Chapter 197: Top rank (2/2)
”Another difficulty? I thought he's already fighting the highest difficulty?” Cinde was puzzled.
”I don't know of what was going on,” Rea claimed to be as puzzled as her but seeing the thing that came out from the red magic circle. It is probably a dummy of the monster of a higher rank creature. No, it wasn't just higher. It was truly powerful.
Yman was wondering, the instructions on the door weren't telling the truth! Even Cinde's words did not match what was happening.
The enemy this time was a boss class already! It is supposed to appear at around 10.
Cinde looked away when Crimson stared at the glass window, though he could not see her from the inside. But Yman knew that she was currently watching him.
In any case, he could only move forward and fight:
Without them knowing, outside the training room, many people were gathering and talking like buzzing bees.
”Look someone reached the boss round in just a few minutes!” One of the Demihuman said while pointing to the monitor that could be seen inside the Training Pavilion lobby.
In the monitor, all the trainees who had the best achievements were listed in it.
Currently, they were in chaos, the name of rank 1 trainee who reached the boss stage in the fastest time was replaced by another name. And the new name recorded in it was... ”The Mysterious!?” Some people shouted his name in a question.1
”Who's that?”
Everyone was asking who was the person.
”Aside from that, wasn't Lord Gregor the one who resided in that spot the whole time?”
”Lord Gregor is the deputy leader of Mighty Solus Department?”
”What?”
”I heard that he's a prideful man.”
”Wouldn't it be bad if he knew about it?”
”What do you mean?”
”Idiot, someone just took the spot from him!”
”Right, but….. he can retake it back if he wanted.”
”Dumbass, look at that time of the new rank 1. Do you think it's easy to achieve it?”
”Eh? Y-you're right.”
”Regardless, I'm curious who is The Mysterious person.”
”Wait, that name sounds familiar though!” Someone among the crowd said.
”What? Do you know him?”
”I mean, I feel like I already heard that name from somewhere…”
”Wait, that name, I saw it in the recent competition in the Empire!”
”You're right! Now I also remembered…”
People were starting to feel curious about him.
”We can identify him if we will know which room is currently active.”
”No, most of the room is still active!”
”Damn, I wanted to see the live battle!”
”Me too!”
”Unfortunately, the man is fighting in private!”
All the people who were currently waiting for their turn to enter the training rooms were starting to wonder about the man who suddenly took the rank 1 position of the fastest who reached the boss stage.
In truth, they were just waiting in silence while some were conversing with their friends when a sudden announcements came and broke the usual atmosphere inside the pavilion lobby.
The announcer stated: [Congratulations to trainee The Mysterious for breaking the current record of the fastest person who reached the boss round! On behalf of the management of the Training Pavilion, we hail you as the new Rank 1 achiever! Once again congrats.]
Then it was followed by the announcement of benefits that he could get as the rank 1 achiever.
Yman gawked at the announcements. But he had no time for it, as the new enemy was eyeing for him!
