Lucius closed a notebook and passed it to Kain.
"Excellent work, as always!" Kain praised.
"You helped me a lot too Master Kain," Lucius replied.
"No, no. Students like you are rare like diamonds, it's a pity I didn't get to teach you when you were younger, or by now you would have easily been able to become a master yourself." Kain stated.
Hearing this peaked Lucius's interest and he finally decided to ask.
"What does becoming a master particularly entail, master Kain? And how does one go about becoming one?" Lucius questioned.
"A master is basically a rank in any occupation. It could be any occupation, whether one is a scholar, a swordsman, a smith, or even a cook. In order for someone to become a master, all they need to do is make a great contribution to their field." Kain answered.
"Hmm… and who decides that someone has made a sizable contribution?" Lucius questioned.
