"I did." Hearing Valyr's words, Wells nodded in agreement before chuckling and grinning as if he had just played a prank on his good friend.
"When did you ascend?" Of course, as his friend, Valyr was glad that Wells had ascended to the next class rank, considering the many benefits that ascending offered aside from an increase in strength.
If anything, the only reason why he had realized his friend had ascended through sensing his aura was because of the same feeling Wells' aura gave him while he was interacting with Hal and the others earlier.
"While you were away, actually." Hearing this answer from Wells, Valyr's eyes widened in slight surprise, expecting the former to have thought about ascending to the next class rank for quite some time. Fortunately, Wells' reasoning behind his ascension while Valyr was away was more than enough for the latter to realize that his friend had indeed put a lot of thought into it.
