Arthur glanced at the direction the sound came from, yet it was in a high leveled balcony; so he didn't see the features of that elder quite well.
"It hasn't happened before, but that doesn't mean it's prohibited," Mr. E spoke with a high tone, "so we can't blame the boy for being greedy."
"Yet he has to know this comes with great responsibility," one of the elders said; a woman she was, "each master here has a long list of weekly assignments. He has to finish them, either alone or with the help of his team."
Mr. E didn't reply, as he glanced at Arthur who instantly said: "I understand the stakes and am ready to shoulder the responsibility."
"You heard the boy," and this time Slone couldn't hold himself back anymore, "he promises to be a good lad and do all the tasks required."
"You can't go easy on him or favor him because he has many masters," another elder spoke, warning the four masters on the platform. "Our academy has a reputation to guard," he added.
