Rise of The Anti God (Web Novel)

After the class was over, all the children dispersed, and Blake greeted Damien on his way out.

”Seems like I was a bit late. I heard that your teaching was marvelous enough not to make alchemy boring for the kids. ” Blake said in an appreciative tone as his lips arched.

Damien noticed that Blake seemed more receptive to him. He said with a slight smile, ”Well, I can teach things I know best. Alchemy just happened to be my cup of tea. By the way, were most of the kids born here? ”

The two started walking as Blake answered, ”Not most. Some of them were born here without experiencing much of the outside world while the rest were kids we rescued from the clutches of the Xetonians. ”

He looked at the kids and continued, ”Among the ones we rescued, not all of them were this happy. They all came here devoid of all hope and carrying only pain and resentment. Only after a few months did Shania and some others manage to give them hope again and make them feel safe. Otherwise, they would have only got worse. And now that you are here as well, I am sure with your teaching; they can at least grow up to be someone they dream of. ”

Damien could understand why most of them would have lost all hopes as they had to cripple their own cultivations to get rid of the seal. He was sure that some wouldn ’t even feel like living anymore after such a traumatic experience.

When Triton first asked him to teach the children, he wondered why even the crippled ones would want to learn. Especially something like alchemy that requires cultivation to concoct pills.
