Bet Between Lark and Einar

Soon the second stage of the Alchemy competition began and the participants quickly went up on the stage. 

The second stage is the Pill Fire Control and the participants' control will be tested. The participants who fail to do the required task will be eliminated and those that passed will move on to the last stage. 

At this moment, Omar was announcing the rules of the second stage. Everyone listened with solemn gazes, afraid that they would miss something if they weren't attentive enough. 

Among the participants, Christopher had a relaxed look on his face. During their one-month training in Barden Territory, he received personal lessons from King Aethelwolf and he learned a lot at that time. Aethelwolf's teachings were superior to what he had been taught before and because of this, his knowledge in Alchemy advanced by leaps and bounds. 

"Release you Pill Fire!" Omar shouted to the participants.
