Ice Sculpture Royal Capital, Warm Snow Cup tournament scene.
"It succeeded!"
"The Ice Sculpture Guard has been defeated!"
"Phew, finally someone passed."
The cheers in the field interrupted the Dragon-man youth's recollection. He focused his gaze and saw the scene of the Ice Sculpture Guard's defeat.
The consecutive failures had made the competition quite oppressive.
The appearance of the first qualifying alchemy team prompted all the other competing mages to breathe a collective sigh of relief, adding much confidence.
The Dragon-man youth looked closely and recognized the identity of the winner.
"It's the current Bloodline City Lord."
This City Lord, in order to compete, came to the Royal Capital six months early, delegating the management of Bloodline City to his deputy. He devoted all his efforts and time to preparing for this year's Warm Snow Cup.
