Thanks For The Exam!
After William's evaluation was complete, the Signature ID Card was updated, and his status elevated to Excellent Cultivator. The ranking of 292 was enough to tell William that he wasn't overly high-profile, so he didn't think about it too much.
To him, it was just a matter of fact, something he had hardly even worked for.
Vera, however, was ecstatic. After William's first test, Vera already considered him to be above average. Out of the thousands of Cultivators that registered in Great Rouge each year, William was on the better end.
Recruiting fresh new Cultivators to support Great Rouge was part of Vera's job, even if she only did it a few times a year. To find William at completely random could be considered a stroke of luck.
