The Sorcerer's Apprentices

Part 2 of Portraits. A continuation of yesterday's story.
After a few months of living a normal sedate life, both the Assassin and the Beauty were bored of their luxurious but meaningless lives. Therefore, in line with the Gahmen's scheme of continuous skills upgrading, they decided to sign up to become Sorcerer's Apprentices. Since it was a training, they were both paid a small allowance, and were not given any CPF. Yet they were happy as they were learning something new and potentially useful. Initially, the training was a bit shiong as the shi fu kept making them carry buckets of water from the well up 30 floors to his brand new HDB flat in Toa Payoh. But being Singaporeans they were Kiasu and had extra magic tuition from this retired Sorcerer shi fu who used to teach magic at a well known JC in the Bishan Toa Payoh area. So very soon, the Assassin & Beauty aka Socerer's Apprentices, aka Sorcerer's Sai Kang Warriors were able to use what they had learnt in tuition to magically change the brooms into servants and made the brooms carry the buckets of water from the well for them. (for those not magically inclined, imagine the 2 of them employing 10 Fallen Talents/Banglas to carry the buckets of water for them) Their Socerer Shifu was very pleased with their progress, unaware that they had been cutting corners, and started teaching them more useful stuff and they all lived happily ever after.
