Naming a team is a common practice, even expected and there are lots of popular teams out there just as powerful as any Guilds. But Jael sighed. "I doubt that's what brought you here today, Thayer. Not the name we will or will not give our team."
Litha nodded along with him and glared at the golden boy. "You come here because you have something in your sight again and you think we can give it to you. Sorry but no."
Thayer sobered, his smile dimmed. "Litha, about last time...."
"Shove it," Litha interrupted, she looked him straight in the eyes. "It's all business and this is the Tower. I'm the one that should be thanking you that you stay with us to the end."
Thayer shifted uncomfortably, this was the first time he's seeing her thank someone like this before and apart from that, he helped only because they could repay him back. Because he was investing in their potential.
Immediately Litha was back to her briskly self. "So what's it? You can leave now that I've had my say, return to your Guild and get them ready for tomorrow."
He sighed. "Honestly I'm not here to make any deal or whatever. I'm just here to give you informative about tomorrow."
That caught their attention, Jael leaned forward. "What's it? Do you know what the test will be about and you're here to give us a strategic plan to use tomorrow?"
Thayer scowled, then smiled. "No, actually I'm here to tell you to do very well tomorrow."
Jael snorted and sat back on his seat. "Ya right, we've heard you now you can leave."
Litha narrowed her eyes on Thayer. "You crafty bastard, just spill it. You won't just come here to say that if you don't have a reason that'll benefit you."
"Ah! Ah! What do you take me for? This is totally just something I want to share. You shouldn't see me as a rich bastard who only help when he sees that it'll be beneficial to him." Thayer said.
"Think of Title as acknowledgement from the Tower. Sometimes it's general or might be exclusive to a set. And it usually comes with some abilities or perks unique to that Title. Like my father now he's a Titled man."

"Wow, this is the first time I'm hearing about this. What's your father's title?" Jael asked in curiosity.
"It's, So You Are Rich? Well, I'm wealthy! The Title came up some years ago and the most richest gathered to bid on it. Only Eight people have that Title and it gives them the power to monopolize some things."
They all sat back but Jael was feeling some kind of tingling, it almost seems like the Tower is making things interesting for everyone. "Tell me more."
"Almost every class and professional have Title but some Title are still unclaimed. Like the warriors Sleeping Dragon, a five slot Title but yet none are able to claim a single one. I heard the requirements are too powerful and no warrior in Tower have reached that stage yet."
"So, Title is impressive." Litha said.
"Yes, it always comes with perks...and unwanted attention. But back to our own! A Title have been declared for our set by the Tower. So this test will also be about that Title."
"It's not common is it?" Temur asked. "What do you think triggers it?"
Thayer smiled. "What else? There's a gathering of interesting and powerful Awakeners in our set. It's going to be the most powerful set in a while yet. So I want you guys to claim slots in from the Title."
Jael smiled. "What's the name of the Title?"
"The Rising Star. The Ten Rising Star."
