18 The Shock the Elders fel (2/2)

He spoke all these words with a stern and confident look on his face.

When all the elders saw the confidence in Astra's eyes they were a bit amazed as this kind of look was very hard to see in a disciple of this generation. And they all nodded at him and his vow with a very happy and satisfied look. They were proud of themselves for having accepted a disciple like Astra but they didn't let it be shown on their faces.

They felt proud because it was rel hard to come by any one to take in as a disciple who had decent talent in cultivation if they manage to find one then there would be another difficulty of finding someone who wasn't arrogant while had a decent talent for cultivation. And even if they find someone with both these quirks it would be anther difficult task to fine someone who was hard working. And they had found a perfect disciple, Astra, who had all these qualities so, they couldn't help but feel proud for being able to impart their knowledge to him.

”We're really satisfied with the display of your determination, but we won't known until we've seen the results of your training. So, do not let the feeling that you've achieved something great by becoming the disciple being directly groomed by us elders get to your head 'cause if we don't see the results of all the training that we give you you will probably never be able to get our guidance again.” [Elder Cang]

All the other Elders agreed on Elder Cang's words. As it was true that some faked their act of confidence only to get someone's backing and later laze around and bully others using the names of elders only to result in sullying those elder's name.

”Elder Cang is right. You can only showcase the viability of your words through your actions only. If words meant everything then we wouldn't have to train at all.

Never-mind that, we call you both her for a reason. But first tell me disciple Astra. How much of the basic knowledge on all the seven major fields have you accumulated during your stay in the sect library before the test?” [Elder Zheng]

Astra after being asked such question pondered a bit then replied.

”Elder, this disciple has accumulated around 50 to 60% of the basic on each field accounting all the three floors.” [Astra]

All the people in the room were flabbergast, it was already a huge feat to be able to accumulate 30 to 40% of the basic knowledge on one floor only but here stood someone who was able to accumulate 50 to 60% of the knowledge of not a single floor but all the three floors.

It took a very long time for them to regain their composer. Once they had regained their calm Elder Hao asked to confirm what he heard.

”Umm… I think I miss heard could you repeat what you said?” [Elder Hao]

”Elder this disciple has accumulated around 50 to 60% of the basic knowledge accounting all the three levels of the Sect library that contain basic knowledge.” [Astra]

”Brilliant! What an astounding talent.  Amazing! It would have already if you had accumulated that amount to basic knowledge from on floor only but you managed to accumulate that vast knowledge on all the three floor in only th span of a week. Truly brilliant. Here take this token. With this token you'll be able to go till 6th floor of the library which is the limit of the peak inner sect disciple, and you can stay in it for as long as you want.” [Elder Zheng]

Elder Zheng, who couldn't contain his feelings and excitement walked up to Astra and handed him a crimson gold token probably only one of it's kind in the entire sect to Astra.

Astra smiled wryly and politely received the token from Elder Zheng.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the elders asked about hoe much knowledge Astra had accumulated, he had a look of pondering, but in his consciousness he was asking Leilana what he should reply with. Since he had accumulated complete 100% of basic knowledge on all the fields from all three floors as he possessed Leilana, The Library of Heaven's Path, but this thing was a secret that had to be kept from the world. So he had asked for Leilana for her opinion. After thinking around for a bit she told Astra to tell the elders that he had accumulated around 50 to 60% of the total on the three floors, this way he wouldn't embarrass himself despite being the possessor of Leilana and also would have a pretty decent evaluation by the elders.

But after what he said to the elders he wished that he had said something lesser perhaps around 20 - 30% or even 35%, but of all he had to say 50 - 60%. He sighed and let it go as there was no use fretting over spilled beans.
