"I am afraid it's not possible. Nonetheless, I am only a little captain. It's impossible to skip a few ranks even if all people here vouch for me." Kai shook his head.

"Fair enough. But do you have any thought about your promotion? Although it's true that your contribution is the biggest, only a few know about this. That's why the base won't be able to give you a huge leap in the promotion." Nathan nodded in agreement.

"It's fine. I am not worried about it." Kai smiled, assuring them.

"Well, I will make sure they give an honest promotion." Ria cracked her fingers, ready to beat people in charge of this.

"Haha… Look at you right now. It's really different killing the S rank magical beast in the past and in the present, eh?" Nathan made a smug smile, teasing Ria Ross.

"Old man… Do you want to die?" Ria narrowed her eyes and released her killing intent. She looked serious because her past experience was a bit out of the limit for her.
