At noon, there was a ceremony held in the Lotus Chamber for the surviving acolytes. During which, elders presented each of them with the customary set of [Black Dragon Robes], to commemorate their promotions into fully-fledged [Dragon Monks].
But Akira couldn't care less, and Kanna couldn't even show up while she was still being tended after by chi healers. Then there was the [Scrawny Monk], who had fallen completely mute ever since his intimate encounter with Purple Fox. So it would seem, out of them all only Ai was the least bit excited by the whole affair—running up to Guy Fly, who was present in the attending crowd of acolytes, monks, and instructors, just as soon as she'd received her black robe.
Kiki was also among those in attendance, bitterly watching the two kiss and hug before then walking up to Akira with a warm smile.
"I'm glad you're alive," she said, then bent to kiss Akira on the top of her head.
