After finishing off the conversation, Benjamin happily left and tried to get acquainted with the other mages.
Perhaps it was due to the fact that he didn’t have any reputation in the city and also couldn’t reveal his identity, but the rest of the mages wasn’t as chatty as Jack and the "mercenaries. Benjamin struggled to have a conversation.
He made a round and quickly realized that the battle mages were friendlier than the potion mages. It could be that since the potion mages usually hid in their labs making potions that they were lazy to interact with others.
Benjamin soldiered on through the crowd - he needed to become a familiar face in the mage scene of Rayleigh City. Through his efforts, a good number of mages now knew that there were some newcomer mages in the city, headed by Benjamin. This was the first step to becoming influential.
