Chapter 89 - Ranks

"Master Ozel, I've registered him into our guild," said Cece as she called upon the guild master.

"That's great! Now to give him a mission," said Ozel and he took at one of the 2 boards where the guild kept their missions.

"Actually, this might be too difficult for him. Let's just have him accompany one of the members who already has a mission and then we'll see what type of mission he'll be able to handle," said Ozel as he looked around.

"Hey you! You're going on a mission soon right? Have him accompany you and tell us what you think of him," Ozel pointed at Sylvester which just wanted to die from the embarrassment of having to act as an escort for the kid who humiliated him.

"What's problem? Are you saying that you won't do it?" Ozel asked as he looked to get more angry before Cece called him to the counter. After she whispered something to his ear, Ozel changed his mind before stopping himself from laughing after Cece had explained what had taken place before he had arrived.

"Change of plans, Cece, you pick out a mission and take the new kid with you. Sylvester, since this was all your fault, you'll be taking over the register," said Ozel which Sylvester agreed to without complaining. Sylvester instantly walked to the side of the front desk where there was a small door which allowed him to go behind it and take over while Cece left so that she could take Julius on his first mission.

Right after Cece had left the front desk, it was as if her whole personality had changed. She looked a lot of serious that before which made Julius assume that she changed personalities when he exited her job area.

"Do you have a preference as to where you would like to go and what monsters you would like to fight?" Cece asked Julius.

"Not really, I'm fine with anything," said Julius.

"Okay then, just incase something were to go wrong, I'll pick a mission where I can fight for myself and protect you as well," said Cece as she picked up a poster from the board of missions before going back to the front desk.

"Hey Sylvester, pass me my blade," said Cece which Sylvester listened and gave her her pitch black double edged blade.

"If you don't have anything else to take care of, it would be best if we were to leave now," said Cece which Julius nodded in agreement and walked out of the guild with her.

Seeing the two walk out of the guild, Jun just simply waved goodbye before returning to his conversation with Ozel.

…

Once near the exit of the small kingdom, Julius began to look around for a dragon of some kind which he assumed would take him to his destination.

"Why are you zoning out, we've got a mission to complete," said Cece as he was half way inside a caravan already.

"Oh right, I forgot how rare cultivators who use meditation are, let alone those who can use the dragon summoning secret art," Julius said to himself before running inside the caravan.

"Where are we even going?" Julius asked Cece since he still didn't know what the mission was about.

"We're going to a mountain range close of one of the grey kingdoms, more specifically, that of the queen called Sandra," said Cece which brought chills to Julius since it hadn't been that long since he battled against her. The most memorable thing being her flower garden technique.

"What will we be doing there?" Julius asked.

"From what the mission has described, it should be a dungeon which is about a C+ rank. Since you probably don't know about guild rankings I'll just explain," said Cece.

"There are ranks from E to A. Each one representing 20 levels of what a cultivator should be. While rank E represents levels 1-20, rank A represents levels 81-100 and the other letters correspond with their own level respectively. The C+ is because it is in the higher level of the 20 levels meaning that it is from level 56-60 while levels 41-45 would be C- and 46-55 would just be C rank. I hope that made sense," said Cece which Julius nodded as it actually made sense to him due to his increased intelligence.

"Anyway, there's no need to worry since I'll be looking after you. We'll find out what kind of monsters we'll be facing once we get to the dungeon," said Cece as she tried to reassure Julius.

"Thank you," Julius replied.

…

After a while of riding inside the caravan, it had came to a sudden stop and the driver got up from his seat and knocked inside the rider's compartment to tell Cece and Julius that they had made it to their desired destination.

Hearing the knocking, the two of them quickly got out of the caravan before Cece payed him with a couple silver coins which she had with her.

"Let's get going, we're almost there," said Cece as she began to climb the mountain where the dungeon gate was said to be since the caravan wouldn't be able to get them across the mountain. Julius followed behind her as that was all he could do.

After walking for come time, the two of them made it to where the mountain's peak should've been but instead there was a crater of some kind which inside it had green grass and clean water while in the middle of all of that was a single double door which nothing behind it.

"Wow, it's beautiful," said Julius as he began to go inside the crater of the mountain.

"Be careful not to fall," Cece warned him before going doing with him towards the double doors.

"This is it. After you go in, there's no turning back. Are you sure you're ready for this?" Cece asked Julius to which he nodded before the both of them placed their palm of either side of the door and pushed it open together before walking inside of it.. The doors automatically closed behind them meaning that their battle had already started.
