Apprenticeship

The president listened to my words and he had several black lines on his face while Alina laughed from the side.

Then the president said," okay I will buy you lunch. Come with me", saying so he looked at Alina and asked," Do you want to join us for lunch?".

Alina hesitated for a while and then followed us inside the President's room.

Then the President looked at Ivan and said," bring us lunch".

Ivan nodded his head blankly and went to bring food.

At this time the President smiled and asked," Nick can you tell me who taught you alchemy".

I looked at him and said," no comment".

After listening to Nick's reply, President's smile froze while Alina from the side chuckled.

Then the president said," okay then I will not ask it", saying so he stopped and then looked at Nick excitedly and said," Nick would you like to worship me as your teacher".

I looked at the president and said," No way, I can't take you as a teacher as I already have a teacher. I don't need another one. So I can also say sorry", saying so I deliberately put a helpless expression on my face.

The President's face showed a trace of loss and then he said," well anyway, I can't force you. It's your decision so I will respect it", saying so he stopped and then again asked," are you sure you don't want to worship me as your teacher. I can give you 10 mana stones as long as you become my disciple".

Alina looked from the side and murmured in low voice," shameless".

While I felt my eyes glowing with money type and then I suppressed my emotions and said," well sir I don't know anything about you. Not even your name. Neither your tier. If I follow a weak teacher then would I not die if I make trouble", saying so I looked at him innocently.

When the president listened to my last sentence he almost cursed out loud. But he suppressed his urge and after coughing he said," well my name is Iolas Aegnor. I have different identities but now I am a tier 3 alchemist", saying so he stopped.

I looked at Iolas Aegnor and then asked," well how do we do the ceremony of the apprenticeship".

Iolas said," well just serve me a cup of tea".

I nodded my head and then I handed him over the tea after the apprentice was done I looked at Iolas and said," master can you give me some mana stones to play with. See my robe is so old-fashioned, I need a new one".

Iolas nodded his head and then gave me a ring. While I looked at the ring curiously and then Iolas said," this is a storage ring which you can use after you reach tier 1".

I nodded my head and said," okay master is the girl sitting on the counter of the shop my senior sister".

Iolas nodded his head and said," yes she is, you can go and talk with her more. Also, you can live here in the future".

I nodded my head and then said," master can you tell me about the continent. Like different races and other places in this world".

After listening to my words a trace of sadness flashed on Iolas face but it quickly faded. Then he said," how much did you learn about the continent".

I replied to what I heard from the village chief. Then Iolas said," well for now it's enough. When you reach tier 8. At that time I will tell you more about the continent".

Listening to his words I nodded my head and didn't ask anything but I couldn't help but say," master becoming Tier 8 will take a long time right".

Iolas replied," don't worry, the lifespan of humans in this world is more than three hundred years without cultivating, and after cultivating their strength and life also increase".

Listening to his words I suddenly felt my combat power would be at the lowest level and also I suddenly felt an urgency of becoming stronger or else a casual slap from an ordinary person would heavily injure me. So I looked at Iolas and said," master can you take me to the place where people fight".

Iolas said," after you have completed the assessment. Then I will take you to the arena to see".

I nodded my head and Ivan came inside with food and placed it on our plates. After Iolas said," you can eat your food".

I first prayed to God," thank God for blessing this table".

Then I started to eat under the weird eyes of Iolas and Alina.

The food was made of roasted vegetables and there was also bread. So after a bite, I felt the taste of the food was so good that I couldn't express it in words. I just ate it with a happy expression and after eating the food I couldn't help but say," this is the best meal I have ever eaten".

Alina looked at me with weird eyes and seeing this I said," I am not rich like you guys".

After listening to my words Alina and Iolas looked at me with pitiful looks.

I couldn't withstand their look so I walked out of the room before saying," master I am going to my senior sister to ask for her gift", saying so I walked ahead leaving Iolas with a bewildered expression.

Iolas looked in Nick's direction and said," it seems I have accepted a troublemaker".

While Alina said," Uncle, a second assessment is going to start soon. I will bring Nick back", saying so she also chased behind Nick.

While after reaching my senior sister's place I said respectfully," junior Nick has met senior sister", saying so I stopped and then began to compliment her," sister you look so beautiful, just like a Fairy".

Soliana listened to Nick's words and she felt very good when she heard his praise so she said," well since you are my junior brother then I will give you a gift", saying she gave three mana stones and also gave some healing and speed potion.
