-Kiyoung Lee, please send a signal when you are ready.

As I raised my hand slightly, I immediately felt the eyes looking at me. On the second floor, Kim Hyun-sung, Park Deokgu, and Jung Hayan were also intently looking at me.

I was a little nervous as everyone here was so focused on what I could do, but honestly, I didn't feel the burden of having to prove myself.

In the first place, I knew that the guild executives weren't expecting me to do something worth their time.

"I'm ready."

Rather, it was Jung Hayan who had me feeling unsettled. Ever since that incident with Cha Hee-ra, she hadn't been herself.

That strangely quiet appearance had me sweating.

Next to her, Park Deokgu was sporting a displeased expression as well. Kim Hyunsung's expression was generally unreadable.

'I'm anxious...'

I had an inkling that I knew the reason why the madwoman had done that to me, and I didn't like the reason at all. She probably did it to spite Jung Hayan.

Of course, it could also be a warning, but I hardly felt like this was the case.

I think I was even expected to thank her, all for not pulling the sword and beheading me for not accepting her offer right away.

I shook my head and began to focus on my magic, which was getting a little more complicated, and slowly began to draw a circle on the floor.

It was a rather complicated process, but the magic circle itself was ready.

'It's at least efficient.'

It not only costs less magic power, but it would definitely do the trick.

In an instant, the magic circle was completed.

From the nods I saw in the crowd, I knew they found this type of magic familiar.

"Lord, I hope you answer my voice."

The magic circle was the one responsible for building the tower of magic. Even memorizing the chant would drain you of your magic power.

"Fire pillar."

At my words, a pillar of fire rose up from the magical circle that I made.

This was not possible to do with my meager amount of magic power. However, with the help of a little extra effect and the magic circle, the outcome of my magic had become something more impressive than what it should have been.

"What..."

I couldn't hear the cheers of Park Deokgu, Kim Hyunusng, or Jung Hayan as I would have heard them in the past.

However...

Clap, clap, clap.

I started to hear the sound of applause spreading throughout the venue.

It was not a bad demonstration, but of course, it was not bad enough to not be applauded for.

They've probably figured out by now that I was the weakest out of my entire party, but I knew for a fact that I was not automatically useless.

"Thank you."

-Lee Ki-young's demonstration is finished. All the VIPs, please move according to the procedure.

However, just like yesterday, these people refused to follow.

You could see distinguished guests and scouts flocking here, much like dogs answering to their master.
