Inside the room at the colosseum, Wain was preparing when he sensed the presence of someone else. "How may I help you, Chancellor Aveline?" Wain asked without turning around.

"As expected, you noticed," Aveline acknowledged, observing Wain's back. Despite his attempt to approach Wain while hiding his presence, the fact that Wain had detected his presence indicated that Wain's mana sensing abilities had reached the 8th grade standard.
