As soon as Adam learned about the Radiant Branch, he and Frida set off for Azure Island.
There, she told him everything Silvana had mentioned: who would be at the Radiant Branch, the opportunity to gather useful information, the fact that all the most talented Phantoms would be there, and the Star Rail.
But of all this, only one detail caught Adam's attention more than the rest.
"Am I the Present Star?" Adam pointed at himself.
Frida nodded deeply.
"Indeed. In fact, it hasn't been officially decided yet since you haven't attended the Radiant Branch. Well," she shrugged, "during the last Radiant Branch, you were an ordinary person, not a K4-Phantom, so that's not surprising."
Her gaze grew more intense as she continued.
"Either way, once it's confirmed that you'll be participating in Radiant Branch in a week, I and the other Second-Rank Phantoms will have to determine your status. It's clear that you're a Present Star, not a Future Star."
