The large building that held the sign, ' The Forgotten Sect', stood out from the rest, its 3 story structure made from dark, Iron Wood, made it a fortress in comparison to the other buildings, however without much concern, Aryan waltzed right in and headed towards what looked like a reception of sorts, where an older man dressed in familiar dark cloaks, was sat, seeing Aryan approaching he asked politely, "What can I do for you young man.", to which Aryan replied, "Hi, my name is Aryan and I wish to join your organisation to further improve my cultivation.", "We welcome all that wish to join. However you must first prove your talent, what is your current Body Perfecting Stage?", due to Aryans' young age the man assumed he must be at most, in the Body Perfecting Realm, seeing this as an opportunity to hide his true strength for the moment, "Aryan replied that he was at the peak of the Organ Strengthening Stage, to which the old man was excited to hear and quickly asked him to break a piece of wood that was many times harder than the average, which Aryan easily broke, he was then given a small piece of metal that had the number 3 engraved on it, he was told this represented his position in the organisation as the lowest, with the next being 2 then 1. He was then told that he would join a group leaving for the sect tomorrow with a few of the other new recruits, therefore after saying goodbye to the helpful old man he left the building and decided to wander the streets until the night arrived.
After a pleasurable sleep on the Pillow Of Serenity, Aryan returned to the Embassy where he met a group of 5, there were two teens much like Aryan who looked excited for the future as well as 3 familiar faces to Aryan, who the moment they saw him there faces turned to one of surprise, "Ah, welcome Aryan, you're in luck as you will have an elder and his two disciples from the sect joining you, who will be able to ensure your safety.", realising Aryan would be joining them a look of confusion appeared on their faces as they were sure Aryan was quite powerful, more powerful than a stage 3 recruit, however, Aryan quickly gave them a look that said he would explain everything in a minute, seeing this, the old man decided to give him a chance to explain once they were on their way. After greeting his company for the next while. Aryan and the rest left the city and began their journey, after travelling for about an hour, the oldest man finally turned to Aryan and asked, "Explain yourself.", seeing no point in lying as there was little it would matter now they were outside the city, Aryan explained what had happened, from first meeting Buzz Cut, to the recruit of his brother, the killing of his parents, the old man saving him, his eventual passing, his training for the last 3 years, and finally his reason for going to The Forgotten Sect, "Although you have probably guessed it, I am here to avenge my parents as well as see whether this is a suitable place for my little brother to train, and if not I shall take him and leave.", "I understand your feelings, but number 1, killing a recruit is a serious crime that I can't protect you from no matter the moral standing, and number 2, this is the best possible place for you little brother and I doubt you have the ability to take him from it, even if you wanted.", "Don't worry about it, this was not a request for help but a warning to not interfere if possible.", a look of dead seriousness appeared in his eyes, this was not a negotiable matter, "How arrogant.", an immature voice appeared from the young boy that was following Master Ian, however once again, Aryan just ignored him, pulled out his pillow, jumped up and before he fell asleep commanded it to follow Master Ian and do not disturb him unless something dangerous occurred, after walking for a while, the two recruits looked at Aryan in shock, how could he be sleeping at a time like this? While Master Ian and his two disciples just let out a self-deprecating sigh, isn't this just how he was travelling through the perilous forest, that caused even the sect master to be wary.
