Prelude To The Competition

Noir was finally cornered.

He was being asked the one question he had avoided all this time. It was something that added to his mystery, but now… everyone wanted to know.

"Come on, Noir."

"Tell us."

"We're waiting."

With such expectant faces, the lecturers hounded him with their questions and unyielding curiosity. He had to budge eventually.

And budge he did.

"My Tier is…" Noir sighed as he spoke.

There was only one choice left for him at this point. He didn't want to do this, but he had to.

"... Tier 6."

He had to lie.

"W-whoah! Are you serious?"

"I mean… I was expecting something much higher, but…"

"Are you crazy? It's because you all keep comparing him to Trevor. Noir, you're amazing for reaching Tier 6 at such a young age!"

"I know, right? Most lecturers here just stagnate at Tier 5. A few reach Tier 6. Only a few like Trevor and those high-council guys ever reach Tier 7 and 8."
