Omni-Mastery 328 The Central Division

"Of course, since you are a dual element holder, you get to choose which of the two divisions you are eligible for that you will join, with that you get the natural perk of joining a division, which is being able to choose one technique tome from their library. This is obviously the preferential treatment of a tournament recruit, as normal recruits will have to start from the very bottom as inner members, only training in basic weapon and elemental arts and doing tasks till they are eligible to take the test to join one of the main divisions…"

"Can the token that I received allow me to choose a technique tome from another division?" Clara finally broke her silence as she asked.

"Naturally! Since it's a token within the top 10 ranks, it can allow you to do so, if you join my Wind Pavillion, you can still ask me to bring you one technique tome from the 'House of Fire' using that token, you will also receive an elite member status as a side gift from me," Wind said as he was obviously trying to tempt Clara to join the Wind Pavillion…

'Well, that's quite the bait…'

Thanks to the small booklet, I already knew what the elite member status meant, it was a small upgrade from the inner member status which allowed apprentices to seek guidance from the elders so that it's easier for them to master the techniques they learn from the tomes.

There was also another benefit to it, giving the member a deeper access to the information collected by the intelligence division, which contained locations of dark nests and other training grounds.

"Then I choose to join the Wind Pavillion," Clara's eyes sparked for a second as she made a quick choice, it wasn't hard to tell that the offer of receiving the elite status seemed to be the main reason behind her choice.

It would have been very natural of her to choose the Wind Pavillion since the core art of 'Raging Wind' was the wind element, but for some reason, I felt like she only chose to join to get the elite status instead.

'Well, it's not my business anyway, I have my own stuff to care about, at least it's better than joining the House of Fire…'

Clap!

"You have made the right choice, go to the next room and show them your token and they will settle your status along with the paperwork, you can wait for me after you are done, and I will take you with me to pick a tome from our library and guide you once outside of your monthly quote," Wind spoke delightly as he seemed to be happy for securing one of the recruits.

It did seem a bit strange that he was the first to provide his offer, but I guess that maybe his privilege for acting as the representative this time, and well, being given guidance by the division head himself already seemed like the highest offer that could be given anyway.

"Now, it's time to discuss your special status…" 

Wind deviated his attention to me after Clara nodded and left the room…

"Just like I told you, when I notified the sect master about your tri-attribute, he decided to give you the chance to immediately contend for the position of being his third personal apprentice, which means you will naturally be part of the central division, which houses the multi attribute holders who have proven themselves worthy of fighting for the position of being the apprentices of the sect master."

"I'm pretty sure you are already aware about the nature of the Elemental Blade, the versatility of all elements makes our abilities as a whole sect encompassing in several fields, as such, one of the main conditions one had to satisfy in order to become the sect master was having more than one element, which is why only those who have multi attributes are able to climb into the central division that is supervised by the sect master himself!"

"So I can meet the sect master easily once I join the central division?"

As meeting the sect master was part of the important steps that I had in my plan, it would mean that a part of the estimated time I had to spend could be skipped, which would naturally be good news to me.

"It's not that easy, but it should be easier for you as you had already skipped the step of having to go through the normal division like the other candidates had to do."

'As expected…'

"Then, can I use my token to request an audience with the sect master?"

"It's not like you can't, but doing so doesn't mean that he will actually consider your words, at most you would get to ask him to deliver your one wish, of course, you can't wish for the position of a personal apprentice itself, it has to be earned… Why are you so concerned about meeting the sect master anyway?" Wind questioned as he looked towards me with curiosity.

"It's natural that I would want to receive guidance from the sect master himself since I have hit a personal wall regarding the use of multi elements together…" I threw out a suitable reason that wouldn't make Wind too suspicious in hope I would get what I wanted…

"Well, it's true that the best person who could help you in the field of multi-tasking elements would be the sect master, however, although the sect master seems to value you a lot, he can't just give you obvious preferential treatment like this even if you used the token, but that doesn't mean there is no way you can get to meet him sooner with the help of the token…"

"What do I have to do…?"
