Rita didn't even know what to say. Just imagining it—carrying the weight of that title—was suffocating.
Thank the stars her teacher wasn't GodDraw77... otherwise, she wouldn't be able to sleep at night.
She carefully studied Lightchaser's expression but couldn't read a thing. "So only the Divine Game can unlock GodDraw77? What about after graduation? You've won more than five times—can you recommend me for it?"
"No," Lightchaser said flatly. "After seventeen, you're no longer eligible. The Divine Game doesn't wait for anyone."
Then she held out a hand toward Rita. "Give me your hand."
"Which one?"
"Doesn't matter."
Rita obediently extended her left hand—the one she didn't usually use. Whether at school or out in the field, she always wore fingerless gloves to hide the mark on the back of her hand. But she had just woken up and wasn't wearing gloves. The lantern emblem on her skin was starkly visible.
