Rewards

Before Elder May could continue the palace master spoke.

"This is not the place or time May, Alright, the spar is over and it is decided, Horo is now the First Honorary disciple of this generation and the first male Pseudo disciple in the history of our palace. Everyone disperse and continue on your daily matters." 

Everyone moved on the palace master's order without question, except a few elders. 

After everyone dispersed, the elders that were still present were casually chatting with the palace master while they had the chance. Horo was waiting on the side as he was told to by the palace master. 

Elder May approached the group and interrupted them.

"Oh what a party pooper you still are Eleanor, why couldn't you allow me to show my true personality for once." 

Horo was only checking out his other hybrid skill he never got the chance to, the [Murderous Demon Armer], when his interest was peeked by the name he heard and he honed in on their conversation. 

The palace master now also known by her real name as Eleanor, responded to what Elder May said "As you always say May, they aren't worthy."

May could hear the sarcasm in the palace master's voice but she just shrugged her shoulders and said "Yea your right, but that twerp isn't" then she walk over to Horo. 

....

The palace master just giggled and said "She's as straightforward as always."

One of the other elders present spoke up "Well it's been decades since all of us has been together like this, how about we catch a meal and reminisce about the old times."

The palace master responded with a smile "I wish I could Shin but I currently don't have the time, but we surely can focus on interacting more when we have the time to from now on."

Horo wasn't expecting to learn the palace master's real name, as well as the elders from the same generation as her.

While he was dividing his mind to listen to their conversation he was also entertaining Elder May who approached him as if he was a peer of hers.

....

She said while walking up "Ahhh what was it again, Horo right? We should hang sometime.

Horo was puzzled "Huh, hang?"

Elder May responded "Yeah hang, maybe you can show me your weird combat techniques, and I can teach you a couple of things in return."

Horo responded acting as if he was nervous "I'm sure there is nothing I can't teach such an esteemed elder like yourself Elder May"

She responded nonchalantly "Oh please, no need for all of the superfluous words young lad, I know much more about you than you could possibly think. Anyways go and receive your promised rewards from Eleanor then pay me a visit afterwards."

He asked excitedly "Where will I be able to find you Elder?"

She laughed hysterically and then said "Just go to any important building that requires protection and you'll see me."

She was gone before Horo could say anything else, he wondered when and how she disappeared because he didn't even blink, or did he?

Everyone present heard her fading voice though.

"Seeing as Eleanor has had a change of heart since this kid has showed up, I also agree that we should link up more often. You guys should thank the kid for returning her old personality."

Hearing what Elder May said the palace master blushed and rushed off with Horo. 

The other elders all face palmed as Elder Shin sighed and said "They both never really changed" 

....

Horo and the palace master returned to her personal palace. 

Elevora was waiting there and when they walked in she said "I've brought everything you requested grandmother. You must really have high expectations for him, seeing as you are rewarding him with such precious things over a simple spar."

The palace master "To be exact, I have high expectations for the choice you made, little Ella. Now give it to him and then escort him to his dwelling." 

After saying that the palace master entered a chamber behind her throne. 

She sat on a lofty bed and said, "Oh I hope you're right Ella, and I'm done holding on to the resentment and grudges."

....

Horo was sitting in his new room, that was inside his miniature palace in the clouds. 

He opened a small box that was given to him by Elevora. 

It was just a small pitch black ring. A space ring.

He put it on and it registered him as its owner using his soul signature. 

After he immediately knew of every item inside, and made them come out. 

There were five things. A scroll, a vial that held a bit of thick vibrant gold liquid, another vial that had a drop of thick shining white liquor, a book, and a piece of paper. 

He first picked up the paper and it was a list that had the items and their description on it. 

He didn't really need it since he could scan them with his module, which he did.

Horo was completely dumbfounded and surprised. He couldn't help but think "To think the palace master would give him such rewards, she must think highly on me."

Even Alma was surprised and excited "Father, to think that you would received such precious items that's really out of your league so soon, it looks like you made the right choice staying here.
