No Other Choice

The day passed, and things proceeded as normal in the Inquisition Forging Hall. Rean was even ready to get out of there in case there were any changes due to the events in Gratlur's office. Yet, nothing happened from there. 

Finally, the time was over for those trying to fix the Puppets, and Flafei came back to check. Looking at the scores, only two people made it through. One was a man in the Elemental Transformation Realm called Vlomaro. The other was obviously Rean, who made just barely enough to reach the required 800 points.

Flafei wasn't that impressed with Vlomaro. Considering the guy's cultivation, it was obvious he spent a very long time studying puppets before attempting to enter the Inquisition Forging Hall. That's what most of the candidates usually did. However, Flafei couldn't say the same about Rean.
