Bab 446: Chapter 102.1 - Examination

You did well, Trainee Astron. How about becoming my disciple?"

Her eyes held a mix of curiosity and determination as she waited for my response. Despite my exhaustion, it seemed I had achieved what I essentially wanted. 

Dakota was someone with immense experience and skill; a chance to learn from her was going to be invaluable.

I nodded despite the pain coursing through my body. My arms felt like lead, and I could taste blood in my mouth, but I pushed through it.

Dakota's expression softened slightly, tossing me a potion. It seemed something about me had resonated with her this time. "Drink this."

I caught the potion and downed it quickly, feeling the healing properties work almost immediately.

"Rest up, Disciple," she said, checking her smartwatch. "It is now 7 A.M. You will have your examination at 9. Get something to eat and refresh yourself. You will need to put on a good show there if you don't want to embarrass Reina and me."
