Chapter 55: Mercenary Ranks

On the third floor, there were another counter, tables, and seats.

Jacob spotted Rosalia on a table in one corner, and she was the only one present on this floor. She was waiting for that mercenary license.

She also noticed Jacob and her eyes flashed, but she didn't react in any way and remained aloof.

Jacob also minded his own business and headed toward the counter, where another beautiful receptionist was sitting and reading a book.

She heard Jacob's footsteps and look over. She smiled and greeted, "Good Day Sir, congratulations on passing the entry test. May I have your registration form?"

Jacob nodded in greeting and handed her the paper in his hand.

However, the receptionist's expression suddenly changed when she was 'C Rank' on the form and exclaimed, "C Rank from the start?!"

Her voice was quite loud, which was clearly heard by Rosalia, and her eyes were also wide with astonishment as she looked at the silver hair man impassively standing in front of the counter.

She was quite arrogant with the D Rank, but even she knew the threshold for receiving C Rank directly was 450KG+ force, and it wasn't something easy to achieve.

In the star mercenary agency, there were 6 ranks, F, E, D, C, B, and A respectively.

The lowest rank F was for those who had only 100 KG of force, while the E was for those with force above 150, while D was for those with above 200.

Even D Rank mercenaries were respected everywhere they go because they could be considered at the peak of the uncommon rank fighters.

While from C rank to A rank, these ranks were for those fighters who can fight with Rare Rank Species!

The threshold for a C rank was 450+ and these mercenaries were treated like nobles in the Humane Kingdom, and they all have prominent positions. Just like, the Leader and Vice Leader of this Rain Town branch were C-rank mercenaries.

As for B Rank, the threshold was 1000KG+ force and there weren't even 10 presents in the Humane Kingdom and every one of them were monsters in human skin because they can fight with top rare rank beasts.

Lastly, in the A rank, the threshold was 10,000KG+ force and these rank mercenaries were something only those top of the list Rare Races which rules the rare region could have!

That was why the C Rank was respected in the entire humane kingdom, and they have many privileges of nobles and no one dared to provoke them!

Jacob also know this, and that was why he wanted this rank, so he didn't have to worry about moving around or acquiring anything from the mercenary agency.

If he wanted, he could pass the B Rank mercenary trial, but it would be too high profile, and he would have appeared on some people's kill list thereupon.

So, C Rank was perfect for him, and no one would mess with him easily. This will also spare him the trouble to deal with those annoying flies who will come after him for his wealth.

Just like a few moments ago, when he was heading up, no one dare to approach him for recruitment because they didn't have the strength to talk equally with him.

One had to know there was only one mercenary team with a C Rank leader who was active in the Rain Town.

Furthermore, Jacob didn't use his second chance, which gave him another veil of mystery, and those people have trend careful with him now just like Ralf, who didn't act arrogantly in front of Jacob and politely invite him.

The receptionist finally snapped out of her stupor and her tone became extremely respectful, "Please wait. I'll arrange your star mercenary license in fifteen minutes."

Jacob smile faintly and nodded, "I'll be great, thank you."

With that, he also sat at another table and watch the receptionist hastily entering the door behind her counter.

'Finally, I can move freely now without having to worry about my identity. As for that B Rank, I have to wait to exit the Humane Kingdom and took the test in the rare region.

'A Rank is still far from me, and it also made it clear there are far more powerful existences out there, and being invincible among humans means nothing. My goal should be those hegemonies at Epic Region!' Jacob mused as he made plans for his future.

His eyes suddenly flashed as he looked toward the person who has suddenly joined him at his table. This person was none other than Rosalia!

Jacob impassively looked at the fierce beauty in front of him, and he had to admit, that if she was in his previous world, she would be a top model. But those models were nothing to him back then. As long as he wanted, they would jump into his bed!

He said impassively, "You want something?"

Rosalia was stunned for a moment. She suddenly felt this man's gaze differed completely from others, and it felt like in his eyes she was nothing but skin and bones.

She bit her lips and said, "Are you really a C Rank mercenary?"

"That's why they said." He answered with a shrugged shoulder.

She took a deep breath, and she said with deep resolve, "Team up with me!"

Jacob felt quite amusing when he saw her forced expression. It was like someone had beaten her to say this. But he didn't reject her instantly and question back, "Why would I?"

Rosalia suddenly felt vexed by Jacob's attitude. She pursed her lips and said, "I want to gain a foothold in this place, and to do so, I want someone like you by my side. Besides, teaming up with me won't be a bad thing since you know I just pass the test with you, and you won't have to worry about me approaching you with ulterior motives."

Jacob curled his lips. "That's what you said."

She suddenly lost her temper and stood up from her seat. "Hmph, I'll make you regret your decision. Don't think you're invincible just because you're a C Rank Mercenary!"

Before it was she who showed temper and attitude everywhere she goes, but it was the first time something showed her attitude and look down on her. How could she take it?

"I believed you." Jacob merely scoffed, watching her stomping away!
