Chapter 75 - Chapter 75: One Step Closer

As he lies, Saiba begins to shut his eyes. Suddenly, he feels something lift him off the ground as he forces himself awake.

Looking around, he sees the female attendant lifting him up. She says,

"The test is over. You may leave."

Saiba frees himself from her grasp and says,

"Oh! Right..."

He brushes the dust off of him as the room returns to its previous stark white appearance. Despite already seeing it, he is still amazed by it.

Walking towards the exit, the large metal doors creak open along with sounds of machinery echoing within the walls.

He goes through the hallway and back into the main building where he sees Lazaro and Lily standing, waiting for him to finish. Lily spots him and shouts,

"What happened to you!? Why do you look so beat up!?"

Scratching the back of his head, Saiba replies,

"Heh... The test was rough..."

He changes the subject,

"How'd your test go, Lazaro?"

He grins and answers,

"It was a piece of cake!"

Saiba teases,

"You sure about that?"

Lazaro announces,

"You're staring at the [Ranger], Lazaro Alberoth! A [7 Star Adventurer]!"

Saiba asks another question,

"What monsters did you fight?"

With a confused look, Lazaro asks,

"Monsters?"

Saiba responds,

"Yeah! The [Night Wolves] and [Skeletons] were no problem, but the Giants really took me for a spin!"

Still very confused, Lazaro questions,

"What are you talking about?"

Saiba explains,

"You know, the test! You got to choose where you fight and then they send out monsters!"

Lily interjects,

"Where's the attendant that came with you? Go find her right now!"

Saiba mumbles,

"Was I not supposed to have giants..?"

He answers,

"I don't know where she went after I left her..."

Lily grabs Saiba's hand and brings him to the front desk, cutting through the people in the line. She demands,

"We're looking for one of your employees! She had blonde hair in a ponytail, brown eyes, and she was a little taller than me! Hero, do you have a name or something?"

Saiba thinks hard and remembers,

"Uh... It was... G... G.... G something! Sorry, I can't remember..."

The attendant at the desk replies,

"I'm sorry ma'am, but there isn't anyone here that matches your description."

Lily drags him back to where they left Lazaro as Saiba questions,

"What's the problem anyway? Was I not supposed to fight giants or something?"

Lily answers,

"You weren't supposed to fight at all!"

Saiba has a completely confused look. Lazaro explains,

"You're just supposed to fill out some form and show the attendant your [Skills] and stuff..."

Saiba mutters,

"Wha-..."

Lily replies,

"Well... It's in the past, so there's no point in worrying about it..."

She mumbles,

"I think I have a good idea of what happened anyways..."

Lily asks,

"What Class and Rank did the person give you?"

Saiba realizes,

"She didn't give me one!"

Lily grabs him again, taking him back to the desk. She commands,

"The attendant this guy was with didn't tell him his results! Do you have his information anywhere!?"

The same attendant from before replies,

"Of course. I just need a name."

Saiba mumbles,

"Okumura... Saiba Okumura..."

He flips through a stack of papers and pulls one out. The attendant quickly scans through it as his jaw drops and he mutters,

"No way..."

He reads out,

"Saiba Okumura, Title: Legendary Hero. Class: [Berserker], Rank: [16 Star]."

Lily mumbles,

"You mean..."

The attendant shouts,

"This man is the new 10th Adventurer!"

The people in the Haven all stop and focus their attention on Saiba. They begin gossiping about him as he stands, very embarrassed. They say things like,

"The new [10th Adventurer]? If he's the Legendary Hero, it would make sense for him to be in the Top 10..."

"Finally! That Aldrich guy was too full of himself! Someone oughta put him in his place!"

"This kid!? Top 10!? What a joke! I should be 1st then!"

Saiba thinks,

"The Top 10!? Yeah! I'm finally getting somewhere! I made a promise to myself... To reach my goal, to fulfill my reason... I still have a long way to go, but I'm one step closer now to becoming a Great Hero! Alright, let show these people what I'm made of!"

He puts his hands on his hips, poses, and announces,

"That's right! I'm Saiba Okumura! A [Berserker], [16 Star], the [10th Adventurer], and the legendary hero of Estrelia!"

His words echo through the building as he makes his impact on the headquarters of [Adventurers]. Meanwhile, Lily stares at him, shaking her head and facepalming.
