Chapter 258 Keep It A Secret...
"Congratulations on being promoted to S rank!" Michael was the first to react. He stared at Fein with a smile.
Gregory recovered his composure. He walked beside Fein like a proud old man, and with emotion. "I didn't expect that day had finally come. Now, we have one more S rank in our country. In the future, our country can finally call itself a great country!"
"Thanks!" Fein project a happy smile. Then turned his head at the two. "I have a request."
"Say it..." Gregory said.
Michael stared at Fein curiously and prop up his ears.
"Well, I want to keep my promotion to S rank for the time being..." Fein took a deep breath. His face turned serious and his round eyes narrowed into slits. "Because I'm going to hunt some bastard this time."
This time, he won't delay his long objectives any longer. He has to hunt the bastard Jackson and obtain peace of mind. Although his strength had grown that he didn't have to worry about self-protection. He still prefers to nip the bud to its roots!
"You will finally do it?" Michael had a look of understanding on his face. "But how would you find him? Jackson is a slippery one, and he didn't even take the bait prepared for him last time."
Gregory became quiet for a second. Fein just waited patiently. It took a half-minute before Gregory responded.
"That's fine... Our country can wait. At least, becoming a great country is already certain."
"Thanks, I just don't want Jackson to back out if he knew that I become an S rank. At that time, it would be harder to search for him. As for how would I find him, I had the channels of QWERTY organization that would do that for me."
Gregory nodded his head with approval after hearing his reason. "That's your information. It's up to you if you want to reveal it or not. Even if you want to reveal it a year later, we won't be able to do anything about it." he chuckled lightly and said. "Good luck hunting that bastard."
Fein couldn't help but sigh... He felt a little complicated knowing that the promotion of the country to a great country was coincidently tied to him.
Michael patted his friend's back after seeing his expression and said. "Cheer up! With your promotion to S rank, we have to celebrate!"
"Well, our schedule is quite busy. Do we have time for that?"
Gregory took the cigar from his pocket in a jovial mood. Then he began to perform various smoke tricks. Since Anthony and Fein caught him in the act last time, he didn't hide it any longer. "We can just celebrate it on the same day as Michael's birthday."
"Fair enough." Fein chuckled.
Just like that, the three of them talked about the things that had happened in the past few days. Gregory unsurprisingly just did his best to prevent other staff of the Ranger's Eye from disturbing Fein and even commanded that even a mosquito wasn't allowed to enter.
Michael, on the other hand, had already prepared all the things he need to do for his birthday, and he bought clothes at Roger's place because of Fein's recommendation.
As for the big three, they just familiarize themself with the country and roam around while Fein was busy on his promotion.
"Tell me. What it feels to be an S rank?" Michael changed the topic, curious about the changes when one becomes an S rank.
Gregory also leaned his body forward unconsciously, and his eyebrow squinted. Although he doesn't have a hope of becoming S rank, this doesn't prevent him from satisfying his curiosity.
"Let me tell you." A wide grin appeared on Fein's face.
He began to tell them about the changes and the benefits he received after becoming an S rank. Except for the class function of the system. Michael and Gregory even forgot to blink as they listen with gusto.
"S ranks can actually evolve into different Species!? Why am I hearing this just now?" Michael exclaimed.

"That's actually interesting. If this information was known, it would cause an uproar in the degu society." Gregory took a deep breath. "We need to let them know this. If humanity becomes stronger, we can suppress the demons easily."
Fein shook his head. "No, that's not a wise move. Just let the S rank's circle in our Southern territory be informed. But this information shouldn't go to the other regions. After our war with demons ends, the other regions would surely launch a war with each other."
"I agree. We need to have an advantage. Not to mention, the central plains had forty-three S rank degu users." Michael expressed his opinion with his brows furrowed.
"Honestly, it wouldn't really help much. I've only known this information because I felt a three instinctive calling. And I speculate that the three calling are three the options that an S rank can pick." Fein said.
He wasn't bullshitting or something. He's really telling the truth. Once he ascended, he felt the three options vaguely, and of course, he ignored them. Just like the other S rank.
He knew that without an interface, he would have missed an opportunity for evolution. But even if there's no interface, one can still evolve if they focused their mind and feel the three options inside them. Of course, they won't know what to evolve or what to choose and they can only choose randomly.
Fein knew that someone with a cautious or meticulous personality out there might have already evolved. Because you only have to choose between the three options and you would evolve. But unlike him, they didn't have any information about the three options.
Now, if the S ranks in the country can evolve High Humans or Homo-Zapiens, the South would have an advantage with other regions if ever a war breaks out.
Why does he care about the south so much? That not that case at all, but...
