[Yeah, he can definitely see it. So Raven was a feisty youth back then, huh...?]

Oh dear, you really do want me to expose all my secrets~ Well, I suppose there's no harm in that one.

[It isn't as though it matters, ultimately. Raven already knows far too much about him anyway.]

I did, ja. I actually was a regular member for awhile until I got settled. The previous leader was getting on in his years but he was quite talented - I figured it didn't really matter what the outcome was.

[If he won, he'd be the new guild leader. If he died, then he wouldn't have anything left to worry about.]

I thought the rumors would be useful for my reputation - better than someone simply showing up one day from out of nowhere, ja?

And besides, it's done quite a bit for keeping everyone in line! I would allow any of them to challenge me if they wanted to, but they've all been remarkably well-behaved.

[...except Zagi, but we don't talk about Zagi!!]
