82 The great tournament

"Lad, you must tell me, which great sire has endorsed you! I'm the headmaster of this great academy, of all the people here, if there's one individual that you can trust, it's me" Retired Knight John Wood said, as he desperately tried to convince Luke to give him a name.

Over the last hour, Luke had shaken up the entire academy by bringing over a genuine token of honor and one by one he was sent to meet higher ups, starting from the professor to the dean to finally the headmaster.

Everyone pressured Luke to reveal the name of his sponsor, however, Luke remained steadfast in his answer that he could not divulge his master's identity.

"I don't understand headmaster, why is me revealing the name of my sponsor so important? Will the academy treat me differently based on who my master is?" Luke asked as the headmaster could not help but pinch his eyebrows.
