Hal was silent the whole time as he drove back to the academy, pondering the new information he had learned from the companion registration officer.
'At the very least, if I raised Loki's rank, then I wouldn't have to worry about him as much, and I can take him to more dangerous missions, maybe even leave him alone in a slightly safer area if needed…'
A lot of options would open up if his wolf companion at least made it to the low A-rank.
But to do that, he had to feed Loki a lot of cores, or at least allow the pup to hunt for himself.
'His current strength should be of the high C or low B rank…' Hal mused as he glanced at his companion.

He dropped by the Wanzin's Arcane Emporium before returning, and he promised that the next batch of artifacts he would deliver would include a rare-tier one.
He had to shift his focus to artifact crafting.
