Heading toward the quest board, he hesitated. Recently upgraded to the rank of C by the guild master, it meant access to higher-ranked missions. But as he scanned the quests, nothing quite caught his eye. He strolled back toward the D-rank section, eyeing the familiar requests. Despite the upgraded rank, the C-rank missions didn't offer the payout he'd hoped for. His eyes shifted to the adjacent B-rank section, and a whistle escaped his lips. “100,000 Jewels? That’s ten times what those D-ranks were paying. Am I being shortchanged here?”
Intrigued, he wandered over to the B-rank area, casually browsing through the requests. “These seem rather standard.” A hint of annoyance colored his tone; he wasn't thrilled about still being restricted from soloing these missions. Lumi was nowhere to be found either, and he pondered convincing her to sign up for some company and casual banter. Hand on his hip, he leaned a bit, arms crossed, and muttered, “Lame.”
