They made their way back across the expansive courtyard toward the direction of the mission hall.
After arriving, Elder Qin led him to a section of the hall which listed the missions tailored to the abilities of most Initiate Rank members.
Here, Elder Qin explained Lassim's new responsibilities and the mission hall system as it pertained to Initiate Rank disciples.
"As an Initiate Rank disciple, you are required to take on one mission every three months," he explained. "Failure to complete a mission within the timeframe will result in punishment and possible demotion back to servant rank. Since you've already been demoted once, your next time period as a servant will likely be doubled or even tripled. Do your best to not let it come to that."
Lassim listened intently and nodded in confirmation to the Elder's warning. The stakes were higher for a repeat offender, but he was hopeful that he wouldn't cause any issues again.
