Frozen Field

Following Yaren's announcement, everyone stood up from their seats and began to line up in a single file. 

"Are there going to be contestants from other Professions outside as well?" One curious contestant raised their hand and inquired. 

As much as they were afraid of Yaren, they needed to know if there were going to be more contestants. After all, forging was a process that required their attention.

Having live audiences making noise was difficult already, but if they were going to be hindered by contestants from other Professions as well, then the difficulty had just risen to another bar. 

However, the person who asked didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse upon hearing Yaren's response.
