With attendants crowding around him, the State Magistrate rode his tall horse to the center of the square. He felt satisfied when he saw faces of the martial arts students gathered.
"Everyone, I came here today for two things. Firstly, I would like to welcome everyone to the city. Secondly, I also wanted to cheer for everyone and give you some encouragement through your journey. This time, while you are traveling to the Redwood Royal Territory, you are not only representing yourself and your family but also your counties and your city. You are the future representatives of our Southcloud State. To show my sincerity, for the next few days, martial arts students from outer counties can stay at any inn, free of charge, regardless of food or other expenses. The state will cover the costs!”
Those who could have come here to register for the exam all came from an aristocratic background. Everyone could afford these little expenses.
