6 Are All High Level Cultivators Eccentric? (1/2)
Thursday, October 27th 6:00 am:
Yu Chang finished doing the dishes after eating breakfast and stored the dishes with the rest of his belongings inside Falling Star's pendent. With that, he took one last look at the apartment he had been living in for the past year before picking up his bag and heading out the door.
Meanwhile, in Falling Star's house, Falling Star was fretting about what to wear. Two dresses floated in the air as she paced about her bedroom. ”I really like the white one, but it looks more like a wedding dress than a formal gown. That leaves only the red one.” With her mind made up after several hours of pondering over the various dresses she had to choose from, the white dress floated back towards a bedroom-sized closet. The red dress remained floating in the air as she neatly placed the white one back on a rack.
City A High School 7:00 am:
The halls were eerily quiet compared to their normal level of organized chaos. Only about a third of the students who normally show up at 7 am were there. Yu Chang decided to ask a random student in the hall what was going on. ”Do you know where everyone is?”
”They went to Senior Falling Star's press conference. All the seniors and juniors were given the option to go instead of coming to morning class. Only a small number of them were actual candidates to become her disciple; the rest just went to get out of class. Speaking of, why are you here Senior Yu? You should be one of the top candidates of the school with your grades, right?”
”Truth is I didn't apply. Not only that, I've been in the hospital all week, so I didn't know about the press conference.” Yu Chang sighed. 'It's lucky I didn't go, I would have been pulled into the conference knowing Master. I'd rather not be the center of attention… I really hope she doesn't grandstand when she comes for me this afternoon…' Yu Chang thought these things after considering his interactions with Falling Star the previous night. ”Do you happen to know where Instructor Song is at the moment?”
”Eh? She should be in her office. You trying to get last-minute approval to go to the conference?” The young female student got an envious look in her eyes.
”No, I just need to turn in this absentee note from my master.”
”Senior Yu, you already have a master? Who is it who is it? Is it someone famous?” Hearing that Yu Chang already had a master, she felt a bit relieved because she assumed it was not her idol Falling Star.
”Well the paperwork is not finalized yet, so I probably shouldn't reveal it. Regardless, I'm sure you'll hear about it soon enough. Anyways, I should probably get this note to Instructor Song, thank you for your assistance fellow classmate.”
Yu Chang walked the somewhat empty halls of the school and arrived at Instructor Song's office and knocked on the door.
”Come in.” Came the call from the other side.
Yu Change opened the door and went in. ”Instructor Song, I was instructed by my master to give you this note explaining my absence this week.” Yu Chang handed the instructor the note that Falling Star had written the night before.
