The silent Association Head office was filled with a gentle flashing light as Ryu reappeared once more.

The Association Head sensed this and snorted. "It hasn't even been a few hours yet but you already failed? Isn't that too pathetic? What a waste of Qi Stones. I'm sure you can see your way out, correct?"

He didn't even bother to look up from his papers.

Ryu's head turned toward the older man whose head was buried in a stack of papers. "Esteemed Association Head, with your lofty position, you're likely the only one in the Alchemy Association capable of awarding Valor Honor Cards, correct?"

"Listen, you annoying brat. Get the hell out of my office. I don't care for your worthless flattery."

"I'm not intentionally trying to disturb you. I only meant to say that since I'm here already, I thought I should ask you to handle the procedures."
