Chapter 35, Episode 35

[As they stood in the mystical Wrath Space, Quinn explained its significance]

Quinn: This place is a magical energy place, where you can title your magic. The fundamental Laws of Cosmos created this place, but it was found in the dark by other rules.

[Leo's eyes widened in amazement]

Leo: Oh... that's madness.

[Quinn nodded in agreement]

Quinn: Anyway, we better head back.

[As they returned to their world, they parted ways with a wave goodbye. Quinn's face flushed slightly as she said]

Quinn: Alright, Leo, thank you for your time... we shall see each other soon.

[Leo smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners]

Leo: Alright, Quinn, we shall meet soon.

[Their hands touched briefly as they waved, and Quinn's blush deepened]

[Leo's smile lingered as he watched her disappear into the distance, feeling a sense of excitement for their next meeting]

2 months later,

[The grand ceremony at Sagris Palace was in full swing, with guild members and guests mingling and enjoying the festivities]

[Leo's eyes widened as he took in the crowd]

Leo: Wow, every Guild member came to this party.

[Klaus approached him, a warm smile on his face]

Klaus: Hey young man, I see you've impressed us a lot in our guild, thank you. I'm the old captain of this guild, my name is Klaus

[Leo shook his hand, feeling a sense of respect]

Leo: Ahh, nice to meet you Klaus, my name is Leo Sebastián.

[As they chatted, Matthaus approached them, introducing himself with a firm handshake]

Matthaus: Hey Leo, I'm Matthaus, Matthaus Acqico from Black Phoenix, nice to meet you.

[Leo reciprocated, curious about the party's purpose]

Leo: I am Leo, nice to meet you Matthaus... Sagris invited us to the ceremony, but I don't know where he is or what the party's about.

[Matthaus filled him in]

Matthaus: It's about promotion and guild rankings.

[Leo's excitement grew]

Leo: Ohh, promotion!!!! I can't wait...

[Christo chimed in]

Christo: Another promotion again this year!!!!

[Just then, Sagris appeared, commanding everyone's attention]

Sagris: And now, I will begin to call out the ranks from each guild.

[The room fell silent, anticipation building as the promotion ceremony was about to begin]

[Sagris's voice echoed through the grand hall, announcing the promotions for the Ice Knights Guild]

Sagris: And now, I will be starting with Ice Knights Guild, but everyone would have to wait until everyone can clap.

[The room held its breath as Sagris began calling out the names and ranks]

Sagris: Blaze Roulacase, your rank would be a General.

[The room erupted in applause as the Ice Knights Guild members stepped forward, their new ranks announced to the entire gathering. The atmosphere was electric, with excitement and pride filling the air]

Leo: They have been promoted to such a high level, that's a huge boost..

Klaus: Is because, they have been working harder than us, especially Quinn, she is the strongest of all in their group... She might be even stronger than Christo himself..

[The air was filled with a sense of camaraderie and anticipation for the challenges ahead]

[Leo's eyes widened in surprise]

Leo: Ohh, I am National General? I am genuinely shocked.

[Issac chuckled]

Issac: C'mon, I'm a General, still, I would surpass you Leo, let's make a Deal..

Leo: and whats the deal?

Issac: We would see who becomes the grand Emperor First...

Leo: Alright Deal!!!

[Klaus smiled, nodding in approval]

Klaus: Sagris recognized every bit of members in the guild and he knows everyone and how hard they fought...

[Just then, a group of familiar faces approached Klaus. Kurina, Elaine, Sao, Haschwalth, and Staril greeted him warmly]

Elaine: Hey Klaus, it's been a long time since we met... welcome back.

[Elaine said]

[Sao added]

Sao: You've dramatically changed...

[Haschwalth turned to Leo, a hint of surprise in his voice]

Haschwalth: Hi Leo, you just came to this guild, and you're already promoted to National General? That's a huge boost.

[Staril nodded in agreement]

Staril: Ya, very huge boost.

[Leo smiled, feeling a sense of gratitude]

Leo: Thanks, guys...

[Before he could say more, Quinn's voice echoed through the hall, her excitement infectious]

Quinn: Leooooo, My sweet Leo...

[As Quinn face turned slightly red as she head towards him]

[Leo's face turned slightly red as the others teased him]

Luna: Looks like somebody has a partner...

[Luna chimed in, playfully mocking Leo.]

Luna: Bruh, why do you always go to Quinn... you stupid Leo...

[As Quinn approached Leo, her face lit up with a bright smile]

Quinn: Congratulations Leo, you will forever be mine.

[Her cheeks flushed slightly, adding to her charm]

[Leo chuckled, feeling a bit self-conscious]

Leo; Sure, whatever you say Quinn... but would you mind getting off me?

[Quinn playfully pouted, then nodded]

Quinn: Alright, alright, fine. I would let you off the hook this time. I will catch you up later. My guild is leaving... Bye.

[With a wave, she turned to leave, her long hair flowing behind her]

[Luna watched Quinn's departure with a scowl on her face]

Luna: Ugh... I hate her so bad. Wish I could change her destiny with my own hands.

[Her face twisted in a mock-angry expression, Issac and Leo held her back, laughing]

Issac: Chill, Luna. It seems like you're jealous of her.

[Issac teased]

[Luna's scowl deepened]

Luna: Heck no... she just keeps bothering our guild a lot.

[Her words were laced with a mix of frustration and amusement, as if she couldn't quite decide how to feel about Quinn's antics]

[As everyone exited the palace, the atmosphere was electric with joy and celebration]

[Each guild member went their separate ways, eager to enjoy their well-deserved downtime. Laughter and chatter filled the air as friends and allies reunited, sharing stories and making plans for future adventures]
