Chapter 91 The Test of the Shield

The terms of the test had been agreed upon in advance.

Walter, the head of the Runewright Workshop, had insisted that each workshop supply its own shield-bearers for the evaluation.

 Surprisingly, the proposal was accepted without much resistance.

Shine Workshop, a front for the powerful underground Dark Workshop, had no trouble fulfilling the request.

 They possessed a cadre of skilled magic-wielding warriors, a necessity for maintaining control in the shadows. By contrast, Runewright struggled to find a suitable candidate. Fortunately, the broker Jay intervened, and through his connections, Jang managed to secure capable participants.

A man named Ferrari stood to one side of the training field, overseeing the group of ability-users chosen to carry Ferrari's shields.

 Across from them, about twenty meters away, stood the combatants of Shine Workshop, clad in matching battle uniforms.
