Sacrifice: Time of Mine

The four in front of them; Avion, Fobo, Naron, and Temon just watched silently without knowing what was happening.

"Guild Master, what's the Rank Level for each Rank again?" Mettany asked accompanied by silent but heavy breathing.

"You should already know this." the usually calm and proud Guild Master was dumbfounded.

"No, I just want to make sure."

The Guild Master thought for a while before explaining. He made his voice clear for the other four to listen as well.

"Rank Level 1-50 could be classified as Rank Eeh.

Rank Level 51-200 is Rank Dih.

201-500 is Rank Cee.

501-1000, Rank Bih. Even I only have a Rank Level 607 the last time I checked.

1001-5000 is Rank Ey and,

5001 and above is Rank Es. While Rank Eses is just a myth." he explained.

These series of unending numbers, are they real?

If they are, then this could explain Mettany's Conditioned Elesk's reaction. Meaning, that was the limit of her Conditioned Elesk which is abnormal. If she were to reach Rank Bih, would she be able to be on par with Rank Es Elementalist?

Although each gap becomes wider, remember, Conditioned Elesk evolves as the Elementalist ranks up.

If this is true, just this would make Avion Teller's value priceless!

This is still not mentioning his strength.

However... these are all wishful thinking. This is impossible.

"This must be broken. Get a Fine Appraisal Scroll." he just sighed. Although Appraisal Scroll rarely got an error or get broken, what is more believable;

This boy having God-like power or the Appraisal Scroll being broken?

Mettany understood this as well and cleared her previous thoughts. Avion Teller is strong so maybe ordinary Appraisal Scrolls would get tampered from his immense strength.

That's possible, although it had occurred too few in all of history since people would get appraised the moment they were born, there's a probability. Appraisal only needs a little bit of practice and anyone can do it. Appraisal Scrolls can be bought by commoners if they can just save up some money. Finally, Appraisal Scrolls, unless physically destroyed or damaged, can always be used.

Meaning, every family has their own Appraisal Scroll in their house. Why wouldn't they? If suddenly their child is actually talented and blessed, their commoner status would disappear and the whole family would immediately become nobles.

Going back, one should already know their Rank as they progress. There is a large gap between Ranks and one could feel and clearly experience it. Once reaching Rank Bih or even Cee, they would use a Fine Appraisal Scroll instead. Adding the fact that Rank Cee Elementalist and above are few in numbers, how could they make a mistake and use a normal Appraisal Scroll to a High-Ranking Elementalist?

Mettany came back, bringing in a bigger scroll that she has to hold with both hands. There was not much difference except for its smooth look and its size compared to a normal Appraisal Scroll.

"Give me another hair... a strand of hair on your head." the Guild Master specified in cautiousness.

Avion easily plucked one and gave it to the Guild Master. The appraisal had began when Guild Master Gon whispered once more, "Appraise"

It was the same as before. There was a gray light that shone from the pair of handles before the Guild Master opened it.

"....."

"There are random numbers again." while the Guild Master frowned in silence, Mettany whispered in astonishment. If it was the first time then they would just show a light shock.

But now, it happened again.

'Even Fine Appraisal Scroll that us, Rank Bihs and above personally use can't appraise him?'

"This is worrying. It seemed like we can't appraise you right now, Avion." the Guild Master now called Avion his first name. The more powerful one is, the more Guild Master Gon respects.

Even the three Kings of Haliviana doesn't earn so much respect from the Guild Master. Many knew this and understood. 

To this, the three beside Avion gave a questioning look, much more the person himself. 

The three were not dumb. Guild Master Gon took out a Fine Appraisal Scroll. If compared to a normal Appraisal Scroll, even a child could guess that the fine one is much better in quality and is rarer.

However, there was still not a result? What's happening?

Towards Avion, they felt questions were always popping out of their heads.

"If I can't get my identity card, I can't work." Avion said but without worry. 

"That's fine. The identity card is not that important. The guild can certainly make an exception for you. Every time you do a job, we can manually rack up your score and grades. The moment you obtain your identity card, we'll just add those accumulated points in." the Guild Master confidently said. He is, after all, a Guild Master.

Avion expected this. He knew that he had not gain a favor from this man called the Guild Master but the Guild Master was seemingly interested to the point of desperate to please him.

This expectation can be accounted to Avion's instinct.

'If he was not doing this to repay, he definitely have motives. I'll just have to be careful and not get abused like a tool.' Avion was naive at first, but now that he got enough time to observe his surrounding, he gained a bit of knowledge.

After the party, he did not just walk with an empty head. The reason he had no direction was specifically because of this.

Socially, he grasped the unwritten law of give and take. He was sure that people that give want something in return as well.

Princess Alisera was kind to him because of his looks. The King was offended and killed him. Naron, Temon, and Fobo's first intention was to rob him. Forgiving them made them take care of him. 

Although there are still a lot of dark and gray areas, Avion developed a sense of "relations"

'Heh... I'm smart.' Avion smiled, proud of himself. This naturally came to his thoughts as if he just recalled them. He easily understood them and faced no bottleneck. The more he learned, the more he understood without much questions.

'Why is he having such a smug look?' Mettany's gaze was still fixated at Avion from time to time, 'So precious...'
