"What exactly is going on in there?" Serys asked as she looked at Lana.
"I don't know either. Normally, when the fifth pillar lights up, it means he has cleared all five trials. By now, he should have come out." She frowned as she spoke.
Anyone who clears the five trials is automatically ejected from the temple — there isn't anything else inside to hold them.
"Could it be that he did so well he triggered a hidden trial?"
"Maybe, maybe not. But I doubt there's anything like that inside," Lana dismissed the idea.
"Look over there!" A sudden shout came from the crowd.
Everyone's eyes turned to the temple entrance, which suddenly began to glow.
Before long, a tall, striking figure stepped out of it.
"Is that him? The one who managed to clear all five trials?"
"I've never seen him before. Could he be a new member?"
"A new member clearing all five trials? That's impossible — especially in such a short time!"
