[center][h3]Lupa[/h3][/center] [hr] Lupa was rather curious about the demonness who took away her master. She was rather fond of her friend, and eagerly chased after them. The youthful wolf thought for a moment and looked at the girl for a moment, wondering if she really was that kind. Then again, she was giving her master a piggyback ride! Maybe she can get one too! Quickly hopping on Okami's back, she used her paws to wrap around his neck and seemed like a backpack of sorts on his back. Lupa's tail was wagging back and forth rather quickly from how excited and fun she was having. The sun was nice...a warm body to rest/lean on...the scores in the sky...scores? Lupa immediately looked for her master's name, and gave a small whimper in sadness. Their score was the one of the lowest...and she wanted to find a way to remedy that. But first, wake up master! She gave a thank you bark to the demonness for taking care of Okami as she took a large bite on the top of his head... [hr] [center][h3]Okami[/h3][/center] "AGHHH LUPA I GET IT, I'M AWAKE!" Okami immediately rolls off of Vilivyn to remove Lupa from his head. She seemed to be giggling of sorts from his reaction and retreated back into her Catalyst to rest up now. He shakes his head sighing and notices that he was away from the area they were in before and close to the middle. Turning to Vilivyn and patting her on the head, Okami laughs a bit and smiles at her. "Thanks for having my back there, now let's see those results." The usual cheerful boy hurries off as soon as he takes one long glance at the sky. [i]What! Pops told me Unison Form gets you practically a guaranteed spot in the top twenty! Ugh, I'm not going to hear the end of this...all the guys at the tavern making fun of me.[/i] Okami sprints off rather quickly as he left Vilivyn, Faera, and Alba in the dust. "Sorry, I'll meet you guys in the middle! We'll celebrate everyone passing soon, just give me a moment!" [@Lady Athena][@Cherrywitch][@RabidAnubis] "WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT FORM DOESN'T COUNT ANYMORE!" Okami was at the booth talking to the judges there who were taking in many complaints...though Okami really just managed to hop on over rather quickly since the line moved so slowly. The judges explained to him that the Unison Form were not allowed to use in the trial for the adventurer's license and that he should be glad that he passed instead of complaining. Okami was half tempted to rip up the license they handed over to him which states: Okami Sven Rank 35 of the Adventurer's Trial: Side-Winder He was really upset with his score and was taking out his frustration...in a rather interesting way. Looking for the nearest tree that was close to the portal, the boy started to climb and jump around in it to take out all the pent up rage energy generated from the results. Lupa came out of her Catalyst to watch this event happen...taking a peaceful nap on a nearby stone. Okami did wave at the others to come over and did wave at Lena and Tania since they were relatively close too. Still, he kept on climbing and jumping around rather quickly among the branches of the large tree... [@Rune_Alchemist] [hr] [h3][center]Sponsored or Debt Repaid[/center][/h3] There were also a few who were coming in through the portal to receive their licenses that were sponsored or even paid fully by certain factions due to reasons that cannot be made to the public. However, they did earn these licenses in some way but did not receive a legitimate ranking due to not attending the trial. A few who got these licenses were: Baldur Von Belger Given by Church of the Lord: Front-Liner Rolle Given by the Church of the Lord: Side-Winder Kiara Bastion Given by the Flaming Heart: Controlled The adventurers already passed by the portal a while ago and may have been in the line to get their licenses or already on their way back to the portal. Nevertheless, they did pass by Okami, or Lena, or any of the other adventurers who were heading back...who knows...

Of course one of the sons of the Duquious Family got first place in such an easy event! You all should follow me, if you want to reach the top of the Tower! Join the strongest, and you'll become one of legends....second to me of course."[/color] A rich, noble with blond hair and two servants...a maid and a butler...seemed to accompany him as he stood at the main podium from before and kept bragging. Well, his arguments were convincing enough and he did get a lot of supporters from many new adventurers who were coming to him for guidance. Who can argue against the best after all? However, he did seem to glance at the other races who weren't human in the faction of supporters he got...and also seemed to look at the distant Okami with a smirk of sorts. The noble kept on boasting and bragging, seeming like he won't end and his voice for some reason was amplified so all in the vicinity can hear him quite easily... [color=gold]"I highly suggest all you new adventurers join me...though those who don't will be considered against me. You have been warned!"[/color] [@Legion02][@Duoya]
