Requiem Of A Failed Hero

Chapter 113 Re-Evaluation (1)

Just as Raith agreed he reached the association headquarters that night, no matter how many times he came, this place was just too amazing, although not as amazing as the building structure of the Rain Guild.

Raith was taken to a different place from the last time he was evaluated.

The elevator stopped at the highest floor of the building and even the Chairman and several other directors were waiting for him.

The entire fate of Rain Guild and the country as a whole depended on this single moment, so much burden for a man. But Raith didn't care.

He just truly wanted to help Mok Jae-Hwa get out of the situation he is and get a lot of money.

He also wishes that what happened before will happen again, maybe he will gain so much cosmic energy that his body will have to modify again.

"Please come in..." An agent guided Raith just as he and Min-ho stepped out of the elevator. Raith could see the tensed faces of the directors that stood behind the association chairman.

"Thank you for this Hunter Raith." He said and guided Raith into a chamber.

It was far larger than the one Raith entered and there was a circular platform right in the middle.

Raith took a look around the white room, which was almost empty if not for the white platform.

"I don't see any crystal?"

"Ah, the crystal has been molded into a measuring scale." The chairman responded to his curiosity pointing to the platform.

'Shit...' For a fact, he won't be able to absorb any cosmic energy this time around. Raith looked at the platform a second time, it was just a little higher than the ground and from his point of view, there was nothing special about it.

Chairman Mok Jun-Seo seeing the confusion on Raith's face began to explain to him, "This entire room is a measuring device. The platform you see there is the point of contact. This is what we use to measure special-ranked hunters. Hunters that weren't able to have a proper result from being measured by the crystal.

Agent Jong-Su told me what happened on the day of your measurement. The crystal failed and you were issued a temporary license of rank F. But the association has been busy so you were not called for a re-evaluation."

"Yes..." Raith responded, glancing at the room, he was marveling.

"I want to believe that even from back then your rank surpassed that of an S rank that was probably why the crystal failed."

Raith nodded in agreement, '...I wish I can tell them that I absorbed all the cosmic energy in the crystal.'

"And so...hunter Raith, I would like you to stand on that platform."

Raith obediently walked to the platform and looked at Chairman Mok Jun-Seo in hopes of what to do next.

"What are your abilities? You just need to do what you do best... Jae-Hwa told me you are a summoner."

'...I guess I should just do it...I don't want to freak people out though.' Raith looked down and looked at him, "Is it okay if other people excuse us."

"Uh?" One of the directors was about to complain but Raith interrupted.

"I'm doing this for their sake." He said to Chairman Mok Jun-Seo who after looking at him turned to the directors. Without being told what next they all vacated the room, agent Jong-Su was about to leave but Raith's voice stopped him.

"You can stay." He said.

"Thank you, sir." Agent Jong-Su humbly stood at one corner and watch Raith activate his ability.

"Come..."

Shhhhhhhhh...

Black smoke covered the entire floor of the room, even before the smoke began to materialize, obscure gazes filled the darkness, the room's bright atmosphere suddenly became dark and the led lights that were ceilings themselves began to shake.

Mok Jun-Seo trembled with fear as they rise from the darkness that filled the lower level of the floor. His hands and shoulders were shaking tremendously and no matter how he even tried to hold himself together, he just could resist the domineering presence of darkness, it was worse for Agent Jong-Su who was already on his knees and his eyes tightly closed because every time he stared, he was horrified, the drops of his sweat had already formed a little pool on the ground and his face was extremely pale.

The dark soldiers filled the whole room, with Fenrir towering over all of them, although it had to lower its head so the ceiling won't be shattered. Another thing to note was that there were now different varieties of the dark armies, and these varieties were monster giant centipedes, orcs, and goblins but different variations of orcs from the ones that Raith had before.

Amidst all of them stood a knight seven foot tall, with his back cape of darkness ceaselessly dancing even as there was no wind in the room. This knight was a Deja Vu itself because it looked very much like Briceus, Raith had used his imagination of Briceus to create a new dark body.

The knight had a lithe stature and was standing behind Raith with arms behind his back, Kortopi, and Cheche.

"Hey!!" A certain individual suddenly stormed out of the elevator. "I hear my guild president is being put held hostage! And the association involved him in some shit!" He shouted as he stepped out. But the scenery that he saw put an abrupt stop to his aggression, everyone, every single person in the waiting lobby had passed out. Even, his heart was beating heavily.

'How strong is this person to make me Choi Chong-Yol cower in fear...'

He looked toward the room where all this ominous energy was coming from even though he wanted to go there so badly, his head suddenly became too heavy to move.

Fear had permeated every bit of his muscle.

beeeppp beeepppp beeeeeppp

The whole white room suddenly became red and began to make loud warning noises.

Raith was confused, he didn't know what to do with all the noise but he stayed still regardless.

After a while, the redness of the room calmed down and everything became white again. Raith immediately dismissed all of them and looked at the Chairman with inquisitive eyes.

"Is that all?"
