There was nothing special about the name itself; the key lay in the note after the speaker's name.
Level 7 Wizards weren't uncommon at the Academic Exchange Conference, but Wizards specifically labeled as belonging to the Combat Department were rare.
It made Benjamin instinctively think of those Combat Department Wizards babbling away at the back of the hall during Savien's lecture.
