"Show me your cultivation level."

"Ah." Though she is confused, she easily releases her strength and looks at the headmaster.

The headmaster is frowning but that is not visible since he is wearing his veil as usual.

"Red Sea Rank 5th layer in just 2 and half months? Not bad."

Shekki bows her head. "Thanking Master for his kind words."

"I will directly promote you as an inner disciple. Come."

"Come?"

The Headmaster used his sword and enlarged it. Step on it as he glances at her.

"Not yet coming?"

"C-coming!" Shekki stepped on the sword and it flew up. Shekki is so scared that she grabs at her Master's robe. Headmaster looks down. Though she can't see his face she is sure he is frowning. She wanted to let go but she fears she will fall and this unfeeling man will not catch her. Gander slaps Shekki's hand. Shekki almost fell but Gander helps her to be stable.

Shekki's hand is hurting from the slap but in her heart she is praising the Headmaster's benevolence.

They flew on top of the buildings and went straight to the headmaster's abode.

Shekki sees the familiar abode and almost all her blood wants to drop to her feet.

'Did he finds out about me sneaking here so he wants to eliminate me?'

She is praying deep in her heart that this is just her imagining things.

"From now on you will stay here."

Shocked, confused and bewildered.

Shekki can't really tell what to feel first.

"You will be my servant girl." He said.

"Eh?"

"And you will be responsible for the herbs in my herb garden." Headmaster continued.

"Excuse me...I don't get…"

The headmaster looks at her. "You got promoted as my servant girl, what are you going to say?" There are traces of anger in that voice.

Shekki trembles and bow cupping her hands in front.

"Thanking the Master for his benevolence!" She said hurriedly.

"Hmmm." The headmaster walks inside.

Shekki stood there in half a minute before she tearfully walked following him.

But instead of having her answers, she was welcomed with the headmaster's closed door.

She scratched her head and went to the next room. There he sees a man that looks like he belongs to the family of ice.

"I am…"

"Get out!"

The door was banged close.

Shekki wants to cry but who would listen to her cry?

She tries the next room and finds an older youth with imaginary fire around him. His eyes are glaring at her.

"......get out?" Shekki says while her lips are twitching.

There's a force that made her stumble and flew out his room and the door shut.

"That's it! I am just….just…." Shekki sighs. "Never mind." She refused to argue to people stronger than her.

Shekki shakes her head. The door to the next actually opens and the man inside looks at her. He has a kind and reliable aura. A perfect Senior brother in the cultivation novel.

"Senior!" She said as if she is very familiar with him.

"Yes?" The man smiles back.

Should I just put markings in everything? It makes me a bit happy doing it for no reason.
