In VRG. Those with high ranking gain countless skills, from controlling an element to having special attributes. But this only focused on those who have the talent and skill to fight, survive and unlock it.
But...
Flying is a whole different story. All Players knew only Diamond player or higher could fly.
There are other ways of flying. Like; using a Card, a Skill or a pet. But all these are expensive for low rank players.
Only diamond or higher ranks players could have the Mana required to be able to fly without using a card, skill or pet. These group of players have complete control over their Mana. Which made them the most dangerous forces in VRG.
That was the reason everyone was shock in place seeing Michael could fly. Something only a diamond player could do, even Jennifer who is a gold medal player don't have the Mana to perform this feat.
