What's the biggest problem in Wildfire Town?
Now Andrew finally understood.
It's not the frequent fires.
It's not people like Raymond, Lisa, and Brian who don't treat others as human beings.
It's not powerful Magic Apprentices like Pete, Sally, and Cook.
Nor is it the old Mage, Humboldt, whom I always thought was the biggest problem.
It turns out to be none of these.
It's fear.
It's the fear the townsfolk have towards the fire and the Magic Guild. Fear to the point that they've lost even the slightest notion and will to resist, left only with the thought of just surviving. It's as if their hearts are entwined, their minds enveloped in a mass of "Shadow Erosion Fire," constantly corroding their spirit and will.
This is the true invisible "fire" that engulfs every corner of Wildfire Town!
"Then extinguish it."
Andrew decided almost immediately, "Extinguish this real 'fire' of Wildfire Town—that's the first major task I need to accomplish in taking over Wildfire Town."
