Professor Parker smiled even wider, "So you have not had any private teacher. I might not be the best Alchemist in this college but I am definitely one of the top ten. If you are under my tutelage, I promise your path would be even brighter, Zane, become my disciple."

Professor Parker rubbed his stomach, "Of course, I believe with proper guidance, you would achieve many great deeds in the field of alchemy."Zane smiled widely and then his smile fell, "I am sorry, I forgot, I am not allowed to accept masters or personal teachers without the approval of the family. I would write to my father immediately after he gets back from the dungeon, I think he would agree." Professor Parker was confused, "Your father?"

Zane nodded a little more slowly, "Andre Valois."
