The next day after returning, as they were told before, Raze and his group were transported and promoted to the Red Headband group. Although they knew about it beforehand, it was news to the rest of the groups.
The Blue Headband users watched them give their final goodbyes to their teachers. Raze even gave a little wink toward teacher Tod, who had caused a few problems for him while he was there.
The Blue Headband students were delighted that those from the group, those no-names, were getting appreciation, as it started to give them a bit of hope as well.
"They really did it, those no-names, all of them are Red Headbands now. I thought they would have at least gone to Yellow first."
"What else was the academy meant to do? They beat the best of the Red Headband users. If they didn't get promoted to Red, then what would that even mean? It just wouldn't make any sense. This is the only thing they could do."
