Akira's POV
The guild showcase schedule arrived in my inbox on a Monday morning alongside a mission board update plus the subtle reminder about a quarterly equipment registry submission I had still not completed.
This one was probably because the equipment registry submission required listing the sword and the sword's registry entry still made me think about Kael signing the closure form personally.
I opened the showcase schedule and glanced through it twice just to be sure I wasn't mistaken.
The D-rank division was the first event of the day. This meant everyone was likely to be present rather than the smaller crowd that filtered out as the higher ranks performed.
Every hunter registered at the main guild attended the opening division as a matter of institutional culture. The quarterly showcase was one of the few events that ran mandatory attendance across classifications.
