Chapter 2056 - Ceremony (1/2)
”You are being conferred as the Grand Master of Healing at the hands of Grand Commander.” Mother said softly as she looked at me with shocked eyes.
”It is just a title mom, its no big deal,” I said. ”No big deal? Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a title of Grandmaster, especially in healing?” She asked.
”Grandmaster of Healing is a title that is hardest to earn in all the fields, and even Grandmaster level healers don't get this title; they have to earn it in their long lifetime, while you have earned it barely into twenty-one years,” Mom said with a tear-streaked face as she touched my cheek with her hand.
I know the title is a big deal, and to be honest, I had not expected I would get it officially this early. Only Pyramid could give this title, and it does not give it easily; healers toil lifetime and not get, this including some Grandmaster level healers.
This conferment is done in warring times, and it is done by a Grand Lord, so it is a big deal, and also it is being done in secrecy. There are very people who will come to know about it, and it will be kept secret till I become strong enough to hold the weight of the title against the machinations of the Grimm Monsters.
”It looks like Marina had taught you well,” Mom said, and I couldn't help but nod at that. Whatever achievement I have got in my healing arts is all because of the teacher. If not for her, I wouldn't be a healer, much less getting conferred with the title of Grandmaster of healing.
”Dinner is ready,” My father announced suddenly and soon, all of us sitting at the table. ”Congratulations, son, your conferment Grandmaster title is big news for the whole family; I couldn't tell you how proud I am of you,” My father said.
”Thank you, father,” I said.
”I also have news to share,” Mom said softly, and her expressions turned serious. ”I will be leaving for a mission in two weeks,” She said, shocking father and me both.
”What? This early, you have not even reached the Leader class yet?” father asked back. ”The conditions have changed; the Grand Commander wanted me on the field as soon as possible,” She said.
While we may be residing in a safe place that makes us forget about war that is happening outside, we can not escape the reality of it. Sooner rather than later, we have to enter the field, it is especially for a people like a mother who had one most enviable ability and most suited for certain tasks, she is the only person that could do some of them.
”Don't worry about me; I will not be alone; a very powerful Grandmaster will be with me,” Mother said, but that did not elevate my worries.
The rest of dinner went in silence with little conversations. I went back to my room after dinner and made a few calls and sent some invitations before I went to my core before sleeping a few hours later.
