Under the clear sky, there are thousands of people. They appeared like dots because of their massive number. All of them had a unique aura and strong momentum. The people form a large crowd with their eyes fixed on the big stage.
The stage had a brown floor with a red dragon emblem at its edges. And in the middle of the stage, Ceterus and the four S ranks stood with each other. Each of them had a powerful and awe aspiring presence.
Humongous high-rise establishments, spotless wide roads, luxurious carriages, and degu users that come and go in the streets with high-rank equipment that walked down in streets like cabbages in the market.
This is Hosu Great Country! The strongest country in the South that leads the Xeno Great Alliance! Degu user was almost common in the Hosu Great Country. Although they didn't promote the existence of degu users to the common people, it wasn't secret information anymore. Because a degu user in Hosu is like a weed that constantly grows everywhere...
Ceterus has a faint smile on his face. But he constantly glanced at the first row of the seats and also known as the VIP area. Only the VIP area had seats... first, second, third, and up to fifth row made up the VIP area. And the people that were qualified to seat on them were only the S ranks in the entire South region!
Sitting in the middle of the first row is the leader of the Hosu Great Country, also known as the most influential person in the South, and one of the strongest! Even in the first row, his seat was unique, and the seats beside him were also occupied by the leaders of the country of Xeno Great Alliance.
Then, Ceterus looked at the sky in deep thought... He felt a warmth all over his body from excitement. Although he's not from San Fernando, the youngest genius still came from the branch of his organization!
"Hey, what do you think about the newly ascended S rank in President Ceterus' mouth? He claimed that the guy was the fastest degu user to reach S rank!"
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
"Hmmm... I think Ceterus was just hyping it up. Though, I'm excited to see and confirm what he said was true. A twenty-three years old S rank? How's that even possible?"
"Who knows? Do you think Ceterus would lie about this kind of thing? With his status and strength, he would disdain to do that kind of thing. So, please think logically first before doubting him. What's more, he invited all the leaders and S ranks in our Xeno alliance."
"What you said makes sense. If he dares to lie. His credibility within the degu society would plummet."
"It doesn't matter if it is the youngest genius or not. But it's still the San Fernando most awaited moment. Today will be the day that they will declare themselves as a great country!"
"Hahaha! We have one more S rank in our Xeno Great Alliance... No matter what, this is clearly a blessing!"
The people below the stage talked with each other. Clearly intrigued about the person and newly ascended S rank from the San Fernando. Most of them were A to B rank degu users that stood behind the VIP area. Almost all of them talk about the protagonist of the event.
'I hope the leaders won't get bored.' Ceterus sighed. 'Fein really knows how to take his time. Damn it."
Red, Zohan, Zalmond, and Zaro just quietly stared straight ahead with their faces full of indifference.
'Fuck... Their pressure is really suffocating.' Red cursed in his mind. But he didn't dare to move around and just kept his expression still.
In the presence of three leaders of the great countries; Hosu, San Luebisto, and Felmundia. The four didn't dare to move too much.
As for the leader of Vidayas and San Fernando, the four didn't care much. After all, the leader of Vidayas country was known as someone who didn't care much about world matters and was obsessed with chess and other mind-stimulating games. While San Fernando or their country's leader is just a puppet that they placed named 'Bruce Hemenes'... Just a mascot that carries their orders. And Bruce was only an A rank, like the leader of Vidayas. Bruce only managed to sit in the VIP area because of his country leader status.
Jake Vargas, a chess grandmaster, and also one of the strongest spear users and the leader of Vidayas country. The three great countries' leaders and Jake Vargas were friends and once comrades-in-arms because they participated in the war as soldiers when they were still C ranks
In terms of spear skills, Jake Vargas wasn't any worse than Zalmond, and the two even constantly exchanged with each other to improve their spearmanship. Not only that, Jake acted as the strategist when they fought in a war. He almost treated the battlefield like a game of chess with the winning moves and war strategies that he employed. That's why even though the country he leads didn't become a great country, he was still respected because of his brilliance and strong friendship with the leaders of three great countries.
"Jake, what do you think about the youngest S rank? It's interesting, isn't it? I wonder what the leader of Laughing Phantom would feel if he knew that someone had beaten all his past records." The leader of the Hosu Great Country chuckled.
Jake shook his head with a faint smile on his face. "I don't know, and I don't care. I just want to play chess... But it seems that the guy was smart since his the greatest scientist. I wonder if he's also powerful in chess. If so, I want to play with him."
"Your brain is always chess, chess, and chess..." the king of the San Luebisto kingdom sighed.
"Let him be. You know that Jake is the type of person that gets easily bored if his mind wasn't preoccupied, right?" This time, it was the leader of Felmundia that spoke.
"Well, will meet him in person. At that time, we would see what kind of person he is. What is his name again? Fein Bonifacio?" The Leader of the Hosu country smiled and leaned his back comfortably at his sit.
