'Ding'
[ The system advises the host to accept the condition ]
"…"
'Wha-'
Shin was completely surprised by the ssage that the system showed to him.
While he was thinking about declining it by going over it rationally, the system demanded him to do sothing else entirely.
Of course, it wasn't an order, it was just advice, but that was more than enough to make him think twice before presenting his answer.
'Did the system just advice that?', he kept asking himself that.
He was sowhat confident in refusing the offer or deal earlier because Terran too thought the sa, unfortunately, he had to doubt himself again due to the system.
He had no idea about the reason due to which the system was giving such a piece of unreasonable advice.
'What's wrong with the system?', Shin had a weird expression on his face.
The tiger cub, who was expecting an answer, waited a bit more as if it was letting Shin think.
Terran was shocked.
'What is there to think master?'
'She clearly wants to leave us when we fall in so big trouble…', was what Terran concluded and that was his reason for rejecting her offer.
"…"
"I…"
'Don't tell , master, you are going to accept her request because of kindness and sympathy…', Terran seed a bit frustrated.
All this ti, his guessing, wanting, and happening had been way different.
It was as if his guesses were way too wrong and everything happened the other way round.
Though, he couldn't help it because he was not the one that was orchestrating the situation.
While Shin was taking more ti to decide because of confusion, the system displayed another notification.
'Ding'
[ You are being watched ]
The mont this notification popped up, Shin finally realized what the system exactly ant or wanted Shin to do.
'The one who is watching is against the thought of rejecting her offer…, is that why you displayed that text?'
He was definitely not an idiot and could finally understand the system's actual goal.
The system didn't care if Shin's power increased because of numbers or anything else at the mont, it cared for his safety because of this supernatural entity that the system had been detecting for a long ti.
The system sohow detected the fact that the being didn't want Shin to reject the condition and that was why showing such a ssage.
*gulp*
'I think it's better to accept her condition…'
Shin could always change his decision later and could actually expel her, at least, after the being that was watching him go away.
But could he really do that? Would he really be able to throw away soone who closely behaved like Aella of the past?
That would be interesting to see because seeing his personality which had changed drastically, he wouldn't be doing sothing so horrible to a baby tiger.
"Fine, I accept your condition.", he said this after taking a deep breath as if he cared not about the consequences of doing that.
If the current situation could be passed with everyone being safe, only then would anyone be able to think about the future.
That was why, Shin took this decision and accepted the system's advice with open arms, and did what was wise.
Terran, no matter how smart of a dragon he was, failed to realize Shin's thinking.
He eventually gave up and thought about asking Shin directly, later of course.
"Thank you, master!", the cub imdiately smiled and bowed in front of Shin.
"Huh?"
"Master?"
Shin was surprised from seeing the cub call him that.
"How did you-"
He was about to ask the source from which she learned that word when suddenly he recalled that Terran had been calling him master for a long ti.
Young animals or babies are fast learners. In fact, their brain is considered to be like a blank CD that can accept any and all knowledge.
So learning to call him master was no surprise, and this was to be expected from a beast of such caliber.
"Did I do a mistake?"
"Should I stop calling you master?", the cub asked with teary eyes.
Her eyes seed sparkly which completely chard Shin and Terran who had almost no special attraction towards her.
Getting attracted to a baby was far by one of the most normal things so it wasn't much to consider.
"No."
"You can just call master, but my actual na is Shin."
Shin thought that it was best to let her know if his na to avoid future confusion.
"Shin?"
"Master Shin?"
She said in a low voice.
"Huh? N-"
Both Shin and Terran were about to tell her not to pronounce his na directly, just when she ended up calling his na.
The side-effects or the punishnt of that had to arrive soon, but it never ca.
No thundering, no fast-moving wind, and no change in atmosphere.
Everything seed normal and was the sa way as earlier.
"What the-"
Both of them were surprised by this because calling soone's na should give them a shock or so sort of punishnt, however, at the mont, the cub literally called out his na and there was no reaction at all.
'Wait…'
'Is this the silence before a storm?', Shin posed this question, however, that was not the case.
"Hey, you cant call him with his na directly!", Terran exclaid.
"I can't call him Shin?"
"…"
*silence*
There was indeed no effect on her.
After being surprised, Terran thought of calling Shin with his na too to see if he was fine too.
"Shi-"
'ZZDZ'
'Boom'
Even before he could completely call out his na, a thunder struck right on Terran.
He ended up getting covered by black-colored smoke which started to co out of his body.
"This…"
"Is not fair…", while saying this he beca unconscious yet again.
"Sigh, did you really have to go and try that?"
Although Shin found out that there were no changes in laws and rules, he was still surprised to see the cub call his na.
"Alright, I won't call him Shin, I will call him master too.", was what the cub said.
"Yes…", Shin nodded his head, but what happened a few seconds ago seed like a mystery.
Shin was astonished by that and wanted to know why the cub was able to call his na.
'System, do you perhaps know the reason?', Shin wanted to see if the system knew sothing about it.
'Ding'
[ Affirmative ]
'Huh? You know?!', Shin was genuinely surprised to see the notification.
[ Affirmative ]
'Then, what is the reason? Why is she able to call by my na?', Shin asked.
'Ding'
[ It is due to the presence of a being that is stronger than natural law or has a say in the natural law ]
'Huh?'
Shin failed to understand what that ant.
'A being stronger than natural law?'
Thankfully he had a system that was ready to explain everything in detail to him.
[ Affirmative ]
[ The presence of a Celestial has caused the thundering to subside ]
The mont Shin read that, he was finally sure about the topic which the system was trying to explain.
'The presence of a Celestial' and 'You are being watched' – both of these statents were linked and Shin finally figured it out.
When the cub called out his na to him, he found it weird but at the sa ti, strangely familiar.
It was as if he had heard soone else call his na in a similar manner, though, he wasn't aware of who it was.
Only after he finally understood what the system actually ant, he realized that the Elf Celestial was fine when it had called Shin with his na.
Indeed, the Elf Celestial wasn't affected by anything despite the fact that it called his na.
This ant that a celestial was watching over the tiger cub and it was the sa beast that was preventing any thundering or shocks.
The cub was fine thanks to that Celestial – after realizing this, Shin understood that he was in much bigger trouble.
'I have no idea what those freaking Celestial are thinking…'
'They literally hold the absolute power in this world, however, they refuse to help anyone…'
He kind of started to get angry.
The cub was badly beaten up and the Celestial, who was supposedly protecting the cub, did nothing!
'Tsk…'
'There goes my mood!'
"…"
