Thanking him for his well wishing, she exited through the training field doors.
Suimei’s eyes narrowed as he watched that beautiful figure disappear.
—If it’s her, then this should be fine. She’s not the kind that enjoys idle chatter, and she doesn’t have any companions. Plus, she’s the cautious type.
Anyway, she was bound for the Empire anyway. It wasn’t likely that what happened here would be leaked.
…Confirming her exit, Suimei raised a question without ever taking his eyes off the doors.
“—So can you tell me what my ranking is?”
Unable to see Suimei’s expression as he posed this question, Dorothea looked up at the ceiling as she answered.
“That, hmm… Right, well, Suimei-san, you defeated both Raikas-san and Enmarph-san.”
“…Yeah.”
“…”
At this, Raikas, his face ashen, looked away. Enmarph’s face was similarly remorseful. As expected, two defeats in a row was hard to stomach. Watching the pair out of the corner of her eyes, Dorothea answered in a business-like tone.
“Although typically speaking a C-rank would be most appropriate, but considering that you’ve clearly demonstrated a B-rank ability, then it only makes sense to register you as a B-rank.”
“Oh…” Suimei said in surprise, this evaluation beyond his expectation.
B-rank. Although he was undoubtedly a person of some ability, he’d still been evaluated quite highly.
Her decision made, Dorothea revealed a happy expression, saying something that seemed to make her happy.
“That was truly very impressive. You’ve become someone famous in one go, Suimei-san.”
“Perhaps.”
“Yep, yep. I can guarantee it.”
As she spoke, she revealed a confident look that seemed to say, “Leave it all to me.”
Indeed. If a new adventurer were to suddenly appear with such a high evaluation, then his name would definitely spread quickly.
“It’s just that—”
“…?”
That was, of course, providing that certain things happened first.
“—That would only happen if the three of you – Dorothea, you included – were to reveal what happened today, right?”
