"Another ingredient? What's wrong with this one?" the staff asked softly so as to not alert the rest of the contestants who were already underway in the competition.
"This bark isn't of the right weight. I need one that is at least 45 grams, which this is not," Alex said.
"Certainly that is no problem, right? It's just a few grams," the staff said.
"Sir, I am trying to make the best pill I have ever made in my life. If you are going to deny me of that opportunity, then I would like to speak with someone else," Alex said.
"Okay, okay, I will talk with the host," the staff said and went to the host. He whispered a few words and the host walked up to Alex.
"Is it true that you need another ingredient?" he asked.
"Yes," Alex said.
"But the round has already started. I cannot delay the round for you," he said.
