481 479 Klimts Depression (1/2)
”Alliance Master. I brought Fran.”
”Oh, come in, please”
Upon entering the office, Klimt, guild master of spirits, greeted me with an elf. You're looking at this one with the same pitiful look on your face.
After Nell leaves, he recommends the couch to Fran and sits across the street himself.
”Long time no see”
”Mmm.”
”Ha... That's it for a short time...... Even the word genius is ridiculous.”
I guess Klimt's words aren't just rank. We didn't know that much before, but Klimt is pretty strong. I don't have to do an appraisal.
Not status or anything, but even a sign of creeping out of it? And Klimt should have felt something similar against Fran.
He stares at Fran in a frightened manner. Well, you're much stronger than you were when you left Aretha.
”Congratulations on ranking up for now”
While I say congratulations, Klimt's face doesn't look like he's blessed at all. I'd rather say tannic.
”Not at all, even if you had the strength, imitation like using a child...... Well, I can't help what's turned out to be”
After all, they are opposed to putting their children in danger as adventurers in themselves. In the first place, there's no exam because it's another adventurer's guild. I guess it's a system that freaks you out in Donado and drives you back when your kids come. Looks like you're supposed to teach the basics with an apprenticeship afterwards.
”So what brings you back to Aretha?
”Training”
”Training? Are you still going to be strong?
Fran nods cocklessly with a serious face to a crimson look.
”Mmm.”
”He's 12 years old and he's rank B, right? This is one of the top five in the Alliance's historical record.”
Top 5 means there's more up there than Fran?
”What's number one?
”Yeah? Are we talking about our current historical ranking?
”Mmm.”
”The youngest and most advanced to Rank A is the ancient Rank S adventurer, the 'Battalion', right?”
”Battalion? Aliases?
”Yep. But now it's only passed on aliases because it's too old a record. You don't even know what you're capable of. However, this person is said to be rank B at the age of 8 and A at the age of 10. He is said to have become rank S at the age of 14.”
What the hell? If you think it's a weird alias, what kind of monster is it? That's just a long history, and he had a genius figure.
”Even though it doesn't extend to that person, your growth rate is fast. Do you still want strength? It's strong enough, isn't it?
”I'm not strong”
Fran shrugs in remorse when he shakes his head in full.
”I remain a loser. If you couldn't help me, I'd have lost. All the fighting. Plus, there are a lot of strong guys.”
I suppose you're thinking back on the battle with the Marquis and the battle between the mighty that I told you about.
