Reith held out his student ID card as this was the only way he could convince the guard.
The Alliance Spire stood behind them, tall and sharp against the sky, its dark glass walls lined with faintly glowing magic runes.
The outside plaza was quiet, unlike the last time where people were bustling around.
This time, it was only a lot of guards standing firm at each corner.
"Pfft. Anyone can get a student ID." The guard's face hardened.
"You have to use something else." The man reached for his weapon and the tension grew.
Reith quickly removed his cap and displayed his face.
"I'm the one who was involved in the last accident, there's no way I can fake that. You must have seen this face on the posters, news, mobile devices?" he hurriedly said, but then his shoulders sank.
This man didn't look like he recognised Reith.
"Rod, let him be." Someone's voice echoed from the door.
