"What is your decision, Junior Apprentice Colin?" Lillian asked.
Her expression was calm, ready to accept Colin's decision to change mentors.
Colin had joined under Atbolde's guidance only four months ago... If he chose to stay, that would be the oddity.
After all, to put oneself in his shoes, staying would mean losing the possibility of enhancing the quality of his Talent, as well as future resources... Who would want to take such a risk that could affect their future?
Watching Colin's silent demeanor, Lillian sighed inwardly and added,
"Junior Apprentice Colin, don't feel pressured. Water flows downhill; people climb to higher places. It's the most common thing in the world."
Colin was slightly startled; he was just grateful that he hadn't joined the Alus Association and was a bit distracted.
"Sister Apprentice Lillian," he hurriedly said, "I don't plan to change my mentor. I will continue to stay."
