Maya's subtle way of asking him to leave the test scared Gondel.
The geek quickly tried to correct his position.
"I… I am perfectly fine with Sage Lehan's absence, Lady Maya– we all are. A Sage like him shouldn't waste his time on anybody like us. I get it. Please… please let us know what we are supposed to do to claim his Legacy."
Eren couldn't help laughing when he saw the geek bowing in front of Maya like one of her well-behaved servants. He had to say that the guy was pretty quick-witted despite his momentarily spontaneous actions and words.
"Alright."
Maya said to Gondel, relieving him of a crisis of his own making. She then looked around and observed other participants before starting to explain how Sage Lehan's Legacy could be claimed.
"The participants are required to find an array key inside a city. The one who finds it and hands it over to me wins the Sage Legacy."
