Point-of-View: Argent Stryker

"I must apologize. Unfortunately, there are no Platinum ranked Adventurers currently available, all of them are on quests at the moment, and are unlikely to return to town within the day. We can postpone your next duel, or alternatively...we could make an exception and have your next opponent be a Diamond rank. Depending on your performance, you may be approved for Platinum rank even if you are defeated," The receptionist informed me.
Hm...that's a tough one. Realistically speaking, my chances against a Diamond rank probably aren't very good. I mean, my mother was a retired Diamond rank, and I never defeated her even once during sparring sessions.
