Chapter 50 - Questions Of Medivh (2)

After his words, all the slaves who had spoken before and said different things, were silent and began to watch his progress, in a sudden silence. Medivh's speech was very unusual for them. After all, to them, Medivh was probably the snobbish son of a rich man, and in the eyes of this rich snob, they were nothing but worthless slaves. But when Medivh spoke, he referred to the person as "senior" and instead of talking to them with arrogance, as the rich usually do, he simply admonished the other person by humbling himself in his speech. This was not the kind of behavior of a rich man's snobbish son, or even the kind of behavior that a rich man would do to them. So their view of Medivh changed instantly and they began to wonder what he came here for.

Soon after, Medivh and Baran arrived in front of the cell where Bias Gerz, a cellmate of Asil, and Asil was staying. When they arrived in front of the cell, Asil and Bias Gerz looked carefully at Medivh and began to wait in silence for him to speak. But that silence was broken by Baran's sudden speech:

"Slave Asil, your new Master has come to take you. Kowtow now and swear your allegiance to your master."

Asil, who instantly became the focus of the bewildered gaze of the other slaves after Baran's words, did not prostrate and swear for his devotion, and unexpectedly stared toward Medivh without saying anything.

After Asil failed to do what he was told, Baran became angry and went straight in after opening the entrance to the cell. He stroked the ring on his left hand in no time after entering, and suddenly an iron bat appeared in his hand. Baran raised his left arm up and hurtled the Iron bat relentlessly towards the Asil, who did not do what he said.

In the face of Baran's sudden move, Asil did not move and continued to look at Medivh. While other people thought Asil had not reacted, they couldn't understand why. In fact, the reason Asil looked carefully at Medivh without reacting was not that he was thinking about what he would do by buying himself or because he froze in fear because of Baran's sudden attack. This was because of Sirius. Rather, Sirius said to Asil when he felt Medivh, he said: "Hey Brat, watch out for this scarlet-wearing brat! He's like you! He's one of the chosen ones! Besides, he is one of the Chosen Ones who are more powerful when compared to you" 

Although Medivh and Asil could not feel that each other had been Chosen Ones, Sirius was capable of feeling it and had warned his student in advance of the possibility that he might pose a danger to him.

With Baran's attack about twenty centimeters closer to Asil's head, Medivh smiled slightly and took a step forward. While Baran's bat was twenty centimeters away from Asil, other people thought that he was going to take a heavy blow, but what they thought had not happened unexpectedly. Stepping forward from outside the cell, Medivh unexpectedly came to Baran's side and, extending his left hand he held Baran's left wrist. Medivh's movement was so fast that the people around couldn't even react.

After he grabbed his wrist, Baran furiously turned his head towards and looked at Medivh, spoke in an angry and loudly: "What does this mean? This slave disobeyed my command, and I, as his owner, will punish this worthless slave. Why are you getting involved in this?"

After Baran's speech, Medivh looked at him slowly and calmly replied; "So that's what you think. I understand, but you're wrong. The person you're attacking does not belong to you or here. I paid your father, the Chief Manager, to get him out of here before we got here. So the person you're trying to attack is someone indirectly connected to me. And I do not like people around me being harmed for no reason by impertinent people. So either you learn to control yourself, or I'll teach you."

After speaking calmly, Medivh unleashed the profound aura from his body which is in the second level of the Nascent profound realm. When he unleashed his aura, the words Baran would normally say were knotted in his throat, and his left hand, holding the iron bat he used to attack the Asil unconsciously loosened.

When Baran's hand loosened and dropped the iron bat he was holding, Medivh loosened his hand, which was holding Baran's wrist, and turned to the Asil and spoke: "Hello. My Name Is Medivh. May I learn yours?"

Asil looked carefully at Medivh and, clenching his fists with one another, after thanking him for his previous help, answered Medivh's question: "My name is Asil. Asil Mirza. May I ask why you would want to buy a slave like me who cannot even win fights?"

After Asil's question, Medivh laughed lightly and spoke: "So you are someone who can't even win fights, hehe. Let's get this clear first. I did not buy you. I was just interested in the fight today, and I came to chat with you. If I'm satisfied at the end of my conversation, I'll get you out of here and give you your freedom. If I'm not happy, I'll talk to the Chief Manager and tell him I desist from taking you. That's the situation right now."

The words that Medivh said like it was nothing caused an instant fuss among the people who stayed in the cells. After all, he had said that he had come to speak with Asil and would give him his freedom if he was satisfied with the conversation. For the slaves here, freedom was like a dream that could hardly be achieved, and after Medivh's speech, many wanted to be in Asil's place.

After Medivh's words, Asil remained silent for a while and looked at Medivh. Medivh did not say anything during this time and he looked at Asil and calmly waited for him to start talking.

This silence did not last for a long time, and Asil soon spoke cautiously: "What do you want to talk to me about? If there's anything you want from me or anything I can help you with, I'll do what I can."

"I don't really want anything from you. I want to ask you a few questions. Think carefully about what I'm going to ask, and answer as you please. That's all I want from you."

Asil approved with his head and signaled Medivh to ask his questions.

Following Asil's reaction, Medivh smiled and calmly asked his first question: "What do you think about me?"

When Medivh asked his first question, strange expressions appeared on the faces of the people in the cells and Baran. Everybody simultaneously thought "Is that the question he wanted to ask? Is this kid dumb?"

But this was completely different for Asil. He felt that this question was not a simple question and that it meant something to this young man who asked this question. Asil thought for a while, and then answered Medivh's first question: "I think you are someone who grew up under pressure."

Following Asil's brief reply, Medivh kept quiet for a short time and looked at him, and then spoke curiously in a calm tone: "Why do you think like that? Under what kind of pressure that I have grown up under?"

Asil wasted no time and immediately explained why he had given this answer: "You are clearly a very rich person. Giving money to buy me before you come here and actually doing it just to talk to me proves that. The family of such a rich person is naturally rich. You also said you saw me in my fight today. If someone so rich comes to Kastor and watches a fight, he should definitely be watching it in the special section. In the end, such a wealthy family has its own unique glory, and this family is opposed to one of its members watching the fight in the regular section. I always look at people sitting in the special section when I go to fights, but you weren't sitting there today. This leads me to conclude that your parents didn't know you were here.

"And even though you were very rich, there was no condescending expression on your face when you entered this hall, and before you entered this cell you spoke to someone else who was staying here without condescending to him. You even treated him with respect by calling him "Senior" when you spoke to him. In my opinion, in such a wealthy family, someone like you is welcomed differently and pressured by other members of the family to stop such behavior. That's why I thought you grew up under pressure. After my thought, you could tell me that maybe my family could be unexpectedly good people like me and that I might not have grown up under pressure. If you have such an opinion, I would like to remind you that you came here alone."

"If your parents were nice people like you, they would definitely be famous in the city, and I've never heard of a family like that, even though I've been in this city for a little over three months. So the only possibility is that you come here from another city. If that's the case and your family is as good as you are, then you should have a lot of family members come to this city with you. But you came here alone, and the officer who came with you tried to attack me by ignoring your presence. Naturally, I don't think your family members come here and naturally talk to the Chief Manager and tell his son, Baran, that he should be careful with his actions against you. As a result, even though your family is rich and powerful, there is one or no other good person like you besides you."

After Asil's long and confident speech, Medivh laughed and spoke immediately:   "Hahahaha. Very interesting. Asil, I haven't seen anyone with your interpretation skills in a long time. I don't think I'll regret meeting someone like you in the future. So that's the answer to my first question, hahaha..." Medivh remained silent for a short time, smiling at the end of the conversation, and then continued to speak. "Then I'll ask you a better question. I really wonder how you're going to answer that question. Are you ready?"

Asil approved with a nod and replied: "You can ask your question at any time."

Medivh nodded and asked his second question: "I want to set one of you free while I am here. Who do you think I should set free?"
