The White Rock Trial

Near Amaterasu, Crow Forest.

A ruined temple stood somewhere in the dimly lit forest, its buildings covered in roots and moss. It had a stone tablet nailed to one of the walls that was half-crumbled.

At the yard of the crumbled temple, armored and well-equipped players examined the temple's ruined buildings. They weren't going inside, and so far, they had no intention of doing so.

A trio of players sat on top of a fallen rock beam and observed other players with a keen eye.

"As expected, everyone is now going for this trial because of the tournament." Anthon, a handsome black-haired young man, looked at the scene with a frown.

Cauldron and Ignite, his two good friends, were throwing small pebbles at the small circle on the ground. The small circle was obviously drawn by a wooden stick, and there was a black pebble in the middle of it.
