Chase (20)

Kyran ignored the security personnel and instead picked up his pace.

At the security personnel's shout, all eyes, both mages and security personnel, were suddenly fixed on Kyran and his pursuer.

Since the objective of the security personnel inside the portal area was to ensure that every mage inside had approved documents, their vigilance was not as fierce as those outside.

Nonetheless, that did not mean that they could not react to unexpected situations.

As if a spell had been cast, the other security personnel and mages alike reacted instantly to the sight of the security personnel shouting at someone who seemed to be rushing toward a portal.

The security personnel's reaction was reasonable. They reacted simply because it was part of their responsibility. However, the mages reacted because they were displeased by the idea that someone wanted to take advantage of the inspection to slip past the security and enter the portal.
