It's the end of the year. That meant it's time for us to be allocated our future positions. I would most probably either be asked to join the government or the military.
"It's nearly this time of the year. That means I have the name list for apprentices who are selected by the head family to stay working in the manor. For those whose names are not called, you have to attend the evaluation tomorrow. It'll be a selection for guards and soldiers," Master Fu said solemnly.
Nobody really cared since the names he called out were going to be his star pupils anyway.
He then began to call out names, as expected many of which his star pupils. It was nearly the end of the list when he said, "The last apprentice, Arina."
I widened my eyes in shock. I didn't expect that. Who selected me?
"Arina!" I collected my wooden plaque that indicated my identity as a member of Ivory Manor and my assignment letter from Master Fu.
Master Fu left soon after that.
