After a while, Richard walked onto the deck.
In the night, the deck was engulfed in darkness, crowded with many people, yet no Wizard was to be seen. Everyone was whispering, clearly puzzled.
"Where's the Master Wizard?"
"Yeah, where is the Master Wizard?"
"Didn't the Master Wizard ask us to come up to the deck?"
"It's not another sudden disappearance like last time, is it?"
"But what is this all about, really? Shouldn't it be explained first?"
"Exactly..."
Listening to the crowd, Richard also felt puzzled. Just then, a voice reverberated across the entire deck.
One couldn't see the person speaking, but could clearly hear the voice—it was the voice of Wizard Dempsey.
"This is Dempsey. I'm informing you now that tonight, we will conduct the second test. Yes, the second test, but don't be nervous; it's an informal test. As long as you are careful, you will not be eliminated. On the contrary, there's a considerable gain to be had. Now, look up."
