System vs Rebirth

"Of course, after introducing these guys."

The one who answered Igor was actually not Richard. As the Vice Captain of the Demon Relief Squad, he obviously had to show his worth as well so that his squad wasn't underestimated by others.

Paul stepped forward and extended his hand, "I'm Paul, the Vice Captain of the Demon Relief Squad. It's my pleasure to meet the captain of the Demon Hunting Squad."

"The Demon Relief Squad?" Igor frowned for a moment before understanding why Paul came here. "I see. The fact that you are here means you either have finished fixing the bridge or need our help. So, which one is it?"

"Of course, we have finished fixing the bridge. The supply route has been fixed, so you don't have to worry about the rest." Paul answered without hesitation. He was still extending his hand as if he hadn't given up on shaking Igor's hand to prove their squads were at the same level.

After hearing that they had accomplished the mission, Igor finally shook his hand. "In that case, I thank you for your help."

It felt like there was a spark between these two guys. On the one hand, Paul was only a Vice Captain, he wasn't at the same level as Igor. On the other hand, the Demon Hunting Squad wasn't even among the top five squads in the Demon Banner Army.

So, it looked like they had a competition going.

Still, Noel remembered that the strength of their captain mattered a lot for the squad's ranking. The fact that Clara could be ranked above him showed a lot of her strength.

And there were still four more squads above their Demon Relief Squad. He wanted to know Shale's strength since the latter had taught him in the past year. Above all, Shale's Demon Extermination Squad was ranked two in the army.

"Since you are here, it's only right if I invite you in." Igor extended his hand to the inside. "Please."
