You're Out Daddy

Chapter 865 Intentions Shape The Morality Of Skills

And so, several people sat in Magus' studio, their eyes fixated without blinking.

They appeared surprised and intrigued, their expressions filled with novelty.

However, as time passed by, second after second, they found themselves growing bored to the extreme and began yawning.

Denise, in particular, found a spot to sit and started daydreaming, gradually dozing off until he eventually slumped onto the table, fast asleep.

No one knew how much time had passed when got up to fetch something. As he raised his gaze, he noticed that his studio's corner was now filled with people, scattered here and there, and sleeping in all sorts of strange and peculiar positions. Only Anthony stood in front of his desk, attentively observing.

With a small palm-sized face and a pair of dark eyes, he stared motionlessly at Magus' workbench.

This was, in fact, a rather tedious and boring task. In the past, Magus himself had stood in front of the workbench, just like Anthony, observing for an entire night before gaining recognition and acquiring this skill.

Surprised, Magus swept his bewildered gaze across Anthony, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke, “Do you like this?”

Anthony replied, “Not exactly, I'm just curious, that's all!”

“Do you want to learn?” Magus asked.

Anthony lifted his gaze and looked at him. “Are you willing to teach me?”

“I can offer it as a reward for saving Lina,” Magus replied.

Anthony smiled faintly, showing no signs of urgency or eagerness. He simply glanced at him and said, “Are these the skills you use to make a living? You teach it to others so easily?”

Magus stood up, grabbed a tool, and then sat back down. He continued carving on a hyper-realistic mask. After a while, he spoke softly, “It's not easy. You are indeed quite different from the others who have come here seeking my services!”

It could be heard that he was praising him.

Anthony looked at him and asked, “Oh, really? How am I different?”
