Sevir knew that the master’s face will change behind Bailong’s back. The speed of the change still surprised him.
Bailong didn’t have long distance hearing, unlike himself, and the master knew this. Within 10 steps of Bailong walking back into the tunnel, the master came towards him. Sevir set the large stone down where it was supposed to go and received the man's eye to eye.
“You are not ordinary. You can hide your beast mark from his highness, but you cannot fool me. I have been training dragons since before your existence in some insignificant womb.”
People around him paused momentarily and then kept going, turning into shadows they were training to be. The master turned around and started walking. “Follow me. Today, we will test your limits. If you can truly mask his highness’s spirit affinity, we must train you differently.”
