As they walked through the quiet street, Master Song used the opportunity to explain more about his guild to Rider and his crew.
"The Red Eastern guild," he began, his hands clasped behind his back as they walked between the towering structures, "is seen as formidable all over the world and treated with respect, but just to some extent."
Master Song continued. "We have earned the title of the fastest rising guild and have quite some strength and facilities to back it up, but that was just only enough to bring us among the top 100 strongest guilds in the world."
The revelation hit Ryder like a cold splash of water to the face. Despite how Master Song seemed so strong that even he—the only black marked summoner who contracted a beast from the demon plane—doubted if he could ever win against him in battle, despite all this overwhelming power, the Red Eastern guild still ranked as just one of the top 100 strongest guilds in the world.
