Ethan turned to her with an amused look, "Come on. Who else do you know who hit the third phase within a month, with little to absolutely no time for training because they're running the largest business in the country?"
Bella smiled, conceding the point. "First point goes to you. But I did get to the third phase in a short amount of time when I trained my Guardian class for a bit."
She paused, then added, "And just so you know, it's also one of the fastest phases to reach for Guardians with high talent."
Ethan rolled his eyes, then, as if it had just occurred to him, said, "Wait. We never really talk about the fact that you're actually a Guardian too."
Bella sighed. "It's not a class I find appealing. It could get me sweaty."
Ethan smiled, then asked, "What talent level is it at?"
"A," she said.
Ethan's eyes widened slightly, and he nodded, rather impressed. "That's pretty high."
