A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War! - FSAGW Chapter 53 (Part 2)

The stats were more than sufficient, even if they weren’t overwhelming.

“My stats are sufficient. I need to polish my skills more than anything.”

Thanks to his high stats, he hadn’t felt that anything was lacking until now. But through the duel with Kaes, he keenly felt the insufficiency of his experience and skills.

“It was just a brief moment, but I couldn’t overwhelm him.”

Until he sparred with Kaes, he thought he could easily dominate him.

With his high strength and skills, even without using aura.

But the results were disappointing. It wasn’t that he lacked strength compared to him.

It was the lack of experience and skills. Those were the two things he was lacking.

“Kaiyan!”

“I need continuously spar with people.”

“Kaiyan!!”

Lost in thought, he snapped back to reality when Bisel grabbed his shoulder and shook it vigorously.

He was shouting loudly, for some urgent reason.

“What’s the matter?”

“You! Your rank came out! You passed the test!”

“What?”

“Hurry and see!”

Because of Bisel’s shaking, he headed towards the desk with the employee without properly assessing the situation.

The employee looked at him with a smiling face as he approached.

“Ah, Mr. Kaiyan!”

“Yes?”

“Congratulations! It’s not easy to start with a B-rank, but thanks to Mr. Kaes’s strong recommendation, you have been classified as B-rank.”

“What? Did I really receive a B-rank?”

When he saw that even Uncle Jeff, who had been a mercenary for decades, was an A-rank, he could understand how high the B-rank was.

But starting with a B-rank? He had expected at best a C-rank or D-rank.

“I don’t know how to use aura. Could there have been a mistake?”

He asked the employee, fearing there might be a misunderstanding.

If he thought he knew how to use aura, it wouldn’t be strange to start with a B-rank.

But he had never used aura in any of his duels.

“Haha, we know that much. Don’t worry, there’s no mistake.”

He felt a bit bewildered.

He had only intended to get the mercenary card without any hindrance.

“Well, there’s no harm in having a higher rank.”

“I understand. So, about the mercenary card…”

“Oh, it can be issued right away. Please wait a moment.”

While waiting for the mercenary card, Bisel, who had been watching from the side, approached.

“Hey! How did your rank turn out?”

“It turned out better than I expected.”

“Oh yeah? That’s great! Then you should try taking on a proper request now that you’re an official mercenary!”

“A request…”

Although he had no intention of taking on a request, he became interested because he had never experienced it before.

Bisel’s words sparked his curiosity.

“Yeah, my colleagues and I have a big request this time.”

“I see.”

“They say it involves escorting Therian Merchant Caravan from the upper ranks in Blatan. But the thing is…”

Bisel continued to babble, but he couldn’t hear his words anymore.

He lost interest and was about to turn his head.

“It’s going northwest. What was it…”

“To the northwest?”

“Yeah, that’s right! They say it goes near the monsters’ habitat, but it’s not very dangerous because we won’t be going inside.”

If it’s northwest from here, it’s the direction of the ruined hometown.

It’s also his next destination.

“Are there any conditions to participate in the request as a mercenary?”

“Hmm? Oh, well, normally you need to be at least C-rank, but in the mercenary group, D-rank is also acceptable. So I thought about letting you join our group since you’re D-rank, haha!”

It could be interesting.

Actually, the fact that he would be meeting new people excited him.

Since it would take a considerable amount of time to reach his hometown, there was no need to spend that time doing nothing.

“There’s no harm in having a higher rank.”

“I understand. Then, can I participate in the request as a mercenary?”

“A request? Ah, of course! If you’re B-rank, you don’t even need to join our mercenary group!”

“It sounds interesting.”

In fact, the fact that he would meet new people excited him.

After confirming that Kaiyan and Bisel had left, Berian, the employee at the mercenary office, approached the back door.

Squeak.

“Mr. Kaes.”

When Berian opened the door and entered, Kaes was in the corner of the office’s training ground, holding his right wrist and closing his eyes.

“Mr. Kaes!”

“Ah, Berian.”

It took a few calls for Kaes to regain his senses and open his eyes, looking at Berian.

“I issued a mercenary card for Mr. Kaiyan.”

“Oh? Well, did you say anything else?”

“Hoo… What else is there to say?”

Kaes smiled at Berian, who let out a deep sigh.

“Heh heh, should I demand compensation for my injured wrist?”

“It seems like you’re fine despite the injury.”

As Berian pointed out, Kaes was indeed injured. It was his right wrist that held the sword.

“I was too careless at first. It’s my fault.”

“But still, it’s impressive. Mr. Kaes, being injured… It’s been a while.”

“It sounds like I’m completely helpless.”

“…If you say so. Anyway, shall I do some research on this guy named Kaiyan?”

“Why? Are you planning revenge?”

“Khehehe. That’s not the case. I’m just curious. I wonder where he grew up to become such a monster.”

“If you call him a monster to that extent… Do you really believe that he was your match even if you used aura?”

Kaes’s eyes momentarily turned fierce, like the eyes of a beast.

“If I tell you I used aura, will your eyes bulge out?”

“Yes? You used aura?”

“Yes, I used it a little.”

“Huh. But even so, you were pushed back. I’ll look into it. I’ll contact headquarters.”

“Sure, go ahead. Hehe, an interesting fellow has appeared after a long time.”

Kaes smiled while looking at his right wrist as if he wouldn’t forget.
