In this short scene, we learn that the thief from the promised light is a member of the guild. He is also participating in the competition, which is being held in the light's name. The thief asks the guild master to tell him how many people are in the alliance. The guild master tells him that all of the men who ambushed the thief were killed, and that they are no match for the thief. He says that the guild's dignity as members does not allow them to run away from the thief, but that he does not want to give in to the temptation. He hopes that if the thief performs well, the audience will talk about him, and if he does poorly, it will be the end of his plan. This is exactly what he wants, he says. He wants the thief to bring glory to the guild, and he hopes that he will not clash with the opponent from the light. He also hopes that they will not be able to find each other, because that person also participated in the tournament. He wonders if the vice-guild master can handle his partner by herself, or not, and so he wants to play a game with them.
