CH 70

Unofficial Ranker (3)

next day.

Willas, who arrived at the waiting room first, waited for Roman with a tired face.

'Are we finally seeing each other?'

yesterday evening.

Willas had trouble sleeping at night.

That's why Roman's soldiers gave a huge shock.

Like the warriors of Valhalla, they showed a militant and combative appearance, and the swordsmanship that drove the opponent into a corner could not be called the level of the periphery.

As a priest of Valhalla, I could be sure because I had seen many strong men.

If the strength of the soldiers was derived from Roman, Roman might have been a strong man who lived up to the rumors.

'Roman Dmitry. Is it a sleep dragon who never got the chance, or is it a puppet to show off a hero?'

sure thing is

It would have been fixed if I checked it myself.

Willas took a sip of tea.

It was not yet the appointment time, so I waited calmly, and as the time came, the door opened and people came in.

"Master Roman has arrived."

widely.

put down the teacup.

My heart raced.

indeed.

Who is Roman Dmitry?

The moment when you finally check the man coming inside.

" ho."

Unknowingly, he let out an exclamation.

unwavering gait.

Naturally looking down on Willas and a moderately relaxed expression.

Willas, who had developed an eye after meeting a lot of people, was convinced of one thing just by looking at him.

'A person who is accustomed to life as a strong man.'

really maybe.

I thought that Roman Dmitry might have defeated Homer.

Simply finish the common name.

Willas immediately asked the main point.

"Is it true that you defeated Homer in the Battle of the Great Warrior?"

"It is true."

The answer was blunt.

As if nothing special.

At Roman's insignificant reaction, Willas swallowed dry saliva.

"You don't seem to know what you have done yet. Homer is not just a strong man ranked 49th, but a person who was expecting a ranking of 30th or higher as he reached the level of 4 stars. You killed such a man, Roman Dmitry, only 25 years old. Do you know what that means?"

this day.

Homer's defeat is not shocking.

The fact that the opponent who defeated him was 25 years old was the driving force that made Willas come to Dmitry.

"The strong man who defeated Homer at the age of 25. It is shocking to even reach the level of 3 stars in your 20s, but if you suggest even the possibility of 4 stars, it is safe to say that he is the best talent in the history of the Cairo Kingdom. Therefore, as the temple of Valhalla, we decided that it was necessary to determine whether this was true or not."

"I know what you mean."

Roman leaned back.

Crossing his legs, he showed an interesting expression.

"You're going round and round saying that what I've done doesn't make 'common sense'. Speak up straight away. If the priest of Valhalla went to Dmitry, wouldn't it have a clear purpose?

Okay.

plate was laid

Without wasting any more time, it was time to confirm the truth.

said Willas.

"First, before confirming the truth, let me tell you about the ranking process. Ranked matches are divided into official matches and informal matches. The official battle is to prove your strength by getting permission from the Valhalla Temple and defeating the opponent in front of the observers. Winning or losing the official match will be reflected in the ranking immediately, and although the ranking list will be announced early next year, an ID card proving the ranking will be issued. If Roman had defeated Homer according to the procedure of the official battle, he would have omitted the proof process and announced to the world that the new 49th ranker of the Cairo Kingdom was born."

the problem is.

It was an informal match.

Unlike official warfare, informal warfare, which takes place indiscriminately, is not actually the word from the beginning.

"Informal battle is a word that was created due to a sudden confrontation between rankers. If someone defeats a ranker in a non-ranking match. Positions that have become vacant will be moved forward by one level after one year. An unofficial victory can never make the rank of a defeated ranker your own. But even after the confrontation is over, if you prove that you are a strong person who deserves it. As the rankings are pulled one by one, the final seat is given to the winner of the informal match."

The conclusion was simple.

Roman unofficially defeated Homer.

If that were true, it meant that the proof could secure the final 100th, not Homer's ranking.

"Actually, there is no way to prove that you were the one who defeated Homer. Since the Valhalla Temple believes only what it has witnessed, it does not change that fact even if there are numerous witnesses. Therefore, to check the unofficial qualifications we use an aura meter. The proof is simple. If you use the aura meter and pass the criteria we set for the ranker, you will be ranked as a ranker as we judge you are worthy of the final position. At this time, unlike the official game, no ID is issued. It's impossible to know when the facts will change, and when the list of rankers was first announced, the top 100 rankers are more likely to fall prey to contenders, so we give time until the safety period."

explanation is over.

now.

It was time to check the truth with the aura meter.

Looking at Willas waiting for an answer, Roman asked.

"Is there any reason why you have to rank like that?"

I do not know. If I were to be ranked as a ranker, I would have to take that risk, but if I was in the position of a prosecutor, I'd say it's definitely worth it. To make your name known to the world as a single swordsman. Even if there is no special reward, wouldn't it be worth taking the risk for the sake of honor alone?"

eating.

Roman laughed.

Even in Moorim, there is a ranking system similar to that of Cheonha Teenage Masters.

As many people risked their lives for it, Roman could understand what Willas was saying.

to show up.

It's not a good thing.

As much as it is revealed, the gaze follows, and it creates variables.

However.

"I don't like having my credentials verified in the same way as an aura meter. Rather, assign a new opponent. It doesn't matter if it's a rank similar to Homer's, or a rank higher than that. As you said. I will prove my qualifications by defeating the rankers in front of the Priest of Valhalla in person."

Roman.

Cheonma Baek Jung-hyuk was a person who had no hesitation in revealing himself.

It was an embarrassing answer.

Willas has met a lot of people, but it's the first time he's ever seen such a bold type of person.

'What do you think of alternative ranking matches?'

Ranking match.

It's not a children's play house.

People risked their lives to get their name on the ranking list.

It was an honorable place to prove one's worth as a prosecutor, and in fact, many people died in the process.

The implicit rule of not killing the opponent was meaningless.

When strong men of equal skill were attached to each other, the fight would inevitably intensify, and the blind sword showed no mercy to the opponent.

so that.

People said that Fernando, who was called the number 30 gatekeeper, was a true ranker.

Fernando never turned down challenges from challengers, and always proved himself by accepting fights.

On the contrary.

There were cowards who made their name on the rankings and never accepted the challenge.

Those sorts drop their rankings sequentially as the years pass, and they cleverly did not fight to the end, but fought back once in the last year to keep the rankings.

Even the strong players did not like the ranking match.

You worked hard to achieve wealth and fame, but you could die after accepting a challenge by mistake.

in Roman's words.

said Willas.

"Actually, as you said, starting a new ranked match is the best way to prove yourself. However, ranked matches are not that simple. It is not possible to proceed immediately just because you want to do it, and you can make an official ranking match by considering the opponent's consent and schedule issues. Think the other way around. Are there any strong players in the rankings in the northeastern part of the Cairo Kingdom? There is not. Therefore, in the first place, the proclamation itself is impossible because there is no opponent."

"That's right, I'm sorry."

if you don't have an opponent.

An official ranking match was impossible.

finally.

"There is only one way."

said Willas.

"I'm going to test it with an aura meter. If it passes the threshold of the aura meter, Roman Dmitry-sama will be listed as a new ranker in the Cairo Kingdom."

Aura Meter.

Contrary to the grand description, the appearance was very simple.

It was in the shape of a sphere the size of a fist, and Willas showed it and explained it.

"The test method is simple. When mana is injected into the aura meter, the color of the aura meter changes according to the power of the mana. 1 star is red, 2 is orange, 3 is yellow, and 4 and above are green. For reference, Roman defeated Homer, the 4 star aura swordsman, so he must prove the minimum qualification of 3 star yellow in order to occupy the last place in the ranking. It's also dark yellow. Do you understand?"

understand.

There was nothing special to understand.

just.

It would be over if you infuse mana.

Roman received the sphere.

The crystallization of a new culture, I thought it was really interesting.

'Unlike Moorim, the Salamander Continent is a world where magic has developed. Considering that there is even a tool to simply measure the power of an uninhabited man, the power of magic cannot be overlooked. What kind of an alternate wizard is? Are they like the shamans of Moorim, or are they superhumans who have reached the realm of God rather than humans?'

I looked at the aura meter.

The principle was incomprehensible.

Roman suddenly.

I was curious.

'How would the aura meter react if the aura was released in the way of this world?'

two worlds.

The way you use the aura is different.

If the swordsmen of the Salamander Continent spewed out too much aura at once, the Moorim people condensed and used well-refined mana.

So, everyone who checked Roman's aura showed a curious reaction.

Even using only 1 star aura, a dramatic effect of blowing wind occurs, but Roman completely overwhelms the opponent with just enough power to doubt whether it is an aura.

Aura eruption.

It's not that you can't do it.

Roman also understood the principle, but he only avoided it because he thought it was an inefficient method.

'It must be fun.'

once.

It wasn't bad to follow the common sense of the new world.

If the aura meter is crafted to match the aura it emits, then Roman will have to explode the aura accordingly.

How would the magical culture of this world evaluate its own power?

At first, I was curious, but after thinking about it, I realized that it was a pretty good opportunity.

"Start."

At the words of Willas hurried.

closely.

Roman grabbed the aura meter.

And then.

Slowly, he began to breathe his mana into the aura meter.
