407 Mythical SS rank
The Four S-ranks only felt happy because of the quality seeds, and new bloods in their country. They didn’t feel threatened by Fein, as they only hope that the country would rise someday. They love the country and have a strong sense of identity as it was their roots and where they grew up.
San Fernando country had been stuck for a long while and it couldn’t upgrade to an S rank because the country lacked another S rank to fulfill the requirement. So, they pinned their hopes on the younger generations, but years upon years have passed, and no one shows high potential. Some A-rank degu user figures from their country managed to cause a ripple in the degu society, but that’s it. They didn’t succeed in becoming an S rank.
Disappointment, unwillingness, and anxiousness. These are the emotions they felt. The four even tried to take a disciple and provided rich resources solely to groom another S rank. But they couldn’t cross the final hurdle... The line diving between A rank peak and S rank. That’s when they gave up and realized that everything depends upon the potential or upper limit of a person. They just hope that someday that there would be someone in the next generation that would step on an equal footing as them, which would push the country to greatness.
Now, they finally saw a light of hope. They didn’t expect that the small branch of official investigators that they ignored and didn’t put much in the eyes would produce a peerless figure! In their opinion, Fein shouldn’t be called a genius anymore... But an evildoer!
“It’s finally our motherland’s time to shine. It’s had been far too long...” Zohan clenched his fist and felt excited. Then he glanced at Ceterus beside him. “To think that a smaller branch would produce an S rank instead of the main branch.”
“Well, the function of a small branch was to supply excellent seeds to the main branch. But Fein and Michael didn’t want to transfer be transferred to the main. So I can only respect their decision.” Ceterus sighed deeply. Then he paused for a moment and smiled. “Moreover, it’s not as if we don’t have excellent geniuses on the main branch. It’s estimated that two new S ranks would appear in the Hosu Kingdom.”
“Kiba and Azazel?” Anthony looked at Ceterus.
Zalmond couldn’t help but sigh. “As expected of the strongest country in our alliance.”
“Honestly, it should be three. But it’s a pity that Kate died at the hand of demons. The one who replaced her in the big three wasn’t as talented as her.” Ceterus added with a slightly sad tone.
.....
After all, he treated Kate in high regard, and he has high expectations for her. But she just had to die prematurely.
Zaro shook his head and says. “A lot of geniuses couldn’t reach their full potential. And those who managed to reach it stand at the top. And I think that this Fein won’t just stop at S rank. He might even break through to the mythical SS rank!
At that time, our country might become the second strongest in the Xeno Great Alliance!”
“One SS rank might be able to sweep all the S ranks from our alliance effortlessly.” Ceterus’ expression became solemn.
Suddenly, a shadow of mist emerged from the ground, and two figures appeared in an instant.
“Fein’s finally here,” Kidd muttered in low voice, while Anthony beside him squinted his eyes.
Gregory, Zalmond, Ceterus, Zohan, Red, and Zaro quickly turned their heads to the two figures simultaneously.
“Yooo...” Fein immediately took a step forward and greet all the people with a laid-back demeanor and casual smile on his face.
‘Huh? Why can’t I feel his rank? Could it be!?’ Zaro’s eyes widened. He felt that Fein was just an ordinary person, as he couldn’t even the slightest degu energy from Fein’s body.
And that just means two things... It’s either Fein was just an ordinary person, or he just suppressed his aura to the point that even the slightest energy can’t leak and made him appear like an ordinary person.
Zaro immediately crossed out the former, since Fein was undoubtedly a degu user as confirmed by Gregory and Ceterus. And the Ranger’s Eye wouldn’t have let him join them if Fein didn’t become a degu user. That leaves that he was the latter! This means Fein had mastered his degu energy control to perfection!
‘What a rare talent!’ Zaro exclaimed in his mind.
The four S ranks scrutinized Fein and each had different thoughts in their mind. As S ranks, they almost see through just about anyone with their years of experience and high-level strength.
“You’re finally here...” Ceterus walked towards Fein’s direction with a smile on his face as if meeting an old friend. Then he pointed at the four people behind him and says. “They are the four S ranks in your country. They requested to meet you... While I’m here on the other hand to ask for your consent if you want to announce you’re true power to the Degu Society.”
“Well, nice to meet you again.” Fein squeeze a smile on his face which he had trained in the mirror. His smile had reached the level of return to roots and almost look natural. Then he turned his head at the four people curiously. ‘So they are the four S ranks? in this country?’
Fein had always wanted to meet the four S ranks in their country but he didn’t have the opportunity and time to do so. But now, he’s finally face-to-face with them! He carefully scanned them with his eyes, and he must say that each of them had the demeanor of a powerhouse and a people with great luck.
He could gauge the power and their power level vaguely as the degu energy of the four leaked on their bodies. The quality and the thickness of their energy had reached the middle level of the S rank which shows their deep accumulation.
‘I wonder how strong they are?’ Fein felt his hand becomes itch and a desire for battle rose in his heart. ‘Probe!’
