Ranking System

[Third Person POV]

"So all of you had made it out..."

Inside Reina's room, the four girls inside Charles's room had escaped.

"He got us good... I didn't expect him to do that..."

Rose was the first person to do it with Charles. Being done in fifteen minutes didn't sit right with her.

"You can't be blamed. Anyone would have done the same."

Hearing Courtney says that she felt a little better. Rose's feelings toward her were down to the bottom during their first meeting.

She had thought that Charles had favored her toward the beginning. Even if it was somewhat true, she found Courtney likable, so her negative thoughts disappeared the more they interacted.

"Should we help her? The last time I saw her, she wasn't holding up to well."

Courtney was the last to exit the room, so she was the last to know her condition. Seeing how she asked, the other three couldn't help but worry for her.

"Don't worry~! Master won't let her die~!"

Nene said that didn't make the situation better. The other three had worried looks on their face. They look at each other, wondering if they should help.

"We could rotate in between them every few hours..."

[Clyde POV]

"Katie! I don't know how to thank you enough!"

After a day of the awakening of my system, Katie, someone from the Specialized Ranker's Agency, offered my sister and me a contract. We were offered 350M dollars a year each, something we would have never imagined.

"You don't have to thank me, I only offered what you were worth."

Hearing what she said, we couldn't help but blush. Mira and I were walking to the agency to get everything sorted out.

From what I have heard about this organization, they mostly hire agents that specialize in a category of our ranking. If they had excelled in that category, this agency would get them. The agency was like a mercenary hirer; we would accept jobs only from the agency that fit our prerequisite.

"Katie... Are you sure we will meet the leader of the group? I can't help but shake, knowing that we could offend him at any moment."

Katie couldn't help but chuckle at Mira's question. I also couldn't help but be nervous about meeting our employer.

"You worry too much. Guy Joyce, the current president, is a kind man. Someone easy to get along with."

Even if Katie tried to calm us down, it didn't work as much as she would like it to. Finally, after talking, we arrived at our destination.

Upon entering the building that the agency owns, we were in the main building. This place was much more than I thought it would be. The receptionist was human resources that guided everyone here, and the request could be seen in a hologram.

"Overwhelmed already? This isn't even the best part."

Katie spoke when we observed the whole place. Not even the best part? My amazement could be seen in the eyes of everyone. I can't wait to see more.

"We can check those facilities later. We still have our boss to meet."

"Ah..."

Looking at the place, I had forgotten for a moment. Mira sighed at my excitement while Katie laughed at it.

Following Katie in this absurdly large building took a while. I don't think I could remember where we entered from.

"This is where our boss is."

Mira and I took a breath before we entered the room. Katie knocked on the door and called for our boss, which had led the door to be opened by itself.

Following Katie's lead, we entered the door once she went in first. Entering the office, we saw a man sitting on his comfortable-looking chair.

Assuming that the person in front of us is "Guy Joyce," the big boss, he had a friendly and less intimidating face than his name.

Black bowl-cut hair and brown eyes, a baby-like face. He seemed like a person, someone similar to our age.

I could see why Katie said someone could quickly get along with him, as his outer look was an approachable, kind person.

"Katie. Are these the two?"

"Yes. I recruited them for the initiate price we agreed on."

Guy observed us as he continued to talk with Katie. Like his outer appearance, his voice and tone were calm.

"Mira and Clyde. How is your current impression of our place?"

Our impression? It didn't take me long to think of something when asked.

"This place is fantastic. The people were happily getting along doing their jobs together, and the receptionist seemed like they put a lot of effort into it."

Guy and Katie smiled brightly and nodded at my answer.

"Then let's get to the central business. Before you're assigned to any jobs our organization offers, you will be doing a training exercise."

It was understandable with how little experience we have with fighting. Mira had a serious expression and nodded at our boss's answer.

"You have heard of Brave Academy. What's your opinion on joining that school? It would help in your resume."

Mira's eyes widen at that thought. I didn't know much about the academy, but why was Mira so shocked about it?

"Clyde and I would like to join."

Before I could ask about it, Mira had already made a choice. They looked at me, giving me a wry smile, wondering what the academy was about.

"Then your choice has been decided. I have a resident at the academy's island. You both could use it for your stay."

"Are you sure about that?"

Katie's eyes widened in surprise. What's so surprising about that? Our boss here was only offering us a place to stay.

"I barely leave this place. Leaving my place in the dust would be a waste of space."

Guy explained everything he needed us to know for the remainder of our time. It was great talking to him.

"I would like to continue talking but being a boss of an organization doesn't allow me to. Katie will see you on your way out."

All three of us bid him farewell as we left the room. This was the start of a brand new thing.
