21 Introductions and Explanations (1/2)
The weekend passed peacefully with Falling Star showing Yu Chang around her parents' house and her secret spots that she goes to relax. After two days of unwinding and getting used to each other's company it was time for them to head back home.
”Little Star before you leave let me talk to you for a moment.” Her fathether called out to her before strolling towards the garden. Falling Star followed behind pensively. ”Has Little Yu told you about the other night yet?” he asked after they were alone.
”No, did something happen?”
”He had a dream the first night here, possibly related to your visit to Mister Sloth. It seemed to be a memory from when he was very young and leads me to believe you two were fated to meet.”
”What do you mean?”
”Do you remember Uncle and Auntie Yu?”
”Of course, they used to come around a lot when I was younger.”
”Little Yu may be their son. Take him back to Mister Sloth and find out what was in that vault. It may be the key to finding out the truth of his past and his inability to absorb spirit energy. Finding these answers is part of your duty since you accepted him as your desciple. Whether it pans out or not let me know, I also want to know what happened to your Uncle and Auntie.”
”I understand father. I will take him after he is done with classes tomorrow. Oh, have you heard I've taken up a teaching position at his school?”
”I have, was there something you needed?”
”It's just that the subject I'm going to teach is basic cultivation techniques. While I can handle combat types, you know my aptittude for non-combat cultivation outside of food related uses is bad. I was wondering if you and mom might be interested in teaching the non-combat students a bit of the basics about refining and spiritual cooking.”
”We'd love to, it's been boring staying at the house all the time now that you've moved off on your own. Do you plan on starting tomorrow?”
”Eh, you can come for introductions, but I was planning on doing a sparring demonstration with Little Yu tomorrow. I wanted to do it for a few reasons. I want to test his grasp of his combat skills, help him adjust to his body's current state, and to show that I'm not playing favorites for personally being his sparring partner in class. He is much too strong to spar with the other students. If he makes a mistake it could be fatal, atleast with me I can take the hit if he makes a mistake.”
”Looks like you've put a lot of thought into this.”
”Of course, I only took on this role for Little Yu's sake and I'll do everything I can to help him succeed. However, I will still help out the other students as well.”
”Alright I won't keep you any longer, we'll see you tomorrow. I'm also looking forward to watching the sparring demonstration.”
Falling Star hugged her father then ran off to find Yu Chang so they could leave.
