"Elias Yun is on the rise, is on the return, to the South Korea Olympic team with all the wins his team, the Bloodhounds, have been racking up this season in Korea, I expect a very triumphant return, a very interesting season it's been so far so..."

"...Yun family has undergone major controversy under issues of the lack of the appearance of their head, Byungho Yun. Many are suspecting things are going to be changing very soon for the Yuns..."

"Elias is a beast, he's a beast, that's all there really is, man. He's younger than more than half the industry and he's got more money and wins than that chunk combined. The Olympics wants him for a reason, hell, I want him on the Olympic team for USA, South Korea has won enough..."

"I want a Kane King and Elias Yun face-off myself, I think that'd just be a match worth the world's attention. Two elite college racers head to head, Drachmann Alpha against Drachmann Alpha, I think the world would listen, hell, King might get scooped up by the Olympics along with it..."

"...with reports of continuous bike stealing and vandalism amidst the ongoing controversy on the rise over whether or not low-ranking racers should be among high-succeeding racers, and if the risk is worth it. Protestors on both sides make valid arguments for and against mixing ranks..."

"Due to the ongoing rise of threats in the NCAA, many coaches are coming forward to admit they wouldn't consider admitting any low-ranking racers onto their team, despite their potential, for 'the safety of their team and its well-being'. Corvus, the start of all this controversy, has not made a statement or a comment about their own experience for a while now..."

"...spread of vandalism, now not only to NCAA racers, but to Stirling packs themselves. Increasing reports of threats mailed to houses, spray-painted onto windows like the one behind me, and even pasted onto cars or workplaces have stirred a lot of controversy on social media about withdrawing Stirlings from D1 teams to keep the pack's bystanders safe..."

"I don't agree with mixing classes like that, it sets up those like us. They dangle that 'taste of success' in front of our faces, but look around you, you know, it's just stirring up trouble where there don't need to be none..."

The Stirling pack Eval was an annual test for ages fifteen to thirty five, covering everything from basic intelligence to physical endurance to square racing skill. In all pack Evals, lycans could choose a concentration to be evaluated by, and although all skills were tested, one was chosen to be weighted. Evals could be anywhere from once a year to once every five years. At the end of each Eval, you were given a score, a final rank, and a new registration uploaded to your government profile.

The Stirling Eval was an annual occurrence, and one that I attended for sake of saving face. I was a ghost only to those who knew, and the rest of the world that didn't, was better off chewing on the fake profile Mercy had conjured up for me to go under in the meantime. It was imperative nothing about my secondary profile changed, and being under the spotlight of Corvus, she couldn't stress it enough. Moving up a Class would draw my brother's attention too quick and too far. That being said, it sacrificed everyone else's attentions for it.
