Nightmare Mythos

Chapter 147: Not Seeing The Big Picture

Cesar glanced at the clock and saw that a measly few minutes were left till the end of their class yet not only did his instructor not even once talk to him but he also didn't give a single glance at him.

Cesar didn't understand if his instructor had to focus on his job that his presence should be put solely on his work or because he didn't care about him at all.

And as the hour was almost passing through their allotted time in their class, Cesar began to think it was the latter concluded thought.

"Instructor Han?"

Tang—!

Finally as if to commend that Cesar has been patient all this time even though he was on the verge of breaking out, the blacksmith Han, spared him a glance before bringing down his hammer.

"I don't see any interest in your eyes,"

The way he uttered those words in the most disinterested tone possible made Cesar irked for some reason. It was because whatever Han was thinking to comment was true.

The description of the class in the document regarding the Kanto Blacksmith has already been put there. Unlike the rest who wanted their class to be introduced right in his face, only this course has everything pretty laid out.

That's why Cesar was able to discover that no combat practice would happen in this class, which probably appeared in his eyes that he wasn't interested in his lesson.

The question was how.

'I don't usually make faces until something was already been said. That means he had already seen that I didn't take an interest in this class... But so far, he didn't give me any look after stating that. So how was he able to discern?'

Suddenly Cesar came into a thought.

'Wait, why am I thinking about this in the first place? He wasted my time because of his pride and stubbornly waited for the class at the end just to say it!'

Cesar couldn't help but widen his eyes upon realizing that he was dealing with the real deal.

The once prominent family alongside with Casanova and Yarrow family of the Hunter's Association was right on his very front in the flesh.

"You made a deal with Arnold? Someone... like you?"

Seeing the visible surprise from Cesar, Han nodded before answering, "So sorry not sorry, I guess? Every Monday, you can come in here if you want but I will never teach someone my techniques who isn't family. Well, close ties with us will be considered but you aren't,"

'What a bummer,'

Cesar felt that this was a wasted opportunity. By the looks of it, convincing Han will not work as he looks like a stubborn person like him.

There's no way he would want to strike a deal as well.

'He would not teach me if I wasn't family. Yeah, there's no way I would marry someone from them. So I can consider the people they had a very friendly relationship with them...'

Suddenly, a thought passed through Cesar's head.

'What if I marry Jacqueline? She's a Casanova and probably her family is friendly with Langston,'

Imagining Jacqueline as a wife, a beautiful partner, and walking through the aisle coming towards him wearing a white dress, Cesar had to violently shake his head feeling his face burning up.

'What the... W-what did I just think?'

Han slightly tilted his head before seeing Cesar had an exasperated expression as he left his workplace before seeing his back leaving the workshop itself.

"Weirdo,"

Han brought his attention back to his work before he continued hammering his hammer down to the metal atop of the anvil.
