70Tue Unofficial Ranker (3)
next day.
Willas arrived at the reception room first and waited for Roman with a tired face..
‘Are we finally meeting?.’
last night.
Willas had a hard time sleeping at night..
That's how big of a shock it was to Roman's soldiers..
He showed a warlike and combative appearance like the warriors of Valhalla, and his swordsmanship that drove his opponents into a corner could not be said to be at the borderline level..
As a priest of Valhalla, I was confident because I had seen many strong people..
If the soldiers' strength came from Roman, Roman might have been as strong as the rumors say..
‘Roman Dmitry. Is he a sleeping dragon who didn't get a chance, or is he just a puppet in a show-style hero creation?.’
One thing is certain.
It was something that could be resolved by checking directly..
Willas took a sip of tea..
Since it was not yet the appointed time, I waited with a calm mind, and as soon as the time had come, the door opened and people came in..
“Master Roman has arrived..”
widely.
I put down the teacup.
my heart was racing.
indeed.
What kind of person is Roman Dmitry?.
The moment I finally see the man coming inside.
“……Hoo.”
I let out an exclamation without realizing it..
unwavering gait.
Eyes naturally looking down at Willas and an appropriately relaxed expression.
Willas, who developed his insight through meeting many people, was convinced of one fact just by looking at them..
‘He is accustomed to life as a strong man..’
really maybe.
It occurred to me that Roman Dmitri might have defeated Homer..
Simply finish the statement.
Willas asked straight to the point..
“Is it true that Homer was defeated in the Battle of Daejeon??”
“It's true.”
The answer was calm.
As if it was no big deal.
At Roman's indifferent reaction, Willas swallowed his saliva and said,.
“I guess you still don't know what you've accomplished. Homer is not simply a powerhouse ranked 49th, but a person who was expected to rank above 30th as he reached the level of 4 stars. You defeated that person, Roman Dmitry, who was only 25 years old. do you know what that means?”
this time.
Homer's defeat is not shocking.
The fact that the opponent who defeated him was 25 years old was the driving force that brought Willas to Dmitry..
“25A strong man who defeated Homer at the age of three. It is shocking that he only reached the level of a 3-star in his 20s, but if he even hints at the possibility of becoming a 4-star, it is safe to say that he is the greatest talent in the history of the Kingdom of Cairo. Therefore, the Valhalla Temple decided that it was necessary to clearly determine whether this incident was true or not..”
“I know what you mean..”
Roman leaned back..
He crossed his legs and looked interested..
“You're going around saying that what I did doesn't make 'common sense' sense. Get straight to the point. If the priest of Valhalla came all the way to Dmitri, wouldn't there be a clear purpose??”
“All right.”
The board has been laid.
Without wasting any more time, it was time to check the truth..
Willas said.
“Before confirming the truth, let me first explain the ranking process. Ranking matches are divided into official matches and unofficial matches. An official battle involves obtaining permission from the Valhalla Temple and proving your strength by defeating your opponent in front of observers. Wins and losses in official matches are immediately reflected in the rankings, and although the ranking list will be announced early next year, an ID card will be issued proving the ranking. If Roman had defeated Homer according to the official battle procedures, he would have skipped the proof process and announced to the world that a new 49th ranker of the Cairo Kingdom had been born..”
the problem is.
It was an unofficial battle.
Unlike official wars, unofficial wars take place indiscriminately. In fact, the word did not exist from the beginning..
“Unofficial match is a word created due to a sudden match between rankers. What if someone defeats a ranked player in a non-ranked match? Positions that become vacant will be moved forward by one level after one year. You can never make the ranking of the ranked player you defeated by winning an unofficial match. However, even after the battle is over, if you prove that you are a strong person worthy of it. As the rankings are lowered one by one, the last seats created are awarded to the winner of the unofficial match..”
The conclusion was simple.
Roman, who unofficially defeated Homer.
If that were true, it meant that through proof, one could secure the last 100th place, not Homer's rank..
“In fact, there is no way to prove that he was the one who defeated Homer. The Temple of Valhalla only believes in what it has personally confirmed, so even if there are numerous witnesses, the facts do not change. Therefore, to verify informal qualifications, we use an aura meter. The proof method is simple. If you pass the ranker criteria we have set when using the aura meter, we determine that you are worthy of a place in the bottom stone and your name is raised as a ranker. Unlike official matches, ID cards will not be issued at this time. You never know when the facts may change, and when the list of rankers is first announced, there is a high probability that the 100th ranked ranker will fall prey to challengers, so we tend to wait until the safety period..”
explanation is over.
now.
It was time to check the truth with the aura meter..
Seeing Willas waiting for an answer, Roman asked:.
“Is there a reason why you have to rank like that??”
“well. You may have to take a risk to be ranked, but if I were a prosecutor, I'd say it's definitely worth it. To make my name known to the world as a prosecutor. Even if there is no special reward, isn't it worth taking the risk just for the sake of fame??”
eat.
Roman laughed..
In Moorim, there is a ranking system similar to the World's Top Ten Masters..
Roman was able to understand what Willas was saying, as there were many people who risked their lives for it..
to appear.
It's not a good thing.
The more it is revealed, the more attention follows, which creates variables..
but.
“I don't like proving my credentials in ways like aura meters. Please assign a new opponent instead. It doesn't matter if your rank is similar to Homer's, or even higher. Like you said. I will prove my qualifications by defeating the ranker in front of the priest of Valhalla..”
roman.
Baek Jung-hyuk, the Heavenly Demon, was a man who had no hesitation in revealing himself..
It was a perplexing answer..
Willas had met many people, but this was the first time in his life he had seen someone of this bold type..
‘What on earth do you think of ranked 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 opportunity to prove one's worth as a prosecutor, and many people actually died in the process..
The implicit rule of not killing the opponent under any circumstances did not have much meaning..
When strong players of equal skill come together, the fight is bound to become more intense, and Blind Sword showed no mercy to his opponent..
so that.
People said that Fernando, who was called the 30th ranked gatekeeper, was a true ranker..
Fernando never turned down a challenge from his challengers and always accepted the fight to prove himself..
On the contrary.
There were also cowards who put their names on the rankings and never accepted challenges..
Those types drop their rankings sequentially as each year passes, but they cleverly did not fight until the end and then held a showdown once in the final year to maintain their rankings..
Even the strong players did not prefer ranked matches..
You worked hard to achieve wealth and fame, but couldn't you die if you accepted a challenge wrong?.
In Roman's words.
Willas said.
“In fact, as you said, playing new ranked matches is the best way to prove yourself. However, ranked matches are not that simple. You can't proceed right away just because you want to do it, but you must fully consider the opponent's consent and scheduling issues to make an official ranking match successful. Think of it the other way around. Are there any powerful players in the northeastern part of the Kingdom of Cairo that have made it into the rankings? doesn't exist. Therefore, since there is no counterparty in this problem, it is impossible to reach the conclusion in the first place..”
“Well, that's a shame..”
If there is no partner.
Official ranking matches were impossible..
at last.
“There is only one way.”
Willas said.
“We will conduct a test with the aura meter. If he passes the standard of the aura meter, Roman Dmitri will be named as the new ranker of the Kingdom of Cairo..”
aura meter.
Contrary to the grandiose explanation, 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 you infuse mana into the aura meter, the color of the aura meter changes depending on the power of the mana. 1 star is red, 2 star is orange, 3 star is yellow, and 4 star and above is green. For reference, Roman defeated Homer, a 4-star aura swordsman, so he must prove the minimum qualification of 3-star yellow in order to occupy the bottom spot of the ranking. It's also dark yellow. Do you understand??”
“understand.”
I didn't particularly understand anything.
just.
All I had to do was infuse mana into it..
Roman received a sphere.
I thought it was really fun to see the crystallization of a new culture..
‘The Salamander Continent is a world where magic is advanced, unlike the martial arts world. Considering that there is even a tool that can easily measure a warrior's power, the power of magic can never be overlooked. What on earth is a wizard? Are they like the martial arts shamans, or are they superhumans who have reached the realm of gods rather than humans?.’
I looked at the aura meter..
I couldn't understand the principle.
Roman suddenly.
I was curious.
‘How would the aura meter react if you spewed out your aura in an otherworldly way??’
two worlds.
The way you use aura is different..
While the swordsmen of the Salamander Continent erupt excessive amounts of aura all at once, the martial people use well-purified mana by condensing it..
So, everyone who checked Roman's aura had a curious reaction..
1Just using the castle's aura creates a dramatic effect of wind blowing around, but Roman completely overwhelmed his opponent with just enough power to make you wonder if this was an aura..
Eruption of Aura.
It's not that I don't know how to do it..
Roman also understands the principle, but he just avoids it because he thinks it is an inefficient method..
‘Sounds fun..’
At least once.
It wasn't a bad idea to follow the common sense of the new world..
If the aura meter is designed to match the erupting aura, Roman can also explosively erupt the aura accordingly..
How much will the magical civilization of this world evaluate its own power?.
At first I was curious, but as I thought about it, I realized it wasn't a bad opportunity..
“get started.”
At Willas' urging,.
closely.
Roman grabbed the aura meter..
And then.
He slowly began to pour his mana into the aura meter..
