The first day of the Chalice Conference had unfolded within the grand confines of Victor Winhard's mansion, perched atop the majestic Krakatoa mountain. The conference rooms were vast, filled with rows of meticulously arranged seats, a stage, and a podium. Each faction had assumed their assigned positions, their representatives ready for the discussions to come.
Victor Winhard, a towering figure of power and innovation, had made his entrance and captivated the room with his opening speech. As the audience absorbed his words, the conference proceeded with an explanation of the new rules and policies for the upcoming tournament, the Chalice Cup. However, when the topic of the Unlimited Mana Manual arose, a delegation from the Holy Empire vehemently rejected the news, expressing their deep disagreement.
