Neuro stood frozen, the words still echoing in his head.
"What… wait… no. You can't just say that and make it true."
Blazren casually cracked his neck and shrugged like it was the easiest thing in the world.
"Already did. Filed the request earlier today as soon as I became AA-Rank hero."
He walked forward, his boots thudding against the floor with each step.
The AA-Rank heroes around the room went quiet, watching the exchange unfold.
"You also remember who I am, don't you, Neuro?"
Blazren stopped just a step away.
"Top-performing director. Highest mission completion rate across all zones."
"Branch discipline ranking? Number one. Complaint resolution? Zero."
Neuro's brow twitched. He remembered the records.
Even as an A-Rank hero, Blazren held more authority than most.
Now that he was AA-Rank…
Blazren pulled out his wrist screen.
A new ping echoed. He raised it high with a grin.
"Oh, would you look at that. A message just arrived."
