Looking at Dean who had been standing there unmoving for a whole 3 minutes made Freya think if there was any problem with the meat she gave him earlier. She took another meat and put it inside her mouth to see if there were any problems with the meat.
The delicious flavor of the meat spread inside her mouth making her take another one, after eating the third one she draw a conclusion that there's truly no problem with the meat and the way it was cooked. Making her all the more confuse for the weird reaction Dean have on him.
The beautiful woman beside her didn't pay attention to him and continued just continued grilling the meat. Freya touched his right shoulder and said "You didn't like it?"
Dean was startled by her but almost instantaneously regained himself and answered her "No, it's not like that I was just appreciating the flavor of the meat, the taste was just so delicious it almost made me lose my other senses."
Giving her a bright smile he continued "Miss Freya about that job you were saying earlier?"
"Oh, that's right I almost forgot about that." She took out a little paper from her sleeves and handed out to him before continuing "Go to the place directed by the map I just gave you, I was asked to find them a helper and when I heard you're looking for a job earlier I thought I'd recommend you."
Listening to what she had said a disappointed look found its way to his way, seeing this look on his face Freya got curious and ask "You don't like to go? If you don't want to do it I can go and recommend someone else you know."
"No its nothing like that, I just remembered something unpleasant is all please do not worry about it. I will be going now, thank you for the grilled meat." and with that said he left.
Freya looked at his small back that was walking towards the back door, a smile flash on her face.
The beautiful lady that have been grilling the meat all this time finally lift her head and stared at Freya's smiling face, after observing her for a while she said "You like those younger than you Freya? It's not like I will hold it against you so go and do what you want I will support you."
Hearing her suddenly speak like this Freya was left to look at her face in surprise, then upon recollecting what she said to her a look of embarrassment appeared on her face before saying "It's not like that "Mother", I was just thinking how young he is and his already chased out by his family. Added to that his cultivation strength it would be extremely hard for him to live."
Freya's mother turned her head and looked at the door where Dean left before saying "Is that what you think?"
Freya was startled by her sudden question she gave it a thought as to why her mother suddenly ask this, but when she tried thinking of a reason she came up with nothing so she just gave her answer with a simple nod.
Her mother saw her answer and stood up, looking at her daughter she said "If that is what you think then your training must be lacking, go and find your father to train I will be the one looking after the inn for the time being." Taking all the meat she went inside the kitchen.
Freya was left there not knowing what's happening.

Following the map that was given to him by Freya, Dean found himself in front of a huge manor. He turned and tried around if he was on the right destination, after checking he found out that he truly was in the right place.
Raising his head Dean saw the gate that was around 5 meters tall held a sign that says "Black Turquoise Academy", he already saw this sign when he got there earlier but because he was rather doubtful he still tried asking around to see if he was in the right destination.
"Seems like I'm in the right place, the map only said it's a big establishment but I was not expecting something like this. Miss Freya actually have some connection with this place?" Dean stood in front of the gate.
Walking closer to the gate Dean saw 2 young men around 15 and 16 years of age. Both of them were wearing the same black clothing with a little turtle embroidery, the 2 also saw him walking towards their direction.
"Hey, kid what do you want? What business do you with the Black Turquoise Academy? If you're trying to enroll here then come back after a week, the enrollment period hasn't started yet." One of them shouted
Hearing what the young man said Dean continued to go forward, and seeing that he was continuing on one of them stepped forward and said "Hey kid I already told you the enrollment isn't happening until next week."
"Sorry about that I am not here to enroll, I came here to look for a man called Gilet." Dean said in a humble manner.
The 2 guard who was standing guard in front of the gate suddenly had a look of surprise on their faces, when they heard the name Gilet both of them started acting weird like they just heard something inconceivable.
"Is he here or not? If he's not then I will be on my way." Dean said in a calm manner.
The man who was quiet all this while spoke up "Master Gilet is here, but can I ask what you're here for? We are not to let anyone enter without any permission so we have to let our superiors that you want to enter, so can you tell us what your name is? And what you why you want to enter the academy grounds?"
"My name is Dean, and like I said earlier I am here to meet with Mister Gilet." Explained Dean.
"Alright, please wait for a minute." The guard took a green colored paper and wrote something on it, after he finish writing a pigeon came down and rested by his shoulders, the young man tied the green piece of paper on its little talons before letting it fly.
After some time the pigeon went back and with it was blue paper tied to its talon. The 2 saw the paper and took it, they opened the paper and upon reading the content both of them gestured to Dean "You're allowed to enter."
Dean moved and entered the academy, he didn't hesitate to enter and didn't hurry either. After passing through the gates Dean what welcomed him was a lady who had a mole near her eyes, seeing him enter through the gates the lady said "Are you Dean from the Lotus inn?"
"Yes I am." Dean nodded his head in confirmation.
"Follow me, Master Gilet is waiting for you."
Dean followed the lady without any delay, he was already knew that this Gilet person was not that simple, from the moment he saw the faces of the 2 guards when he mentioned his name Gilet already got a picture in his mind what kind of person this Gilet is.
In his mind he was already thinking whoever this man was he should have a high position in the academy, he can be someone who have the position of an executive officer, an elder, the vice academy head or even the academy head himself.
He was prepared to what will come to him, after walking around for 10 minutes the two of them reached a building that have the size twice as large than the Lotus Inn he was staying at –This guy truly is some rich man. –
They entered from the front door and continued onward, when they reached a particular pathway the Lady stopped from walking seeing her stopped on her tracks Dean also stopped. The Lady turned around and said to him "Master Gilet is on the garden, this pathway leads to him so please follow the pathway without making any detour, and I am not allowed to enter the garden so proceed on your own."
