Can He Resist?

It was the first time that Roan had entered the Alchemist Guild. After all, Old Worm didn't have that free month to allow Roan to go there. The guild wasn't any smaller than the Formations' building. But what really caught people's attention was the large number of young alchemists that came to participate in the exam. 

There was an enormous crowd outside the guild, waiting for their chance to enter. However, Old Worm was still a member of the Main Branch, so he was at least allowed to pass ahead with Roan. Eventually, they arrived at the counter... well, one of them. For the exam, the Alchemist Guild Main Branch prepared many temporary counters where the candidates could register. 

Of course, there were a few of them reserved primarily for the disciples of the members of the guild. Old Worm obviously brought Roan to one of those.

"Oh! It's Fellow Alchemist Fauk. You rarely ever come to pay us a visit."

Old Worm nodded. 

"I've been busy."
