Auburn City gradually settled into silence after the chaos, and on the flat land outside the city, Wizards Bata, Noel, Jenny, and Teddy looked at each other in bewilderment.
Originally, they were wondering if it wasn't yet time for them to make a move, only to discover the battle had already ended.
Fast, too fast.
Actually, they didn't care about the speed, what concerned them was that they seemed to be overlooked.
Yes, overlooked, and not just once.
In several previous battles, they had been little involved, their roles hovering between spectators and mascots, and this time it was even worse, they were reduced to mere onlookers for the whole show.
They were wizards!
"It's the fourth time," the Herculean Wizard Bata broke the silence.
The others naturally knew what he was referring to, and the diminutive Wizard Noel said, "It seems we need to have a talk with Wizard Richard."
"Indeed, we need to talk," Witch Jenny agreed.
