'When did I become his disciple?' Oliver didn't know.
The dozen pairs of eyes focused on him, drilling into his body to find an answer. Oliver was also doing something similar, trying to recall if he had agreed to be his disciple at some point.
'Did I?'
He may have danced around the topic, but he never accepted being a disciple.
He was sure of it.
In the current context, a disciple was practically an adopted son. Some high-ranking superhumans, to maintain their family's strength, would adopt someone from a poorer or less influential family and support them.
In exchange, they were required to support the family in their times of need. In some cases, contracts are even made to enforce this.
This was the most negative way to interpret what a disciple was.
However, there was also a positive interpretation.
A disciple could also mean someone talented who is supported by someone powerful.
A protege of a powerful person.
