At the ballroom of the General's palace, after Prince Bryon made a toast, the promotion party officially began.

The guests wasted no time mangling with each other and forming groups at the party.

As for the 4 new Majors they were all together chatting and constantly getting congratulated by the guests.

The aim of the party was for the newly promoted Majors to meet and get to know those of the same rank and even higher as well.

'Doesn't seem I am welcomed over there.' Blake thought as he saw the glares shot at him by the 4 Majors.

"You should have seen the looks on most of the people in this room when you were called up." Camilla said as she came up to him.

Many were unhappy about Blake's promotion because not only had he not advanced to the Demigod realm, but he hadn't even been in the corps for up to a year.

The jealousy of someone way younger surpassing them blinded them to Blake's numerous achievements.

Blake's investigative skills led to 100's of raids on gangs. He was the sole reason for the expulsion of the Cobra mob in 2 cities, which also led to the restructuring of Duststar and the arrests of hundreds of corrupt officials and nobles in the city.

Apart from his investigative skills, Blake and his unit had the highest contribution to the expansion of the city walls. Not only had his assigned area had the best performance, but he was the one that discovered the source of the attacks on the walls and had played an important role in killing the black tortoise through Ebony and Ivory.

Also, he was the main reason the development of the eastern region was possible in the first place.

"Humans and jealousy." Camilla shook her head as she saw that little to no one was approaching Blake to congratulate him.

"Although it might sound like I am trying to console myself, I kinda like it this way. I don't have to act like I care about their congratulations. Besides, I can't bother with people that I have no use for." Blake said making Camilla even more proud of her boyfriend.

Ignoring the crowd, Blake and Carmilla began continued chatting, but it didn't take long before Prince Bryon alongside Colonel Darius walked up to them.

"You and Luciano remind me a lot of each other." Prince Byron said with a chuckle.

"I guess we rubbed off a lot on each other." Blake laughed when he realized that Luciano would have exactly done the same thing in this situation.

Seeing Bryon and Darius approach Blake attracted the attention of everyone in the ballroom.

"Luciano would have loved to be here but unfortunately he is currently on a mission at the southern." Prince Bryon.

"He had already congratulated me in advance and that is more than enough for me." Blake replied with a big smile on his face.

"Is it me or are my senses failing me?"

The other guests as well as the 4 newly promoted majors were shocked to see how carefree Blake was when speaking with Prince Bryon. The funny part of the entire situation was that even Colonel Darius and Camilla who were beside them were shocked.

From the tasks and commands that were given to him concerning Blake, Darius knew that Blake and Prince Bryon had some kind of connection, but he had no clue they were this close.

After they were done talking, Darius congratulated Blake before he and Prince Bryon left the ballroom.

'Nobody messes with my people and gets away with it!' An angry voice in Bryon's head growled while he maintained his signature smile and walked out of the room.

Prince Bryon's exit was silent, but it spoke volumes; it simply meant that no one else was worth his time!

This made the newly promoted Majors feel embarrassed while the guests were thinking of how to get on Blake's good side.

After Prince Bryon was done talking with him, Major Reeves alongside Major Briggs came to congratulate him, before leaving him and Camilla alone.

"You know, I have always been very good at ignoring the existence of people, but you seem to have perfected the art." Camilla said.

"There is nothing special about me, it's just that I am too focused on my goals. So people that don't help me in one way or another to achieve them don't matter to me." Blake said as he shot an ash corp who was approaching a mean glare, causing him to immediately change direction.

'Can't these guys take a hit?!' Blake thought as he sensed someone else coming from behind. He immediately turned to give the person a death glare but to his greatest surprise, it was a very familiar face.

'Orange-hair, Hazel, tom-boy vibes, thick thighs… Michelle Nystrom!' Blake immediately recognized one of the jaw-droppers back in Magic school.

"I didn't know you were in Calton; how come I never saw you until now?" Blake couldn't help but ask.

Right from their days in the Magic school, everyone knew that Michelle was surely joining the ash corps. So Blake was shocked to find out that she wasn't there.

"That was because I had joined the Ash corps at the capital. I was transferred back to Calton yesterday." Michelle answered.

"By the way, congratulations Major Blake, I look forward to working under you." Michelle said with a smile.

"Thank you." Blake said.

"So why were you transferred to Calton?" Camilla asked with a fake smile on her face.

"The capital is filled with many talents just like us. So I requested for a transfer because the competition was now too unhealthy." Michelle answered without taking her eyes off Blake.

"What department are you in?" Blake asked.

"Special ops. As a matter of fact, I am actually a captain of a unit that would soon be assigned to you." Michelle said, leaving both Camilla and Blake shocked for different reasons.
