While tensions around the Name Hunt Station continued to increase, culminating in the arrival of several other noteworthy Rankers, the two most prestigious among them, Ha Yuri Jahad and Khun Maschenny Jahad, were gathered in the most luxurious VVIP Room located aboard ‘Kaiser’s Auction House’. Under normal circumstances, Yuri would have never bothered to meet with Maschenny, but, due to …

With his business largely complete, Vahn emerged from the Grand Gallery with Elaine following silently in his wake. He was, honestly speaking, tempted to just leave her behind, but, knowing this was the same as sentencing her to death, he ultimately allowed her to accompany him. Fortunately, while her presence made him feel a little uncomfortable, her delusions weren’t nearly …

Down to her last weapon, a dagger-like parrying blade with a hooked end, Elaine’s assault gradually slowed to a stop. It had taken her several minutes to reach this point, and, as a result, the tears from her eyes had largely ceased. Instead, a glimmer of conviction could be seen burning in their depths as she asked, “What do you …

Though there was a brief moment of hesitation before she took action, Elaine was ultimately able to show why she, of all people, had been selected to rule the Name Hunt Station. She had never been the type to simply ‘give up’ when her convictions had been questioned, as, even now, the two most important things to her were protecting …

Though he could have just teleported into Kaiser’s ‘Grand Gallery’, Vahn had never been that good at suppressing the more ‘playful’ aspects of his nature. As a result, he allowed Alphine to lead the way, an amused smile on his face as they silently passed the area where a powerful Shinsu bomb had been planted with the aim of killing …

Following the hasty departure of the two Princesses, Vahn and Co resumed their journey through the Name Hunt Station, a venture that sequentially brought them to an arena-like antechamber connected to what appeared to be an escalator. There, a seemingly young man with brown skin, ashen-white hair, and peculiar white eyes could be seen standing next to a blonde woman …

A stark contrast to Mash, who promptly hopped to her feet with shields in hand, Fenrir and Ryun just looked over lazily for a brief moment before gathering up all the cards and shuffling them. As for Jeanne, she brandished the banner of the Aldrnari Empire in a remarkably skillful manner, the silvery tip radiating a divine glow as she …

After spending a few hours liberating the Unnamed from their curse, Vahn departed from the now-abandoned floating island for the larger residence behind it. This was where all the Named Regulars stayed, and, compared to the slum-like residences reserved for the Unnamed, the accommodations here could even rival those prepared for Rankers. Unsurprisingly, nobody came out to ‘greet’ Vahn and …

Though she had yet to completely master the transformation, Mash was still able to transform into what was affectionately known as the ‘puppy’ form. This made her appear equal parts adorable and ferocious, contrasting traits that left people feeling incredulous even when she was baring her ivory white fangs. Not expecting his opponent to suddenly transform, Hesse took a moment …

Though she had never been particularly known for her speed, Mash’s rebirth as a Vanargandr more than made up for the qualities she had lacked as a human. It gave her an almost profane amount of flexibility, and, thanks to her training against the incomprehensibly fast Richard, her reaction speed and timing were on another level. Mash’s only real weakness …
