==========================================================================================
The night passed in the blink of an eye. Both of them excited their room almost exactly at the same time. This made Nanea a bit startled at the beginning, but she sobbed regained her calm.
Both of them then went downstairs where they were warmly greeted by the receptionist.
”Good morning! Hope you had a good night sleep” [Receptionist]
”Umm... We did.” [Both spoke at the same time]
After exchanging greetings both of them ordered few things to eat as breakfast.
Once they finished their first, they began making their way towards the sect as it was a very important day for Astra. Today was the first day for Astra in the sect as an official disciple, and there was no way would either he or Nanea would miss it. Like the time in Astra's previous world where the first day for anything they were doing was really important be it attending school or first day at some job, no one would ever miss it. Same was the case here, in this world. Every child who were about to be introduced into the cultivation and martial arts world, they would never miss it, this day was also called COMING OF AGE CEREMONY by them. It was also the same for those attending the sect for the first time after they joined one.
That being the case, both of them hurried towards the sect. While the both of them were making their way to the sect Nanea kept on sneaking a peak or two at Astra every now and then, and had this bashful look on her face. While sneaking a peak at Astra, Nanea kept on remembering the emotions that she felt the day before, because of this there was an awkward silence between them the whole time til they reached the sect.
The duo on reaching the sect entrance were greeted by the guards. Then they entered the sect and headed towards the Elder Hall to greet the elders.
After they walked around for some time, they reached the Elder Hall. There they asked the guards to ask permission to the elders stating they have come to pay their respects to the elders.
The guard nodded then went inside the Elder Hall to notify then Elders that Astra and Nanea had come to visit them. Shortly after the guard returned and escorted the duo to the Elders' conference hall where all the elders had gathered to discuss some maters.
”Disciple Astra/Nanea greet the Elders!!” [Astra and Nanea]
”Umm..” [All the Elders]
”What brings you two here? We were just about to send someone to look for both of you.
Either way it makes our job a lot easier.” [Elder Zheng]
After listening to that both Astra and Nanea were a bit confused for why the head would have looked for them but could somewhat guess that it was something related to Astra's grooming in the sect.
Both of them silently stood in front of the elders to listen to what they were meaning to both of them about.
”You do know that form today onwards you are one of the disciples of our Heavenly Sword Sect and it is our responsibility to groom you to be one of the best disciples of the sect as you are the most promising disciple of this generation… no probably the most promising disciple of the sect in the last half a decade. And it is also your duty to reciprocate by giving your best and work really really hard so as to not disappoint us.” [Elder Zheng]
After Elder Zheng finished saying this all the elders nodded at his words and at the same time Astra stepped forward and said.
”This disciple swears on his name that he won't disappoint the Elders and work so hard that h will surpass your expectations. If I fail to do so may the heaven strike this disciple.” [Astra]
