****(POV)
I nervously go inside the kitchen.
This single instant will determine my future.
First, I should state my official purpose.
"Hello, I'm coming to deliver the gold from the sale of the gems!"
[Hey there! I'm right here.]
I head deeper.
There he is.
Apparently in the process of baking.
[Are you here for a rematch?]
There is no way I would!
I instantly slide to the ground.
I adopt a perfect kneeling posture and plead.
"Please accept me as your student!"
He ponders for a few seconds.
What feels like the longest seconds of my entire existence.
[I can, but you will have to work extremely hard.]
He agreed! This is amazing!
This right here is the moment I change my destiny.
In the future, my name will resound across this continent.
Everyone will envy and look up to me!
I'm ecstatic but I keep my tone serious.
"Of course!"
