Marco's eyes widened in stunned silence. The young shamans behind him were no different. Elira and Cinderela stared at Daniel in disbelief, clearly shaken by what they had just heard.
"Do you even understand what you just said, Daniel?" Molex asked, his voice filled with seriousness.
Daniel gave a slow nod, his eyes avoiding Molex's gaze. "Hmm… I know."
A brief silence settled over the training ground.
Alucard's lips curled into a faint smile. Clearly, this was not the outcome he had expected — but he certainly wasn't going to complain.
Marco's eyes slowly drifted toward Daniel until their gazes met.
Neither of them spoke.
Yet in that single stare, countless unspoken questions passed between them.
Why, Daniel? Why would you accept this?
Do you really think I'm a worthless teacher?
The questions echoed through Marco's mind, but not a single word escaped his lips.
