What happened at the church entrance is something that could occur anywhere.
A rather common scene: human children competing to brag about who knows the most impressive people!
For a remote place like Harrison Port, ordinary kids probably can't even spell the Grant Family's name correctly, so it's unrealistic to expect them to name any Sublimators aside from the Viscount and the Bishop.
And in the end, who won the competition...
The answer is self-evident.
"At this point, my brother is unquestionably the strongest in South Ridge!"
A crowd of children munching on roasted sausages, fried fish, beans, and chilled jellyfish were being awed into silence by Elan, who exuded a natural authority while munching on his grilled sausage. For a moment, no one could counter his claims.
Couple that with Ian's years of cultivating a reputation as the quintessential "golden child," and everyone couldn't help but feel, "What he's saying actually makes sense."
