Before the esper's assessment even began, the preliminary interview for the guide was conducted first.
Almost fifty people sent out their application, and through administrative assessment, only thirty of them were called for the interview. They were told to wait inside the small conference room--which obviously wasn't small considering it was enough to have thirty people and some staff waiting with some refreshment on the side.
As expected of a conglomerate affiliated guild.
More than half of them knew each other already, since they were in a similar age range of early and mid-twenties. They were either came from the same schools, Temples, or belonged in the same community. Different from the guides in the green-zone, those who were active in the lower zones usually came out to gather from time to time.
