Nookbury City

"HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T! HOLY SH*T!! EVERYONE! URGENT NEWS!!" A black-haired young man with a scholarly physique and the most average of faces suddenly entered Raven's Blade's branch headquarters with a loud bang.

The young man appeared exhausted, however, he looked excited, as though he couldn't even wait to finish breathing.

Naturally, upon hearing the words of the black-haired young man, both guild members and staff, including Aya and Shauna, couldn't help but subconsciously turn their attention to the panting guild member, eager to hear what he had to say.

"What happened, Jimmy?" A concerned guildsman with red hair and muscular physique asked Jimmy, the exhausted guildsman, with a curious expression.

"I-I just checked Balkrow City's Rookie Rankings, and there are now two Raven's Blade rookies on the board!" Jimmy excitedly replied, appearing as though the rookie who made it on the rankings was none other than himself.
