When Akiri lands on Aqua, she immediately encounters a cat the size of a small child, wearing an ascot. And, in theory, the character has put in sweat equity to prepare for this, she continues to work hard as an apprentice, and she does acquire a "rival", but from the start, the occupational progress is all pleasant and well intentioned.
