After some time, one of the overseers, an older mage in gray, announced that the field would close for cleaning before the next group came in.
Rayven nodded to himself. He'd already gotten more than enough…
As he stepped out of the training ground, he glanced toward the tall central tower of the Mage Association.
From what the receptionist said earlier, the public demonstration would begin soon, at the fourth bell after noon.
Rayven checked the sky.
'Still a few minutes left… I should head there now.'

Rayven reached the domed building that housed the Arcane Demonstration Hall just as the third bell faded in the distance.
A line of attendees had already formed near the entrance. Many of them are students in apprentice robes, scholars with ink-stained gloves, there were even some merchants wearing jeweled brooches, and a few armored adventurers who likely came to broaden their spell knowledge.
It was indeed a place open to everyone.
