"I came on behalf of Grand Elder Giles to bring you some news. Unfortunately, there is a rule that members of the big elite clans can't get a master in the Alchemy Division, thus you can take only a regular elder as your master."
Michael said with an apologetic tone to Ken. He thought it was a shame to neglect such a talented disciple, but the grand elder's decision was final.
"I don't believe you didn't run a background check on me. My clan and I don't have the best relationship," Ken grimaced when he heard his easy path to knowledge was closed.
"You're right, but blood is thicker than water; we don't know whether your relationship with them will improve in the future."
"I see. But I still get the normal access to knowledge and resources that any other alchemist gets, right?"
"Yes."
