328 The Central Division (1/2)
”Alright, I will break how things work out for new tournament recruits such as yourself. Firstly, you get the basic treatment of choosing a division to join according to your attribute, which is the final step that will finalize your status as an inner member of the Elemental Blade.”
”Of course, since you are a dual element holder, you get to choose which of the two divisions you are eligible for that you will join, with that you get the natural perk of joining a division, which is being able to choose one technique tome from their library. This is obviously the preferential treatment of a tournament recruit, as normal recruits will have to start from the very bottom as inner members, only training in basic weapon and elemental arts and doing tasks till they are eligible to take the test to join one of the main divisions…”
”Can the token that I received allow me to choose a technique tome from another division?” Clara finally broke her silence as she asked.
”Naturally! Since it's a token within the top 10 ranks, it can allow you to do so, if you join my Wind Pavillion, you can still ask me to bring you one technique tome from the 'House of Fire' using that token, you will also receive an elite member status as a side gift from me,” Wind said as he was obviously trying to tempt Clara to join the Wind Pavillion…
'Well, that's quite the bait…'
Thanks to the small booklet, I already knew what the elite member status meant, it was a small upgrade from the inner member status which allowed apprentices to seek guidance from the elders so that it's easier for them to master the techniques they learn from the tomes.
There was also another benefit to it, giving the member a deeper access to the information collected by the intelligence division, which contained locations of dark nests and other training grounds.
”Then I choose to join the Wind Pavillion,” Clara's eyes sparked for a second as she made a quick choice, it wasn't hard to tell that the offer of receiving the elite status seemed to be the main reason behind her choice.
It would have been very natural of her to choose the Wind Pavillion since the core art of 'Raging Wind' was the wind element, but for some reason, I felt like she only chose to join to get the elite status instead.
'Well, it's not my business anyway, I have my own stuff to care about, at least it's better than joining the House of Fire…'
Clap!
”You have made the right choice, go to the next room and show them your token and they will settle your status along with the paperwork, you can wait for me after you are done, and I will take you with me to pick a tome from our library and guide you once outside of your monthly quote,” Wind spoke delightly as he seemed to be happy for securing one of the recruits.
It did seem a bit strange that he was the first to provide his offer, but I guess that maybe his privilege for acting as the representative this time, and well, being given guidance by the division head himself already seemed like the highest offer that could be given anyway.
