Hidden Master

An unusual amount of people gathered at the Apothecary Center that day. It marked not only the monthly artisan exam but also the grand occasion of the yearly master apothecary exam. The extra surge in numbers was fueled by the anticipation of witnessing not only the routine assessments but the participation of a particular and illustrious figure.

"That's him!! He's really here!!" shouted one of the people in the crowd excitedly, their eyes widening with admiration as the man made his entrance into the building.

"Yes! That's Lord Eugene; he's really here for the mastery exam!"

"Do you think that he could really succeed?"

"Very hard!! There were just one or two apothecarists able to pass every year, and Lord Eugene is just too young."

"No way... If it's Lord Eugene, I am sure he can!"
