Also, you don't get to be Master status just simply working on things on your own. Working with others in the Academy to learn more about your element, dual against others, study, read, and all that stuff. So, becoming a Master then arriving at the Academy doesn't really make sense.
I think you're confusing Florence with Sylvia. Florence joined the Academy at the age of 8, achieving Master Rank when she was 36. Sylvia is her daughter, who was accepted into the Academy that same year that Florence achieved Master Rank. So, it should be fairly obvious, that she's spent 28 years of her life studying etc at the Academy, not just working on her own. That would be stupid.
But if you guys don't want another Master that's fine, I just assumed it was okay seeing as you said you'd take 1-2 of them.
