Seven days later, in the evening.
When Astar was listening to Lucien’s explanation of his understanding of the books that he read in the past week, Astar casually patted the cat, Mercedes, who looked rather relaxed and was making a low gentle grunt in her throat.
After Lucien finished his words, Astar elegantly applauded and nodded, "Good, very good, Evans. Within only seven days, you can already apply the principles to real life and draw the connections between the laws and some magic models. That’s impressive. I’ll give Brook Meditation to you, as I promised."
After dinner, since Lucien and the rest of the apprentices were about to leave later tonight, Astar asked Lucien a couple of arcana questions, and Lucien’s perfect answers really impressed him.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Astar." Lucien smiled.
He never tried to hide his talent, since once he arrived in Allyn he knew he would try his very best to improve.
