"Just call me Mara. We're both level-3 apprentices. I don't deserve the extra respect now." Mara gave Angor a sad look. "Trust me, it won't be long before I need to call you 'Mister Angor'."
Angor was taken back a little. He used "Mister Mara" both unconsciously and to obey his noble discipline—he had forgotten that he was not the powerless mortal kid from several years ago.
"I was lucky to find a brilliant teacher who can guide me." Each time Angor didn't know how to respond to such flattery, he'd just make an "excuse" that he had too much luck.
"Luck, huh?" Mara let out a hollow chuckle.
Within two years, a mortal young man turned into a top-level apprentice as well as a future master alchemist…
If this could be explained by a single word called "luck", then the whole path of wizardry would be a huge joke.
