Preparing for the Test

The feeling of being protected felt somewhat strange to Nora, but in truth, he did not dislike it.

To him, Alice's relationship had long surpassed that of an ordinary acquaintance. No matter what she did, he always found himself pleased by it.

The security guard glanced at Alice's E-rank Hero certification and immediately nodded before stepping forward to unlock the door.

With the press of a switch, the massive iron doors slowly slid open on either side.

The guard then gestured courteously toward them and said:

"Please, come in. Head straight down this path, and you'll reach the main hall."

Though Alice undoubtedly knew the way, protocol required him to give directions regardless.

"Thank you." the two of them said in unison before stepping forward, with Nora following closely behind Alice into the hall.

As they approached the entrance to the main hall, the automatic doors slid open.

The sight within left Nora in awe.
