Vanguard Flaming Pig
He could exchange the 3 Dan's for probably around 9 sparrow plants worth 27 energy to get himself a total of 33 energy right now. He would be able to go up several stages immediately. He's being dumb worrying about integrity instead of power.
Feel like this is kind of stupid , I mean he's joined the guards for rescources but yet when he's given some for free he still doesn't take them ? I get that he might not like the work but he stated he was in it for rescources so imo he should just take it and and do the same as legit every single other guard there
