Max parted his way with the rest of the committee members and went towards the Blacksmith Department.

Along the way, he could feel different kinds of gaze. Somewhere curious, some admiring and some….hostile.

Max scanned the room and found a few familiar faces. But there was only one which he put in his eyes.
