( Rocky's POV )
After his lunch with Buhara, Rocky took a quick shower back at his apartment within the Upside and returned to the True Elites Guild, looking prim and proper for the meeting with the Guildmasters.
Rocky had half expected that his presence would not be taken seriously by the various Guildmasters, just like it wasn't during the meeting for the monster raid. However, this time things seemed to be different.
After his performance in the monster raid, the view that the various Guildmasters held towards him seemed to have changed a lot.
No longer was he viewed as a young brat who was out of his depth while making war plans, as this time around everyone seemed to respect him and also attach gravitas to the words that he spoke.
When he spoke during the meeting, everyone else went silent and respected his words, which was a refreshing feeling for Rocky since he did not expect to be treated as an equal.
