"You don't need to worry about me. I'm not here to cause trouble to you. In fact, you can consider me as your uncle." saying that the elder gestured Knave to sit on the chair beside the table.

Following the instructions Knave without any hesitation sat down, as he knew if the elder wanted to harm him it would be too easy with the elder's strength.

Seeing him sitting down the elder nodded in administration at Knaves thinking and continued, "About my relationship to Vanessa. It would be better if she explained it to you herself when she comes back.

All you need to know is that she entrusted me to look after you while she was away, as the mission that she had considered simple turned out to be quite complicated and would require her at least a year's time before she can come back.

So, for that time being, I will be taking care of you. If you have any doubts while cultivating or any problem that you aren't able to solve on your own can come to me.

As for me taking you as my disciple, that was just so that the other people in the academy don't cause too much trouble to you while Vanessa is gone.

My connection to Vanessa has not been fully disclosed in the academy. So not all the people who are against her in the inner section know about me having her back.

So, for the time being, they would see me as a man looking for a good disciple, but if you really want to come under my tutelage, I am more than willing to take you as my disciple."

saying that the elder looked at Knave but not seeing any reaction to his offer he could only continue.

"So, you don't need to worry about any other things and just concentrate on your cultivation and gathering of the Alchemy knowledge.

As far as I can see, you are already on the brink of breaking through the fourth stage of shackle realm.

You may not know there is a rule, that every outer disciple has to take a mission once every six months but considering your situation your six-month start from this week itself.

So, you have more than five months to go out for a mission, in that time with you concentrating on cultivation and the pills that will be given to you by me, you will be easily able to break through the 7 shackles and enter the high tier shackle realm.

Than any missions in the outer ring will become as easy as taking a walk to you." saying till here the elder was waiting for Knave's response, but what greeted him was a question.

"Elder what about conducting alchemy?" Knave asked.

" You already have an auxiliary technique for the Alchemy process of quenching. After Vanessa returns I will talk to her and if she accepts I will then teach you my auxiliary technique for the pill formation.

Once you have both the techniques becoming a master Alchemist in the academy is already in your hands. Once you become Alchemy Master, nobody in the academy will cause you too much trouble.

As they will fear you causing problems to them from the behind the scenes. I think, for today this much information will do from my side." saying this the elder pointed towards his back.

"Now on the back you can see some shelves, in those there are books related to alchemy that are not in the library. They are the collection that I have collected in the past Century. You can go and browse through them and enrich your Alchemy knowledge."

After saying that the Elder was turning around to go out of the room for some reason, but suddenly remembering something he put his hand inside his space pouch and remove the pill bottle and handed it over to Knave and said,

" I almost forgot, these are the pills for this months cultivation. In total there are 60 pills in it, and there are high-grade Spirit pills which are very useful to the people in the mid-tier of the Shackled realm.

With this breaking through to the fourth as well as the fifth stage of the shackle realm will be easy for you, now go and study." After saying that the Elder went out of the room leaving only naive behind.
