Four Masters of Beguiling the Heart (5K)

Hewinia smelled blood.

She approached the two groundsmen nonchalantly, their light snow-treading sounds muffled by their loud conversation.

"How could this happen? That thing should have been extinct by now."

"I don't know, haven't seen one in many years either."

"Should we continue searching then?"

"...It's tough, with this much blood loss, can it really still be alive?"

"It seems we need to report this to the higher-ups."

"Yeah, especially since the festival is coming soon. If at this time something... what the hell?!"

They finally sensed someone approaching, their scrutinizing gazes swiftly shifted, and the Magic Wand in their hands glowed faintly.

Hewinia immediately stood still obediently, "It's just me, I came to see what you guys were up to."

Upon seeing that it was Hewinia, the two groundsmen relaxed.

Thanks to her persona as a clumsy, often late, and silly young lady, despite being of Golden Rank, Hewinia often managed to interact with various groundsmen.
