"Mikaela, congratulation on becoming a gold ranker!" praised Alana while raising her juice-filled wooden mug.
"Thank you for your kind words" Mikaela lifted her own mug and the two made a gentle toss in the air.
"Ahhhh, I'm jealous of your achievement"
Alana drank the content in her mug in one gulp and declared what she truly felt without any sugar coating to her friend. Seeing Mikaela's achievement brought forth an undeniable sense of envy. Yet, her congratulatory earlier was sincere. A complicated feeling, for an uncomplicated person.
"I'm sure you'll catch up in no time"
Mikaela understood what kind of emotion taking root in Alana's heart, it was clearly shown in her tone of voice and gesture. After all, being an upper ranked adventurer originally a dream belonged to her, whilst she only used it for convenience sake. Though, the effort she gave and elated sensation from achieving a certain goal was no less genuine.
