It’s dumb, but I’ve got too many screw-ups to work on before I’ll even be close to- Ow!” The orangette rubbed his head with his free hand, glaring at Riley over his shoulder. “Thanks, but… I don’t think I’ve earned it. The burn scars on Nora’s arms might be almost healed, but it didn’t change the fact that she’d gotten hurt because he ran off to fight against Vados without thinking. Ri might have forgiven him, but that’s just how she was. Ulzar, as much as he wanted to accept the promotion, the past week had made him painfully aware of his faults. “I don’t…” he sighed, holding out the silver badge to the woman. Ri tackled Nora in a hug, but Ross began to walk towards the Admin before his two best friends could pull him into the pile. Nolan’s cheers drew him back to the present just in time to hear the Admin turn to him and Nora, telling them that they had both been close to being promoted anyway. Ross stared in disbelief at the small item in his hand, not fully hearing what the others were saying. And you all impressed Edward with your battling skills.” Alongside helping the new Queen of Monsters rise and begin restoring the world’s balance. “You all helped stop Vados from, at the very least, slaying all Nexomon.

The main point is that the fifth rank is similar to the previous fourth, but you have to be eighteen to apply.” Ri practically collapsed in relief, and Ross teasingly jabbed her in the side. Edward suggested ‘Grand Master’, which is probably what we’ll go with officially. For now, it’s Guildmaster with an upper case ‘G’. “Bronze, silver, gold, guildmaster – lower case ‘g’ – and…. “So, we’re officially adding a new rank.” The Admin explained, digging around in a desk drawer for something. The gold badge pinned on her chest gleamed as the morning's sun reached through the Guild’s windows. Pink, green, and white caught his eye as Nora, yawning, made her way over. They’d all agreed on a set time to meet up, and if Nora, Ri, Coco, and Atlas didn’t hurry. ‘ Why are they so damn slow?’ Nolan and Riley had probably already finished training and left, while Finn had gone home the night before. With a sigh, the orangette let his head roll back and gently thump against the plaster. Leaning against one of the columns by the Guild’s entrance, Ross found himself tapping his foot on the ground.
