7 Looking Over Astra (2/2)
Hearing this Nanea was delighted and about to jump in joy but controlled herself as she was in front of an important and well respected person, but she showed her delight by immediately bowing to the Elder.
”Now as That's dealt with. The most important matter at hand, is to look after Astra. He may be a rare talent but someone needs to monitor and look after him as he is still young and a bright future ahead of him. But if others come to know of this they might all pester him in his cultivation and because of their actions he might be forced to do something not warranted which may lead for his expulsion from the sect.
So, the main reason I called you here is to take on this task. You don't have to worry about anything about going on missions as this will be your mission.” [Head Elder]
Nanea was surprised at being suddenly being given a mission and that mission to be to look after Astra. She hesitated of a bit the aske the Elder.
”Elder, it is rude of me to ask this but may I know the reason for me to be looking after Astra? And why me of all the people?” [Nanea]
”It is so that if he does anything that is in anyway harmful for the sect of the common populace, then you'll have to immediately report it to me. But still, you have to submit daily report to me about him, what he did the entire day? How's his cultivation progress going on? Or if there is any hindrance in his study?
As for why I chose you? It's quite simple, since you are the closest to him and he seems to feel more comfortable around you.” [Head Elder]
Listening to elder's reasoning Nanea finally understood'Astra might have been selected as an inner sect disciple but there is still some suspiciousness about him as how can he still progress in his cultivation in such a heaven defying speed since he'd never had a master to teach him before.'
After weighing all the possibilities, Nanea accepted the task.
The Head Elder nodded at her response.
”Now you may go, tomorrow bring Astra to the Contribution hall with you to collect his Disciple dress and token and your rewards. And I'll arrange 2 dorms next to each other for you and Astra to be as close as possible so, that you can carry out your task with much ease.” [Head Elder]
After all was said and done Nanea left the Elders Hall and went back to the inn to meet up with Astra.
