Chapter 18.2

“Sooo… we attracted quite the crowd, didn’t we?”

“What else do you expect? A Grand Ranker fighting a newly promoted HR who’s been the talk of the guild. Of course we’re gonna draw eyes.”

“Yeah but this is… a bit excessive.”

Soren cast his eyes across the crowd gathering around the edges of the rooftop sparring field, the very same Syr had taken her practical exam to join the guild at. Unlike last time, where it had only been the High Rankers observing the examinees, now there was a sizable crowd lining every seat and more the rooftop had to offer.

Meaning when the bleachers failed, it turned to people lingering on foot outside of them to fill what space they could.

All to watch one of their rising stars face off once again against one of their strongest fighters.

Both stood in their full combat gear, Soren having added Nyx to his belt of equipment, the dagger’s sheath hanging at the back of his waist, creating a crossed line with Hyperion across his back.
