Chapter 825 - 644: The Strongest Title (Part 2)

"I don’t think you’ll lose to Freyja Clan’s black-and-white knight, so let’s just do it!"

"Anyway, Freyja Clan is just a rival faction. It’s better for us to take this title than let someone else have it!"

Grace’s words made everyone nod in agreement.

"That’s right, no way we’re letting Freyja Clan have it!"

Theone declared with a clenched fist.

"Hehe!" Theona also laughed happily, "Now it’s settled, our clan has three firsts, one more than Freyja Clan!"

Freyja Clan has two acknowledged Orario firsts.

[Mighty] as the only Lv.7 in Orario, holds the title of "Strongest in the City."

[Goddess’s Chariot] as the vice-captain of Freyja Clan, is acknowledged as the number one in "Agility," known as "Fastest in the City."

And Loki’s clan also has two recognized strongest.

Revilia is Orario’s strongest Magic Guide.

Ais is Orario’s strongest female swordsman.

Now, Reiger has become Orario’s strongest Magic Swordsman, making Loki’s clan hold three number ones, one more than Freyja Clan.

"Tch."

Hearing the conversation, Bert clicked his tongue, unable to resist saying a word.

"That damn cat, once I reach Lv.6, I’ll kick him to death, then his ’first’ will be mine."

As the acknowledged number one in "Agility" within Loki’s clan, the number one in speed among the first-tier adventurers, Bert has been displeased with [Goddess’s Chariot] for a long time.

Interestingly, Bert is a werewolf, while [Goddess’s Chariot] is a cat person, both belonging to the Beastman Clan, and both have foul mouths and bad temperaments, often being compared by others in the past.

They say similar kinds repel each other, especially when both have foul mouths and bad temperaments in the Beastman Clan?

If it weren’t for [Goddess’s Chariot] being Lv.6 and Bert only Lv.5, perhaps this werewolf would have already sought trouble.

"Alright." Reiger didn’t act modestly, and seeing everyone saying this, he nonchalantly bit his bread and said, "If this title can bring some benefits to the clan, I don’t mind accepting it."

Never mind being the strongest Magic Swordsman, even truly vying for the strongest, taking the place of that "Peak" [Mighty] master, if Reiger wanted to replace him, it wouldn’t be impossible.

In a sense, the current Reiger is the real holder of the "Strongest in the City" title. Although Ota is strong, if a real fight were to break out, Reiger still has the confidence to win.

Of course, that’s assuming he can go all out.

As for now, unless Reiger brings out some game-breaking Magic, like time Magic or other trump cards, he isn’t quite sure if he could win against the city’s only Lv.7.

But there’s no rush, right?

Considering the way others perceive his growth, in one or two months, he could officially announce his upgrade to Lv.6.

Then, after some time, he could also officially announce his upgrade to Lv.7.

By then...

Recalling the mighty performance of [Mighty] in the original story, a faint battle spirit flickered in Reiger’s eyes.

In today’s Orario, perhaps only this "Peak" has the qualification to make him give it his all.

Reiger’s battle spirit was noticed by two people.

One was Ais, who had been silently watching Reiger.

The other was Rephia, who cast an admiring glance at Reiger.

The two young women, who had been captivated in various ways by this man, shared a similar thought upon seeing the battle spirit in his eyes.

"Whom is the battle spirit in his eyes directed at?"

The two young women thus found themselves curious and intrigued.

Additionally, the surrounding clan members began to enthusiastically discuss Reiger’s acquisition of the title "Orario’s Strongest Magic Swordsman."

"To gain the strongest title at Lv.5, isn’t that just Ais Miss’s specialty in the past?"

"Now that Mr. Reiger has also obtained the strongest title, our clan is sure to surpass Freyja Clan eventually, right?"

"Exactly, as long as Mr. Reiger continues to grow rapidly as he does, we will surpass Freyja Clan eventually."

"I’m more worried about something else. I wonder if [White Demon Staff] and [Black Demon Sword] will secretly give Mr. Reiger trouble after knowing this."

"Aren’t they known as the fiercest Magic Sword Black and White Knights? Who knows what they’ll do?"

"I’m not worried. Though Mr. Reiger is Lv.5, with the strength he’s demonstrated, he would absolutely not lose to any of those Black and White Knights."

"I believe that too, but there’s concern they won’t fight one on one but together since those two are famously inseparable."

"Are they planning a two-on-one fight?"

"If they can do something so shameless, Freyja Clan won’t be able to show their faces in Orario anymore."

"Exactly, exactly."

The members of the clan thus began to chatter, making the already lively dining hall even more vibrant.

In the meantime, Reiger’s side had started discussing the schedule for the day.

The three leaders had no surprise stating that they had to stay at headquarters to handle official duties, as the aftermath of the last expedition was still unfinished, and preparations for the next expedition had to be made, which was not a time to slack off.

Rephia planned to study in the library, learning new knowledge, and practice parallel chanting to become a mobile artillery, so she wouldn’t always need protection.

Theona and Theone seemed to have plans to head to the underground city, saying they were surpassed by Ais and then by Reiger, making them lose face as clan seniors, so they’d put in whatever extra effort they could.

As for Ais, she claimed her body and mind had been adjusted in the practice with Reiger and her body no longer felt off-balance, so she planned to continue practicing breath of wind at home, looking to master it soon.

Bert... he had already left silently, clearly heading for the underground city.

Coincidentally, Reiger also planned to visit the underground city today.

First, his ability values had not yet reached their limit. Having returned to the Earth Mistake World and Orario, where the underground city is located, he naturally wanted to explore the underground city, using the endless emergence of numerous monsters to accumulate experience points and strive to reach SSS in all abilities, reaching the limit of his current level.

Secondly, he suddenly remembered that keeping his ability at Lv.5 might have another advantage.

That is achieving great deeds.

In the original story, there was someone who, despite being able to level up, due to certain reasons, didn’t update their ability values and remained at Lv.4.

At Lv.4, this person repeatedly braved dangerous situations, situations that might not have been significant if they were Lv.5, but for someone stuck at Lv.4, these became necessary adventures demanding full efforts.

Due to this reason, that person continuously fought under the constraints of Lv.4, accumulating an extraordinary amount of great deeds and high-level experience points, eventually blooming in a long-awaited ability value update, achieving the first simultaneous ascension in the lower realms, a miracle that drove even the gods crazy.

So that person leaped from Lv.4 to Lv.6, creating a miracle.

Recalling this, Reiger felt an impulsive excitement.

"If I also continually challenge enemies far beyond Lv.5, could I similarly accumulate high-level experience points, achieving great deeds and eventually upgrade?"

Reiger wanted to try.

He didn’t plan on sharing this with anyone.

Otherwise, the clan would surely stop him.

"I’ll just secretly go and try it out."

Having made the decision, Reiger silently finished his meal.

Half an hour later, he left the headquarters alone and headed towards the underground city.
