บท 212: A Small Demonstration

"A demonstration…" Grandmaster Solin's furrowed his brow as he considered the proposal, then finally gave Brightblade a nod. "Very well. We will see if your skill justifies your demands."

He led them outside the building, stopping several mages along the way and sending them off to fetch various people, including several high-ranked members of the House of Swords. It seemed the Grandmaster intended for the demonstration to have an audience.

This briefly puzzled Arran, but after giving it a moment's thought, he understood the man's reasoning.

If the Grandmaster gave in to Brightblade's demands, the decision to lavish resources upon a group of outsiders would certainly raise questions. Having the House's other leaders witness her strength would answer those questions before they could be asked.
