In coming to Black Terrace, Terran's plan was to graduate and join the Demon Suppression Department where he would receive an Order of Life. However, one naturally had to pick up skills and accumulate credit in order to graduate from any military institution.
One way to accumulate credit was to train under a master to learn a vocation or life skill.
However, in the same way all men were not created equal, the teachers and masters at Black Terrace were also not equal. Someone like Terran naturally had to be taught by the best.
"The best option is naturally to apprentice under one of the 13 Masters, the Protectors of the Black Sword."
"Why not just train under all of them if they are all so great?" Terran asked.
"Dream on! One needs permission from the first master to be taught by all 13 masters. How easy is that to get? It is almost impossible."
