Several days later, a shocking piece of news spread through Ichigane Town.
The news was so ridiculous that the people there couldn't help but dismiss it at first, thinking it was too far-fetched.
But as the days passed by and the small army of a hundred Magi that had left the town on the same night as the outsider never returned, people slowly started to believe in that ridiculous news.
And when a few days later, people from all sorts of sects and clans arrived at Ichigane Town, asking strange questions, the people finally and completely believed the veracity of the news.
It was safe to say that the whole of Ichigane Town was turned upside down!
A few weeks ago, a stranger from a faraway land had arrived in this town out of nowhere. He was a mysterious fellow who laughed and laughed and laughed. He was a madman who was rumored to carry great treasures with him.
