Several people in line noticed the group that casually walked straight past everyone without queueing. Naturally, the newcomers drew a few sharp glares.
Among the crowd, however, were some students from Gyakarta Academy and they immediately recognized the group, especially Gara.
"Those kids! How dare they cut in line like that?" grumbled a long-eared woman, her voice rising above the crowd.
Her daughter lightly tugged on her arm. "Mom, that's Gara. The one who made the products sold here at Alrova Shop."
"The Alchemy Genius Gara? The one who's your friend at the academy?" her mother exclaimed.
The young girl groaned inwardly. If anyone overheard her mom saying she was friends with Gara, she'd never hear the end of it.
"Just— yes, that's him, Mom," she muttered quickly.
Their conversation spread to the clueless people nearby, and soon, the complaints vanished. Everyone suddenly fell quiet.
