"As for me, I'm a rather idle person. I really hate bringing students along and talking this and that with them, so I haven't been a mentor for many years."
"But, you see, there's a rule in this organization that if an Apprentice Death God hasn't taken on a disciple for ten years, their mentor qualification will be revoked, and their benefits... will be significantly reduced."
"So I just randomly found someone—Mad Spirit, and took on a nominal mentor's position with him, thinking I'd just muddle through, and once he got through the internship period, I could continue my leisurely days."
"But he ended up dying at your hands. That's why I found you, hoping you could replace him. That's my purpose for being here."
As he spoke, Jing took a sip of tea and smiled at Yun You, asking softly...
"I wonder if you're interested in becoming my student and an Apprentice Death God?"
...
The sudden invitation left Yun You a bit bewildered.
