CHAPTER 5

Kaito was hoping to be an A-rank or even an S-rank, but he wasn't even in the known ranking category along with the other three. He looked at their files and found out they were all Japanese, one girl and two boys. One of the boys was older than him, and the other one was the same age as him. The girl was about a year younger than him. He recognized two of them - the girl and the older boy. The girl was the world-renowned best singer and idol in Japan, whereas the boy was the world's renowned genius. They were Ayaka Tanaka and Ryota Takahashi. Kaito wondered if the other one was also world-famous, but he couldn't know who he was. Another question was in Kaito's mind, "Are these three players?"

[The next day: The news]

The reporter said, "Breaking news: There has been a new rank discovered in the ranking system, it's 'Nation level rank'. These ranks are the strongest known and are now above S-rank. And there are 4 individuals, and they are all from Japan. These individuals are: World's best singer Ayaka Tanaka, World genius Ryota Takahashi, World's best programmer Kaito, and World's strongest street fighter Haruto Nakamura."

Meanwhile, in the US, Alex remarked, 'Who would have thought Kaito would rank above me? Maybe he leveled up since the first time we met him.'

Isabella replied, 'Well, he may have leveled up in the dungeon because it seems he had cleared it on his own.'

A gentle but powerful sound was heard, 'Maybe you can introduce me to this Kaito after all; we are the same rank, aren't we?' 'Oh, it's you Ryota, you scared me,' said Isabella. 'If that's the case, all four of you should meet up in the other world after all; we asked him to join our guild, and especially since the guild master approved, he can join in both worlds and our guild. Even though it's just been 2 weeks since it formed in the real world, it is now the top in the world, isn't it?'

The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

'Oh yeah, your guild, you asked me to join too, didn't you? What was its name, The Seraphim guild, wasn't it? But sorry, I won't join. After all, I am planning to make the world's most excellent guild in Japan that even your guild won't stand before it,' said Ryota.

'Well, you will see who will come out on top,' chuckled Isabella as she started gathering mana into her body. Ryota chuckled as well and said, 'Yeah, we'll see, your guild going down, that is.' Alex coughed and interrupted, 'Hey, do not fight here; we know what will happen if you two fight, don't we?'. As he said that, they both turned back in what looked like disappointment.

"Well, meet you when we get our meet together in the other world someday, but I won't hold back if you provoke me again, so be nice till then. See ya," said Ryota as he opened some kind of portal and went in it.

"Ah, this little..." said Isabella, frustrated.

Meanwhile, in the other world, Drakonos was wondering about something, "That human, how did he have the skill of the master, and he seems to be one of the players my master talks about? If that's the case, his world is in great danger, but so is this one. We have to get ready for transportation to the next world as well."

Back in the real world, five days had passed since the revelation of the Nation Level Rankers fight event was going to happen, and a lot of A-rankers as well as S-rankers were gathered there, awaiting the arrival of the four. All of them did arrive after some time. Now the first event to mark the beginning of the new era and to show the power of rankers has begun in Japan.
