Chapter 20: Elder Eagor's thoughts

# Extra chapter (2) for reaching 250 power stones.

'Smack'

'Aargh'

What he received for acting all mysterious was a smack on his head that made him shout in pain.

Henrick didn't even see which hand the Elder had used to hit his head as it was very fast to notice.

"Now stop acting mysterious and answer my question; otherwise, see what I will do you," Elder Eagor, with a small smile on his face, said to Henrick.

"Okay okay...I will say," Henrick rubbed the back of his head where he was hit by the Elder and continued, "I have a cultivation abode in the higher region in the outer sect."

While saying that, a proud look appeared on Henrick's face which made the Elder Eagor raise his brows with a surprised look.

'As expected, I did a good job in forcing him to attend the outer sect disciple assessment,' Elder Eagor was happy inside his heart as he sensed that Henrick had some good affinity with the fire element. So, that's why he forced him to attend the assessment.

'Smack'

For the proud look on his face, Henrick received another smack from the Elder and he still could not see which hand the elder had used to hit him.

"Stop showing that proud look on your face and remember that you didn't even start your cultivation yet," After that smack, Elder Eagor lectured him not to be proud so soon and continued, "I thought you would become the personal disciple of the outer sect leader...sigh. What a disappointment."

Elder Eagor acted as though he was disappointed with Henrick's assessment.

"Elder Eagor, don't be disappointed. He already became the personal disciple of the outer sect leader," While he was acting, Elder Eagor heard another voice from a distance and looked at it.

From that direction, a young man came forward and bowed to him before continuing, "Just as you expected, he has become the personal disciple of the sect leader."

The young man was none other than Nick.

"Huh?" Elder Eagor raised his brows as he didn't believe his words and looked at Henrick before mockingly said, "And what you will say, he has also become the personal disciple of the outer sect leader, right?"

"Exactly, he and I are both chosen by the outer sect leader to be his personal disciples and were given the cultivation abodes that are closer to the sect leader's building," Henrick didn't notice the mock on the Elder Eagor and excitedly replied to him.

"Yes, yes Elder. What Henrick said is absolutely right," Nick backed Henrick's words with an excited tone.

"Did you brats hit your head onto something in the mountain or what?" Elder Eagor didn't believe them as he thought both of them were playing with me. So, he angrily scolded them.

"We are saying the truth, Elder," Henrick and Nick hurriedly replied to him when they saw that the Elder was becoming serious.

"Okay...if they also say the same thing I will believe you," Finally, Elder Eagor saw the other working disciples who went for the assessment along with Henrick and pointing his finger at them, he replied to Henrick and Nick.

"Sure, Elder," Henrick and Nick nodded their heads as they smiled inside their hearts as they knew that the truth would be known sooner.

'I wonder, what expression he will have when knew the truth,'

This was their only thought while looking at the newly promoted outer sect disciples.

"Hey brats, did these two became the personal disciples of the outer sect leader?" Elder asked with a serious expression on his face that made the disciples shiver.

"Yes, Elder. The sect leader personally asked them to become his personal disciples," All the disciples said in unison that made the Elder Eagor shocked.

"Okay. You can go and eat now,"

Nevertheless, he suppressed his emotions and asked them to leave.

"See. We are saying the truth from the beginning," Both Henrick and Nick immediately bragged about their achievements.

"Enough of your bragging. You didn't become the personal disciple of the main sect leader. So there is nothing to be proud of," Elder Eagor was happy for them but he wanted them not to become arrogant with their little achievement and continued to scold them.

"..."

Henrick and Nick, both became speechless at the Elder Eagor's words and shook their heads.

"Anyway, go and eat before taking rest for today. From tomorrow, you will start your cultivation journey. So, you will not get any break. Enjoy while you can have the chance to enjoy. Once you enter the Twin fire mountain, you will be busy even coming down the mountain," Elder Eagor said everything he wanted to say in a single breath.

"Don't worry Elder, I will come down to see you whenever I have time," Henrick knew that the Elder just wanted them not to get arrogant and lose the focus on cultivation.

"Huh? Even if you come here I will not meet you anyway, so you better not come down the mountain," Elder Eagor seriously said before going back into his room.

Henrick and Nick looked at each before going into the dining hall to eat and then went to rest their final day in their dormitories.

Back in the special room in the dining hall,

'Gamos, why did you show interest in the outer sect assessment all of a sudden and even took two personal disciples into your tutelage?'

Elder Eagor sat on his chair and muttered while looking at the 'Twin fire mountain'.

'Did you finally reach a bottleneck in your cultivation?' He continued to think about the outer sect leader as though he was his best friend.

'Anyway, I see you have a good eye for the talents. I will see how they will grow in your tutelage. I hope you will not disappoint me...hehe.'

Finally, Elder Eagor turned his attention from the mountain to the dormitories working disciples.

'Henrick, you too don't disappoint me,' After saying that he closed his eyes and entered into his mediation.
