I know in these type of novel the master either die protecting his disciple, or doom to irrelevant after the arc involving the family is done. I hope something different for this one.

Being admitted into college in this day and age doesnt mean you are smart considering the sheer quantity of college in existence. Plus what major is he ? Considering the dude is a drunk and failure of a son, i expect him to study something useless like a history or english degree which translate to absolutely nothing in term of practical knowledge.

Can this be considered a primitive anchor of sort ?
