"Is that so? Hmph, Six? The lowest Upper Rank. Even if it was only Six, you still defeated an Upper Rank. How very commendable. I suppose I could even spare you a word or two of praise."
Obanai Iguro looked at Lin Guang and Tengen Uzui, his words dripping with sarcasm, especially toward Lin Guang.
Lin Guang smiled faintly and looked at Obanai Iguro. "Are you jealous of us, Obanai Iguro?"
Obanai Iguro looked at Lin Guang with disgust.
"Jealous?"
"That's right. You're jealous that we got to fight Upper Rank Demons, jealous that we killed them so quickly that you didn't get a chance to take part. Most importantly, you're jealous that I got to fight two Upper Rank Demons."

He thought of the way Mitsuri looked at Lin Guang, a look Obanai Iguro had never dared hope for.

With that, Lin Guang
