In the evening, at the exit of the Dark City, Jacob walked out of the Dark City exit, but this time, he wasn't alone as seven capped figures of different sizes followed him.
Three of them were naturally the selected Grandmaster Alchemists by Clayton and Audrey to follow Jacob on his demand. At the same time, the other four were Alchemy Grandmasters from the Alchemy Guild within the Common Circle of the Dark City.
These seven were both excited and apprehensive when they found that the infamous Alchemy Guild Leader was looking for Alchemy Assistants. The three from the Inner Circle branch didn't dare to reject when they found they were selected by 'Jacob' specifically for their 'skills.'
These three were first shocked and then felt something was not right as their performance was below average during Jacob's exam, so why was he looking for them?
