Bab 75: 75 - Surprise

"You know we're screwed, right?" Jasper said to Noah in a slightly uncertain voice.

Noah knew very well what he was talking about. "Yes, we were definitely not lucky. But believe in your potential Jasper! I suppose our group is already much better than the average groups made up of Blessed Rank D. You even told me that before I joined the group you just hadn't gone up to Rank D because you felt something was missing, and that with me in the group that 'something' was finally complete. I think we really have a good chance."

Thinking about what Noah said, Jasper blew out a breath and had to agree. "That's true. At least going to explore the unknown turns me on a lot! I feel like a new Blessed once again, going to a Fortress for the first time."

The two had built up a good friendship in the past several weeks. It wasn't to the point that they went out to have fun together after the Fortresses yet, but they weren't that far from that point.
