nAfter a short time, which Rebecca spent internally debating, Rebecca finally replied

n

"Well… we're not really supposed to pass on techniques to those outside of the academy…

"

nHearing Rebecca's statement Dante froze for a second thinking that his plan was shattered but before he could even start

nBut suddenly Rebecca started speaking

n

"But seeing as you're talented, it's only a matter of time before you end up joining the Hidden Dragon Academy anyway. I'm sure they won't mind if I teach you a technique a few months in advance. Just don't show this technique off in front of people when you take the test to join the academy, let's try to avoid any problems if possible

"

nHearing that Rebecca agreed to teach him Dante was overjoyed

nbut before he could thank Rebecca he was interrupted by Patriarch Gavin

n

"Just hold on a second. Just because the people at the Hidden Dragon Academy are stronger doesn't mean that have the best techniques, the Kinsman clan also has some excellent Movement techniques

"

nHearing Patriarch Gavin's words Rebecca shot him a look of pity as she said

n

"It's okay Dad, there's no need to lie

"

nPuzzled Patriarch Gavin asked Rebecca

n

"What do you mean lie? How was anything I said just now a lie?

"

n

" Dad, I think you're forgetting I'm still a part of the Kinsman Clan too

" replied Rebecca

n

"I know you've been trying hard as Patriarch to increase the strength of the Kinsman Clan. but you don't have to lie to Dante about the strength of the clan. Your forgetting that if you, as the Patriarch of the Kinsman clan, only has a cultivation level at the peak of the Martial journeyman, it's kind of hard to believe what you are saying. this is especially true especially when back at The Hidden Dragon academy, a cultivation Level at the peak of the Martial journeyman realm isn't enough to even get you a place as an Elder at the Hidden Dragon Academy

nAfter hearing Rebecca's words, Patriarch Gavin's face flushed bright red in embarrassment

n

"Silly little girl what would you know about managing a clan !

" exclaimed patriarch Gavin in embarrassment

"Managing a clan is much harder than you think. Anyway, my skills as Patriarch have nothing to do with this! And Who said I was talking about myself when I said we have better martial skills than Hidden Dragon academy anyway?

" Replied Patriarch Gavin

n

"Oh… is that so ?

" questioned Rebecca doubtfully

"If not you who as the patriarch of the clan have these so-called amazing techniques. Tell me who in the Kinsman Clan could possibly have better skills than the Hidden Dragon Academy? one of the best organisations on the whole continent!

"

n

"Well I bet you'll be surprised to know that, that person is someone very close to you, in fact, he's sat right here in this very room!

" said patriarch Gavin proudly

nHearing this Rebecca turned to the only person left in the room who it could possibly be, Winton!

nBut instead of agreeing with Patriarch Gavin's claims, Winton was still quietly eating his food as if he had never heard a thing in the first place.

nLooking at Winton's behaviour, this Patriarch Gavin began to panic

n

"Hey Winton, you're not gonna leave me hanging like this.

" questioned patriarch Gavin

n

"Don't do this to me, I was just trying to show off your talent, at this rate your going to ruin my image as a trustworthy patriarch in front of the kids!

"

nAt this point Patriarch Gavin was basically crying on Winton's shoulder

nunfortunately for Patriarch Gavin what he didn't realize as his display had already reduced the impression that Dante had of him as a trustworthy patriarch in the first place. And as for Rebecca, as his daughter, she had been with Gavin her whole life and even till today she would sometimes wonder who thought that it would be a good idea to hand over the position of Patriarch to someone as childish as her father

nAfter looking at Patriarch Gavin's unsightly display, Winton decided that he couldn't leave him to embarrass himself any longer

n

"Sigh!

"

n

"I guess I'll have to help you out this time, but just know the plan was to be as low-key as possible and you've ruined it

" whispered Winton to Gavin as he got up

n

"Yesss!

" Cried Patriarch Gavin

"Don't worry about it as long as you don't do anything crazy there's no need to be worried

"

nGetting Winton's agreement Patriarch Gavin took all of them outside towards his personal training ground.

n…

nAfter walking for some time, they finally arrived at the training ground.

nIt was a clear dirt field that had some trees dotted around here and there. But most importantly the surroundings were completely empty, except for Dante and the rest, nobody else was there.

nBut even after sewing all of Patriarch Gavin's efforts Rebecca still had her doubts when it came down to it. After all, it was just hard to believe that a relatively small clan still had better techniques than one of the strongest organisations on the entire continent, it just didn't make any logical sense in Rebecca's head

n

"Well Dad, now that you've brought us all the way out here, you better show us something impressive or else this all a waste of time

" complained Rebecca

n

"Just relax and watch, I'm sure you'll be surprised in the end

" replied Patriarch Gavin

nIgnoring Rebecca's and Gavin's brief exchange, Dante and Winton were standing opposite each other in the centre of the training ground .

n

"So you're looking for a movement technique?

" Asked Winton

n

"Yeah, I feel like My lack of mobility is starting to become a real big issue and is a glaring weakness, which is especially true when facing stronger opponents who could easily punish me for such a small mistake

"

nHearing Dante analyse his own weakness and flaws, Winton was very impressed but even then still kept a plain look on his face.

n

"It's impressive that you managed to recognise your weakness and even managed to find the best solutions for fixing the problem

" complimented Winton

n

"After thinking about it for a while, I managed to come up with the best movement technique that would suit you from my memory

"

nCurious Dante couldn't resist the urge to ask

n

"Patriarch Gavin said you would know better techniques than even people at the Hidden Dragon Academy. Is it possible that those techniques would be legendary Diamond Rank Martial Skills!

"

nHearing Dante's question, even Winton had a slight smile on his face

n

"Trust me, the technique I'm about to teach you is at least 1000 times better than any Diamond Rank Martial Skill you could ever have!

"
