Just as expected. A group of clans enter the Oval Office less than an hour after the meeting. I thought this would happen anyway, so I looked around calmly.

"Unexpectedly? ’

I thought at least half of them would come, but there were only Yenty-seven of them. Above all, it is most surprising that there is no reason.

Bang!

“Clan Lord! What's wrong with ratings? On what basis did you divide the ratings? ”

Soon after, Dong-seok Kim came to the front and shouted as if he was hitting the desk. It was a fairly combat attitude. When it comes in, it comes in hot, and it's hot to talk.

“Hm. You don't like Clan One ratings? Or do you dislike your rating? ”

“Neither! ”

Kim Dong-seok shook his head slightly unexpectedly.

“No, actually, I'm the latter. But even if I was a D rank, it would make sense if you were to classify it fairly. ”

Kim Dong-seok especially emphasized that it is fair. I folded my arms, smiling quietly.

“So the rating category is not fair? ”

“Yes!”

“Why?”

“No. Are you sure you don't know? Just looking at the EX rating doesn't make sense. Reasonable!”

“With EX ratings…. Complaints about my rank? ”

“Ah, Clan Lord. I'm not in the mood to play. Who dares to challenge Clan Lord's rank? Of course it is. You have one more EX Rank besides Clan Road! Ansol is EX grade? Huh! Ansol is EX grade, am I D grade? ”

Dong-suk Kim said while frowning with an excited face.

“Of course, I admit that Ansol is a talented priest, but I think EX grade is too high. Just out of spite, except for an uncertain feeling and a miracle, is there anything left? But it's EX grade? ”

“Hmm…. ”

“If someone favored a particular clan member and gave him a generous rating, and someone else gave him a salty one! We have to feel relative deprivation! ”

“Yes, yes. I understand what you're saying. ”

I stopped talking and gestured to calm down. I could see Bak Da-Seom stabbing me with his index finger as if he was asking me to do it properly, but after all, everyone who came in showed a sense of empathy for Kim's opinion.

Anyway, I expected Ansol to be a nuisance, and something came up that I thought about roughly. But on the other hand, I felt a bit bitter.

In fact, Ansol's ability is really, really tremendous, because he has a feeling that children's behavior is devastating. Perhaps if Ansol had a similar personality to Jung Yeon, he would have reacted like this.

Swallowing the sadness of the words, I opened my mouth quietly.

“Let me ask you one question before I explain. Do you know the exact meaning of EX? ”

Then, Dong-suk Kim, who was breathing each time, moved his eyes terribly. Apparently you don't know.

“EX. ExtraOrdinary. When you think about the power rank of user information, you can interpret it in a surprising, overwhelming way. However, they differ in grading. which is a transcendent force that cannot be explained by ordinary phenomena, simultaneously, and no one can replace it.... like this. ”

As I spoke, I exerted the power of peace, and my left hand was swallowed up by a clear flame after the blazing sound.

“… and only users with that kind of power can gain EX status? ”

Kim said in a dazed voice, staring quietly. The tone was that he had fainted even further, but was no longer a masculine nonsense.

I slowly walked across my head.

“It is true that users with transcendent power have the advantage. But it doesn't mean you can climb up just because you have the strength. Didn't I tell you? The ratings announced today are based on user information, but include contributions you have contributed to the development of the clan. ”

“No, I know... ”

“If you still don't understand, let me give you an example. Who is the priest who recovered all his allies from the war two years ago and contributed greatly to the transition?" ”

“Well, that's... ”

It was a bit of a sudden question. Kim Dong-seok, who was a consistently combat attitude, stuttered for the first time. I thought hard about what I wanted to say, but what is there to say?

“When surrounded by Bone Dragon and thousands of souls in the Sleeping Mountains, who cleansed them with a single spell and even obtained the Sword of Oath? The same is true of the recent advent of the Grand Duke of Hell. who played a decisive role in sparing you, sparing you, returning you at least once? … Ansol. ”

“ ……. ”

“Then, can you do what I just listed? ”

“ ……. ”

No, of course not. None of the mercenaries, not just Dong-suk Kim, can replace Ansol. This is absolutely undeniable.

Dong-seok Kim was standing still with his mouth wide open. I felt completely mesmerized and lost my words.

Yeah, I will. Dong-suk Kim was not in such a position as this, even if he was an S class user.

“I…. Clan Load…. I know what you mean.... ”

At that moment, Park Da-som, who was standing quietly, raised his hand.

“I certainly admire Sol's ability.... You know, too young. Think back to the days when there were no clan roads. So that's when we have to listen to Ansol? ”

Well, that's a constructive question.

“There seems to be a misunderstanding. Of course, the higher the rating, the stronger the impact on many issues. But this power is at the heart of benefits and treatment, and it doesn't mean complete control of the command system. As I said at the meeting, the machine will continue to change until the fundamental problem is resolved. The change also involves the establishment of a new command system. ”

As I explained to Jogonzo one by one, Bakdasom nodded, bursting a small elasticity.

Hmm... I think you'll understand by now.

Soon, I clasped my hands, and I opened my mouth smiling.

“Anyone else have any more questions? ”

*

A city just south of Atlanta.

Accommodation on the seventh floor of the Central Castle.

“Mmmm... ”

When the warm morning sun came through the window and knocked on his face, Ahn Hyun opened his eyes with a small tear.

Knock, knock.

Suddenly, I heard a strange sound, but Ahn Hyun didn't open his eyes. I just wanted to have more fun waking up. Compared to being homeless for a day at the time of the Steel Mountains attack, the soft bed that is currently supporting the body was truly heaven.

However.

Knock, knock, knock.

“You can't do this. ”

Suddenly, Ahn Hyun muttered to himself and raised his head. My eyes are still full of drowsiness, but I'm smiling like crazy.

In fact, Ahn Hyun felt very good. No, not just today, but after the Clan One rating came into effect, I've been having a good day over the last few days. I thought I would get C and D grades at best, but suddenly I got B grades, so I'm not happy about it. I feel like when I graduated second in a class that I thought was a class like Class 4.

I still can't forget the thrill of discovering my name on the Class B list. In Ahn Hyun's mind, there was a similar feeling of obligation to work harder as he believed.

So I got out of bed and opened the window wide, and I lighted my base as hard as I could in the morning.

Sweet.

“… Oh my. Are you awake?”

“ ……. ”

At the same time as the door opening, An-hyun's movements suddenly stopped.

An-hyun, who turned her head to squeak, soon opened the door and saw a woman dressed fairly elegantly. She was a woman who used to work as a flower of the night, and had also joined the Mercenary Clan as a non-combat user since the introduction of Yeonseok.

Of course, this didn't occur in Ahn Hyun's head at the moment.

“… who? ”

“Yes, I'm called persecution. I work as a maid in the Mercenary Clan. ”

“… No. Why?”

“Ah, I'm going to be working as An-hyun's maid from today. Will you take good care of him? ”

The woman who claimed to be persecuted, smiled calmly and respectfully bent her waist with her hands together. However, An-hyun screamed. It was because she was a slave girl and she was naked with only a piece of underwear. It was a typical four-month old habit of sleeping naked.

The servant girl bent down and looked at the ground for a while. An-hyun, who only screamed evil, barely looked at such a maid and put on her ragged clothes.

Maybe it's because he's been bent down for too long. Then the waitress leaned over and said, "Knng.” I groaned and tapped my waist, looking at Ahn Hyun and smiling. Like a cute little brother.

“Well, can you give me a minute to explain? ”

An-hyun nodded and avoided looking at her eyes because she was from the flowers of the night.

After a while.

It was only An-hyun who heard the servant's explanation that she could understand the situation.

Starting today, we will start with a new non-combat user structure, such as a combat user, where members of Clans B and above will be assigned one maid each serving as a person to perform, and then move to a Class B exclusive listing on the 6th floor that includes a better living space and a private laboratory in a week.

Finally, around lunch today, the servant of Kim Soo-hyun told me to come to the office. She put her hands in her arms and took something out.

“I will look for a salutation car today, and I will take you on a full ride from tomorrow morning. And I'll leave the attendance and communication beads here. Let me know if you need me. ”

After placing the two beads gently on the bed, the servant picked up her skirt with both hands and bowed her head lightly and left the room. Soon after checking that the door was closed carefully, Ahn Hyun was able to breathe heavily. I heard the explanation somehow, but I was completely distracted. Suddenly, it felt like a storm had passed by.

However, in the meantime, Ahn Hyun felt as sure as one fact. Strangely enough, I don't feel too bad. It was a kind of awkward and fresh feeling. In fact, I hadn't noticed much change in days since the Clan One rating was implemented, but I was now slowly feeling one by one. At the same time, I was curious. If grade B is treated this much, what will grade A be treated like? What is the S rating? EX rating?

‘Anyway... It feels good to be treated. ’

An-hyun, who thought that way, quickly got up.

‘Did you say lunch? I should go before it's too late. ’

Soon after finishing a light cleanse, Ahn Hyun opened his visit with a smiling face and went out to the hallway. His footsteps were light as if flying.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Yes, that's right. It's not a part that wants to kill a character, it's a part that wants to save it. Of course, it would take a lot of trouble to come back to life.

Of course, Kim Soo-hyun will always be the crown of this memory rise, but I personally hope that the jewels that make up that crown will also shine beautifully.
