Dialogue
It's me again, my old friend. Feeling happy today?
REPLYYeah, I'm quite happy, actually.
...You're in a good mood today? I'm not used to that...
If you've got a job for me just say so.
Etiquette! You young folks might not realize it, but there are certain unwritten rules between people...
Anyway, got some good news for you: You may participate in your first Reputation Rank-up Trial.
Though, it's not really your first trial, is it, former legendary Proxy?
REPLYWhat's this Reputation Rank-Up Trial all about?
...Are you messing with me? Or did you really forget?
It's a test to raise your Reputation on Inter-Knot! You've met a requirements in terms of Inter-Knot Level and Hollow Observation Data, so now you can level up your reputation!
Well, it's about time.
As expected from Phaethon. Always so reliable.
Your Inter-Knot level and the amount of collected Hollow Observation Data have been increasingly quite quickly lately. You must've preparing for this Reputation Rank-Up, right?
REPLYAren't you forgetting something?
What do you... Oh, the content of the trial? Just clearing out some Ethereals, the same as before.
Since you are here, tell me more about the trial.
More about the trial..? You really need me to explain? Just clearing out some Ethereals, the same as before.
It might be a bit trickier than the usual clean-up tasks though, of course.
Anyway, I'll keep an eye on your account info, (ProtagonistProtagonist). Swing by the coffee shop once you're done with your promotion, and we'll celebrate!

- (SiblingSibling): Impressive. The Rank-up was a cinch. With better Inter-Knot credentials, it'll be easier to find good work.
- (SiblingSibling): Shepherd said that he'd celebrate with us after our promotion, but I haven't seen him for the past two days.
- (SiblingSibling): He's always like that... Let's not worry about him for now. Looks like there are some rewards for the promotion. What are they?
- I haven't looked at it yet.
- Seems like it's something related to W-Engines...
- (SiblingSibling): Let me see... Oh, this is a W-Engine Drive Disc, right? It can be paired with the W-Engine core to not only enhance resistance to ether corruption, but also to assist in combat
- (SiblingSibling): Right. The Inter-Knot does a good job of motivating Proxies to get promoted.
- (SiblingSibling): (BelleBelle /
WiseWise), do you want to try equipping it now?
- (Enter the Character Menu)
- (SiblingSibling): Let's check the Agent's W-Engine...
- (SiblingSibling): Next, confirm the Drive Disc you want to equip.
- (SiblingSibling): Now, you should be able to see the effects of equipping the Drive Disc.
- (After finishing the tutorial)
- (SiblingSibling): Now we're way better at Hollow exploration, and we can take on even more challenges!
- (SiblingSibling): I wonder if we're getting any closer to the truth we've been seeking all this time...
- (SiblingSibling): Let's do our best together, (BelleBelle /
WiseWise)! - (SiblingSibling): Alright, let's see what intel (we've got that'swe've got that's /
we havewe have) worth checking out.
