An Extra’s POV

The hierarchy within the Adventurers City wasn't arbitrary.

There was a reason why the Adventurers were divided into cadres, and it wasn't just for status and wealth. The most pertinent reason was competence.

How strong a person was determined their Rank.

How, then, could this strength be examined? It couldn't be properly gauged by mere exhibitions of Skills, or written exams. Even combat training or duels couldn't properly bring out the full potential or power of a person.

There was only one true way for an aspiring Adventurer to prove their strength.

—Hunting down Monsters!

An Adventurer did many things, but the specialty of the trade remained Monster Extermination and Dungeon Exploration.

No one did these better than Adventurers.

"Novices can only handle E-F Tier Monsters. Commons can easily handle E-Tier Monsters, but will find it difficult to beat a D-Tier Monster. Veterans an easily handle any D-Tier Monster and below, but their limits are C-Tiers. An Expert can handle a C-Tier Monster on his own, but it will be very difficult to win against a B-Tier Monster… though they can win."

As Britta explained this, the two candidates in front of her were silent and listened.

"5 Stars, that is, Masters, can pretty much handle B-Tier Monsters, but can't beat A-Tier Monsters on their own." Her tone suddenly took a serious tone. "That is where the Heroic Rank comes in."

Everyone knew just how powerful and amazing those in this Rank were because they were the only ones who could stand up to the strongest kinds of Monsters.

That made them the strongest humans.

"6 Star Adventurers like myself can beat at least one A-Tier Monsters without any issue. As you know, the strongest Tier a Monster has is A… same as we humans."

The key difference, however, was that Monsters were far more suited to combat than human beings.

They had sharp claws, tough hides, immense Mana Levels, and their instincts were geared towards violence and destruction. In all areas of combat, Monsters outranked humans.
