217 Titles

Jason walked up to the front of the chamber where Lady Megra waited. The entire room fell quiet as they watched Jason approach the figure sitting on the seat of the leader of the rose household.

The platoon members smilled to themselves knowing that he was worthy of a title and the wolves had a wolfish grin on their face seeing their boss getting what seemed to be a reward, probably snakoes they thought to themselves.

As Jason walked up to Lady Megra everyone in the room seemed to be astonished as they looked at him, he gave off a brilliant aura and the smile on his face oozed out charisma. Though it could not compare to the overwhelming presence of lady Megra, it was extremely noticeable to the platoon and people in the chamber.

Jason kneeled a few feet in front of lady Megra, his mind was thrown back to when he had just arrived on this continent and was about to become an adventurer. The desperation he felt when he ran to catch the purse that Jack had stolen was fresh on his mind.

He didn't know why she let Jack take her stuff since all of the platoon members had reassured him plenty of times that she was extremely strong as a fire mage.

Jason lifted his head to take a quick peek at Lady Megra. She was exactly like how he had seen her like before he got recruited into the rose knights.

She had her name highlighted above her in a warm red glow, with brown hair and red strands that were intertwined with it. A fair complexion that would rival beauties of reality a smooth jawline and piercing light red eyes that had a small tint of gold as she gazed at Jason.

Jason was quickly told by Boops to lower his head since he was getting annoyed stares from the elders sitting next to Lady Megra and promptly did so.

"Jas... no Arch"

Lady Megra said

"you are the newest member of this platoon. Yet you have done things that have supported and possibly saved countless lives in the final trial"

Jason resisted the urge to look back up to ask how she knew that.

Lady Megra let out a small giggle and responded to Jason's thoughts as if she knew what he was saying

"We always have an eye on our young trainees"

Lady Megra stepped off of the chair of the rose household and slowly walked down the stairs to where Jason was kneeling. The guardian of the rose household followed her down. Staring at Jason the entire time.

As she walked down she spoke to Jason and everyone in the room

"Arch, I personally recruited you, I saw your talent the moment I laid eyes on you, Their is a reason why I put you into the Blue 2 team."

Boops made the sound of a person who finally solved a puzzle

'ohhhhhhh so that's why she let her purse get stolen and stuff felt so unnatural back then, she was aiming for us the entire time, huh I'm not sure how she saw your talent though that's kinda weird.'

Lady Megra stood above Jason and unsheathed the sword that she had used to knight Charlie and the rest of the title bearers.

She placed the sword with the rose on its hilt and the thorns growing around the hilt, onto Jason's left shoulder.

Jason felt the cold steel of the sword on his shoulder its coldness almost gave him chills but it lifted a few seconds later and touched his right shoulder.

"I hereby grant you the title of (rose prodigy)"

All of the elders of the rose household seemed to be thrown off at the title, one spit out the water he was drinking, another one's eyes were bulging out so much they looked like they could pop out.

The guardian of the rose household paused and closed its eyes flapping its wings occasionally to keep hovering.

It focused on drawing energy from its surroundings, a red energy field surrounded it and it focused that energy into one point in its body. Until finally in a beautiful burst of red light, a single petal flew down.

Unlike the petals that the other title bears were given with their cool colors stuff. This petal was a regular rose petal just the ones that were outside of the mansion.

It slowly floated down like a feather falling down a cliff, all eyes were on it while the elders were standing up from their seats in shock seeing the petal.

In the white chamber with rose-red inscriptions glowing that simple petal floated down, it seemed to be the center of the world even though it looked like a normal rose.

The petal wasn't falling towards Jason, instead it was just letting gravity take over it as it slowly fell to the pristine white marble floor.

Jason reached out his hand thinking that it would be a waste for the rose petal to touch the floor. His outstretched hand reached out and his index finger made contact with the rose.

A blast of dark red energy emitted out of the rose petal as soon as Jason's fingers touched it. The blast at first exploded out of the petal-like a hungry feral tiger that would destroy anything in its way. But as the red energy made contact with Jason's arm it turned into a light red color that looked beautiful in Jason's eyes. The red energy spiraled around Jason's arm going up to his shoulder and finally stretching into his chest. As soon as the energy touched Jason's chest, the entire rose petal along with the vast pool of red energy flew into Jason's chest.

A notification came up to Jason

[descirption: a title only bestowed upon those the leader of the rose household thinks have the potential to become a legendary figure all rose household members will treat the bearer of this title with respect]

Lady Megra nodded to Jason who took the hint and walked back to the platoon. She countied standing and faced the entire platoon. The elders all stood up from their seats and faced the platoon members. No, the reborn roses.

Solemnly they all faced the platoon and Lady Megra spoke

"I now pronounce you rose knights"

The guardian of the rose household flew up above Lady Megra's wings, it spread out its wings like an eagle in flight. And suddenly in Jason and the platoon eyes, they saw the guardian expand its entire body growing so large a single one of its red wings could flatten the entire platoon.

Red flames burst from its red and orange feathered wings and a crown of flames replaced the orange feathers on the back of its head.

Its flames seemed to cast a golden light upon Lady Megra and the council of elders who were standing for the platoon. It was like the sun's rays were bursting out of the walls of the chamber as the guardian spread its wings its eyes lit with a crimson light.

Jason and the platoon blinked, and the guardian seemed to disappear in front of their eyes. After looking around with his eyes Jason noticed the guardian as a small bird again hovering above Lady Megra like usual as if nothing had happened.

Jason turned around to see the platoon also rubbing their eyes in disbelief. But a long-awaited notification came up for Jason at that moment.

[members of the (wolves of the rose platoon) see you as a trustworthy comrade]

Lady Megra smilled at the platoon who were stunned at finally receiving the title they had strove for their entire lives. She said in a clear voice

"what are you waiting for? proceed to the armory for your new amour and gear"

Both Jason and Boops were woken up by their stupor

Both of them were screaming internally as one of the elders personally stepped down to guide the platoon to the armory.

The entire platoon started to slowly wake up from their stupor as they followed the elder out of the chamber to the armory where they would receive amour that was worthy of a rose knight instead of the worn-out stuff they were wearing now.

Lady Megra and the rest of the council of elders smilled as they heard loud, excited screaming coming from the outside of the chamber as they rose knights started to realize who they were now.
