Ambushing Rufus

The land of snow and ice.

A ranker was seen waiting for somebody under a large juniper tree covered in heavy snowfall. He seemed a bit stressed, as if afraid of what was bound to happen next.

This ranker looked old and way past his heyday. He was wearing a simple white tunic paired with white pants, which made him almost invisible against an all-white background all around him.

Most LA participants would have recognized this old man if they met him inside Sansara World. This ranker's name was Nicholas Scott. He had served as the receptionist for the Novice's Treasury in LA. He was the same old man who had sold Eren his various Novice spells in the first year.

Nicholas didn't have to wait long. Soon, a ranker appeared beside him and looked around before asking.

"Nicholas, this is the place where you sensed elven magic, right?"

Rufus asked while feeling uneasy in his heart for some reason. Being a Grandmaster ranker, his attainments in various fields were nothing to scoff at.
