The door to the waiting area slowly opened.
Kaelvar and Azton both looked over, curious about the person the Golden Horizon Merchant Alliance had chosen.
The person who entered surprised them both.
It was a woman.
She had long golden hair, clear eyes, and an elegant appearance that seemed far more suited to a luxury merchant gathering than some insane training course that required the willingness to die.
The woman stopped a short distance away and looked between them with an amused smile. "So, you two are the ones sent by the other factions, huh?"
Her gaze moved toward Kaelvar first. "You must be Kaelvar Ignis from the Ignis Dragon Clan."
She shifted her attention to Azton. "And you should be Azton from the Azure Battle Palace, right?"
Both men immediately became more cautious.
Azton's expression sharpened. "How do you know about me? Kaelvar is well known because of the Newbie Tournament, but I almost never appear in public."
Kaelvar frowned slightly as well.
