Because of the heavy rain last night, the streets of the Valgoor were filled with puddles. The roads of the city were muddy. As both James and David were late for their examination, they started running towards the venue. Because of the muddly road, they attracted every kind of mud on their pants and shoes while running. And by the time they got to the venue, the bottom parts of their pants were fully covered in mud.
While running, James told David that the examination would be conducted in Battillion no 786's HQ. The HQ was pretty far away from the inn. And after running for about 5 mins they were able to reach the outer part of the HQ.
