Chapter 404 Fein’s Decision
Fein became silent when he heard Gregory's words. Did he want to announce his S rank status? Well, he knew that if he did announce that he was an S-rank degu user. He would gain a lot from it in terms of status and power. A long thing would also become convenient at that time. Of course, if there are pros, then there are also cons. There's a proverb that says that 'A tree that is taller than the forest will be blown over by the wind.'
Though he had enough power to protect himself now as long as he doesn't face a perverted SS rank creature. What's more, ranks higher than S rank should belong to the category of endangered species by virtue of the fact that promotion of S rank was a hundred times more difficult than ascending from A rank to S rank.
If he really announces his S rank realm. He would be in the center of the spotlight for weeks or even for months. The attention of big guys and big bosses would be directed to him. Such a young genius like him, a twenty-three-year-old degu user! Who can stand it? A lot of assassination attempts from the demons and even from the other region would fall on him, which would ruin his steady pace. After all, the situation was tense all over the world.
The demons won't allow him to live because he had the highest chance of becoming the first SS rank on the human side! Which was unprecedented! His name would be cemented in human history! But is he worried about the danger??
'Come! I won't refuse an extra experience point delivered to my door!' Fein smirked.
If some demons and humans really dare to have a thought about him and attempt to assassinate him. Then they would be at their own risk. He would clean them up, and they would contribute their life for his road to SS rank. What's more... He was short of experience points nowadays. So, the gains completely outweigh the loss!
'Why is he smirking like this?' Sofia stared at Fein, who seems to be lost in his own world while talking on the phone. 'Did he think of something silly again or what?'
Fein, on the other hand, finally made a decision from the heart. He would let Ceterus announce his S rank realm.
"Captain, wait for me there. Would the four S ranks go there?? And why do they want to meet me?" Fein moved his mouth closer to the phone so Gregory would hear his words clearly.
"Yeah. Ceterus probably told them your true rank. Don't worry, those guys are the leader of the 'Xeno Great Alliance'. They only want to meet the youngest S rank that came from their place. You should know how united we are in the South."
"Well, I understand. Don't worry, I'll go there with Sofia."
"Hahaha. Good. Well, have you enjoyed your night?" Gregory's teasing voice came from the speaker on the phone before the call ended.
Fein put the phone in his pocket speechlessly. Then he turned to Sofia and says. "You must have heard our conversation with your enhanced hearing. So, do you want to come with me or do you want to stay at our house first?"
Sofia rolled her eyes at Fein and replied. "Of course, I'll go with you. I'm also curious about the four S ranks in the South. My father once said that the S ranks here are quite difficult."
"Difficult?? Do you mean strong? But they're not on the S rank list, aren't they?" Fein asked with curiosity.
"That's true... But amongst the S rank, they are known for being a dangerous team. As an individual, they might not be that deadly, but when they group together, they could take those in the ranking list... Even father had to take them seriously. Because their abilities complement each other and they fought side by side for a long time when they were still weak." Sofia said with a mysterious face.
"Hmmm, that's interesting." Fein rubbed his hands as he suddenly felt an itch to battle. After all, it's been a long time since he fought.
He can't really call his fight with Brick a battle. Because it's literally a one-sided beating. What he wants was a battle that would make his blood boil and make him go all out. He had already held back far too long since his last fight with Ceterus and the platinum statue.
"Let's go?" Sofia asked with a smile.
Fein nodded his head, and black and white feathers began to grow all over his body. His pupils turned deep brown like that of an eagle, along with his mouth that took the shape of a beak.
Just like that, Fein turned into a large, mighty eagle. The aura of nobility and freedom spread throughout the surrounding and he howled toward the sky as if challenging heaven.
No matter how many times she sees it. Sofia couldn't help but feel in awe. After all, a human literally transforms into an animal that was beyond normal cognition and surpassed common sense.
With that kind of power, she thinks that Fein could respond to almost any situation with the versatility of the ability.
Sofia hopped to Fein's back and gripped the feathers tightly. She took a deep breath and tried hard not to remember her last experience from the ride. It literally made her puke all the contents into her stomach.
Fortunately, she had her blood manipulation ability that helped her ease the motion sickness that she felt. With Fein's speed, it wasn't a problem anymore to travel between countries. No, even the regions on the continent. Because his speed was even faster than that of the griffon that they rode last time when they went to the secret realm for adventure.
Fein flapped his wings, a supersonic boom was produced, the pine trees nearby got uprooted with the sonic boom, and the house even cracked slightly.
Just like that, they took off, the clouds parted, and their figures weren't even visible to the naked eye anymore.
