'Currently level ten thousand, five hundred and eighty five. Guardian Protector has just been released. Level will correlate with Guardian Protector. Current Attributes, all attributes besides Divinity.'

Gracie read those words over and over again, unable to believe what she had seen.

"Gracie?..." Chester asked, concerned with the girl's reaction.

Gracie pulled herself together and put on a calm facade, responding casually,"Oh...Nothing...Just surprised at how much I've levelled up...I'm currently at level seven hundred and twenty eight..."

"Good progress...Alright. We'll meet back in a few days after the head commanders have everything settled...That is all. Dismissed." Chester waved his arms dismissively and walked off, surrounded by the commanders.

Gracie, Emma, Arceus and group met up.

"You okay G?" Emma asked, their relationship was quite close, perhaps it was due to them both being unable to easily mix with the other females that they found solace that they had a female companion they could depend on.

"Yeah. The rabbit did a number on me but I'm already good. No stupid rabbit's gonna hold me down." Gracie replied.

Emma nodded,"So...Has everyone decided what they want to focus on?"

"I'm gonna focus on training as a paladin." Lucas jumped up, excited by the prospects of being both a damage dealer and healer.

Jason and Ryan went with being mages, keen on magic, yet weren't fit for athleticism.

Madeline and Cheryl went with being mages whilst May wanted to be a paladin, like Lucas.

Angeline went with being an assassin, no one understood why, but respected her decision.

Ryan clenched his hands, his face appearing calm.

"Joel...I'll find you...I know you aren't dead...I'll kill that son of a bit*h rabbit that hurt you...We're brothers from different mothers. I can't just leave you behind..." Ryan thought beside his head.

Jason patted Ryan comfortingly on his back,"It'll be fine...He'll be fine. As long as we don't give up on him."

The two had gotten closer from the loss in the form of Joel.

They both had one thing in mind.

Find Joel.

"I'm going to be a warrior." Jason said with a slight smile.

"I'll be a mage and support from behind." Ryan replied.

Gary, the quiet one in the group, chose to be an assassin whilst Alex chose to be a mage too.

Arceus clapped his hands together,"Great! We'll be heading for training!"

Gracie interrupted with a troubled look,"Uh actually...Could you get someone to cover for me? I need to figure some...Things out..."

Arceus gave a concerned look to Gracie,"Is something the matter? I'm your friend you know? You can tell me anything you know?"

Gracie gave a small smile and nodded in understanding,"I know...I just need today off..."

"I understand. I'll ask..." Arceus shivered," That crazy woman..."

Gracie giggled,"Oh come on A, she's not that bad after you get to know her. Give her a chance."

Arceus sighed in defeat,"Alright...Alright..."

"That's the spirit. I'll ask for you."

Gracie went up to Emma who was standing at the side doing god knows what.
