Ocean Master

Bzzz! 

Sebastian's vision flashed again, then the next moment, he was back to the throne chamber of the clan with Old Mak. Seeing the familiar chamber, he could not help but feel some slight regret.

Having received the extremely rare opportunity of going out of the clan along with the clan head, it would be a lie if he said he was not attracted to the prospect of going on a hunting spree with the powerful shark.

Hunting alongside a killer machine Great White Shark like Old Mak, he was pretty sure that the haul, in the end, would be legendary.

In the end, he could only fantasize about this possibility.

On getting back to the throne chamber, Sebastian immediately noticed that all the other sharks left already, leaving only Elder Marble behind.

Old Mak did not waste any time, after taking his rightful place in his throne, he turned and started narrating the discussion with the Lizard Lord to the elder. In just a few minutes, he was done.

After this, Elder Dangle turned his enormous body around and alongside Sebastian, they both left the chamber to meet the 3 young shark prodigies.

Since the first day that he was taken into the clan, Sebastian had heard several rumors about the 3 prodigies. Apart from Tungsten who he already met before; he was finally about to meet the other 2.

…

"Elder Marble!"

"Greetings, Elder Marble!"

"Gooday, Elder Marble!"

After the 3 huge sharks that were before Sebastian greeted the shark elder, they finally turned their attention to him. Tungsten being the only one of the sharks who knew Sebastian before now, nodded at him as a form of greeting.

Before any of them could do anything, Elder Dangle made himself disposable immediately as he started the introductions.

"Tungsten, Torpedum, Strong, this is Sebastian".

"Sebastian, this is Tungsten who I believe you are already acquainted with".

"This is Torpedum, the only space domain shark of our clan".

"And this is Strong, the only strength domain shark of our clan. He succeeded in unlocking the ancient bloodline, the Pugilist King bloodline".

"Tungsten, Torpedum, Strong, I came to congratulate the 3 of you today because a new shark finally fulfilled the conditions to join your ranks".

"Welcome the new young prodigy of the clan, Sebastian".

"Welcome to the rank of the prodigies, sibling Sebastian".

While the 3 sharks said this outwardly, inwardly, their mind was occupied by another thing entirely. They were shocked, who was this new shark that they didn't know about who suddenly fulfilled the conditions to be a prodigy?

Instantly, their gaze at Sebastian changed. They started to observe and look closer at this shark, they finally took Sebastian seriously.

Already knowing what was about to happen, Elder Marble excused himself at this moment. "I'll leave the 3 of you to help your new friend better integrate into your group".

With that, Elder Marble finally left the prodigy chamber of the main staying chamber, leaving the sharks all the time in the world to observe each other.

As the sharks observed Sebastian, Sebastian also observed them.

Like Tungsten, the other 2 prodigy sharks towered at a size of approximately 15 meters. The only difference was that in terms of physique and body mass, Torpedum was like Tungsten while Strong was a different beast entirely.

Compared to the other 2 and even Sebastian himself, Strong was like a giant shark. Despite being a Great White Shark, muscles could still be seen visibly bulging out of his body, making him look like a gym freak.

Apart from this, his body was entirely plain looking like a normal Great White Shark. Despite this, Sebastian was not fooled, he knew that they were probably hiding deadly adaptations under their body's enormous frame.

Seeing these 3 sharks, the relevant information that was revealed about them from Tosh immediately resurfaced in his mind.

All 3 of these sharks were age mates, and since their days as young sharks, Tungsten and Torpedum were widely recognized as the prodigy sharks.

When they unlocked their magic domain, Tungsten unlocked light magic while Torpedum unlocked space magic, immediately placing him above Tungsten.

Due to this, Torpedum felt a sense of superiority over his friend which succeeded in destroying their friendship. From then on, they became rivals.

To get better than his rival, Tungsten put himself into dangerous adventures to get better through experience and fortuitous encounters. His luck was good, on his 3rd birthday, he got a surprising light domain shark magician's inheritance.

Through this inheritance, his strength grew by leaps and bounds which enabled him to climb back to Torpedum's level, placing them as young shark prodigies of the clan.

They were originally both the only prodigies of their time, Strong was a late bloomer. Being a shark who failed in unlocking a magic domain due to his lacking talent, this shark was seen as a failure in the clan.

This was until he entered a secret cave at an extreme region of this volcano region where a beast inheritance was hidden. This inheritance was an ancient strength domain inheritance that was left by an unknown predator.

Inside this inheritance cave, he was fortunate enough to fulfill the requirements where a lot of other predators already perished.

Through the inheritance, he got one of the legendary natural cores, the strength core which became his core. Through that, his talent skyrocketed, not as a magic shark but as a strength domain shark.

Later in the future, he evolved and became a Pugilist King Shark. This was when he was recognized as a young prodigy of the clan.

Rumors in the clan said that in terms of brute strength, Strong could take on both Tungsten and Torpedum, and thrash them without breaking a sweat.

This was the power of this strength domain Great White Shark.

"Welcome to the rank of the prodigies Sebastian, I'm your big bro Strong. If you need anything, just hola me, I'll be there quick and fast".

"Thanks, big bro Strong".

Sebastian felt awkward, from Verni calling him big bro, now that he had to call someone else a big bro too felt too weird.

"Welcome, prodigy Sebastian". Tungsten finally smiled at Sebastian.

"I heard you were injured pretty bad, how was it?"

"Oh, that? I recovered with time".

As the 2 sharks were about to continue, they were interrupted by the last of the prodigies, Torpedum.

"A mere sound domain shark can become a prodigy these days, it leaves me wondering about the accuracy of the elders' evaluation".

Without waiting for a reply from the others, Torpedum turned to swim away. He swam forward only for a few meters before his body faded into the water.

This was not teleportation; it was another space displacement skill that Sebastian could not identify.

The comment from Torpedum made the atmosphere awkward, which Tungsten tried hard to remedy by cheering up Sebastian.

Sebastian didn't pay too much attention to it, he only felt that the space domain shark was weird. His first impression of the shark was arrogance, self-centeredness, and pride.

The comments of a stray shark could not destroy his mood though. He enjoyed quality time with Tungsten and Strong before he finally excused himself to leave, he had a hunting team to address.

Without hesitation, he rushed out of the clan cave.

…

"Welcome back, team leader!"

On swimming outside the cave entrance, this was the reception that Sebastian received as the dozens of sharks that were before him all greeted him with a single voice that resonated together in echoes.

On seeing this scene of dozens of Great White Sharks gathered and all eagerly awaiting a word from him, Sebastian was dumbfounded.

At this moment, he seemed to be hearing a word that kept on singing in his mind "little drops of water makes a mighty ocean".

He still remembered how he started the Ultimate Dissectors hunting team with such a meager number of team members. Now, in so little time, the difference was so obvious that it was unbelievable.

This sight made Sebastian's heart feel full. It was not a scam, it was true that hard work pays, Sebastian wholeheartedly believed this. 

Seeing the eager gazes of the sharks, Sebastian confidently swam to their middle before addressing them in a loud voice.

"We are the Ultimate Dissectors hunting team!"

"Winning is our watchword, we are winners!"

"A month ago, I told those of you that were there that we should go conquer the world. Though we haven't fulfilled that goal yet, the second hunting mission taken by our hunting team proves that we can do it".

"In that hunting mission, we gained a lot, but we also lost".

"I want to use this opportunity to appease the souls of those that we lost in the previous hunt. They died for a good cause, so they should be celebrated".

"From today, they are heroes of the Ultimate Dissectors hunting team!"

"Today, I want to tell you not to forget the sacrifice of these heroes".

"We need to take the mantle from them, we need to take on even more hunting missions, and we need to break even more records".

"I believe that soon, enemy predators shall tremble at the mention of the name of our hunting team".

"Ultimate Dissectors, the conquerors!"

"The Conquerors!"
