My Second Life in Another World

Chapter 154: What Is My Rank?

Hearing the voice Zenobia opened the door and walked in followed by Haru who looked straight to see a man.

He had red hair which was slicked back with bangs framing his face, he had a face that can be considered feminine with oval black rimless glasses sitting on his sharp nose, with his light red eyes looking up through the glasses, The man had a slender body but didn't look weak wearing a blue shirt with a white tie under a white vest and white pants.

"Welcome Lady Zenobia, if you told me before I would've come to visit you instead," The man said with a slight bow.

"That will only make things difficult for the both of us Mr. Bladeheart," Zenobia said in a polite tone making the man smile wryly as he knew that was the truth especially now when the relationship between Zenobia and the council was sour.

"I see Lady Zenobia is still angry at that issue, anyway I heard Lady Zenobia brought someone to meet me," The man said as he looked at Haru who was looking at him with a smile but for some reason, the man felt cold as if he was standing in front of someone he couldn't figure out.

'I can't sense his Mana core, is he stronger than me? I have never heard about him, where did he come from? And I can't even sense anything from those two beasts as well? What is happening?' The Man looked at Haru who was looking like he had no worries regarding anything while Kurumi who was on top of his head had her eyes closed and Raum was looking around with shining eyes if it wasn't for Haru he would've already started to take the shiny golden objects around the office.

"Yes, This is Mr. Haru I wanted you to meet him, Mr. Haru this is Mr. Bladeheart the Guild Master of the Xyrus Adventurer's Guild," Zenobia smiled as she introduced the two with an amused smile at Bladeheart's reaction.

"Hello nice to meet you My Name is Kaspian Bladeheart," Kaspian said with a smile as he moved his hand forward for a Handshake.

"Likewise, My name is Haru Tsugikuni," Haru said as he shook Kaspain's hand.

'He is surely stronger than me, His hands are one of a swordsman,' Kaspian thought as he looked at Zenobia who was smiling while looking at Haru.

'So that's how it is, I should've known this guy isn't simple,' Kaspian sighed as he let go of Haru's hand.

"Let's sit on the sofa and talk," Kaspian pointed at the sofa on the left side of the office.

Both Haru and Zenobia sat down on the sofa with Kaspian sitting on the one opposite to them with a glass table between them.

"So how can I help you?" Kaspian asked Zenobia with a smile as he went straight into the main topic.

"Mr. Bladeheart I want to be the guarantor for Mr. Haru so that he can join the Adventurers Guild," Zenobia said calmly.

Kaspian expected this but it still surprising to see Zenobia of all people sponsoring someone. He quickly looked at Haru and the two beasts on his shoulders, he had wanted to ask him about how he was able to have two bonds of such level but he didn't pry into that thinking it would be rude.

'I still can't feel anything from him it is like the moment my eyes leave him he will disappear, How is this possible?' Kaspian thought in amazement as wasn't even able to feel a wisp of Mana coming from him it was almost like he didn't have any.

Feeling Kaspian's eyes Haru smiled and opened his mouth.

"Mr. Bladeheart I have already hunted beasts before, so look at this and tell me what you think," Haru said as he took out some of the beast cores from his ring and placed it on the table.

Seeing the shining beast cores Kaspian's eyes widened and he started to feel cold sweat gather on his back.

'T-The Mana coming from these beast cores is strong, this is on the level of S-Rank beasts, and there are about 8 cores of strong S-rank beasts, and the rest were emitting an even higher mana than that.' Kaspian gulped as he looked at Zenobia who only nodded.

"M-Mr. Haru this, where did you hunt these beasts?" Kaspian asked with a forced smile.

"In the Beast Glades, I met Zenobia there as well," Haru said making Kaspian's eyes widen as he looked at Zenobia who nodded.

"Mr. Haru saved me that day I saw him kill a beast who is stronger than S-rank with a single strike, here is the beast core of that beast," Zenobia said with a smile as she took out a beast core from her storage ring.

Seeing this shocked Kaspian was even more shocked but he was able to keep his face from showing it, even then he was sweating after he heard Zenobia's words. But he needed to do something before that.

"Mr. Haru you know that entry to the Beast Glades is prohibited to even adventurers, you could be punished for illegal entry even if you are strong because you entered with an Adventurer's ID, An-" Kaspian was speaking but his words were stuck in throat as he felt like a mountain was pressing down on him wanting to crush him.

Kaspian couldn't even breathe properly as he felt his body go cold, He looked up with difficulty to see Haru looking at him with a smile.

"Your talk is really interesting, By all means, please go on," Haru said as he looked at Kaspian who understood the meaning behind his words.

It was 'even if you report me I can get away with it thanks to my power, But do you have the confidence to make me your enemy even while knowing this?' Haru's eyes and demeanor said everything making Kaspian regret trying to Probe him.

But he had no choice in this, it was necessary if he wanted to know the power this person was hiding.

"I think he understands Mr. Haru," Zenobia said with a calm smile but the shock on her face was apparent.

'I knew Mr. Haru was strong But his pressure is even greater than the Lances,' Zenobia thought as Haru wasn't even directing his pressure on her and even then she felt her legs going weak, she had a little difficulty in breathing. But then the pressure was eased.

Zenobia smiled as she looked at Haru who made his pressure disappear after looking seeing her.

"Gasp* Hah* hah* Hah*" Kaspian who was finally able to breathe took deep breaths and gasped in horror, he was bathed in cold sweat while looking at Haru in fear.

'How long has it been since I have been terrified to this extent? Even the kings on this continent don't have such a presence, they all look like children in front of him,' Kaspian shook his head as he sat up straight and wiped his sweat with a handkerchief. This pressure was something he never felt before he also knew that Haru didn't even use much of his power just now.

"I am sorry for doing that but it is my job so I hope Mr. Haru will understand," Kaspian bowed a little as he was doing his job to test if Haru had hunted them himself rather than just picking them up. And he learned his lesson the hard way.

He knew it was dumb to think that way, as he was accompanied by Zenobia who wanted to be his guarantor, But still, he needed to see for himself if Haru was really someone who is powerful and he did feel it. It almost made him not want to do this type of thing in the future, at first he wanted to spar with Haru but….

'I can't even breathe when he is only staring at me, How am I supposed to fight him? And His mana and pressure are gone again like it was all an illusion, how can he hide such a commanding presence sigh* I should've guessed that he isn't so simple after I couldn't sense his mana, But I guess this gives me some idea of his power and the ways it can benefit me,' Kaspian sighed as he saw Haru smiling amiably.

"I understand, that is why I complied," Haru said making Zenobia giggle as Kaspian's eyes twitched.

'So you are saying, I only amounted to that much? Sigh* let's not think about it or I might actually become depressed,' Kaspian sighed as he looked at Beast cores and looked at Haru who nodded.

Then Kaspian checked the Beast cores and some of them had a beast will in them, It made his eyes widen as it was rare to get a beast core with a will as is not to mention A beast will of an S-rank Beast. There were about 15 cores in front of him and 7 of them had beast will in them.

"Mr. Haru I have checked them, They are all Beast cores of S-rank beasts and higher beasts that have been characterized as SS-rank beasts after the Lances encountered some of them," Kaspian sighed as he smiled wryly but he was elated in his heart.

"So what rank do I get?" Haru asked with a smile and Kaspian started to think.
