There wasn't a big ceremony or anything, I just agreed to be her apprentice and that was that, similar to what happened with Director Fetra.
She then led me through the forest path, striding forward with the confidence of someone who has walked the same path several thousand times.
I followed behind her, keeping my eye out as I watched the forest around me, wondering if I would get the feeling of someone else spying on me just like before.
Without looking behind, Director Vesper spoke up, "You don't need to be so on guard, Apprentice Aster. There is no one else here on this island today aside from the two of us."
I looked around the trees, "There's no other creatures on the island?"
"Not at all."
I frowned at her words before narrowing my eyes at the darkness.
