"C-can you say your name, Miss?"
" ...Raiden Shogun." After thinking for a moment, Lux (Raiden Ei) said the name she had determined.
It was not that she did not want to use the name Raiden Ei but... She thought that her real name was only worthy to be told to a proper person.
It's a bit arrogant, but it's also because of the influence of Raiden Ei's personality. Perhaps it was more like Raiden Shogun?
Lux (Raiden Ei) did not know Raiden Shogun's current state of consciousness because her current role was as Raiden Ei.
Or perhaps she was acting as both? Lux (Raiden Ei) wasn't sure but hopefully yes... Because she didn't want there to be a time bomb inside her body.
"H-how about the origin of the City, Empire or Kingdom you live in?"
"I am not affiliated to any power. In other words 'Neutral'."
"S-so, it can be inferred that you're from a village?"
"...Yes, let's put it that way." Although it sounded quite outrageous, but considering that she basically had no identity, she was indeed like an ignorant villager.
"T-then...
And for a few minutes, the two of them conducted a questioning session. The receptionist asked questions while Lux (Raiden Ei) answered all the questions calmly.
"And lastly... Can you touch this ball? This B-ball will determine your current Tier, Talent, and experience. "
"Tier?" Although Lux (Raiden Ei) already knew, she still had to pretend not to know.
"Tier is a kind of power ranking. The higher the Tier, the faster and easier it is to increase a Hunter's Rank."
Tier starts from Tier 1 to Tier 10 and then each Tier has three more levels: early, middle, and late.
But breaking through Tier is not easy. The speed of breaking through tiers depends on the type of Talent you get.
People will usually assume that a strong tier is a much higher tier.
That used to be the case but now since the advent of the Hunter Rank System, that's all changed.
Some say that strength isn't everything and yes, that's true. If Tier represents one's strength, then Rank represents three things: strength, experience, and achievements.
The higher the Rank, the higher the level of power and experience.
For example, there is a Tier 6 (final) with no experience against a Rank S Tier 5 (final) Hunter. The Tier 5 Rank S Hunter would win because of his high experience.
Even if you are far behind in Tier but again, high tier does not determine one's victory. There are many factors that are the key to one's victory.
It was that simple...
'But Tier?'
Squinting, Lux (Raiden Ei) was quite doubtful because her power did not come from [where], but rather from a different world, but this also made her curious...
How did this world define the Electro Archon's power as Tier and Talent?
Raiden Ei's greatest achievement was splitting an island in a single slash, she had lived for over a thousand years, and as an Electro Archon, her power was probably capable of Tier 8 (peak) or more.
With all that, she probably has a Hunter Rank SS+ qualification.
But could the orb know all this?
Lux (Raiden Ei) wondered as she gazed at the large orb with a sizeable diameter of three metres.
That orb was named 'Truth Orbs'. Other than determining a person's Tier and Talent, the orb also served to determine their entire experience and achievements so far.
This could potentially prevent any fraud committed by a Hunter, such as a Hunter claiming to have killed a Dragon when in fact they had not.
With the 'Truth Orbs' too, the Hunters could re-evaluate their Hunter rank and according to Lux (Raiden Ei), this system was very fair.
There was no inside track, everyone had to compete and fight honestly. If you want to be hidden and unknown, then become an Irregular Hunter.
[Ding! A foreign power is trying to check the Host's overall information!]
[Ding! Concealment system activated!]
[Ding! Information concealment successful!]
"..."
"I-is something wrong, Miss?" The receptionist asked nervously.
"No... It's nothing." Lux (Raiden Ei) was somewhat surprised, but became normal in the next second.
The receptionist was relieved and then she approached the 'Truth Orbs' carefully. But when she saw the information listed... Her expression was instantly dumbfounded.
"W-what...?!!!" She cried out in disbelief.
"N-no way... T-this information..." Her voice trembled as she looked at Lux (Raiden Ei) and she gulped. "S-sorry it seems... There might be a mistake, c-can you touch it again Miss?"
"Hm? Of course." Lux (Raiden Ei) was a little confused, but she still placed her hand.
The receptionist looked at the Truth Orbs, only to find that the information was still the same but the orb's light was much brighter than before.
Seeing this, Lux (Raiden Ei) thought that she should channel more of her energy, so he did so...
But who would have expected that the orb immediately emitted uncontrollable purple lightning?
JEDAAARRRR....!!!
"Kyaaa!!!"
The receptionist was blown away. And Lux (Raiden Ei) immediately helped her so that she wouldn't get hurt.
"You're not hurt-"
"Bastard! Is it real?!"
Lux's (Raiden Ei) words were cut off because of someone's exclamation.
Her beautiful pupils shrank as she saw her information being witnessed by many Hunter.
At this moment, accompanied by purple lightning that intimidated and turned the weather cloudy, there appeared a large inscription in the sky.
Yes... Large enough to be witnessed by people in this city.
"That..."
Several people trembled and stared blankly as they read the sentence seen in the air...
Purple lightning roared as the Truth Orbs slowly shone with majesty.
...
[Name: Raiden Shogun]
[Tier: Tier 8 (final)]
[ 1st Talent Rank SSS : Electro Archon ]
[ 2st Talent Rank SSS : Musou no Hitotachi ]
[ 3st Talent Rank SS : Raiden Shogun ]
[ 4st Talent Rank S+ : Musou Isshin ]
[ 5st Talent Rank A+ : Plane of Euthymia ]
[ 6st Talent Rank ??? : Magatsu Mitake Narukami no Mikoto ]
[Overall evaluation: her strength, experience, reputation, and Talent are more than enough to fight a SS+ Rank Hunter! ]
...
That was the information that everyone witnessed.
And no doubt... It made everyone inhale a cold breath.
"R-rank SS+... With six Talents and one of unknown Rank..."
The atmosphere was silent for a while and tried to process what they had seen then-
"SHIT! DID YOU SEE THAT?!"
"OUR CITY GAVE BIRTH TO A SS+ RANK HUNTER!"
"AND WHAT THE HELL IS THAT NUMBER OF TALENTS?! MOST HUNTER TALENTS ARE ONLY 5! BUT HERE IT'S 6 TALENTS!"
"OUR CITY IS BLESSED BY THE GOD OF FORTUNE!"
The atmosphere became frenzied and panicked as they realised that what they were seeing was real.
They had no doubts at all because the Truth Orb would not display false information. It was a tool created by the Gods after all.
More than that, they were excited that a Rank SS+ Hunter could be born in their city.
With the existence of a Rank SS+ Hunter, the combat power of their town all increased as well. So there was no need to worry about a Dungeon Break happening in their town. Even associations and governments wouldn't dare underestimate them anymore!
Although their town already had the support of the Falcon Family thanks to the help of the three Rank S Hunters in this town, it was not enough.
But with the birth of an SS+ rank Hunter in their town, then even the Imperial family in the capital would take notice of them!
