As the patriarch on the rock pillar instructed him to train Kent in different aspects, Porus didn’t object to Shreya’s condition of training Kent in potion mastery. With a sigh, he patted Kent’s back and stood up.
“I will take my leave now. Come to the rising sun peak tonight. I already prepared a training schedule and resources for you.” Porus replied with a hearty laugh and walked towards Shreya.
Shreya exchanged an unwilling look with Porus, as she failed to argue with the patriarch for the resources of the rising sun peak. “Lady, don’t exhaust him with studies. I want him to focus more on his weapon training.” Porus said to Shreya before leaving the healing tower.
Shreya cursed angrily while staring at the leaving back of Porus. After Porus went away, she called Sophia to come inside.
“Sophia, I’m accepting Kent as my personal disciple. He will receive the same perks as you. Take him to the administrative building and help him get a new identification token. Also, Kent knows nothing about potions. Guide him for the next two months and inform me once he is ready to learn. Understood?” Shreya said everything in a single sentence as she commanded authoritatively.
“Understood, Master.” Sophia immediately bowed in respect. A happy smile is playing on her surprised face.
“Kent, you must become a rank 5 healer by year-end. So, put enough effort into learning the healing arts.” After instructing Kent about a about a few other things, peak master Shreya left the healing tower, leaving the two birds alone.
“Shall we go?” Sophia asked while staring at Kent with a shy smile. Kent nodded his head and got off the rock bed.
As Kent waved his hand, the Fire Kirin, who sat in the corner with a dull face, stood up hurriedly and reached him with an excited cry. Playing with his mane, Kent followed behind Sophia.
A mountain lion and Fire Kirin were walking slowly on the marble path, and beautiful gardens lay on either side.
“Sophia, why are you so silent? At least tell me about our daily routine.” Kent urged while staring at her face.
“Sorry, I just lost myself in my thoughts. As you are a direct disciple of Peak Master, we don’t need to attend any lectures or perform any services like others. But we must complete one golden mission each month.”
“Wait, what is the golden mission?” Kent asked with a confused look.
“Missions were the requests placed by outside people, asking for our assistance. As a healing peak, we mostly receive missions related to healing, curing, removing poison, making potion requests, etc. All the disciples must complete three bronze rank, two silver rank, or one gold rank mission in each month.”
“As the personal disciples of Peak Master, we can only choose gold-rank missions. Don’t worry, you can take assistance from others to finish the mission.” Sophia explained patiently while staring at Kent.
“Peak Master said I should become a rank 5 healer by year end. What is your rank now?” Kent asked with a curious look. ”
“I’m already a level 5 healer. But I still didn’t get the official token from the Wizard Association. There are a total of nine ranks, and a master is an 8th-rank healer. To become a healer, we should improve in three aspects: hand-cast healing, potion making, and combat healing. Don’t worry, I will help you with the basics.”
By the time Sophia finished, they had reached the administrative building, where several old women sat before a long table. All of them were busily working on different cloth letters.
“Hai, grandma, I bought a surprise for you.” Sophia greeted an old lady who sat in the corner with a grumpy face.
“What surprise?” The old lady lifted her head and stared at Sophia seriously. Soon her eyes darted onto Kent.
“He is the gift.” Sophia spoke with a playful smile.
“Little girl, don’t you know sect rules? You shouldn’t bring your boyfriend to sect grounds.” The old lady said in serious tone while observing Kent from head to toe.
“Old lady, stop making assumptions with your old brain. He is the new personal disciple recruited by the master. Make a disciple token for him.” Sophia replied before smashing her palm on the table.
“Tsk… Tsk… acting all masculine, you should learn the manners of a lady.” The old lady retorted as she took out a wooden box from her storage ring.
Sophia smiled playfully as she leaned on the table to see the contents of the wooden box. Just as the old lady opened the lid of the wooden box, Kent saw several jade stones inside the wooden box. Sophia hurriedly placed her hand and picked an emerald green stone.
With a sigh, the old lady accepted the jade stone and began working on it. Kent, who stood by the side, felt his gaze drawn onto Sophia, who was acting like a playful kitten.
“Young man, what is your name?” the old lady asked while inscribing something on the jade stone.
“Kent Clark.”
After hearing the name, the old lady took out her wand and inscribed his name inside the jade stone. She added a golden sun silhouette in the background of the Kent name.
“Insert your aura inside this jade token.” The old lady gestured for Kent to come close. As Kent inserted his aura inside the jade token, his name shone in red on the silhouette of the golden sun.
After finishing everything, the old lady took out two sets of sect uniforms, 10 aura stones, a set of needles, and a cloth letter containing all sect rules and passed everything to Kent.
“Young man, those 10 aura stones are your monthly resources from the sect. On every lunar day, you come here to pick those 10 aura stones. Also, you should complete one gold rank mission each month. You can do more missions with more resources.” The old lady explained everything patiently.
“Old lady, I will explain the remaining. Stop boring him with all sect rules on the first day.” Sophia retorted with an annoyed face.
“Girl, stop backing your boyfriend. He must know sect rules before taking a residence.” The old lady replied with a stoic face.
“You… old bucket, how many times should I say he is not my boyfriend?” Sophia spoke loudly in annoyed tone.
“Tsk… Stop your acting. If he is not your boyfriend, why are you blushing like a pink bun?” The old lady spoke while closing down the wooden box on the table.
