Advancement Trials (Part 1)

While it was baffling how easy this so-called "Ceremony of truth" ended up going for me, I had nothing to complain about. The easier all the procedures would go, the better for me!

What was even most important was the fact, that during this ceremony, instead of directly requesting me to swear my life for the sect or actually make me promise anything, I was only asked if I'm ready to do so! As such, I didn't even need to bother with trying to understand how this entire process was working so that I could safely lie!

Following the gestures of the elders, I obediently approached them and bowed my head slightly in a sign of respect. 

"Thank you Elder, but there was nothing hard about it, so there is no point in praising me. It can only bring shame on me!"
