Chapter 56: K the Enigma
I’m at the lobby, at the receptionist counter— my gaze’s calmly relaxed on Mira, the receptionist.
"So you really won’t tell me how many more C-rank tasks I need to complete to become B rank?" I ask Mira with a low voice.
"No, Mr. Blank. I can’t. It’s against guild policy to tell you your rank up progress. You just.. wait until you recieve the message that you’re B-rank." She speaks, her tone flat, and her eyes are calmly scanning me as her lips stretch wide into an uncanny grin.
Hmmm, I feel a sudden urge to raise a middle finger.
"I see. Have a good day, then." I speak as I turn to leave— toward the training grounds.
"Are you heading to the training grounds?" She asks, causing me to halt my movement.
"Yes. I think by now, everyone in the guild knows that’s my spot." I reply curtly.
"Well yes, but, Mr Blank. Um.. I think.. I think you might need to find somewhere else to train." She stutters as she voices out.
And my brows arch, "why exactly?"
She shuts her eyes tight. Her hand scratching her hair. "The thing is.. the training grounds.. I don’t think it’ll be okay for you anymore. It’s filled up. And oh! I’m not saying this to stop you from going or anything. It’s just that I know you don’t like being where many people are gathered." She adds.
I see. So the mercs gathering there are becoming too much.
