* In Tamora Pierce's ''[[Circle of Magic]]'' series, Tris is trained by Niko, the super duper famous mage. [[Justified Trope|Justified]], in that the rules of magic dictate it.
** Specifically, any mage that discovers magic in someone is responsible for teaching them or finding a mage with the same kind of magic to take over instruction. Mages who can control lightning like Tris are both rare and [[Power Incontinence|tend to get themselves killed young]] so Niko is responsible.
* In ''[[Discworld/Thief of Time|Thief of Time]]'', everyone is shocked when Lobsang becomes the apprentice of Lu-Tzu The Sweeper. Even if they don't recognise The Sweeper in person, they are shocked by his rep, and because he ''never'' takes apprentices anymore. In fact Lobsang's apprenticeship is a punishment posting for both of them in different ways.
* [[Heralds of Valdemar|Darian]] certainly has this reaction when he finds out Firesong k'Vala has moved to k'Valdemar Vale specifically to train Darian.
* In ''[[Belisarius Series]]'' an emperor hires one of the greatest warriors in India to train his daughter as a [[Badass Princess]]. Later she and her mentor get married and they become a [[Battle Couple]].
