"What?! That power…" Roan widened his eyes, never expecting to see the light and darkness come together into one in harmony.
Yale used his shock to close the gap between them.
"No!" Roan gritted his teeth and covered his hand with black flame before he plunged his fist toward Yale.
The latter swung his bat with all his might, releasing all the emotions that had been buried for the past few years.
"I won't lose against you anymore!" Yale struck Roan's from below.
Bonk.
A huge Bonk echoed in the area as the light and darkness released a powerful shock wave that shook their surroundings.
Roan's black flame was extinguished by these two energies, allowing the Bonk Bat to hit him.
Yale didn't know that Bonk Bat was effective against a horny opponent and elevated his power even further.
But he still had enough strength to launch Roan into the air. And with a small explosion from his power and the Bonk Bat's amplification, Roan flew thirty feet into the air and crashed two hundred feet away from him.
The moment he landed on the ground, he rolled a few times before stopping lifelessly.
He was still alive, but his consciousness had faded.
"Oh?" Albert was impressed by Yale's strength and thought, 'It's a shame. If only he was stronger, it would be a home run.'
While Albert was enjoying the sight of Yale beating his own brother, Yale had made his way toward Arsa with his bat.
The power of light and darkness started to appear again around the bat, scaring Arsa.
It was true that an anomaly was classified as a loser and a cursed one. However, if they truly managed to use both powers simultaneously, their strength would surpass a normal person.
Seeing Roan flying was enough for her to realize that Yale was stronger than her in that instant.
"Y-Yale…" Arsa tried to call his name. She thought if Yale could indeed master both elements at the same time, his worth would be far more than any other princes. If that was the case, it would be best to mend their relationship. "There must be a misunderstanding. How about—!"
Yale didn't let her finish her words as he had already arrived in front of her and swung his bat.
"Shut up! Your trick can't influence me anymore. Remember this! I will not become the one percent… But I will surpass them! I will become the one percent among those one percent. You shall regret it for the rest of your life because of your choice. Begone, Horny Woman!" Yale struck her.
Arsa managed to raise both arms, blocking the bat, but she finally understood what kind of force that hit Roan earlier.
"Gah!" Arsa felt her bones broken as she was flying into the air.
"I just want happiness now and it doesn't need to be a woman." Yale snorted.
'Look at this chad… I mean, this kid. He's good, isn't he?' Albert thought, smiling at Yale's power. Yale might be his lucky charm and if he could find more Yales in the near future, he would truly have an army. Raiding brothels or something similar would be an easy task.
After hitting both of them, Yale suddenly raised both hands and looked at them dumbfoundedly. He thought, 'I can feel that I am stronger after hitting them. Is this because my power is completely in harmony?
'Still, my heart is at peace. Maybe I have truly let go of all those feelings. And the one who gave me everything… Not only did he harmonize my two elements, but he also gave me this opportunity.' Yale walked toward Albert with a serious expression.
Suddenly, he dropped to one knee with his hand on the ground. He lowered his head and said, "Albert… No, Teacher. By the name of the Demon God who blesses the Demons, I, Yale, recognize you as my one and only Teacher in this life and vow to make you proud. As long as I am with Teacher, I am ready to venture even to the deepest depths of hell."
Albert couldn't help but feel goosebumps from his words. He never thought that someone's vow could actually influence him this much.
As someone from the Pride Kingdom, he must be very proud of himself. On top of that, Yale was a prince. He might have been suppressed by them, but he was still proud of himself. After all, that was the reason Yale fought back here.
Yet, this prideful guy actually lowered himself to someone else and recognized him as his teacher.
This showed the highest level of respect from Yale.
Even Albert straightened his back and faced him with a serious expression.
"I shall accept your vow and promise you that as long as I'm alive, I will keep protecting you." Albert bent down his knees and held Yale's arms, trying to get him up. He also smiled and said, "I will be counting on you, Yale."
"Yes, Teacher." Yale nodded furiously.
"How about not addressing me as your teacher? It's embarrassing."
"No can do." Yale shook his head. "This is the last thing I will do. Even if you ask me this, I won't change."
"Well…" Albert sighed and said, "Well, we should get up first. You truly grabbed everyone's attention."
Yale looked around and knew that was true. The people had stopped to look at him and immediately whispered, "Teacher. I think it's best for us to leave this place immediately. I'm afraid they're going to bring their soldiers to capture us.
"Let me go back to the mansion first and grab all my tools before setting off. With how they're still knocked out in the street, they shouldn't be able to respond within an hour."
"Right. You know this more than me, so I will just follow your advice." Albert nodded in agreement.
The two immediately entered the mansion as Yale prepared everything. Although he couldn't bring too much, he had packed the necessities, including a tent and other stuff. He even brought his money as this was the most important thing for them if they wanted to start over.
After that, Yale and Albert had a quick lunch before they left the mansion.
Yennex wanted to stop him, but he couldn't do so because of the smile on Yale's face. That was the biggest and most genuine smile Yale had ever shown, meaning this was Yale's happiness.
He let him go before discovering what had happened earlier. Yale actually defeated Roan and Arsa.
He also found out that Yale seemed to be using both elements simultaneously because the people around the mansion mentioned they saw Yale wielding a bat covered with light and darkness.
As soon as they left the city, Yale finally had the time to ask. "That's right, Teacher. I am still wondering about the power of this bat. I think I can wield both of my elements with this bat…"
Yale raised the bat and showed him that he could cover the bat with both elements. But when he hung the bat on his waist again and tried to release both elements, he couldn't do it.
"Before that, I think I should tell you this. You can actually make the bat disappear and call it again later."
"Eh?" Yale widened his eyes in amusement.
"Yeah. Just think of it disappearing from your hand."
Yale tried to imagine it and the bat indeed disappeared. He then summoned it back without any problem.
"Oh… To think I can do that." Yale nodded. "That's good. Although I don't possess a Space Element, I think this is good enough. Thank you, Teacher."
"Hahaha." Albert chuckled as he wasn't the one who should be thanked. He shifted their topic to another one. "As for your question earlier… How should I explain this? The bat can help the wielder control all their power.
"And the reason why I can wield two elements is due to this feature," Albert answered.
"Really? This bat is so magical." Yale nodded in understanding. "And I don't think this bat is real because I can only summon it when I agree to be your student. That means there is a limitation to this power… So, yeah, it must be Teacher's power."
'This kid is so clever that I want to cry.' Albert thought, not expecting to see Yale speculating everything correctly.
He contemplated whether it was appropriate to tell Yale about his Bonk power.
Eventually, he chose to say, "Actually, my power is not that great."
"What do you mean?"
"My power comes from one word, which is Bonk, meaning to hit. Who to hit? Those who are horny. So, yeah, I can actually hit someone who is horny and make them not horny anymore." Albert explained.
"What?" Yale gasped and remembered what happened in Borsoli Town. "I see. That time… You hit me to save me. And I don't think I can be charmed by Her Majesty Lilith anymore. If this is true, your power is truly essential for the Lust Kingdom.
"In fact, if you have a good standing among nobles, you can actually marry the most beautiful woman in the world, Lilith. But again, I don't think you want that.
"Well, this is not what I want to say… I just want to tell you that this power is really powerful. The fact that you can wield this along with two elements… Doesn't this mean you can use more elements? I'm curious... Teacher, how many elements did you have when you were born?"
"Ehm…" Albert looked down. He couldn't tell him that he didn't have an element as he used the power of horniness to generate those elements. Still, it didn't change the fact he could use them, so he exclaimed, "I can wield all elements, depending on my power."
"Wow." Yale drew a gasp and continued. "No wonder… I feel like whoever has abandoned you will regret it in the future. And I'm lucky that I can become your first student. What was it called again? Bonk Officer?"
"Yeah. Don't worry. I will get stronger as soon as possible because it's my role to protect you." Albert smiled and patted Yale's shoulder.
They had been walking with a huge back behind them, so this somehow didn't feel like touching for Yale. Even then, he was grateful to have a caring teacher.
"Thank you." Yale smiled.
"Anyway, I believe you can get stronger after you bonk horny people."
"Ah, isn't that the reason why I felt power surging inside my body after hitting both of them? I see. If that's the case, shouldn't we go to the Lust Kingdom?"
"That's what I want to do, but can't you see what she's going to do if I'm there…"
"True." Yale nodded. "Yeah, I think my place is the best for our current development. When we get stronger, we can go there."
"Yeah. I will tell you everything you need to know about Bonk."
"Before that, Teacher, can you wield two elements at the same time?"
"I don't think so, but I will try in the future." Albert waved his hand while adding inwardly, 'I couldn't tell him that I used skill instead of elements.'
"Well, that's fine, I guess. Teacher can wield all elements, so it's normal for you to have this limitation. It's too powerful." Yale nodded. "Even so, having the ability to wield those elements alone will cause you trouble in the future. Maybe limit it to two elements for now to avoid more problems."
"Yeah. That's what I'm planning to do." Albert agreed with his assessment. This also reminded him of the fact that he had finished the mission. 'That's right. What did I get from having the first Bonk Officer?'
Mission: Get a disciple or subordinate (1/1)
Reward: Leader Job (Adjustable)
[You've acquired Bonk Captain Job]
Title: Bonk Captain
Effect: Increase your disciple or subordinate's potential, efficiency to learn skills, and growth by 10%. If you have more disciples or subordinates, the effect will improve.
'Oh? This is good. At the very least, they can get stronger faster and I won't have any slow students in the future.' Albert thought while smiling.
While those two talked about their future, Roan and Arsa finally woke up and planned to report this incident to the king.
