Requiem Of A Failed Hero

Chapter 114 Re-Evaluation (2)



Chairman Mok Jun-Seo was finding it hard to calm his raging mind that desperately wanted to see more of what Raith was capable of.

With his 'keen sight,' he could tell that the least strong of the strange beings cladded in black skins was probably a C rank. Even at that, he was not still sure, it wasn't like he had enough guts to take a step closer or look for too long into the domineering darkness that surrounded them.

But this meant that a single man could lead hundreds of monsters that were equal to C-rank hunters, on top of that he was very sure from the satellite video of the fight between Raith and Turner, he was really really sure that Raith had an amazing combat ability.

The hunters' class system was something that took years to postulate and that postulation was, by all means, correct until now. Warrior Class, Mage Class, Assassin Class, Bishop Class, and Archer Class.

Each class was postulated based on a hunter's style of fighting; big movements and strong defenses were known to the warrior class, long-range magic spells as one would have guessed was equal to the mage class, Assassin was adept with quickness and stealth, while bishop class were hunters with buff and healing abilities, the last is as you thought, yes, long-range weapon or ability users.

There was no way that a mage-class hunter would be skilled in combats, even if they were, it would basically be self-defense because they would lack the necessary skill for movements and attack execution. But there was a living betrayal of that very fact.

Every of Mok Jun-Seo's veins tickled with excitement.

"So what is my rank?" Raith asked, scratching his cheeks and looking away. Even he couldn't take the three minutes stare of awe from both the chairman and agent Jong-Su.

"Ah! Right. The reading room! Quick!!" Chairman Mok Jun-Seo shouted, his voice sharply brisking up Agent Jong-Su who immediately ran towards the wall, as he approached, a part of the wall opened to reveal a small room of monitors.

"Impossible! This numbers!! It was even higher than the last time. And the numbers of all his summons...!"

Agent Jong-Su was not far from going crazy with surprises, one of the reasons why the facility made an alarming beep and all its walls turned red was because it was reaching a limit to its reading.

'...it took the reading of all his summons?!'

The measuring device for special ranks was truly amazing. He never would have imagined that it was going to rank all Raith's summons.

His eyes widened as he looked through the monitor.

Chairman Mok Jun-Seo came in later with Raith.

"What is it? Do we have a reading?" He asked as he stepped in.

"Ah...ah..." All Agent Jong-Su could do was gasp, he couldn't find words to explain this.

The chairman seeing lost composure hurried over to the monitor, his reaction was the same moments later.

On the monitor was a ranking from the strongest monster to the weakest, with their magic energy in numbers and their ranks depicted on the screen.

The strongest, Raith - 999,560 - Catastrophe rank.

Even for a catastrophe rank, those numbers were monstrous. It was insane, the highest magic energy that has ever been read was 760,000 and it belonged to one of the five catastrophe-ranked hunters.

The next monster that was after Raith:

- 100,000 - S-rank

- 99,560 - A-rank

- 80,000 - A-rank

- 57,006 - C rank

Raith could tell who those ranks belong to, '...Jarvis is S-rank? wow... Fenrir A rank... Kortopi A rank and Cheche C rank.'

This proved true his speculation of the fact that the Yeti gate was not A rank. It really was due to Briceus's presence.

He looked at the rest of the numbering.

- 49,700 - C rank

- 47,000 - C rank

- 44,450 - D rank

- 44,000 - D rank

- 43,450 - D rank

- 43,104 - D rank

- 42,022 - D rank

- 41,000 - D rank

- 39,000 - E rank

The ranking was enormous and the least of them were E ranks. Over a hundred of the two hundred numbers of dark armies were E ranks. And Raith didn't need to be told, he knew very well that they were mostly the orcs that he easily defeated and was scared of him during his fight with them.

'...those the morale of the monster affect the strength of the soul when I summon them...?'

If that was the case that meant whether or not it was A rank or B rank or even S rank what would give Raith a strong dark soldier was if the monster is strong-willed, someone like Kortopi and Cheche, although Cheche still came as a C rank but Raith blamed that to the fact that his magic core had been absorbed already.

"There is no doubt! South Korea finally has her first Catastrophe rank hunter!!" Chairman Mok Jun-Seo yelled, with his arms in the air, tears of joy filled his eyes as he turned to Raith.

"Thank you so much, thank you very much." He kept shaking Raith's hand while sniffing. It was so great an occasion that even an important figure like him couldn't help but lose his rigid composure.

Raith was not sure how to react to this, he just sheepishly bowed his head, all that mattered right now was the money– he was a little pained that he couldn't absorb more cosmic energy but he compensated himself with the thought of how rich he was going to get after receiving hundred billion dollars. Even then and now, Raith was a sucker for money.

"What in the world is happening?!" Hunter Chong-Yol ran inside, with several other agents that were trying to stop him because the directors that had passed out couldn't.

"What in the world is happening here?! Why is there a rank evaluation going on in the night?!" Chong-Yol requested, flaring up. Strangely his annoyed face mixed with embarrassment somehow matched his playboy look.

"What are you doing here?" Chairman Mok Jun-Seo immediately reverted to rigid and serious.

That rigidity threw Chong-Yol aback for a sec. "I heard about what happened to Jae-Hwa and the fact that he had some kind of deal with you. Why is he being held hostage and taking responsibility for the hunter you brought?"

Chong-Yol belatedly looked at Raith, from his vantage point there was nothing special about this human. But there was no other person in here that would have likely emitted that kind of pressure.

"You... are you the one? Are you the hunter Raith?" He immediately inquired, shifting his gaze to Raith who was behind the chairman.

"Careful there Chong-Yol, you are speaking to a catastrophe rank hunter."

Horror overwhelmed his face immediately.
