Chapter 47: Rank Upgrade

The butler awoke from his slumber and completed his necessary morning tasks before leaving the room.

Upon exiting, he suddenly noticed a man standing at his door, which startled him momentarily. He quickly regained his composure, "My apologies. Why are you here at this hour?"

The skeleton, currently in human form, became embarrassed and scratched the tip of his ear, "The young master asked me to inform you that he has gone outside for a rank upgrade."

"What! A rank upgrade already?" the butler exclaimed, surprised. "It hasn't even been a week, and he's already going for a rank upgrade."

The butler sighed, "I've grown accustomed to the young master's daily activities. If he returns, please inform me."

"Of course," the skeleton replied humbly.

"Alright, I'm heading to the office now," the butler said as he made his way to the industrial office.

6:10 a.m.

In the industrial office, Sneha, who had just woken up to her alarm, began her morning tasks.

Twenty minutes later, she had completed everything and was dressed for the office. She proceeded to inspect the industrial area.

Sometime later, the butler arrived at the industrial area and, upon seeing Sneha engrossed in her work, he whispered to himself, "I don't know when the young master got so lucky, having both a loyal S-rank player and a dedicated worker like Sneha. It does ease my burden."

"Sneha, is everything going smoothly?" the butler asked casually, as their relationship had become quite informal after working together for three or four days.

"Yes," she replied, returning her focus to her work.

7:00 a.m.

Meanwhile, Aakash, who was sleeping, awoke to his alarm. He took a leisurely walk to shake off his sleepiness.

After some time, he completed his morning tasks and began to wonder, "It's a holiday today. Why haven't I seen the young master yet? Am I overthinking this? Let me ask the skeleton."

He approached the skeleton and inquired, "Hey, where is the young master?"

The skeleton gave the systematic reminder, "The young master went outside for a rank upgrade this morning."

"Oh," Aakash responded before becoming occupied with security inspections around the villa.

Kartik's House

7:30 a.m.

In another part of town, Amar, still in his room, heard a voice and groggily replied, "Mom, please let me sleep a bit longer."

In response, his mother called from the kitchen, "Amar, wake up! The instructor will arrive in half an hour."

Amar abruptly woke up, checked the time on his bedside table, which read 7:30 a.m.

His drowsiness vanished as he thought, "Oh no, the instructor is coming. I overslept again. Well, this will be the last time."

However, his resolve quickly waned, replaced by drowsiness.

He mumbled, "This is the last day. Let's just sleep for 20 more minutes. Ten minutes is enough to prepare for training," and drifted back to sleep.

Divya's Villa

In the training ground of Divya's villa, a girl was busy with rigorous training, using an ice spell to spar with a woman.

Her training attire was soaked in sweat from their long session. After some time, the woman suggested, "Miss, let's take a break. Your body needs rest."

"Alright," the girl replied, collapsing onto the ground, panting heavily.

"I've trained many girls before, but you're truly exceptional," the woman mentor praised, surprised by the girl's dedication.

Divya was surprised by the unexpected compliment and asked, "In what way?"

The mentor paused, considering her response, and then said, "You possess not only resilience and a strong will, but also the determination to endure this demanding training, which is quite unusual for someone your age."

Divya thought for a moment and simply stated, "I just want to become strong."

Her mentor was unsure how to respond to her cryptic statement. She sighed and suggested, "Miss, we've been training since 6:00 a.m. Let's take a cold bath to soothe our sore muscles."

"That sounds like a good idea. We can resume training after the cold bath," she agreed, heading off to prepare for their refreshing bath.

Rahul's Villa

9:00 a.m.

Having completed his security inspection of the villa, Aakash enjoyed his breakfast before making his way to the young master's room.

Upon reaching it and opening the gate slightly to get a view of the interior, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Hey, is anybody here?" His eyes widened as he hurried toward Rahul, who was lying unconscious on the floor.

His cry caused a commotion within the villa, and all the key members, including the skeleton, the head of security, and the head maid, gathered in the young master's room to assess his condition.

"What happened to the young master?" they all asked anxiously at the same time.

"Hey! Why are you asking like that? I have no knowledge of what happened. I just happened to see the young master lying on the floor of the room," Aakash replied anxiously.

He quickly turned to the house doctor, "Please properly check the young master's body."

"Let me check," the doctor replied and immediately got to work.

After examining the young master's condition, the doctor let out a relieved sigh and informed happily, "There's nothing to worry about; the young master is just going through the normal process of a rank upgrade."

Aakash, upon hearing the doctor's reply, also let out a sigh of relief. "I had thought about that possibility, but you never know what could happen, which is why I was anxious when I saw the young master."

Everyone else also let out a collective sigh of relief and said, "Thank God nothing happened."

"Okay, let's inform the butler about this," Aakash said happily as he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
