"Bah! You are no fun at all, Jer. Look what being an Adept has done to you. You lost your playful side. Even though you left me behind and steered ahead of me, I'm not envious.
I don't want to become a hardass like you when I break into the D-Rank.
*cough cough cough* Ptui!"
Gerish huffed and coughed and spat on the ground. Rankers would usually not get colds or flu-- like that of unranked mortals. The fact that Gerish had a cough conveyed his condition as a ranker. If he wanted to survive, he had to break into D-Rank. Otherwise, he would die of old age.
Jerry or Jer as Gerish liked to call him was leading the group of two E-Rankers and one F-Ranker. One of the E-Rankers was in the initial stage while the other was in the middle stage.
'Two more E-Rankers. Fuck.'
