417 He's Good

Back at the Alchemist Guild Main Branch...

Most of the tables in Roan's hall had already been filled. With a few exceptions like himself, most alchemists seemed to be around their late teens. However, Roan could see some who looked to be around his age. As for those who appeared to be older, that's probably only their appearance.

Finally, the door of the hall closed, which indicated that the exam wouldn't accept any more participants. Following that, a Spiritual Sense Message reached everyone present.

"The Alchemist Exam will now begin. From now on, you are prohibited from leaving your workstations. As mentioned in the rules, no personal tools are accepted. You will have to do with what you have on your table."

Suddenly, another door opened at the front of the Hall as an old man using the Alchemist Guild Main Branch badge came out. Behind him, several other alchemists using the same badge followed.
