Bab 367: The Visitor (2)

The rules of the Material Gathering event were simple enough that no one expects to find any noteworthy incident.

The participants would encounter some small to medium-sized forest beasts the Courtenay Family released, that was for sure, but those beasts were a common type of forest beast that even a group of average humans could handle on their own.

And yet...

For those encounters, an unknown mage caught the attention of most top brass watching the event from the towers.

It was especially true with the people in the Royal Army's tower.

Even Emperor Euan showed interest in that mage.

A mage named Aki, from the Conclave.

It was easy to draw attention by performing well. In events such as this, one could do well by how fast the materials were gathered while retaining their quality. A person's dismantling and collecting skills played a large role in this.
