"What about you guys.? Do you still want to be here.?" Marco asked Alicia and the others.
"I'll follow your decision Marco." Answer Alicia.
"Then let me just fall here." Marco said as he crushed his body.
"Okay, we'll wait." Said Alicia.
"Do you guys not want to hunt demon animals.?" Ask Lilia.
"You can go with Rin and Lilia." Saut Emma's.
"I think I want to strengthen myself." Herry.
"I also want to leave, I beg your permission Princess." Said Eva.
"All right, you go hunting." Said Alicia.
"Okay, it's decided. We're leaving now." Lilia.
Then, the four of them went out from there and hunted the demon beasts.
"I'll cook something too." Said Emma.
"Do I need to help.?" Ask Alicia.
"Can you cook.?" Ask Emma back.
"Ah, Not so can." Answer Alicia.
"Then just wait here, I can do it myself." Saut Emma's.
"Em, good miss." Said Alicia.
...
"Aren't you guys in class today.?" Ask Rudy.
"I don't know, don't ask me." Answer Marco.
"What's he been doing all this time.?" Saut Rudy's.
"We're in a snooze right now. Mahaguru is facing His Majesty the King." Said Alicia.
"Ho, so so." Saut Rudy's.
"I'm very curious about you. Who the hell are you.?" Ask Alicia.
"I've said it many times, we are commoners, there is no longer our identity." Answer Rudy.
"Did you save me that time.?" Ask Alicia.
"Ah, that's right. Without any information from Marco and Lilia, maybe we didn't move." Answer Rudy.
"Hm, then, how strong are you all.?" Ask Alicia seriously.
"Can you guarantee it if I tell you the truth.?" Ask Rudy back.
"I'm very curious. Actually, we need even more power." Alicia Saut.
"What do you need strength for.?, aren't you all already strong.?" Ask Rudy.
"Somewhere the eastern part of the kingdom. It has become a nest of demonic animals, even the air has become poisonous due to the thick smoke emitted by the demonic animals there." Answer Alicia.
"Then, have you ever been there.?" Ask Rudy.
"There are 3 people with Rank S power levels who have gone there with a lot of combat power." Answer Alicia.
"Then, what happened to them.?" Ask the curious Marco.
"That "fighting power was the strongest, which the kingdom had ever possessed at the moment. But they were all killed there. Only 3 Rank S men and a few troops made it out of there." Answer Alicia.
Rudy and Marco were silent to Alicia's story.
"That's why, the government created a special army called the new army of war knights. This special force was formed to replace the previously fallen special forces." Said Alicia.
"So, you're the leader of that new army.?" Ask Rudy.
"Right, we were tested to eradicate the demonic animals that roamed the fortress at that time. The information we received, the demon beasts there were numerous and very powerful. The King tested our fighting strength there." Answer Alicia.
"You've really delivered lives there." Saut Rudy's.
"We are very lucky to be alive today. And it was from this success that we were inaugurated as the true Kestaria of war." Said Alicia.
"Then, are you going to be assigned to the east.?" Ask Rudy.
"That's right, the next few months we'll be going there. Now, the palace was thinking of a way to break through their defenses. Grandmasters, Nobles, and Kings met every day just to discuss this matter." Answer Alicia.
"Em, is that why you're looking for us.?" Ask Marco.
"Right Marco, after you came to the Academy, we were very happy. Our combat strength is very weak now. Even the 3 nobles who managed to survive from there suffered very serious injuries, and some even lost their hands." Answer Alicia.
"Then, why do you want to take that place.?" Ask Rudy.
"So, you want to take over that mine.?" Ask Rudy.
"Of course. The tools we use, vehicles, buildings, even weapons. All the raw materials in the supply of Ferland which is now a dead city. We've been trying to take over that place for years." Answer Alicia.
"Their industry is hampered by Rudy. Maybe even in the next few years, this kingdom will be in crisis with the mines." Emma's sudden sout.
"Eat." Emma said while giving food to Rudy, Marco and Alicia.
"That's right Rudy. If we don't have the mine. Furniture and buildings can be very expensive. And even coins don't cost anymore." Said Alicia.
"It's like state inflation. I get it now." Saut Rudy's.
"So we really need someone who can help us. We have asked for help from the kingdom of friends, but they can only help with food supplies. While we've lost a lot of lives on that expedition." Said Alicia.
"Hm. Where are your preparations now.?" Ask Rudy.
"We've gathered about 50k in each city. Even the warlord will be participating in the expedition this time. Food supply and spare clothing, also we have prepared, more or less the supply will survive in brackets 2 years of the expedition period." Answer Alicia.
"Do you have any information about that place Emma.?" Ask Rudy.
"That place was lived by a demon animal of S+ Rank level and above. It could be said, there was an Expert level dungeon there." Answer Emma.
"Ah, it will take 1 more year to conquer the Dungeon." Saut Rudy's.
"What do you mean Rudy.?" Ask Alicia.
"Every dungeon has a floor down to the earth. There are about 1000 floors. It could be said, the dungeon there is a place of mine excavation." Answer Rudy.
"You're good at analyzing now." Saut Emma's.
"Are all dungeons like that.?" Ask Alicia.
"Have you ever been to a dungeon.?" Ask Rudy back.
"I've been to a dungeon, but I never count the floors." Answer Alicia.
"So, you guys never finished that dungeon.?" Ask Rudy.
"I didn't know it was Rudy, obviously, the way down was never the end. So we're just hunting enough." Answer Alicia.
"Hem, you're just making a new home for demon animals." Saut Rudy's.
"Ah, I just found out now. We have only been taught to fight since we were kids. Such information is never in the books." Said Alicia.
"Surely you won't find that information." Said Emma.
"Did you ever finish Rudy's dungeon.?" Ask Alicia.
"We're all here to finish the dungeon until it's over. I've been living in a dungeon for 12 years." Answer Rudy.
"He. uh.?" Alicia's words were very surprised.
"That's why I just want to enjoy life in peace out here. Social status is not important to me." Said Rudy.
"Nobody has been in a dungeon for 2 years. We usually build camp outside the dungeon and enter alternately. Even if it is calculated in real time. We only go into the dungeon for at most only 1 year. The rest of us outside the dungeon." Said Alicia.
"Hm, it's appropriate that you lack information." Saut Rudy's.
"I'm even considered the strongest human being right now." Said Marco.
"Well, what do you want from us.?" Ask Rudy.
"Ah, let me express our request. First, I wonder about your strength. And secondly, I ask you to help with the expedition this time." Answer Alicia.
"Hm, maybe you wouldn't expect Alicia. The strength of the four of us far surpasses that of an Albion legend." Saut Rudy's.
"He. uh.?" Saut Alicia with surprise while gulping spit.
"Maybe we're the only people who surpass human power that has existed since ancient times." Said Rudy.
"Then, are you guys in the SS Rank.?" Ask Alicia.
"We've come much further than that." Answer Rudy.
"Impossible." Alicia said dumbfoundedly.
"Alright, Marco has now reached the Rank M Symbol, and Lilia has also reached the Rank M Symbol." Said Rudy.
"M.? What does that mean.?" Ask Alicia.
"M is Mythic, it's a power above a high-ranking Special Rank." Answer Rudy.
"I just heard it." Alicia said in surprise.
"Mythic Levels were the same as the others. There are the lowest M, the middle M+, and the highest MM." Said Rudy.
"You won't know that theory." Said Emma.
"Ah, I'm shaking hearing it." Alicia Saut.
