Elena and Kavana go to meet the great elder, he lives in a modest house located on the mountain behind the tower. Elena felt her house was so beautiful because it was small, memorable adorable.
"Greetings great elder. This is Kavana and Elena, can we come in?" ask Kavana from outside the house.
"Come in" replied the great elder from within.
Because it's a stilt house, so Kavana and Elena have to climb up the stairs to the terrace. On the terrace was a great elder who was grinding wheat into flour.
"Sit wherever you like" he said without turning his eyes away from the mill.
"Grandfather, do you cook for yourself?" elena asked curiously.
The great elder smiled then he used his strength to create an illusion, an illusion to trap Kavana so that she would not hear what they were going to talk about.
"Forget about cooking. I'm curious about the ring on your finger, where did you buy it?" ask the great elder. This time he stopped his work and turned his eyes to look at Elena with a sweet smile.
Elena covered her ring and replied, "Grandfather, you look like a robber if so. Indeed my ring was that good until even a great elder was interested."
The great elder laughed at the reply, "Anyone who recognizes him will definitely be interested. That's a night sapphire gemstone, right?"
"Yes, I found it during the extermination of the goblins. Then I took the jewel and made it into a ring by one of my friends. Do you want to?"
"No, I don't want to accept something that's been used by someone else. That's a little dirty."
"I want to go home" Elena said, standing up from her seat.
The grand elder chuckled and then pulled Elena's hand, "This old man is just joking, sit down."
Elena sat back with her face in a bend. The grand elder smiled and dispelled his illusions, the conversation this time would involve Kavana.
"You won't get a retest because you're alone, the supervisor feels like a loss and a waste of time" the grand elder told Elena.
"Then how? he is a great star, without the test results he will not admit" said Kavana.
"Listen first. He will give me another test that I will score directly, with a grade from me then he will be recognized by anyone. How's Elena?" ask the great elder again.
"Of course I don't mind, it would be a good thing for me. I'm lucky" Elena replied.
"good. So the test was …." The great elder took out a small pouch from inside his robe, "Take this to the residence of the king of the gods."
"What?" yelled Elena and Kavana in unison.
"To the upper world? no kidding. Elena doesn't have a special right to go there yet, she hasn't even taken the first stage exam. What will the other elders say later?" ask Kavana.
"He's right. This has to be talked about first, I don't want to be looked down upon" Elena added.
Bugh!
The great elder smacked the heads of the two, "This is my order, are you not willing to take the exam? if you don't want to then forget about my orders, and get out of this land."
"I'll take it." Took the item that the great elder had given him.
"Good, you're pretty smart apparently. Then take that and leave it to the king of the gods, Kavana will come with you because the king of the gods only meets men so Kavana gives the item directly to him. Do you want it or not Kavana? or should I call another man?" ask the great elder.
"I'm going to go. Don't replace me with anyone" Kavana replied quickly. It's a chance he could be alone with Elena, and away from Louis.

"Why you? weren't you healthy yesterday?" kavana asked astonished that Elena's condition had worsened overnight. Elena didn't answer because she was busy with Louis last night.
A few hours ago.
After having dinner with Liana, Elena secretly went to Louis's room in the male dormitory. He walked around like a thief so as not to be caught by other dormitory residents.
Slowly he opened Louis's window, at which time Louis's room was pitch-black only the bathroom was illuminated by light. Elena wanted to give Louis a surprise so he went in and hid under the bed.
Not long after Louis came out of the bathroom humming, Elena could see his reflection from the lantern he was carrying. Suddenly the door was slammed from the outside by someone. Elena almost screamed for it.
"Rion, can you not slam the door when you open it?" louis asked, he seemed surprised too.
"Hehee. But your room is so fragrant, you shower with scented soap? wh why? is Elena coming?" rion asked Louis.
"When is it why? I used to shower with that soap a long time ago, you're the one who never kissed it."
"heeh. Did ya? why are your cheeks blushing? turns out Louis can be ashamed, too."
"Be quiet. I'm busy right now."
"Your clothes are a lot. Which one do you want to wear? I think blue suits you."
"Blue is suitable. But Elena likes black, so I'm gonna wear black."
"Hey Louis, is it right to do all this only women who don't love you? you think hard to look perfect in front of him, then how's he?"
"This is your difference with me. For me the love of one person is enough to make a relationship close, no matter what he wants in front of me. But I want to be perfect for him, I don't want him to go to another heart or go back to the old heart."
"For you will be near. Unfortunately it is just a thought, it takes 2 hearts to build a relationship to always be good. If there is only one heart struggling, then what happens? you know without needing me to say. You better learn to live without thinking about Elena, because you don't know her heart. Either he'll hang with you or leave you someday."
"I will still love her even if I have to repeat this life to stay with her, then I won't hesitate," Louis replied to Elena's surprise.
"Repeating lives?" elena thought long again.
"Louis, do you keep clothes under the bed?" ask Rion, "Look! there's a red cloth in there."
"Where?" Louis turned his gaze to the bed and approached his bed.
"What is this fabric?" Louis peeked under the bed and was surprised to see Elena down there.
"Surprise!" elena whispered a big smile making Louis' face flushed red.
"Did you hear everything?" louis asked in a whisper, Elena looked the other way and nodded slowly.
Louis quickly stood up and he took his clothes and went into the bathroom, before long he came out in neat clothes. Then he pulled Rion out of his room and locked the door from the inside. He couldn't help his embarrassment right now, let alone when Elena crawled out from under the bed making Louis even more embarrassed.
