After Ruby and Villin's companions came out, a number of others got introduced as well. Surprisingly over half of the people in the top twenty were a part of Athena's Forge. Villin didn't recognize any of them, which made sense since all of these were in the third grade back when he was still in the second grade.
The boy that liked gossiping so much was proven right that most of those in the top twenty weren't up for grabs. 'Athena's Forge' seemed to be pretty united and there probably wouldn't be anyone willing to leave the guild that had such a bright future ahead of it.
Two more people that went from the second grade to the fourth grade in two years and were also in the top twenty were Hawk and Sara, the upper echelon of 'The Black Swans'. Sadly, one of their upper echelon couldn't pass the third grade in one year but the fact they had three members that moved from the second grade to the fourth in two years was already rather insane.
