The sun had finally reached its peak and would soon begin its descent across the sky. That marked the beginning of the afternoon. All the while, Guard Royale continued and the latter half of the day's fight would start soon.

Ayjen did a double-take at Nelphy and then looked at the brackets. "Oh… I'm sorry, Nelphy, but Jash won't be moving on."
Squinting in frustration, Nelphy questioned, "And why is that? If Ribard is such a famous mercenary, how come I haven't heard of him?"
