"Look at the person who accompanied him here. Don't you find her familiar?" she replied, prompting him to take a closer look.
Art's gaze then fell on the person Valerius was with, finding her familiar. She was Marissa, an administrator of the association, and right now should be her working hours. Since she had come here with Valerius at this time of the day when she should be busy with work, it could only mean she was here to lay witness to his battle capability and assess if he was worthy of a rank change.
Believing that Valerius was indeed here for a rank change left Art shocked.
Since hearing news about Valerius's feats in the spirit veins awakening ceremony, he had been keeping tabs on him. He knew Valerius had become a rank-1 licensed wizard not too long ago.
Now that he was here for a rank change, it could only mean he had advanced to the low-rank wizard stage.
