The bell rang loudly, an indication that it was lunchtime. Yami groaned from exhaustion from all the mental stress he had to endure.
"Ying, are you okay?" Shun asked while fixing his books.
"Yes, I am fine," Yami stated with a loud sigh. "Let's go eat lunch. I'm starving."
"Okay," Shun and Mei stated in unison before taking their lunch boxes. They were about to leave the classroom when their friends blocked their way.
"Shun, Ying, Mei! Congratulations on becoming an official Combatant!" their friends exclaimed with their eyes sparkling with admiration.
"Ha!? How did you guys know?" Shun exclaimed in surprise. His classmates knew he was a trainee before, but he didn't tell them that he rose to Master rank.
"Yesterday, the Defender base updated their website list of official Combatants, and I saw your names! I'm a huge fan!" their male classmate exclaimed with excitement and showed them his phone with their names on the screen.
