It had been 3 days since the fight against Golfak or rather the farcical show. During these three days, Alex and Gracier took quest after quest to Level up in preparation for the incoming Test. Currently, Alex was Level 40 while his sister was Level 28.
In the afternoon on this day, the figures of the siblings could be seen in the meeting room located on the 2nd floor of the guild.
It was the first time both had set foot in this room. The room was pretty big with a big table with lots of chairs around in the middle of the room.
Other than Alex and Gracier, the figures of 6 other adventurers could be seen in the meeting room. A total of 7 people, including the two.
These were the people taking the Rank up test to rank D.
Also, among them, the figure of Golfak could be seen, his original plan of spreading his name had been carried out in the opposite meaning after the farce with Alex, he lost miserably while also losing his Magic sword on top of it.
The moment their eyes met, as Alex walked into the meeting room with his sister, if you observed Golfak's expression he quickly glanced away while gritting his teeth, you could understand his feelings about Alex.
Alex was not expecting to see him here either after he lost his Magic sword, however, he still came and Alex understood why he did after looking at the sword hanging at Golfak's waist, surprisingly it was another Magic sword.
'This guy? Does he have a collection of Magic swords? Or it is just that he is rich? Either way this Magic sword had the same characteristics as his former one just that the quality is lower. He must like strengthening type Magic sword.' Alex inwardly thought while stared at the other familiar face in the meeting room, it was Eleonora.
As the two lock eyes, Eleonora smiled while winking at him and Gracier, Gracier put on her most dazzling smile and greeted Eleonora.
''Evening Big sister Eleonora. We haven't seen each other it has been a while. I was expecting to acc-, I mean encounter you to say thank you again for helping me back then.''
〖Sigh! Your sister was planning to say accidentally but stopped midway.〗Silveria said.
Alex only smiles not giving any reply.
Meanwhile, Eleonora's smile turned stiff when she almost heard Gracier says accidentally again. Doing her best to maintain her smile, she waved her hand to indicate that there was no need for another thank.
While the two were talking Alex was remembering his conversation with Leena yesterday.
Leena had called out as he finished selling the monster's materials.
'Alex, the rank up Test will start tomorrow. They will be a meeting tomorrow afternoon. Your presence is required, Gracier should also participate in the rank up Test and more importantly because you will be going into the Zilya mountain where her village was previously located at.' Leena announced.
It should be noted that Gracier was currently E Rank however thanks Leena pulling some strings it became possible for her to take the rank-up Test.
'Understood. We will be there.' Alex responded before adding after sighing.
'She can now take revenge against those monsters. Responsible for her village demise.'
'That's true however you should watch over her, to not let her act recklessly. It's good to take revenge but it's dangerous when you are blinded by it.' Leena advised.
'I will, I promise, she's my sister after all I will not let any harm befall her.'
'I know. It's just to be sure.' Leena replied with a smile, she learned that Alex had taken Gracier as his real sister sharing his family name. She was happy with the news.
While recalling such a conversation, Alex turned his eyes to the other people who were also taking the rank up test.
Apart from him, Gracier there was Eleonora.
Needless to say, there was Golfak, the fourth individual in the room.
Nevertheless, even if he disgraced himself in that event the other day and was a fool who acts without doing proper checking of the person he was going to challenge, he had a magic sword (a New one). His skill aside, since he had a magic sword, he liked to fight by pushing forward with raw power.
The fifth person was a man in his early twenties. This man was wearing a robe on his body, he held a cane in his hand. This man was a typical mage and had a plain face. As Alex was looking around, the man smiled at him when their eyes met before closing his eyes to rest.
Moving on the sixth person: It was a male Swordsman who had a sharp gaze. His equipment was overwhelmingly inferior when compared to Golfak's Magic sword, it was a common long sword that could be bought in the city, However, Alex felt that his ability as a Swordsman was better than Golfak. His age was similar to Golfak's, probably in his early twenties, their Level was also the same.
As for the last person taking this rank up Test, it was a woman. She was sitting on a chair eyes closed. If anything, it could be said that she was a little beauty. What should be mentioned specially about her were her ears. She had ears with a much sharper point compared with ordinary humans, which showed that the woman was an elf. Seeing the large bow placed on the table in front of her, she was probably an archer. She appeared to be in her late teens, however, considered how long-lived her race was, she may be 50 years old while looking like she was in her late teens from the human standard.
Silence hangs inside the meeting room as nobody was talking, they were waiting for one of the responsible to show up. Alex and Gracier both sat down and closed their eyes waiting patiently.
Suddenly, Golfak couldn't take it anymore so he said. "How long does the guild plan to let us wait for?"
''You can go back if it bothers you to wait. Just shut it, we are resting here.'' Eleonora chided Golfak.
The others seemed to share the same thought. Alex did not bother opening his eyes. Gracier on the other side was looking at Golfak with naked disdain.
'To think you can't even patiently wait 20 minutes without making a ruckus.' Gracier murmured.
Meanwhile, Golfak's face darkened when Eleonora chided him.
''How dare you? Do you know who am I?"
''My servant,'' Eleonora said with her eyes still closed.
The others except for Alex, the second Swordsman and the Elf burst into laughter.
''You-"
Being called servant, blood rushed to Golfak's head and he pointed his trembling finger at Eleonora who wasn't even looking his way.
''Hmmph! Just wait and you'll see.'' Golfak said after glaring at Eleonora.
Suddenly, a voice sounded amidst Golfak's noisy voices.
Aside from Alex, Gracier, Eleonora, who had felt a person coming towards the meeting room, the others reflectively turned their eyes to the voice.
A man in his mid-forties could be seen. However, with his trained body, it would be fair to say he was comparable to an active adventurer.
"Evening young un's, I will begin the explanation of the rank up Test. Ready to listen?" The man spoke with a firm and powerful voice.
After observing the man, Alex had a strong sense of déjà vu.
'I should have seen his face somewhere. If I'm not mistaken. Ahhh, I remember now, it was during the dispute with the simpletons (Diaz and his men).' Alex thought.
That was right, this person was present on that day, he was chatting with Leena when Alex was fighting, Alex remembers him because the man would listen to Leena's words before staring intensely at him afterward as if it was to confirm what Leena said. Conrad was his name.
While remembering these past events, Alex turned towards Golfak who was still trying to pick a fight with Eleonora who kept ignoring him as if he doesn't even exist.
'This man has a lot of time to waste. Well, he is also suffering from a symptom-' While Alex was thinking this, Silveria who had not talked since the moment Alex and Gracier came in finally spoke. It seemed that she was interested in what Alex was planning to say.
〖What syndrome?〗
Smiling Alex answered, 'I call it the syndrome of the Attention Seeker.'
〖It suit him well.〗Silveria said.
Alex couldn't only smile, it was just a name he came up with. Shaking his head, he decided to wait for the man who just entered to begin explaining how things should proceed. Gracier also decided to patiently wait beside her brother.

A/N: Alex has used his previous unused SP and the new he gained after becoming Level 40. Remember, you gain 10 SP every ten Levels.
Gracier finally used her 10 SP she was preserving.
P.S: Do not forget that usually, you will need 1 SP to upgrade your skill from Level 1 until Level 5, however starting from the Master Level (Level 5) you'll need 2 SP instead of 1 SP. Let say you your skill: A is currently at Level 5 and you want to upgrade to max (Lv 10) you'll spend 10 SP to be to upgrade to max Lv.
Sometimes after upgrading a skill to the Max level it can evolve into a new skill.
e.i: Alex's previous skill Blink now Accel.
