As Novemton News continued to give everyone its report, the public eye turned to Wyvern Peak, hoping that Jerome would hold a press conference. They hoped he would tell them what he had planned. However, he did no such thing.

Nobody heard anything from Jerome, nor did they see him take any action. Instead, Wyvern Peak merely strengthened its presence at Ganon Mountain, with no specific orders issued.

Meanwhile, Jerome sat in his usual seat in Wyvern Peak’s main hall, seeming unaffected by Novemton's expectations for him to resolve the situation.

"Sir.” Jerome's attendant, Lewis Dorne, walked in.

Lewis had participated in this year's selection and performed well, which led to Jerome arranging for him to take up a position within his ranks.

Lewis reported, "Sir, the Eight Hollows are keeping close tabs on us. Also, all of Novemton would like to hear from you about this matter. They’re afraid of our enemies. Don’t you think you should hold a press conference to calm them down?"
