"But… just in case you do need something, you can go to Grandmaster Oram or Kraul. They should still be within the Association; at least one of them should. Okay, good luck…."
But Kale's mood did not improve; if the odds of his master granting him the favor were at least 1%, the probability that Grandmaster Oram and Kraul would help him would be less than 0.001%.
Brushing down all the growing frustration in his heart, he directly went to the Pillcraft tower to ask for Grandmaster Oram's help, since the man was much more amiable compared to Kraul and was perhaps more inclined to help him.
