Kaya's side of the story

"Fourth rank…"

Juvia only managed to utter two words before her shock blocked her throat from letting any further words pass. 

The silence from the ring indicated that Axel, wherever he was right now, was equally as shocked. 

But neither of their reactions or rather their lack, could match the faces that Kaya and Narid made.

"Fourth…" Kaya muttered before her throat blocked too. 

"… rank…" Narid finished for the girl, taking a step back, overwhelmed by the news. 

'So it was as shocking as I expected,' Theo thought before taking a deep breath to calm himself down. 

As nice as it felt to flex his ability to teach others, revealing this kind of strength that he possessed meant that his fame would grow. And with that, so would his value to all the parties interested. 

In other words, while raising his status, Theo had to accept the negative consequences of all the parties involved now paying a lot more attention to him.
