Eren kept on listening to Alephee's words as he smoked. He chuckled when he felt Alehee's voice had become softer while explaining things to him. He knew the reason.
'Don't worry, Alephee. I'm not down or anything after learning that I'm not qualified enough to understand these things. It was just that I felt anticipatory tiredness after learning that I had to be in the B-Rank.
My advantages from my previous timelines almost stopped working in my favor after I entered D-Rank. I was at a solid stage in that rank, just a step away from entering C-Rank.
So the maximum I can push my luck of having an expedited ranking journey would be when I reach C-Rank. And even that is going to be a while.'
Eren said and sighed. He then lay on the green ground on his back and stretched his arms and legs before bridging his right hand closer to his mouth. He took a short drag out of his smoke and kept it inside his lungs.
