406 Fein’s Background
While on Ceterus’ left side. The remaining two S ranks were also weapon users. Zaro De Vera, an archer, a ninja, proficient with knives and throwing shuriken. Though, Zaro mostly focused on his bow and arrow. Because his ability had simply made him a divine archer!
He was an aim god, and the one responsible for the back line in their group. The long-range attack that deals the most damage. Zaro was a terrifying S rank and also the strongest in the group in terms of offense. He could shoot a snake twenty kilometers away! That’s why, sometimes, he could even play the role of assassin. Killing enemies at a long distance without the target knowing how he died.
Zaro De Vera once managed to assassinate three S ranks. Of course, the three S ranks were not on the top 100 list like him. Nonetheless, an S rank is still an S rank. Such an achievement allowed him to take place of the top 99 for two months before he got kicked away from the top 100 again. One could see just how monstrous the S ranks in the top 100. Not to mention the top 3!
With a bow and arrow, Zaro was almost a killing machine as long as he makes sure that the enemy won’t be able to close distance. But it doesn’t mean that he was weak in the melee. After all, he’s still a ninja that once trained with the last master ninjas and learned a lot of their ways.
Lastly, beside Zaro, was a thin man that wore a blindfold. Yes, he was deprived of his eyesight. The man’s alias in the community was Red, The Controller... His abilities focus on restraint and control. His role in the group when they fight was to confuse and restrict the enemies. Alongside his degu ability, he’s also an expert when it comes to poison.
Red was feared because of his ruthless fighting style. He became a dread in the degu society because he would use his abilities to limit the enemy’s movements, then employ various tactics to poison his enemy to death.
These four degu users are the backbone of San Fernando. Their team play, coordination, and experience as a group made them deadly enough that even the top 51-100 had to be cautious against them.
“I think he’s here.” Zaro caressed the golden bow in his hand and said casually. “Did you sense the movement outside? It’s too fast! Just what the hell was that?”
“Hmmm... I think they must have used a flying carriage?” Red scratched his head.
.....
Ceterus stared at the door with arms crossed patiently. He just came here because it’s finally the time to announce Fein’s glorious achievement, and witnessed the country be promoted to a great country!
‘He’s here?’ Gregory heard the four talk about Fein’s arrival. “Michael picked Fein on the entrance.”
Michael simply nodded, and a dark swamp emerged from the floor. Then it pulled Michael, and he disappeared from the office.
“That’s an interesting ability. Is it related to shadows?” Michael’s move attracted Zohan’s interest. So, he couldn’t help but ask.
The branch of Ranger’s Eye in their country managed to surprise him so far... He didn’t expect that there’s not only the youngest S rank here but also a suspected degu user with shadow manipulation ability! Zohan took a deep breath. ‘This branch is simply a nest of crouching tigers and hidden dragons!;
“Yes... He’s Michael, the vice-captain of this branch,” Gregory answered Zohan’s inquiry in a timely manner.
Gregory knew that he is an opportunity to hug the thighs of four big bosses in front of him. If he gets to the good side of the four S ranks of San Fernando, it would benefit him immensely in the future!
Zohan turned his head at Gregory... ‘So he’s the captain of these geniuses, huh... He must be extraordinary himself that he managed to recruit and discover these talents...’
“You have good eyesight. Can you talk more about Fein and the other members here? I think your team was full of hidden gems.” Zohan said while staring at Anthony and Kidd, who was standing beside Gregory. His gaze paused at Kidd for a little before his eyes turned to Gregory again.
Kidd felt suffocated being stared at by the other party. He felt as if a prehistoric beast had gazed upon him. ‘Did he notice my true rank or what?’
It did not particularly surprise Gregory that Zohan was curious about Fein and the others. After all, the four were really genius. Although Anthony doesn’t have a strong combat power like Kidd and Michael. He’s still a genius because of his brilliant mind.
Gregory organized his thoughts, took a deep breath, and opened his mouth. “First, let’s talk about Fein. Well, I didn’t really discover him. But I met him because of a certain circumstance. Because he was involved with an A-rank criminal’s evil plot. That’s why Fein was forced to seek asylum from us. To have enough self-protection and for his safety until he decided to become one of us.”
Gregory has a smile on his face as he recounted how Fein joined the Ranger’s Eye. The four S ranks and even Ceterus, who already read Fein’s detailed information, couldn’t help but listen with amazement.
Then Gregory told the five of Fein’s achievements and journey. How he rose from a mere F rank to an S rank in the span of two years! He talked about Michael, Kidd, and Anthony’s strengths and talents.
“I didn’t expect that he joined because of an incident. Did he finally kill the criminal in the end? And who’s the criminal?” After listening to Fein’s story, Zohan became more in awe of the young genius.
“Well, he managed to kill him.” Gregory smiled. “I think you should know that Criminal. His name is Jackson...”
“The thief that the kingdoms tried hard to find? Well, this is surprising. Didn’t expect that he would die in the hands of his target just like that after escaping the pursuits of countless kingdoms.” Red chuckled.
The other three S ranks showed surprised faces when they saw Red’s response. Zalmond and Zaro looked at Red with doubt.
Zalmond did the same as the two and asked. “Red, you actually know that Criminal??”
