Chapter 106: The Esper Clans of Alpha City
"There’s no need," Kaizer said almost immediately, shaking his head.
Dean Rochester was still solemn. "Are you sure? I will not conceal anything at all."
"I trust you, Dean," Kaizer said with a nod.
Dean Rochester understood. It was not that Kaizer trusted him, but that the young man was choosing to trust him because he believed that their connection was not so shallow as to make him gamble with Kaizer’s life.
Dean Rochester sighed deeply. "I will not let you down, Kaizer."
Kaizer did not say anything, and the Dean did not mind. He was not the type of basic instructor who demanded that his wards show him utter deference as if he were a military instructor.
After years of nurturing countless batches of students, and even raising a troublemaker into a pillar of society, the Dean had fundamentally understood that the responsibility between instructor and instructee was equivalent.
The same amount of respect you demanded from your pupil should be reciprocated, the same amount of openness, honesty, and sincerity you expected from them should also be given them.
That being said, he was definitely furious with those blasted clans and how they had almost formed a rift between him and his student. It was just his luck that Kaizer was more mature for his age and could analyze things with a calmer and rational mind, allowing him to make the right choice.
"Can you tell me about those esper clans and why they have so much power?" Kaizer requested straightforwardly.
Dean Rochester calmed his fury and nodded. "Of course, knowledge is power. Know thyself and thy enemies, and you can win a hundred battles. On top of that, you can definitely be sure that after those attacks, the esper clans are your enemies. Well, at least most of them are."
