Not everyone underwent this process in order to progress, but once in a while, soh a
Likewise, Milton had only heard about this and this was the first ti it with his own eyes It was thatfrom Jerome’s body slowly dissipated, he opened his eyes Then he faced Milton and kneeled before the latter with utreatly indebted by your grace, Viscount”
“Oh, it’s nothing…”
Milton was a little shaken It was not a result he had intended, but Milton had bestowed his ‘grace’ on Jerome anyhow
“So how ? Are you perhaps a Master now?”
Jeroinally an upper-level Expert If his level had risen even further through this epiphany, it was possible that he had reached the stage of a Master
But Jerome replied with a bitter sh the wall of Master, but I believe I’ve reached the brink of it”
“So you’re at the highest level an Expert could be?”
“Yes, that is the case”
Jerome stretched out his hand and concentrated his aura into it
“Ooooooh…”
Milton was in awe at how naturally Jeroe that Milton could not even drea did this man here become?’
Milton abruptly opened Jerome’s statsand had another look

Cool-Headed LV5: Allows one to see the entirety of the battlefield in combat Able to put allied troops in favorable situations while working as a flexible field commander
Generally, the numerical values were not ed fro 89, one could infer from the conversation with Jerouishi+ng Experts and Masters
More than anything, the stat that had changed the most was Loyalty
Jerome’s Loyalty prior had been at 69 This was around the limit of affinity that a mercenary who trusted their employer would have for them in fidelity

Jero his sword Then he carried the sword horizontally with two hands and presented it to Milton humbly
“From this moment forth until the day my heart shall stop, I, Jerome Taker, swear my loyalty in its fullness to my Lord, Milton Forrest”
At thisleap once more
[Loyalty – 92]
‘It’s done!’
Milton clenched his fist and shouted for absolute joy in his head He had wanted to ht from way before, and had succeeded in that at last He was struck with an electrifying sense of accoh
When one read the biographies of heroes and the like, a ruler’s desire for capable vassals was frequently compared to a process of courtshi+p as they try to win their love Now Milton felt he knehy such an expression was used
His heart was filled with great delight and joy, and he was also filled with gratefulness to Jeroht
“I ht such as yourself is not asha of my Lord”
As Milton received Jeroe popped up in Milton’s mind
