Chapter 127: The Race

Right after the shocking assembly, Master Ortiz brought him to check out the place where the Gauntlet would be held. 

The place was situated on the south side of Vanyar City. It was one of the forest hills that stretched into the horizon. Moreover, it was located near the impassable mountains in that direction.

The two spent quite some time walking before they arrived at a clearing on that hill. This place could be said to be the back of the Evernight Woods.

"This is where the Gauntlet will start, Tristan, and it will end at the other side of the hill." said Master Ortiz as he looked at his unofficial disciple.

Meanwhile, Tristan was attracted to the words that the old master had just said.

"Start? End? Is the Gauntlet going to be some kind of race, Master?"

At his inquiry, Master Ortiz unexpectedly nodded his head. "Yes, I guess it can be said to be a race."
