Leon slowly scanned the massive hall of the Advanced Divine Temple, his sharp gaze moving across the countless players gathered within.
Tens of thousands were seated or standing in groups, waiting for their turn before the [Divine Stele] at the center of the chamber.
Despite the sheer number of people present, one familiar presence was missing.
Emilia was nowhere to be seen.
He checked again, this time more carefully, but there was no sign of her blonde hair or calm aura among the crowd.
'Still in her advancement task,' he concluded inwardly.
It had already been more than a full day since she entered her assessment.
Given her talent and temperament, Leon had to assume she got the S-Rank challenge, meaning it probably took a long time.
After all, if she had failed and died during the trial, she would have respawned here by now and likely attempted the A-Rank assessment instead.
