After last week's Raid, Rook became more known to many people in the Division and began to be invited to Raid frequently by many parties. He immediately chased a lot of Raids to get a lot of Credit income.
Rook immediately sat on the couch, glancing at the Lobby to look for new missions on the Monitor. While checking the mission list he began to remember his junior high school days because that's when he started to have a crush on a beautiful girl and that girl was Vera who was discussed yesterday.
(Rook starts to reminisce back to those days.)
During that time, when Rook was still very geeky and still very young, he still remembers trying to propose her and of course because the proposal was immediately rejected because he was too weak.
That's the reason Rook wants to be a Looter and of course he also wants to get a lot of Credits so he can propose her in an even cooler way (while fantasizing again when shooting Vera in a cooler and more stable way!!!).
Finished thinking about the past, Rook immediately stood up because he had found a good mission in the "Knights & Lizards" Waveround and when he came out of the Lobby he immediately bumped into someone and it turned out...
"Oh sorry!!! Are you... huh"
Rool immediately saw her face and it turned out to be the idol of his heart that he had been chasing for a long time but the dream to be with her was crushed after knowing that she "should" be dead.
"Vera!!!!" shouted Rook in shock.
"Wait a minute, aren't you..." she replied in surprise.
They stared at each other with mixed feelings, and Rook immediately looked left and right as there were many people watching.
"Rook!! Is that you?" asked Vera in surprise.
"Yes, it's me, am I a bit different from the old me?"
(After a while.)
"So how are you at this time Ver...?" asked Rook quietly.
"I'm fine... of course, you know why, right?'", she said arrogantly.
Yes ! Rook knew why she could talk like that, it was because she was an S rank Looter and of course this was probably one of the factors why Rook was rejected in the first place. Because at that time Vera was already ranked A, it was really great for a junior high school student at that time.
"Yes, I know! It's an common knowledge that a Descendant like you will definitely get promoted quickly." Rook answered loudly, having learned a lot about himself.
"Yeah, I heard that you've been promoted, after defeating our branch head (Rebecca Windrunner)", she said while giggling.
"Yeah, that's how it is!! Since yesterday's Raid, I've started getting invited to a lot of parties because they said that there are a lot of difficult waves around."
"Yeah, since yesterday's red parasite case, there were so many Epic Dungeons that appeared, I'm not surprised either, because usually these parasites have a G - Force that triggers the arrival of these monsters in Borderfield*."
"Besides, you seemed in a hurry, where are you going?"
"Oh yeah this was on a mission" while bringing up the Monitor.
" Loh !! This mission right ! " while bringing up the Monitor as well .
It turned out that after looking at our respective Monitors, we immediately knew that we chose the same mission.
"You chose this mission too!!" said Vera in surprise.
"Yeah, it just so happens that this mission has the most hefty rewards."
"Hmm..... you can also come, because after hearing yesterday's news about you I wanted to try Raid together with you."
(Hmmm.... you finally said that you basic "Undead" for years I've been waiting to show off in front of you.)" thought Rook happily. Rook had always been waiting for this moment.
"All right then, let's go to Wavebridge."
They went straight to Wavebridge and upon arrival, they saw that there were already Party members there, but strangely there were only a few who came this time and I'm increasingly convinced that this mission is difficult because there are SS Rank Looters here.
This is a very unusual thing, because this Division has not included SS Rank Looters because the Looters really don't want to be transferred to a new Division like this quickly.
"After thinking about it, I think this Looter seems to have known me but where is it? I seem to have seen it somewhere," said Rook in his heart and it turned out that he was right.
"Carl ...!!! ", Vera shouted with joy, she immediately approached Carl and hugged him.
"Hello Ver, it's been a while since we were in the 11th Division, how are you doing?"
"I'm fine Carl, I didn't know you took this mission too."
Rook who was behind him was silent, he remembered now who this person was, this was Vera's ex during middle school and the person who often bullied her. Rook clenched his fists because he couldn't stand seeing this person's face again.
"Oh yeah Carl, do you remember Rook?" Vera asked, pointing at me.
"Rook!!! is that you!? I can't believe I can see you again.", he smiled as he tried to shake hands.
Rook who was analyzing the situation accepted his handshake and immediately grinned.
"Yeah!! I didn't even realize how much you've changed now." He answered while tightening my hand.
"(Indeed I wouldn't be surprised why Vera likes you, it's actually because you are an Ultima Skill user* and you happen to also come from an established Descendant family too.)" Rook sneered enviously.
"How are you doing now? I heard from Vera that you can beat S+ Rank, it's great that you can jump Rank." He said in a slightly pleased tone.
"Yeah!! Rebecca is really weak!! That's just an S+ Rank, I feel insulted!!".
And everyone in the room turned to Rook and started to sharpen their eyes and started to give off their fighting aura. Rook was sure that the ones looking at him like that were S+ Rank kids and maybe even Ranks below him who were annoyed with his arrogant remarks.
"It's hot in here, Rook wants to chat in another corner." Said Carl who invited him and Vera away from the annoyed crowd.
(After switching positions.)
" Rook !! How do you feel after jumping Rank are you happy ? " asked Carlos calmly .
"(Hmm…..you don't – don't move here because…)" thought Rook suspiciously.
"I'm sure you'll be happy right!! You can go up that fast. I happen to want to register for the Rank Acceleration Rumble which will be held next month for the inauguration of this system."
"(MMMM.... I thought you'd be greedy, SS Rank still doesn't jump in rank again, even though he actually just pays the division head to jump to SSS Rank.)"
Yes, it's true, in the Looters company there is a lot of Nepotism in increasing Rank, especially for the people from the 11th Division. Indeed, Division 11 contains all Overpowered people but there are also ruffians who play with money there.
Besides that, Rook also doesn't wonder why he moved here, besides the prima donna of our middle school, he also seems to want to participate in the inauguration of the 13th Division Rank Acceleration which will be visited by the Heads of other Divisions
Of course, Rook will definitely participate in the event, he has also trained in such a way so that he can fight many seniors who will come later and of course the alumni who have become "official Looters" will also participate in this event later.
"Yes! I'm really happy to be able to hit an S+ rank child once - once, I've also started practicing, after all, not all children under S rank will take part in this event, right."
"Not really Rook!! I will also come later!!!" replied Vera with a confident tone.
"Ohh yeah.....hohoho...as I thought." Rook replied, dismissively. Why not ? He just beat S+ rank, let alone Vera, right?
(At the moment after Rook spoke)
" Ladies and gentlemen !!!!!, the Wavebridge for the Party on the mission " Knights & Lizards " has started to open."
Rook immediately woke up, and at that moment Mbak Joy appeared with someone and she was shocked after seeing that person.
"Hello everyone!!!! Jennie is here with Joy on LOOT TV, here is a new Epic level mission, guys!!!."
"Hellooo!!!!! Joy is here, today's mission is "Knights & Lizards" , the sensor in Wavebridge said that since yesterday's case of the red parasite, a lot of monsters have appeared in the Borderfield area!!"
"Huuuaaa!!!! Creepy!!!!! the monsters detected here are monsters with thick armor like knight armor but,....the body is equipped with long sharp spines!!! Hiiiiyy!!!."
"Yes!!!! but fortunately there is a well-known SS Rank here.... namely... Carlos !!!!!" shouted Ms. Joy and Jennie calling the main star in this Raid.
