After seeing this description and locating the system's hidden warning message, Cassius saw a crimson-black skull key drop into his hands. It radiated death and certain demise; for him, there was no question about the veracity of the system's words. If he leapt into what would be created by this key before achieving a B-Rank power level, he would undoubtedly die. And even with his most recent gains included, he was still far from the 250 stat mark that would indicate the B-Rank.
Furthermore, that 250 stat mark was usually meant to be an all-around milestone, as in every single main stat should be at or above 250. Cumulatively, the weakest B-Rank Hunter would have around 1250 stat points distributed mostly evenly.
Of course, Hunters had their strengths and weaknesses, but they never varied greatly enough to exceed a rank.
