, and he can't find an apprentice in the demon world. Oh, he fights and no one cheers for him. He fights alone, as lonely as I am, but he is so strong, and I want to be stronger too.

But whoever wants to be his apprentice shouts at every turn, jumps with rage if he can't tell where his moves come from, has no patience at all, and likes to be competitive. I'm a child, I haven't taken a sword or practiced martial arts. How to know what to do? A terrible master, I didn't like him, so I fought against him. But I'm too weak, I can't even be bullied by the little monster, I haven't forgotten, I want to become stronger. Since he doesn't know how to teach, I can only steal the teacher, imitate and practice from his every move, I don't know how long it takes, and I suddenly find out, eh? This trick works.

Travel around and pay homage to the master. They were all strange, not at all the mature, dignified and dignified appearance I imagined. Master wasn't interested in them, but I was full of curiosity. The path to becoming a master is completely different. The key is to find the meaning of your inner identity. What is that? I don't quite understand it, but after listening to the words of those masters, I seem to understand a little bit.

Sometimes I miss the original world and my mother, but I know that there is no one I can rely on. I said that I have to survive on my own, but those adults said that I was just a child and couldn't support myself. I have no way out. Although practicing martial arts is very hard, I will never give up. Besides, there are two friends of Master who have been encouraging me all the time. Occasionally, I wonder why the demon world doesn't accept human beings, do I have what they call the dark side of human beings, do I know nothing about myself?

My stature is getting taller and taller. Every day, I learn from my master about everything big and small. I compete with him. He also learns from me what he doesn't understand. A lot, I did get stronger too. In the midst of the clamor, several years have passed, and some things have happened, I want to leave the master and be an ordinary person, but... why do I always remember the scene when I was with the master, what would he do, what would he do? Woolen cloth.

I can't just leave him so quietly, I stand behind him, just like before, shouting for him, he is so strong, stronger than before, he is not allowed to lose. The two of us "worked together" to complete the battle. This is his glory, but...

It all happened so fast, no, yes, forgiveness, forgiveness. My anger, my pain, the familiar despair and darkness from many years ago engulfed me, why, why is it like this. Killing intent, hatred, and destruction, I don't care anymore. Human beings are very dark and impulsive. If they are taken away, I will repay them. Just, fortunately, fortunately.

I am no longer that weak nine-year-old child, I want to take on something, I have to do something for Master, for the demon world, and get rid of my inner demons for myself. I'm going to find the man who hurt us, fight him, and risk my life.

Unexpectedly, Master, he... It turned out that he did more for me than me. He once said that the sword is in my heart, yes, he finally made me understand this sentence. The fiery lightsaber in my heart condenses all his words to me. I no longer fear the black hole in my heart. The sword in my heart can smooth and remove all haze.

I did not worship the wrong master. I am proud of him. Was he waiting for something when he first recognized me as his disciple? He has made me a stronger me, and I know he has become a stronger himself too.

I will live better and harder, do things, be a normal person, and be who I want to be.

The Boy and the Beast quotes

  • Kaede: You know what? I've been asking myself something. "Why am I holding Ren's hand and running away with him? Here I am, scared to death, so why am I doing it? Then I remembered something. How incredibly happy I was when we first met and we started studying together. I mean, there's nobody else who enjoys studying as much as you. When I'm with you, it gives me the courage to keep going too. And right now, it's the same. Ren, if you're going to fight, then I'm staying with you. Don't forget, neither of us is ever fighting alone.

  • Kaede: Everyone of us carries that darkness equally. Ren carries it, and so do I. But I'm still struggling as hard as I can, even now. That's why there's no way Ren can lose to you who were so easily swallowed by the darkness. There's no way we're going to lose!
