As Liam stepped out of the evaluation room, the air erupted with cheers and applause. The watchers and guild members alike clapped and shouted, their faces a mix of excitement and admiration. Liam walked toward his guild members, his expression calm but tinged with exhaustion.
Jake and Kevin rushed forward, their faces beaming with pride. "Liam, that was incredible!" Jake exclaimed, clapping him on the back. "You did it! You scored A rank!"
Kevin nodded in agreement, his glasses slipping down his nose as he smiled. "We're so proud of you, Liam. You've proven yourself today."
Liam nodded, a small smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "Thanks, guys. It means a lot."
They led him to a nearby couch, where he sat down with a sigh of relief. Jake handed him a pineapple shake, the glass cold and sweating in his hand. Liam's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked up at Jake with a grateful smile. "Thanks, Jake. I appreciate it."
