Palace (2)

As those young masters stood there in a daze, what they didn't know was that they had given up their opportunity to their followers just like this.

The portal was designed to only take a certain number of people and it was based on a first come first serve basis. 

The palace was the next step in this trial and a place that was filled with treasures, so naturally it was a great opportunity for them if they had gone. It was just too bad that they had thought only of themselves and failed to take a risk, giving this chance to their followers in the end.

As the saying went, there's no reward without taking risks.

It would be hard to imagine the pain they would feel in their hearts if they knew the truth.

But seeing that there was nothing else for them here, the young masters decided not to waste any time and began exploring the city. After all, they had just arrived in this city, so they didn't know what was in it.
