“«Temple Saber» fell to C-rank?”
I parroted back the information Aegis, standing before me, told, and looked at her in confusion. I thought my ears were ringing.
“Yes. Dias-senpai of «White Saber» contacted me to inform me about it. It’s already the hot topic of the moment in the news.”
With a composed expression, Aegis somberly nodded at my doubt.
——«Temple Saber».
A former A-rank guild, and one the foremost force in this academy. The guild used to have that record. At its peak, it was brimming with students of «Knight Baron» category—prominent among them were the job «Knight» and «Squire». They’re every bit envious—cough, I mean strong.
Also, they’re the parent guild of Aegis’s formed guild «White Saber».
With their former experience as A-rank guild, along with the 11 advanced job holders, they were supposed to be in the park with B-rank guild «Muscles are the strongest» guild.
But as the summer vacation ended, so did the ban on «Ranking Battle».
«Ranking Battle» typically had one month buffer time before another they were made to/choose to fight others. Though with summer vacation in between, the buffer time was as good as non-existence.
I heard that this season last year had been much more chaotic. Guild battles or parties worked on their internal cooperative spirit, but what if due to home visit and other activities, students missed each other spirit? The other guilds had often targeted this weak point to get a raise in ranking.
‘Hey-hey, isn’t this move quite dastardly?’ must have been everyone;s thought, but the ranking were often overturned after one month—or more like, put them back to how they should be.
