In the heart of the White Comets Guild's main building, Alister walked down a sleek, polished hallway, his eyes darting to the people passing by in lab robes.
He glanced at Yuuto, who was leading the way with a confident stride. The sounds of machinery and occasional clicks of boots against the metallic floor echoed softly in the background.
Alister furrowed his brow. "Where are we going?"
Yuuto turned his head slightly, his usual grin playing at the corners of his mouth. "We're heading to the alchemy section of the guild."
"It's run by our alchemy team leader, Elise."
"Wait, there's a team leader beyond Ren and the others?"
"Yes."
"You wouldn't have seen her. Elise is always buried deep in her research. Doesn't come out much unless it's urgent. But you'll meet her today."
