Chapter 208: Ranker (1/2)

The next day, The Mysterious name had become the flesh of some gossips, especially inside the lobby.

In the headquarters of Mighty Solus departments, Lord Gregor was sitting in front of the oval wooden table together with his men, the captains under his division.

”Deputy Leader, that person not only beat your record but also the boss.” One of the captains said.

A frown appeared on the face of Gregor. ”I don't care! Don't forget that I also beat one before.” Lord Gregor said in a cold voice.

”Sorry, Deputy leader!” The captain hastily said his sorry. He could not anger the Deputy leader.

”Deputy leader sir, the new rank 1 has a very minimal time. I think it almost impossible to beat without using your full strength.” Another captain said with certainty. The record was posted inside the Training Pavilion lobby. And most of the trainees who came there to train had seen it.

Lord Gregor knitted his brows.

He knew that the captain was right. The amount of time the new beater had was just too exceedingly short. But he could not chicken out just because of it. He was once the owner of that title, and he would always be.

”I will beat that record and reclaim my title again!” The Deputy declared in a crisp voice. All the captains knew that once the Deputy Leader resolutely declared, no one could change his mind. Perhaps only the Department Leader and the Professor had the chance to do it.

But they believed that the department leader and the professor would never meddle in this issue. Wait! There is another one who might be able to change his mind.

”However, Deputy Leader sir, that guy not only took the fastest record but also beat the boss. The boss which I believe you already know…” one of the captains suddenly voiced her worry. She was a wolf girl with brown long hair and narrowed eyes. She was beautiful and looked stern.

The others creased their brows at this statement. They knew what this girl was pointing out. It was a thing that only the rankers knew.

”San-San, I know what you wanted to say. But don't forget that I'm also a beater of an irregular one,” Gregor replied in a calm voice.

”But sir, what if the next time to come out was a stronger one,” they noticed the worry in San-San's voice.

There was even a gossip circulating inside the department about these two. But no one wanted to point out this as it was a very personal issue. And no one wanted to anger the Deputy Leader Lord Gregor.

San-San was worried because the Deputy Leader was unlike most Wolfmen people. He wasn't the duelist type. He was a caster. So if he encountered a warrior-type opponent with agile movement there was a big chance that he would lose. But in a group battle, everyone agreed that he was a god.

(However,)

That Dummy Fighting was a room for solo training. So he had to fight alone. Even though he managed to kill the irregular boss last time, it didn't mean he would be lucky next time. The irregular boss he faced last time wasn't an agile type. It was a big horned snail that was strong against physical attack and weak against magical.

But even with that kind of enemy, it was a hard fight for him. Though in the end, he managed to end it that took him an hour.

(Yet,)

”Don't mind it, I can defeat whatever boss will come out,” everyone was surprised by the Deputy Leader's confidence.

Even San-San was looking at him with doubt.

Then they noticed his mouth curled upward as his eyes showed a glint of excitement. A different feeling towards him, that was what they felt while looking at Gregor.

It seemed like they were staring at a different person in a brief moment.

Everyone gulped subconsciously when they noticed the glass of water on the table showed leaks.

Right at this moment, everyone noticed something different in him.

Everyone's face suddenly lit up.

”Deputy Leader sir, congratulations on your breakthrough sir!” One of the captains immediately congratulated the deputy leader. And the others followed after him.

”This thing is worthy of celebration, Deputy sir!”

Lord Gregor stared at them with a grin on his face.

”I'm happy for your breakthrough, Greg,” Said San-San with slight redness on her face. Gregor smiled at her.

Gregor went into thought. 'The thing that the mysterious person did is worthy of attention especially to the rankers like me. Activating the boss so early doesn't need good luck.

What one needs is bad luck.

Most of the rankers knew that the boss that will appear irregularly is much stronger than the boss waiting in the 10th waves.

And most of the irregular bosses have high status and unique spells.

On top of that, the irregular boss is random. This information about the real strength of the irregular boss is only known to the rankers.

Normal students had no idea how strong the irregular boss was. So even if The Mysterious killed the boss, it wasn't surprising for them. The most surprising for them was that he beat the record holder of the fastest.

But it was different for the rankers.
