Nanea knew that sooner or later if anyone had to show Astra around the sect and the city, then it was without a doubt that this task would befall in her hands. And the incident where Head Elder Zheng tasked her to be the one to look after Astra made this reason more solid. So, without wasting any time she replied.
”I'm very glad and honored to be given the task to show Astra, this generation's most promising disciple of Heavenly Sword Sect, around the sect and the city. I'll fulfill this task with my very heart and soul. I assure you that Astra here would not have any complaints.” [Nanea]
Hearing Nanea's reply and assurance, Elder Zheng nodded with a look of satisfaction on his face. Then he turned to Astra and spoke.
”Listen here Astra, if you ever have any problem or issues with anything then do not hesitate to look for any one of us, we'll be always there to help you.
It is a pity that I do not have the full authority to promote you to be a core disciple, given your talent, you are more than qualified to be selected as a core disciple but, without the Sect Patriarch's approval and the test conducted by Patriarch himself, it is nigh impossible for use to promote you to become a core disciple. But after this I will personally seek audience with the Patriarch and bring this matter to light along with all the elders present during this assessment. So, cultivate well till then Astra as once Patriarch learns of this there is a high possibility that you'll be tested by the Patriarch himself on all of those aspects but the most important ones would be your martial and cultivation talent that are the key factors in determining a cultivators future achievements.
Take this token and go to the Contribution Hall to collect you Inner Sect Disciple robe and Student token. The robe you're wearing and the student token that you have are Quasi-inner sect disciple robe and student token with this you can go collect your complete official inner sect disciple robe and student token.
Till next time, farewell!” [Elder Zheng]
He handed a token to Astra and after saying all that he had to say Elder Zheng disappeared from the arena, and the other elders agreed with Elder Zheng's words and also disappeared and headed back to their works. And the other reason was that, once this matter regarding Astra was brought to Patriarch's sight all the elders were sure to be called and inquired about it. And if not then they would have to follow the Patriarch when he looks for Astra to assess him.
Once all the elders left the arena, Nanea turned to Astra and spoke.
”Now that everything is over, Astra if you are fine with it we can begin your tour around the sect and the city.” [Nanea]
”Um… I'm fine with it. Let's begin our tour, it'd be easier for both of us that way. But first let us head to the Contribution Hall so that I can collect my Inner sect disciple robe and student token.” [Astra]
”Umm…” [Nanea]
After Nanea nodded, both Astra and Nanea headed to the Contribution Hall where Astra could collect his official Inner Sect Disciple and Disciple Token.
Soon enough, both of them reached the Contribute hall where Elder Peng had been waiting of them. On seeing Elder Peng, both Astra and Nanea bowed and greeted elder Peng.
Elder pend nodded at them, then
”Seeing as you are here it seems that your test has been completed. Give me the token that head Elder Zheng gave you.” [Elder Peng]
After elder Peng asked of the token, Astra handed it to elder Peng, as he was told to do so. Upon seeing the token, elder Peng stared at it with wide open eyes which seemed like they could pop out of their sockets anytime. After a long time only did Elder Peng regain his composure.
