Sage turned his attention to Mina, who stood before him, clutching two Mission Dockets in her small hands.
Raising an eyebrow, Sage smiled. "Looks like you're eager to win this hidden quest, huh?"
Mina lifted her chin proudly, resembling a peacock. "Of course I want to win! I don't want to always be second; I want to be ahead of everyone else."
"Oh, is that so?" Sage grinned mischievously. "Even ahead of your elder sister? So you must be stronger than her, right?"
"Ehhh..." Mina was momentarily taken aback but quickly regained her composure. She shook her head with a flushed face. "No, no, no! That doesn't count; my sister is out of it."
"Whatever," Sage said with a roll of his eyes as he took the Mission Dockets from her and processed them.
Mina snatched the Dockets back and tucked them under her waist. Turning defiantly towards Gregor, she declared, "Look here, green bush, I'm going to be the first Adventurer to advance to Copper Rank!"
