"Become your disciple?" Shang asked.

Shang remembered the Dean's other two disciples.

One was Vice-Dean Soran, and Shang knew him very well.

Then, there was that other girl. Shang had only seen her once, which was when she had watched Shang's exam.

If Shang remembered correctly, her name was Viera, and he also remembered that she had a crush on Soran.

"Yes," the Dean said. "To give you help more easily, you have to become my disciple. Of course, this won't just be a means to an end. I take my disciples seriously, and it is my duty to help them reach the True Path Stage."

Shang remained silent for a bit as he mulled over the decision.

Become the Dean's disciple?

"I agree," Shang said.

"Good," the Dean said with a nod. "Then, you are now my disciple."

Silence.

"That's it?" Shang asked.

"That's it," the Dean said. "I'm not one for procedures. Your status will be updated in the academy register soon. From now on, you have free access to the fifth floor of the main building, but don't try to abuse that privilege."

Shang nodded. "I won't."

"Then, for my first action as your master, I'll give you a gift."

SHING!

A green uniform appeared in the Dean's hands.

"You are now officially part of the special training program," the Dean said. "This is your new uniform. It can protect you from one deadly strike of a Mid General Stage beast or a Late General Stage warrior. In comparison to your current uniform, this uniform also extends its protection to your head."

"After blocking a deadly strike, it needs several minutes to refill its Mana, which means it only works once per fight. Keep that in mind," the Dean explained.

The Dean handed the uniform to Shang, and Shang's arms sunk by a lot.

It was heavy!

"Usually, this is only a uniform the Early General Stage students get since it would hamper the mobility of Initial General Stage warriors. The uniform weighs around 700 kg."
