"Not yet," Ye Jiao replied. She had just arrived yesterday. When would she have the time to pick a master?
"In that case, do you want to be my disciple?"
Everyone at the scene was stunned when they heard that question. The man before them was not an ordinary teacher. He was the vice leader of this academy, which meant that his position was only second to the leader. Becoming his disciple meant that they would be able to get a much higher position.
Ye Jiao looked back to Shen Dian. She tilted her head. "My apologies, but can I know your specialization, Teacher Shen Dian?"
Shen Dian smiled. "I'm Eon Energy Master with a wind element and enhancement path."
Two specializations!
Lu Wan's jaw dropped so wide as he was surprised. He had heard that it was rare for anyone to develop two paths at the same time. However, in front of him, he had just seen a master with two different paths at the same time.
This made him rather envious of those who had more than one talent.
Ye Jiao blinked her eyes and bowed. "In that case, I'm sorry, but I have to reject you, Teacher Shen Dian."
Reject?
The others were surprised by Ye Jiao's decision. She was so decisive!
"Oh, why is that?"
"That's because it's not suitable with my path," Ye Jiao explained.
Shen Dian looked back at Ye Jiao directly. From the examination result that Elder Qian sent to him, he found out that the young lass was tested to not have any specific talent at all. Those without any specific talent could just pick whatever path they wanted. After all, it was both blessing and curse.
It was clear that the young girl in front of him already picked her path, and thus, she would not carelessly pick a teacher.
"I see."
Lin Cai tilted her head. "What do you want to learn, Ye Jiao?"
"I want to learn fire elements," Ye Jiao replied.
"There's no fire element teacher in this academy."
"Sorry?"
Shen Dian sighed and repeated. "There's no fire element teacher in this academy. Even if there's one, he's not suitable to teach you."
Those who were fire elements were still Eon Energy Master Rank 4. Not a single one of them had reached rank 5. Some of them were close to a breakthrough, but it wouldn't be easy to ask them to teach her. The other teachers were already dead as fire element was fairly rare in this place.
"I see." Ye Jiao was not too surprised.
Shen Dian sighed and messed up Ye Jiao's hair. "Why did you suddenly pick fire element? I'm sure that you don't have talent in this element."
"Well, yeah," Ye Jiao scratched her cheek.
Lin Cai hugged Ye Jiao's arm. Her large eyes were staring straight at Ye Jiao. "Then, why? You can pick others too! The wind is also great because you can learn how to move fast and it's very compatible with your weapon."
"She's aiming for the next element after the fire." Qin Zheng pulled Lin Cai away and pushed her to the side.
"What?"
"Next element?" Lin Cai tilted her head. "But the intermediate element from fire element is either light or lava…"
"I'm aiming for a light element," Ye Jiao admitted. She was originally still unsure because she didn't know the intermediate element after the basic ones, but the book that Qin Zheng showed to her allowed her to know their path. After the fire element was the light element, and she guessed that she must have talent in this element.
Shen Dian frowned. "Light element is one of the rarest elements picked because it's hard to train them. In addition, it's a bit of a passive element that's mostly used by supporters."
"I think it's suitable for me," Ye Jiao replied.
"Follow me. The others may come if they want."
Everyone followed after Shen Dian to his office. It was located in a tall tower deep in the academy. Only those who were his disciples or had some business with the principal or him could enter.
Lu Wan looked around him with astonishment. He couldn't believe that they could enter this place on the second day they arrived in this academy.
"Stop looking around," Lin Cai berated.
"What? It's my first time here."
"But you're so obvious!"
"Ugh, just leave me alone."
They entered a spacious office, and Shen Dian sat down on his chair. Shen Dian used his Eon Energy to cover his entire body. Afterwards, he pulled out an orb from his drawer and infused Eon Energy inside.
"You might want to close your eyes."
At that moment, all of them could feel the temperature in the room rise, and the orb showed brilliant light that almost blinded them.
"Master, what's this?"
"My eyes!"
Qi Huan also closed his eyes for he was unable to withstand the sudden light. Qin Zheng turned around as he didn't want to hurt his own eyes. Only Ye Jiao was the one who still stared at the orb. She could faintly see a layer in front of her that allowed her to see past the light.
It was as if the light in front of her was giving her a way and warmth at the same time.
Shen Dian watched Ye Jiao's behaviour as astonishment passed by his eyes. He stopped infusing Eon Energy and sighed. "You already know that you have innate talent in the light element, little lass?"
"I just guessed." Ye Jiao scratched her cheek.
Lin Cai opened her eyes and looked at her teacher. She was surprised to see beads of sweat formed on Shen Dian's forehead. "Master! Are you alright?"
"He's just exhausted," Qin Zheng pulled Lin Cai before she could get close to her master. "Using Light Orb consumes 10 times more Eon Energy if you're not the light element. Even for someone at peak rank 5, they won't be able to turn it on for more than a few seconds."
A few seconds?
Qi Huan frowned. Shen Dian used that orb for barely two seconds before he stopped giving Eon Energy. He eyed the orb with confusion as he didn't understand how come this thing needed so much Eon Energy.
"This is a lifesaving Eon Energy Treasure for light elements because they can create one second time to run away. When it's activated, the light will cause you to be blind for a few seconds if you're not careful," Shen Dian explained. He looked at Ye Jiao. "I'll ask the teacher to teach you this element after you have passed the basic element class."
"Thank you, Teacher Shen Dian!" Ye Jiao beamed.
"Now you can leave. Qin Zheng, you stay behind."
"Aww, ok, Master."
"Yes, Teacher Shen Dian."
After everyone had walked out, Shen Dian looked at Qin Zheng. "Have you known about this before?"
"No, I don't," Qin Zheng replied with a smile. "I just guess that she must have innate talent of at least an intermediate element."
"How do you come to that conclusion?" Shen Dian took the glass water and took a sip.
"She also formed her core when she was eight years old."
Spurt! *cough* *cough*
"What did you say?" Shen Dian looked at Qin Zheng with disbelief. He knew that those with S talent could form their core at nine. However, only those who had innate talent could possibly form their core at an even faster rate because Eon Energy would naturally get attracted to their body.
And those intermediate elements were even faster at the beginning, yet they would make progress slow in the middle.
"Why did you not tell the elders?"
"I didn't think it's necessary," Qin Zheng shrugged. "Elder Qian still prized her after all."
Shen Dian: "…" if she picked other academies because she felt dissatisfied, he would gladly beat up this student.
"You're… truly a troublemaker, Qin Zheng."
Qin Zheng grinned mischievously. "Don't you already know that, Elder Shen? I always try to match your expectation."
The words only made Shen Dian wish to roll his eyes. What expectation? It was more like Qin Zheng was trying to destroy all kinds of expectations that he had for this disciple to be able to live in peace in the academy. He waved his hand. "You can go."
"Ok."
After Qin Zheng left, Shen Dian sighed and leaned back against his chair. This was not the first time someone with intermediate element talent entered this academy, but every time they appeared, it would mean trouble.
Their enemies would never let them grow up safely.
