''I'm not naked, though," Raydon said, pointing to the boxer he was wearing.
"Mell what's the deal with this person?" the redhead named Elysia asked, approaching Mell with a sharp gaze fixed on Raydon.
She observed that others were also perplexed and seeking an explanation. Mell, on the other hand, displayed behavior that was strikingly dissimilar to theirs, and her attitude toward Raydon was clearly one of great deference.
"He is..." Mell hesitated for a moment, trying to gather her thoughts as she looked at Raydon's familiar yet altered appearance. Finally, she spoke with conviction, "Our young master, Raydon Demugen."
"But you don't seem entirely certain," Elysia raised an eyebrow, clearly detecting Mell's uncertainty in her voice.
"Elysia, I am just as confused as you are, but I have no doubt that he is young Master Raydon," Mell responded confidently.
The short amount of time that had passed since she had last seen Raydon allowed her to clearly observe the evolution that had taken place in his current appearance; however, the degree to which he had changed did not prevent her from recognizing him.
Also, because she had witnessed Raydon's incredible talents for herself on the training ground, she had come to terms with the fact that he was an extraordinary person. As a result, there was no way that his changed appearance alone could surprise her.
"Ahhh, my head feels like it's about to explode," the pink-haired battle maid exclaimed, clutching her head in distress.
"Alright, let's assume he is the young master Raydon we know. But wasn't the young master we knew crippled all his life? So, what is this I see?" Her tone conveyed surprise as she inspected the flawlessly sculpted body of Raydon, which was similar to a statue that had been carefully crafted.
"There is indeed a great mystery at play here. Moreover, the privileges bestowed upon him by the family seem exaggerated. I can't fathom them using six valuable blue-grade invitation scrolls just for him," the black-haired battle maid added, her arms crossed over her chest as she glanced at Raydon.
"And did you notice that he is still level 1?" The blue-haired girl chimed in, her expression calm and devoid of emotion. "It appears that he won the F-Rank matches with his team's help and advanced to E-Rank."
As far as anyone could tell, the only reason Raydon was still at level 1 was that he had failed to kill any monsters in his previous matches and had relied on his team's victories to advance to E-Rank without contributing much himself.
"So our mission is to win the match for him while also helping him level up?" Nysora, the red-haired battle maid, concluded with annoyance evident in her tone.
"It seems that way. I'm not sure what value he holds for the family, but considering the resources and attention they're investing in him, he must be more than meets the eye," Verda expressed her own opinion.
The Demugen family wouldn't lavish such efforts and expenses on a completely useless individual. As a result, they reasoned that there must be another explanation for their fervent interest in Raydon.
When Mell saw Raydon's level, she, too, could not help but think with shock. 'How is it possible for a genius who possesses such powerful techniques and such mastery of them to be so unsuccessful in his matches? '
Mell was aware of the fact that it was extremely difficult for a person with a title that had both a high strength and a high potential to advance in levels. She was certain that someone as powerful as Raydon held a formidable title, which demanded an enormous number of experience points for each level. However, regardless of the high requirements, he should have slain enough monsters to at least gain a level or two from F-Rank to E-Rank.
'Are they aware that I am able to hear what they are saying? ' Raydon watched in disbelief as the battle maids argued fervently in front of him, their gazes fixed on him the entire time.
The apparent lack of concern shown by the battle maids perplexed him. However, rather than dwelling on it further, Raydon chose to prioritize his own objectives. He directed his attention towards the system panel and proceeded to examine the team information, eager to gather the necessary details before commencing his experience farming.

Raydon carefully analyzed the team information presented in the system window, his focus on the levels of his fellow teammates. Observing the numbers, he wondered, 'Are they all above level 20? It seems to be the average level for E-Rank item holders. '
Although he was uncertain about the average levels for each Rank, Raydon relied on his memory of defeating Herman, who was level 23. Using this as a reference, he speculated, "I suppose peak F-Rank item holders typically reach around level 10. Does that mean E-Ranks average between 10 and 25 levels?" It was a logical deduction based on his general reasoning.
Raydon knew that an item holder's rank and level were independent of each other. In particular, he considered the circumstances of the battle maids from the Demugen family, who belonged to a weaker household and had remained in E-Rank without progressing to D-Rank for an extended period.
It is possible that as a result of this circumstance, their levels appear to be higher than those of E-Rank item holders who are part of larger families. Thus, Raydon concluded that the previously assumed information regarding average levels in relation to rank was currently unreliable.
After contemplating this information for a while, Raydon shifted his attention to the other teams displayed in the system window.
