Zeryl looked nervously at Ryuuji. She never thought the one she tried to kill him actually the real one. Moreover, The owner of her is definitely pissed off when being picked off without good reason, she had seen other people tried to fight with Ryuuji yet ended with them scared their life out of them.
She never thought she will get a chance to being placed at their place. Yet, reality is harsh. It is already happened.
"So, what is it you want to talk about?"
"Um, about Eruna."
Ryuuji's face turned to worry, he went near to Zeryl with worry. Ryuuji held on Zeryl's shoulder.
"How is she? Is she fine?"
"She is fine. "
"Thank god she's fine."
Ryuuji heaved in relief. Zeryl glanced at Ryuuji. Eventhough they can't act as free will in the game but they can remember that Ryuuji didn't change at all.
"I'll need to cover and put a limit to my power, do you have some idea?"
"Hmm, maybe Gharf can make some. How strong you want, master?"
"Third quarter of my strength. I believe this can train my body to be sturdier."
"There is no way master can lose to anyone!"
"Time always move. No one can say for certain that they will become strongest forever."
Ryuuji patted Zeryl's head. Ryuuji actually also relief when see his familiar safe and alive.

Ryuuji returned with dark dragon's head with Frank and co. Ryuuji went to Rin and passed the head. He smiled radiantly.
"This is the quest's requirement, correct?"
"Yes, the reward is..."
"I want to challenge the SS rank."
The rowdy adventure guild turned silent as they started to whispered slowly.
"He's kidding right?"
"Isn't he just a newbie?"
"He started to become absurd."
Ryuuji ignored the voices as a loud voice appeared in the guild.
"HAH!? The is someone who dare to challenge SS rank adventurer!? Who is he?!"
The good-looking red haired young man turn to look at Ryuuji but Ryuuji didn't feel any pressure but opposite felt the pressure. With sharp eyes, he saw the young man sweat heavily as he mumbled,
"King Emperor Sage... It's true..."

After looking at the quest, Ryuuji had emotionless face as he pondered.
'Is this good or no good?'
Ryuuji pondered until the red-haired man dashed toward him and land a jab aiming at Ryuuji's face. Ryuuji moved his head a little avoiding the fist. Ryuuji looked at the man with questioning face.
"Ehem, may I know who are you?"
Red-haired man grinned as he stood in battle position.
"Akari Dragonheart. Descendant of Dragon King."
Ryuuji heard the red-haired man, nodded.
'I hunt that lizard for my Heaveny Dragon King armor. I think I bullied them for almost a day.'
Ryuuji pondered little bit time when he hunt dragon kings' scales to the point he need to wait for spawn time. Akari dashed toward him with bloodlust.
"Alright, descendant of dragon king. I'm not interested in your rank or whatever. I want to see this world."
Ryuuji said as he pulled out hidden sword cane and parried Akari's blade without care. The shockwave from Akari's big blade made him fly few feet before backflip and land smoothly. Everybody dumbfounded when to see Ryuuji hidden sword cane didn't unsheathed and left any crack opposite to Akari's big blade had big crack with Akari breathing hard. Ryuuji shook his head.
"You should go meet your parent and ask the name of 'King Sage Emperor Ryuuji Cloudking'."
Ryuuji said as he went out with carefree leaving the guild. Akari face went pale when heard 'King Sage Emperor Ryuuji Cloudking'. In their tradition, these name can be considered a terrifying creature who had killed thousands of Dragon kings' ancestors like breathing. Even the Dragon kings' ancestor enraged, it has no effect but he become more savage as he didn't give any moment to the dragon to counter. He thought it was just some myth. Now he see one, the rumour for Ryuuji Cloudking as Immortal Human seems true.
'I wonder what kind of dinner will I be eating...'
Ryuuji thought as he picking nose and flick it away while went to his inn.
