Bab 526: Grade

"And you're saying as you headed to destroy the objective of the mission, you were confronted with a hostile Martial Squire?"

"Yes, commissioner," Rui replied. "I straightforwardly headed for the target of the mission because I wanted to get it over with, but unfortunately the Martial Squire landed in front of me as I dashed towards it, blocking my path. At that point, it had become evidently clear to me that I would not be able to get away with a fight."

"I see. And prior to your victory over your opponent, your client canceled the mission at some point in the middle of the combat."

"Yes." Rui nodded.

"I see." The man before him nodded simply. "It is all a rather unfortunate turn of events, but you made the best of them. Not only did you defeat your very first Martial Squire opponent in combat, but you also brought his body back in a remarkable condition. Congratulations, Squire Quarrier, it appears your tendency to overachieve has persisted."
