The news of a new novice adventurer receiving a gold plate immediately after the examination spread throughout the Empire and neighboring countries with speed similar to that of fire in hay. This occurrence has only happened once before, and it was by that guy. Therefore, it is undoubtedly another manifestation of the enigmatic entities we have already mentioned previously. Consequently, some individuals are already eagerly anticipating the arrival of a glorious war.
And one of those individuals were Jircniv, whom by the way was just dealing with this report in his office, surrounded by his four loyal imperial knights as well as his teacher and mentor, Fluder Paradyne himself.
As described in the light novel, Jircniv has blonde hair that reflects with magical illumination just like the shine of the stars, and clear purple eyes that look like amethysts.
Dealing with something like this was no joke. Under the immaculate stress that he accumulated overtime, Jircniv slams his hand on his office, "All of this has no meaning!" He shouts, his expression was reflecting pure anger.
"Calm down my Lord, I'm sure it's not that bad." Says the first royal knight, enthusiastically. This was Baziwood, a tall and shredded enthusiastic warrior, wearing the same dark metallic armor as the rest of the knights.
"GRR!!" Baziwood's contradictory sentence got the Emperor mad. "NO you don't understand! The last adventurer who transcended all previous ranks during his first day also revealed himself to be one of the demon gods! This is surely another apparition!" Jircniv explained.
"But the same could be said about the adventurer Momon. Still, he started out at bronze but managed to atteign Adamantite in less than two months! Talk about abnormal growth." This was said by Nimble. A medium height knight with short blonde hair and blue eyes.
"This could only mean one thing. It's my personal theory." The one-man-army known as Fluder Paradyne stepped forward as he was about to tell everyone about his hypothesis.
"When the demon gods appeared, the world sent the heroes to counterattack. We could theorize that for every ounce of fatal evil, there's a reciprocal weight of justice and good. My theory suggests that Momon, the Hero of Darkness, who spreads justice and good, is peophicized to meet his fatal rival, a being of pure malice. Together, they will lead an extraordinary fight, ultimately annihilating each other and finally restoring the balance of good and evil back to the world." Fluder explained.
His explanation seemed logical; flawed but still acceptable.
"Interesting. So according to the Lord, we are indeed witnessing a new apparition... Well, in any case, I see escape as the most efficient measure to take, we wouldn't want risking our lives in a fight that's not ours..." It was said by Leinas, a tall blonde knightess with green eyes and a beauty mark below her smooth inferior lip. She was considered to be the Empire's best-looking woman.
Her words earned her a silent treatment from the last imperial knight; Nazami. A tall, mysterious and always silent man with immense muscles and a dark tanned skin, dark brown eyes, short grey hair, a tear-troughs under his eyes, and an x-shaped scar on his chin.
Jircniv gets up from his seat and goes towards the massive glass window, which gave him a clear and magnificent view of a portion of his beloved land.
"So many entities of extraordinary power appearing in this world, on such a short notice... One appearing in my Empire so suddenly can't be considered a simple coincidence." He said. Then, he turned to face Fluder directly.
"Fluder. I hereby order you to conduct research on the vampire who's name is Anyopenyocho." Jircniv ordered.
Fluder bows in acceptance, "I shall get working at once, your majesty." He says.
"A second if you may, I'm also interested in the mage Ainz Ooal Gown who's being getting more and more famous lately... Jircniv faces the window again*. As for the young adventurer, call him in. I want to have a formal audience with him... But before so, I want you to meet him personally, and tell me what he's like, before I do so myself, so I have a better understanding on this one's personality. You may proceed as you desire."
"As you wish, your majesty." Fluder bows one last time before heading out.
Left alone with the imperial knights, Jircniv gave the signal to leave as they'll immediately start preparing the audience for a meeting.

For his amazing prouesse, the gold-rank adventurer was given a free apartment to reside in as a welcoming gift to the guild. Hiro was resting in his bed while thinking about what to do next.
Now that he's registered as an abnormally powerful adventurer with little to no experience, he was sure that attention was starting to get drawn to him. Meaning that things will start escalating pretty quickly from now on, something he desired since it'll surely please his master Akira.
Now all he needed was leverage; reasons for his upcoming actions. As well as witnesses, yes a lot of those.
"I need to play my next cards carefully if I want to live. Who knows what'll happen to me if I bore my master!" Hiro said to himself, anxious about what's yet to come.
Meanwhile Akira was just helping Alice sleep without her throwing a tantrum and doing anything and everything.
Suddenly, Hiro head some nocking on the door to his apartment. Eager to see who it is, he got up from the bed and went to open the door. He opened it.
"Greetings, young man." The old man at the other side of the door greeted.
"Um... Hello... My name's Hiro." Hiro introduced himself, awkwardly, not knowing who this fella might be or what his intentions are.
"My pleasure, Hiro. My name is Fluder Paradyne. I am the Empire's Ministor of Magic and I was personally sent by his majesty to have an acquitance with you." Fluder stated.
Hiro looked at the side and saw that this mage came along with a few certified secret service workers. Meaning that this was the real deal.
"Alright, mister Fluder... Come in!" Hiro invited.
Fluder dismissed the secret service agents then entered Hiro's appartement.
