Lal walked away as if he had a lot of work to do.
　I sat in my chair, absentmindedly looking at the article Lal had given me.

　According to the League of Adventurer's Guilds, many demons have a rank.
　Just like the ranks of adventurers, demons' ranks are represented by a scale from F to S.
　F-ranked monsters are less dangerous and S-ranked monsters are much more dangerous.

　Even an S-ranked adventurer should have difficulty in defeating an S-ranked manticore alone.
　I checked the past cases where Wisdom had defeated manticores, but all of them involved a party to defeat them.
　So I'm sure the whole country has high hopes for Anna.

　We're in trouble: .......
　Once you are in the spotlight, it's hard to live as a normal girl in the future.
　I had originally expected it to be quite difficult to leave the battlefield, but this one would have made it almost impossible to do so .

　And since it's Anna, she's going to train harder to live up to the expectations of those around her.

''Um, Revell-san, right?''

　I was alone in my thoughts when I was approached.
　The person who called me was a stranger.
　He was a boy about my age with green hair.

"Yes, sir.

No, I knew it!　Um, my name's Will!　...... um!　If you'd like, you can shake my hand!

　Will put his hand in front of me and bowed his head deeply.

'Uh, yes.'

　I shook Will's hand, a little troubled.

'Thank you!　When I saw your performance at the tournament, I adored you so much!　That's why I left my previous guild and joined 'Tempest'!

That's great to hear. Well, it's nice to meet you.

'Yes!　Best regards!

　Hmmm.
　It seems things have turned out just as we envisioned.

　The guild Tempest is now defunct, but the foundation is sound and as long as we make some improvements, we'll be a first-rate guild again soon.
　That's what Lal came up with, and we planned to revive the Tempest.

　Our first priority is to become famous and increase the number of guild members.
　The Frapara Rookie Competition will be a great opportunity for us to advertise.
　If we can win, it will raise the profile of Tempest considerably.
　Will who just spoke to me is proof positive.
　The results are starting to come in early.

Do you have any idea how many other new adventurers have joined the club?

Well, I saw two other people join besides me. But he's not here now. I think he's just doing some work.

Mmm-hmm. Thanks for the heads up.

　Will and two others. That's good.
　And you've done some work, that's a big step forward.
　Before, Tempest never had any requests coming in.
　This is probably because we did well at the rookie competition.

''Ughhhh, Revell-san!　I'm impressed!

　Will gave me a dazzling smile.

"Hey, what's up?

'I'm so glad you're talking to me in the same breath!　Somehow, I feel like I've gotten to know Mr. Revell better ......!

　...... sounds like the type of thing you've never seen before.
　You seem to revere it more than you respect it.
　I'm a little confused, but maybe that's just because I'm not used to it and I don't feel bad about it.

　I was talking straight because I was out of it, but I'm glad to see that it was a positive experience.

"If it's okay with me, I'll be totally happy to be your friend. Besides, we're in the same guild.

"...... I'm happy to be in Tempest ....... I don't care if I die anymore ......

　It was such a big deal.

　And then the tempest door opened.
　Mr. Lloyd came in.
　Unlike usual today, he's well dressed and doesn't look drunk.

Oh, Revell!　You're awake!

　Mr. Lloyd came over here.

"Yes. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Hey, guys, it's all right. There are times in your life when you just want to sleep through the night.

　Do you have ......?　

But you woke up at just the right time.

"Just in time?

''Yeah. I just went to the League of Adventurer's Guilds earlier, and they reported the ranks of Revel, Kurt, and Fear to me.



　The League of Adventurer's Guilds is an organization that unites and manages adventurer's guilds like The Tempest and Red Wolf, to which Agito belongs.
　In short, if the many adventurer's guilds in Freypara are branches, then the Guild of Adventurers Guild Federation is the headquarters.

　As I recall, the guildmaster is required to report once a month on the condition of the adventurers in his guild.
　That's why we received our official adventurer rank on our first report.

　Incidentally, when we first joined the guild, we were all F-ranked (provisionally).
　But this is a time of year when many new adventurers are born, so depending on how well we do in the Frey Perla Rookie Tournament, our ranks will change.
　The main reason I wanted to win was because I wanted to make the most of this system.

What did you think?

Oh, wow. Revell, you're a "B" in my book.

'What?　A B grade?　That's pretty amazing!　As expected, Mr. Revell!

　When Will heard Mr. Lloyd's report next to him, he jumped up and down and was as happy as he was.

''It's a B? I guess that's how much they appreciated your performance at the Flapperra Rookie Competition.

I know. f*ck, I should've seen it.

　Mr. Lloyd laughed and looked a little frustrated .

''And Kurt's a C-grade . Fear is a D. Looks like we're all off to a good start.


　...... rated B.
　That's more than enough of a start.
　The higher an adventurer's rank, the more authority he or she has.

　The higher an adventurer's rank, the easier it is to make connections and gather information to become stronger.
　But even more important is the power that increases with rank.
　This privilege is the main reason why I became an adventurer.
　With S-rank authority you can obtain information that cannot be found in your wisdom.
　That's why the S-rank is trusted so highly.

　Now, there is only one goal for now if you're assigned to B-rank, and that is to become S-rank.


　There are only three years left until you enter Eiketsu Academy.

　This may seem like a long time, but it's a short time and you have to make the most of it.

　You're right: .......
　At the very least, I want to reach S rank within two years.
