Red Rank accomplished and Ash's death?

After 3 days...

September 11th, 1313

One of the guild messengers came and delivered a letter to Ash and his team. Guild master Julia asked them to meet her.

They took bath and immediately made way to the inn. Ash looked at the system and in few hours system is supposed to come back online and he has been on edge because Red Rank confirmation isn't there yet.

"Good Morning." greeted Julia.

"Good morning." replied all of them.

"The reason I've asked you all to come is to tell that the headquarters has approved that you all can be ascended to red rank. Congratulations." said Julia.

Ash on hearing those words felt relief wash over but he still did not get careless.

"There seems to be a "But" coming." asked Rose.
