Half a day later, Mira was back in front of the ancient building with Dominique, Rhydian, Vulcan, Alicia, and the others. It took her a bit longer than expected to bring them all to the Outer Court since they had just entered the Foundation Realm not too long ago.
Luckily, it didn't take her too long to convince them that she was Mira. Though, it was mainly Rhydian and Vulcan that gave this away, along with her crimson eyes that seem to radiate killing intent. There can only be so many coincidences, so it was relatively easy to convince Alicia and the others. In fact, Alicia knew she was Mira as soon as they met.
Alicia had also successfully gathered all of the other members of Mira's little army, so they were able to leave immediately as soon as Mira showed up to fetch them.
When they showed up at the Outer Court, Mira immediately took them to the ancient building to get them registered.
After that, they each received a pair of green robes and a medallion, then the receptionist brought out a device that was supposed to search their memories in order to see if they had anything against the Sect.
Mira was still skeptical about this process, but it was actually much simpler than she thought it was. All they had to do was press a small device up to their forehead and leave it there for a few seconds. If they held any ill-intent towards the Sect, the device would flash red; if they didn't, it would flash green.
After about an hour, everyone was tested and showed green lights. They were then told to write down their names in a book and stamp it with a bloody fingerprint.
Upon being asked why they needed to do that, the receptionist told them that it was to keep track of their achievements, the jobs they've done, their ranking among other Trial Disciples, and the merit points they've accumulated.
She also said that Mira would have to go through the same thing when she finishes creating her residence and officially registers.
After all that, the receptionist handed each of them a small plaque that looked something like this:
[Trial Disciple Plaque
Name:
Ranking:
Active Missions:
Number of Completed Missions:
Merit Points Available:
Total Merit Points Accumulated:
Duels(W/L):
Years in the Sect:]
This plaque allowed the disciples to better keep track of their progress within the Sect and can also act as a form of identification.
Mira and the others were pleasantly surprised at how well organized everything was. Well, this was also a good thing for them.
Anyways, after everyone finished registering, the receptionist gave Mira two collars that she needed to put around Rhydian and Vulcan's necks to signify that they belonged to someone.
Finally, after all that, Mira could bring them to the little valley she and Maria decided to live.
Alicia, Dominique, and the others were amazed at how beautiful the Outer Court was. It felt like it was full of life! The grass was a vibrant green, the air was clean, the Qi was dense, and the environment seemed relatively untouched despite humans living here.
When they reached the little valley, although it was covered in fog, they still felt the environment.
"Is this where we are going to be living from now on, Mother?" Dominique asked with wide eyes.
"That's right. We'll probably be living here for a while, so get comfortable. Though, you'll probably be pretty busy starting next week." Mira answered.
"Don't worry, Mother! I'll work hard to get stronger so I can help you with your missions!"
"Hahaha~ Don't worry about that. Your mother can take care of herself. For now, you should just focus on building a good foundation. If I really need help, I can just ask your Aunty Maria." Mira chuckled.
Dominique pouted but didn't say anything else. She knew her mother was right, but she still felt dissatisfied that she wouldn't be able to help her anytime soon.
Mira didn't think too much about it and instead brought them over to where Maria was currently creating a cave big enough to put a small palace inside.
Surprisingly, Maria made quite a bit of progress in the time Mira was gone. Although the cave she excavated wasn't big enough to fit a house inside yet, it was at least big enough for a small family to live in comfortably.
Sensing that Mira was back, Maria came out of the cave with a smile on her face. She talked with Mira, Dominique, Alicia, and the others for a while before taking charge of the excavation process.
Mira, Rhydian, and Vulcan are going to be the backbone of this operation as they are more suited to excavating a cave with their strength and build. Meanwhile, Alicia and the other women will work on removing the rocks and dirt that Mira and the two beasts will create. They'll also work on expanding the floor of the cave while also replacing the rocky floor with wood.
Since they didn't have any time to waste, everyone started immediately after Maria assigned their roles.
***
Six days later, the 'cave', if it could even be called that, was finished! On the outside, there was just a small entrance that was only about 3 meters tall and 2 meters wide. There wasn't anything special about the entrance, and it was well-hidden due to all of the large rocks, trees, and bushes surrounding it, but if one were to walk about ten meters inside, you'd find out that this cave is anything but ordinary!
About ten meters inside, the gravel floor changed to hardwood flooring, the walls of the cave are covered in glowing crystals, and there is a palace in the middle of the cave! This palace had everything Mira and Maria would ever need. A bedroom, bath/shower, training ground, an office, throne room, multiple guest rooms, and a vault.
Aside from that, there are quite a few smaller caves leading off from the room the palace is in, where Alicia and the other members of Mira's personal army will stay temporarily.
Unfortunately, they didn't have enough time to build their own houses either within the cave or in the valley, but that didn't matter too much to them. They were used to staying in caves and the outdoors, and they knew that they'd be able to make their own homes within a few weeks.
Right now, they were just thankful that Mira gave them a chance to enter the Battle Maiden Sect, even if they were only Trial Disciples.
After they finished the cave and put the palace inside, it's now time for Mira and Maria to register!
