Race to Platinum

The fifth circle mage felt an uncomfortable feeling for a moment, as if someone was looking into his soul, but the feeling vanished soon after, so he ignored it. He looked around the room, finally noticing the large man sitting in front of the mayor.

"Oh, Morris, you are also here." Kraven looked at the tall man with some hint of respect, albeit too little. "You are the only one among this ruckus that is not completely useless."

However, before Morris could reply, he turned towards the mayor and arrogantly spoke, "Here is the gem containing the beast's soul. I hope you won't bother me after this for at least a month."

The mage then casually tossed him a large silver gem, the size of an adult's fist. Kraven then turned towards one of the adventurers following him and spoke, "You have the highest contributions points in the city after this quest. It is without doubt that you will receive the recommendation for the platinum rank promotion. Don't disappoint me."
