She was pleased with herself, as just yesterday she attained rank 10 by defeating Danielle in the monthly tournament. She had put up a bit of a fight, and had actually stuck Kate with a throwing blade in her left shoulder. But, it wasn't long before Kate got wrapped around her and swallowed her down.<span style="font-style: italic">Maybe now I'll be able to face a real challenge...</span>Now that she was rank 10, she was allowed to take on actual bounties. She knew the Master would have to give her one, since she was certain to want to test her. The Convent had never had a naga as a member, and had no idea what potential they could possess. Continuing to stretch, Kate looked over to the girl walking up to her.<br/>"Kate, I was told to give this to you..." The woman was a bit jaded. "It's your first mark."<br/>"Thanks, Sheila."<span style="font-style: italic">Heh, she's jealous...</span>Sheila had attained rank 10 in the last tournament also, and was outraged that the mark had been given to Kate. Sheila turned and left, masking her anger.<br/>Kate opened the message to see the details of her mark.
