One month had passed since Shye and Siegfried completed their first (S-) ranked quest together.
Currently, they were on their way back to the guild to submit their quest requirements and complete their third (S-) ranked quest.
"Hey, Crowley."
"Yeah?"
"I just noticed that (S-) ranked monsters aren't that hard to beat anymore."
"Hmm…I see…"
Upon hearing his close friend's words, Shye instantly understood what Siegfried was implying.
After all, he too noticed that ever since Siegfried got used to the (S-) ranked creature's speed, power, and cunning, the hunts had become rather…boring.
Well, at least for Siegfried, all he had to do was run around, wait for Shye to severely wound the creature, and then contribute whatever small amount of damage he could while waiting for Shye to deliver the finishing blow.
It was a reliable tactic.
However, it was honestly boring, and Siegfried didn't feel that he was growing anymore.
