An Extra’s POV

Man isn't equal.

No matter where you go to in the world, there is always a hierarchy—some kind of strata that explains the natural order of things.

So also is the way of the Adventurers.

Among the ranks of the Adventurers, there exists a hierarchy of rank defined by stars; from One Star to Six Stars.

They define the strength and competence of the Adventurers, and also determine the kind of tasks they can undertake.

Within this strata, Six Stars remain the highest rank attainable by an Adventurer—no, by any human, period!

Only three Adventurers currently have this Rank in the entire Adventurers City.

Ah, it is also called by another name.

The Heroic Rank!

"Huh? You want to take the Heroic Rank Test?!"

Burke's voice was so loud that the entirety of those within the room heard what she said. It stunned even her, causing a look of shock to appear all over her face.

'I didn't expect to be so loud! I've just spilled confidential information!' Tears nearly welled up in her eyes.

If these people weren't planning on giving her a bad review before, now that she had done this, there was no way they would let it slide.

She couldn't escape the punishment for her negligence.

"Yes. We would like to take it."

"B-but…"

"There's no rule stating we can't, is there?" The moment the man asked this, Burke had to fall silent and shake her head.

The Adventurers believed in freedom above all else, so there was no rule confining the candidates to a particular set of tests, or placing a ceiling on the options available to an aspirant.

As long as they had the guts and money necessary to take the test, there was no limit to what they could or couldn't participate in.
