Back in the evaluation room…
"Alright, are you ready for your second test?" Sarah asked.
Sure, whatever. Let's just get this over with.
Then Aerin put his hand on the clear ball that measures magic capacity…
"What! SSS-Rank!" Sarah yelled.
What now?
"J-just to test your combat capacity," Sarah said, shocked.
Alright.
Then they went to the combat testing room…
Can I start now?
"Yeah, all good," Sarah replied.
Then Aerin instantly took out all the dummies with one swing…
"What! One swing!" Sarah yelled, shocked.
Can I get my new card now?
"Y-yeah, just let me print it out," Sarah said, shocked.
Then Sarah went to the front desk and printed the new card out…
Thanks.
I'll head out now. Tell the director about the results. Also, tell him next time he wants to talk to me, I'm choosing the time and place.
"Alright, but I might sugarcoat it though," Sarah replied.
Do whatever you want to do.
As Aerin began to walk out the door…
"Wait, the reporters!" Sarah yelled.
Huh?
Then Aerin walked outside and got surrounded by reporters…
What! What's all this!
I have no patience for this.
Then Aerin moved so fast he was invisible, appeared behind the reporters, and left…
"Just who is Aerin," Sarah thought while standing in shock.
When Aerin got back to his team…
Alright guys, let's clear some portals again today.
"What happened?" Lio asked.
Nothing really, I just had to get reevaluated.
It really wasn't anything special. Just a waste of my time.
Back at the Adventurers Association, in the director's office…
"What? He really is SSS-Rank!" John yelled.
"Yes," Sarah replied.
Then John leaned back in his chair…
"Then I have no choice," John said, stressed.
"What do you mean?" Sarah asked.
"Do you know about The Five Dungeons Of Doom that appeared a year ago?" John asked in a serious tone.
"I've heard a little bit, but what does that have to do with anything?" Sarah asked.
"Well, we are conducting a raid in two weeks because those specific dungeons are about to break," John explained.
"But why? Dungeons break every day across the world. It's never been an issue before," Sarah replied.
"These aren't normal dungeons!" John yelled.
"These are the dungeons that killed 4 X+ Rank hunters, and one almost killed me," John explained after he had calmed down.
"We need all the hunters that are SSS-Rank or above to participate in this raid. Especially if we want to have a future for humanity. The beasts inside those dungeons are no beasts, but rather evil gods," John explained.
"Is it really that bad?" Sarah asked.
"Oh, you have no idea," John said, shaking as he thought about the terrors he had seen.
