Chapter 43 - Helping Hand (1/2)

After Jason was left alone to do his own thing, the grand elder also let him a hand whenever he is confused about the function of the herb and where to find them until he became bored and decided to go out for and catch some air when he saw Austin standing on the entrance.

”Good day grand elder” said Austin with a bowl when he saw the grand elder coming out.

”How are you doing Austin” replies the grand elder as he waves his hand for Austin to get up.

”So how is your training going” asked the grand elder.

”It was great and won't be too long before I breakthrough into the foundation realm” reply Austin as he got up from his bow.

”That is good to the hearing boy, so what brings you here because if I remember clearly, you never wanted to be an alchemist or did you suddenly have a change of heart and came here to beg me to be your master” asked the grand elder with a light chuckle.

”Not really grand elder, I still choose to Dedicate my life in my training” reply Austin with a bow once more.

”Then What do you want here if not to learn the way of the medicine” asked the grand elder as he was becoming angry at Austin.

”I heard that Jason is now working with you so I came to see him since we still have an unfinished business” replied Austin.

”Unfinished business you say, alright then tell me does it have everything to do with the tournament” asked the grand elder as he stroke his beard.

”It is not honorable to fight an opponent who has been fighting for a long time and run out of spiritual energy, so we made a deal of fighting in two days which he didn't show up which is why I came looking for him” reply Austin with a smile on his face.

”He is inside so you can go see him but remember fighting is not allowed in my alchemy room” said the grand elder with a nod.

”Thank you grand elder” reply Austin with a bow before going inside.

Ever since the day Austin begins his training, this is the very first time that he has actually entered the alchemy room as he begins to observe the place when he sighted Jason reading at one corner. Making his way there, Austin slams his hand on the book of herbs to get his attention.

Raising his head to take a look at who has disturbed him as he was ready to yell only to discover that it was Austin who had a frown on his face.

”Hey Austin, what are you doing here” asked Jason in shock.

”You still have the guts to ask what I am doing here” replied Austin as he yall at Jason.

”I know I didn't show up for our fight, I was really busy lately” said Jason with a sigh.

”Yeah, I can see that you are really busy sitting here while reading books” replied Austin in anger.

”There is more to this than just book” said Jason as he can't tolerate Austin anymore.
