(MC POV)
Elder Gong decided to suspend lessons for us today, opting to let us explore the Sect by ourselves instead.
He claimed that "To have an adventurous and inquisitive mind is the first step to cultivating" before promptly leaving.
I'm not sure if he actually meant what he said or he's just saying that to escape the responsibility of taking care of this little conflict here.
Since I've never been in this situation as a student, I don't actually know how the 'talent class' is inducted into the Sect normally.
And since I was supposed to be new here, I had to pretend to be as clueless about the place as they were, marvelling at every single thing we saw.
Not really difficult since they were too distracted by everything else around them anyway.
Except for that Tekiteh guy limping slowly behind us while clutching his stomach, I guess Brendan hit him harder than I thought.
When you find out things about yourself that you didn't know from a third party.
