My life as a Vorpal E Rank, so far, was barely any different, all considered. Other than for the fact it was that much closer to D Rank, which at the very least would constitute an escape from the proverbial Hell that is the barracks, into a far more preferable co-ed dorm situation. And so, it was likely for this reason that my classmates, at this rank, were decidedly more competitive...
Nowhere has this been more evident than in the Crown Cup Battle scene. Where, across the dozen or so matches I've fought, there've been one or two pretty scary close calls. I've won some, and lost some; but with my overall win rate sitting at a healthy 67% percent, it's looking like I'll be a rank D in no time.
Just to break it down...
I've been fighting crown matches four times a week, throughout the month that has passed since I advanced to E Rank.
4...8...12. That's 12 matches total.
