"Apprentice…?" She blinked, totally not expecting this, especially when she just met the man.
Were the rumors about him false? Or…
She looked worried. What if it was an old man with wild moodswings? What if he decided she was annoying and blame her for the apprenticeship?
Her emerald eyes shifted to the old-but-strong-looking guard next to him.
He didn't seem like someone they could mess with.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Come and call me master!"
"..."
She looked at the Golds, silently asking if she should.
The Xenoan language had a different word to refer to master from an apprentice's point of view, and the Master and Grandmaster for everyone else. She knew this, and she wondered if she should really call him the former.
However, little did she know that if she was taken aback, then the rest of them were flabbergasted.
This… was the infamous Grandmaster Pharmacist Hoffen Astor?!
