The wizard who seemed unfamiliar to Locke immediately headed to Wizard Zalan Bailey's private office after leaving Wizard Sith's office.
After hearing the news he had gathered, Wizard Zalan Bailey fell into thought. "No plan? It seems I overestimated Locke Augustine. Then again, he's only a First-Ring Wizard. Perhaps I was overthinking it."
"That means the people competing with me for this year's Special-Grade Funding Grant will be the researchers at the Second-Ring Wizard stage in the six groups." Wizard Zalan Bailey smiled at the wizard. "Wizard Tucker, thank you for tipping me off. I appreciate it."

"These Pineapple Wizard Shoes were specially designed for the Demon World War."
"To gather enough data, I even experimented on wizards from the Twin Demon World."
