Karsa stood tall before Rana,
who remained frightened and shocked by Karsa's size,
especially since Rana was quite short.
"Excuse me... sir... I'm not ... t a ch....ild... I'm a recep....tionist here at the Hunters' Guild... Do you ne....ed to subm...it an appli...cation?"
Rana stammered, sweating profusely.
Karsa remained silent, giving him a sharp look.
Then he sat down on a wooden chair and said in a calm tone,
"I heard that the Hunters' Guild offers an identification card recognized throughout Central continent... Is that true?"
Rana, still afraid of Karsa even though he was seated, replied, "Hehe, actually, yes, that's true...
The Hunters' Guild is a beloved and recognized entity by all the powers of Central continent , from the Ice Palace in the north to the Kingdom of Maltalia in the south."
A brief silence followed. Rana asked nervously, "Do you need an identification card, sir?"
(Is this bastard half-human, half-orc? .. His body was massive,
but his features and skin were entirely human...
his eyes were golden, and his hair was long and dark black,
but his size saying I'm a cursed orc! )
Karsa said calmly, "Yes, that would be very nice."
Rana smiled nervously, saying, "Very well, sir... First, you must tell me your name, race, and age...
and also, proceed to the strength measurement room to have your rank measured."
Karsa was surprised, saying, "Rank? What are you talking about... I just want an identification card."
Rana replied with a smile that clearly masked her inner annoyance, "Actually, sir, you must register as a hunter to obtain a card...
but don't worry, your strength will be measured quickly,
and your rank will be recorded on a card.
And don't worry, you won't be asked to perform any tasks."
Karsa paused for a moment, then said uncomfortably, "Very well."
Rana smiled and took out several sheets of paper and a pen, saying,
"Name ? "
"Karsa?"
"Age?"
"34"
"Race?"
"Human"
Rana: "This bastard is human?"
Karsa: "Excuse me?"
Rana said nervously, "Oh, don't worry, I didn't mean you,"
she said to herself. (Damn it, I thought I was talking to myself.)
"Level?"
He paused for a moment.
Then Rana repeated herself irritably, "Sir? What's your level?"
Karsa was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "General."
Rana was shocked, her face filled with sweat, and she said, "Sir? General?
.......
.......
..There's no such level as General..."
Karsa was silent.
Rana sighed, saying, "So you're just some kind of country boy... Listen,
there are several levels to measure a person's strength,
starting with novice , then Warrior, then Sword Master, then Grand Master, then Old Master.
When you reach Old Master, the being's strength progresses through stars; the more stars, the stronger they become...
This is a ranking system created by the Magic Tower 5500 years ago to assess the strength of mages and warriors...
There are rankings above the 10 Old Ancient Master,
but these are unofficial rankings, starting with King, then Sultan, then Emperor, then demigod, then god...
General doesn't exist among them."
Karsa fell silent and remained like that.
Until Rana sighed and said,
"Well, I'll leave this field empty.
You can go to a room there and have your rank measured.
Ranks range from F to Z, the highest."
Karsa stood and said quietly before stepping forward,
"Thank you for your help..."
Rana sighed again, annoyed, and grumbled,
"Shy, huh?"
Karsa proceeded to the room Rana had told him about.
Its door, though wooden, felt heavy with pressure behind it...
Karsa entered the room and found a spacious hall made entirely of white.
In the center was a glass sphere where electric sparks moved.
Beside the sphere stood a tall Elf woman with blond hair and clear blue eyes.
She wore a white witch's cloak with black stripes along the sides.
The woman smiled warmly, saying,
"Oh, welcome. Are you here to have your rank measured?"
Name : Suzi
Race: Elf
Measurement Witch, Branch Fishermen's Guild in Ramon City
Warrior : Level
Karsa lowered his eyes to the ground and stepped forward, saying,
"Yes... a child who works here sent me... employing children is not good, it's unethical and illegal too."
Suzi laughed lightly and said,
"Haha, but Rana isn't a child, in fact she's older than me."
Karsa fell silent, his serious expression unchanged, then said calmly,
"Let's change the subject.
Could you please measure my rank so I can get an ID card?"
Suzi laughed as she approached the ball and said, "Haha, a shy man... Yes, of course... But first, I must tell you how the Rank Meter works.
First, we've known since we were little that every living creature in the world possesses a Sani organ,
whether it's a plant, a beast, an orc, a human, or even an insect.
We all have a Sani located between the heart and lungs...
This organ grants beings abilities beyond their normal physical capabilities,
allowing them to alter their surroundings by manipulating the atoms around them.
It all depends on the creature's imagination...
For example, thousands of years ago, the best creatures could create was fire or ice,
and now we've reached a higher level.
For example, the Sun General..."
Karsa paid attention and raised his eyes slightly to hear more of what Suzi would say.
"The Sun General recently forced the sun to rise earlier,
and that's truly remarkable.
It appears his Sani has reached a level where he can control the sun's own atoms...
In short, the Sani is the organ that allows creatures—humans, dragons, dwarves, demons—to become great.
And this ball here is the Molossus, which is the device was created by the Magic Tower in collaboration with the Atlas Academy.
It's a device that can measure the strength of the Sani element itself and the extent of its influence on the surrounding atoms.
Karsa paused, then said in the same manner, "So what do I have to do?"
Suzi said, "All you have to do is place your hands on a sphere and push your energy into it.
It will display a specific color.
If it's yellow, you're of rank F.
If it's red, it's E .
If it's green, it's D.
If it's blue, it's C.
If it's orange, it's B.
If it's purple, it's A.
If it's gold, it's S.
And if it's Z, although I haven't seen it before, it will be white."
Karsa approached the magic sphere and slowly placed his hands on it.
As soon as Karsa placed his hands, electrical sparks began to move and swirl left and right,
and the sphere began to vibrate until the electrical sparks disappeared.
Karsa was shocked, and then Suzi said to reassure him, "Don't worry, it's just the last step before the rank is revealed."
Then a black dot began to appear,
spreading around the entire sphere like a living darkness trying to engulf it.
Within moments, the sphere was completely filled with a deep,
dark black.
A worried expression crossed Karsa's face,
as he looked at Suzi, whose face was completely calm.
Suzi smiled and said with kindness, tenderness, and warmth,
"What the hell is this ?"
