Me: I'm cutting the honourifics. Its an english story. This chapter is basically a bundle of foreshadowing. I will not give away the speakers this chapter, try to guess who they are.
"Any hopefuls amongst the B- and C- rankers that came for the rank up?"
"There was one B-rank that ranked up... What was his name... ... ... Clark Williamson."
"Ah, other than him? I already know him."
"Nobody."
"People are too reliant on level these days. Nobody that has the slightest semblance of resourcefulness..."
"How about the toolbox? He's A-rank, and level one."
"Yeah... He won't cut it. He's staying level one for some undisclosed reasons. It seems to me as if he's taking this world lightly..."
==============================================================================
"If we do this job correctly, we're set for life."
"Are you sure? He's an A-ranker..."
"Man up! He's only level one!"

"Stop with the cliche lines. The author will get flamed."
"You stop breaking the fourth wall... The author will get flamed even more..."
"Getting back to business... Disband your group. You are a hinderance to my master's plans."
"Who do you think you are?"
"My name is Alfred Jones, but you can call me the toolbox."
==============================================================================
"I. Made. Ssssome. Ssstringsss. For. You."
"Stop talking like that... You are a spider, not a snake."
"I felt like it okay!"
"I need you to do something for me..."

Me: All dialogues are alternating between two people. There are 8 total. For the third dialogue, before you guess, the next chapter's name is "Fake Toolbox". Best of luck...
