From MC's Perspective:
After completing the verification, I walked inside the room. The door behind me closed automatically, leaving those eager for a spectacle disappointed.
Meanwhile, those who had suffered didn't hesitate to post the news online. Some, hurt by coercion, were using this as an opportunity to fan the flames.
Sitting on the couch, I took some time to calm down. As I fell into deep thought, I realized that Alicia definitely had a passive ability.
Her power didn't affect me much, likely due to the Star Rune Spell. I rarely found a use for this spell, but it proved perfect for these kinds of situations.
It seems a lot has changed during my absence. The Taboo Hall now has a powerful level-7 Wizard. I hope she won't do anything against me.
After pushing aside irrelevant thoughts, my attention turned to the main topic: how to enter the Ancient Redwood Country. Is there a way forward?
