In the Central Region of the Bayern Kingdom, the once-scenic town of Lansite was immersed in the pre-winter rush.
It had transformed from a primarily agricultural town into a new production hub bristling with smokestacks. A young man stepped off a public carriage that had come from the northern city of Wertzburg.
The young man wore the robes of a Magic Apprentice, a bookbag and Casting Materials slung over his shoulder, and a large cask of wine cradled in his arms. He walked straight into the "Fanta" food factory, the wrought-iron gates opening for him, granting him unimpeded passage.
"Andre, you're back?" the guard greeted, though his eyes were fixed on the white wine Andre was holding. Andre smiled, used [Mage's Hand] to offer the guard a cigarette, and then lit it for him with a simple Trick.
The guard took an ecstatic drag, as if a cigarette lit by Magic tasted that much better.
