Mythical S Tier

It took Ishaan a while to come to terms with that fact

'A six-year-old has the same influence as me ... '

It was a big hit to Ishaan's ego

Suddenly, the once delicious coffee tasted so bitter, and his expression turned to a grimace.

Both Ignatius and Sebastian knew of Ishaan's personality, and they knew what Ishaan was feeling right now.

To an extent, Ignatius could literally feel what other people were feeling, it's something related to his World Resonance, so he wryly smiled.

'This kid is certainly amusing, and he thought he was ahead of Arno, huh?'

Ignatius patiently waited for Ishaan to get his emotions back under control.

When he sensed that he calmed down he asked

"What do you think we should do now, Ishaan?"

Ishaan pushed all the unimportant thoughts away and started thinking out loud.

Despite his self-centered nature, he still prioritizes work and larger responsibilities, demonstrating a surprising sense of consideration for others.

"Hmm, first, we need to know the real extent of Leus' powers so we can properly value him."

He sighed and continued

"But of course, Arno will not let us have it that easy"

Ignatius nodded and asked

"So, what do you suggest?"

Ishaan scratched his chin in thought

"Hmm, we should at least make an estimation based on the information we have"

Ishaan continued thinking out loud

"First, he was in the Third Realm two years ago. During that time, he was capable of casting magic and as well use the sword.

Since Arno himself taught him, we should be certain that he's a magic-oriented individual.

Second, he's capable of defeating the lowest Tier of Elites."

Ishaan took a sip of the bitter coffee and continued

"That leaves us with two possibilities

1- Leus has evolved to become an Elite Mage sometime during the last two years

2- Leus is ....."

When Ishaan realized what he was about to say out loud he stopped himself

He looked at Ignatius in disbelief

"That can't be it, right?"

But before Ignatius could reply Ishaan added

" .... Is it really possible?"

Ignatius calmly replied

"If going to the Capital is an option, then the possibility exists. But I still think it's unlikely."

Ishaan calmed down a bit after he heard that

'Unlikely ... Phew'

Still, the other possibility was outstanding as well

Ishaan sighed, he sighed a lot today

"So it's either he's an Elite Mage at the age of six or a Mythical S Tier Mage ....'

Ignatius looked at his trusted friend and asked

"What do you think about this matter, Sebas?"

Sebas replied with his deep voice

"Based on the provided information, I can tell that the descendant Leus is either a Marvelous individual or a Legendary one.

The possibility is indeed low, but just by forcing us to put that possibility on the table he already made a name for himself.

Not only The Mythical S Tier has never been seen before, but It also was never even considered before.

I'd also like to point out something that has not been discussed until now, his affinity, I've never heard of a purple and black affinity before.

Perhaps, he's destined for greatness since the day he's born."

Ignatius then asked him in a serious tone

"Do you believe that he deserves to be a Real Inferno?"

Sebastian replied confidently

"I do believe so."

Ignatius looked back at Ishaan

"What do you think Ishaan?"

Ishaan wasn't a moron, by now, he had a very well-rounded view of the situation, so he chose his words carefully

"I agree with Sebastian. Although I think he's overestimating Leus a bit"

He bitterly added

"I believe that any person Arno deems fit to go to the Capital is worthy of being a Real Inferno."

Ignatius nodded

"Then we are all in agreement. Sebas, call Fia"

Sebas walked to the door, right beside it there was a button panel, just like the elevator's panel but its design was much more sophisticated.

He pressed a couple of buttons and just waited beside the door.

About two minutes later, the door knocked and Sebas opened it.

Through the doorway stepped a young woman with red hair, appearing quite youthful.

She wore a mini dress with the hemline slightly above her knees, reaching the middle of her thighs. Beneath the dress, she had black leggings to cover her bare skin, and a black satin belt was tied around her waist.

In summary, her overall appearance exuded a voluptuous allure.

Fia greeted Sebastian then confidently made her way to Ignatius' desk and took a seat opposite Ishaan's.

"You called me, Papa"

Ignatius nodded

Sebas quickly came beside Fia and asked

"What would you like to drink, Young Miss?"

"Icy Lemonade"

Sebas went to make the drink, then Ignatius looked at Fia and began talking

"Fia, we need your service"

"At your disposal, Papa"

Ignatius pushed the file in front of him to Fia.

Leus' image hovered again on top of the file, she only glanced at it for less than a second then looked at Ignatius again.

"Leus Inferno, The Purple Saint, the Library's Emblem Holder, and the only Warrior-Mage in the Duchy. Is it finally time to acquire him?"

Ignatius was genuinely impressed by her dedication

'Certainly, no one can lead the Talent Acquisition and Public Relations department better than Fia.'

With a smile, Ignatius replied

"It is, but sadly, things aren't as smooth as you'd expect"

She tilted her head a bit and side glanced at Ishaan.

Ishaan elaborated and explained the situation to her, eventually saying

"In short, Arno is taking him to the Capital."

Fia's expression became very serious

"Papa, we need to acquire him. There's a possibility that he's a Tier S Mage."

"I concur, Fia, use whatever means necessary to convince him.

As for Arno, just leave him to me"

Fia confidently smirked

"Consider it done, Papa. The next time I come here, Leus will be with me"

"I never expect any less from you"

She got up and turned around, but before she left she asked

"Where's my drink?"

Sebas quickly replied

"It's almost ready, one second"

She crossed her arms and waited, and about 15 seconds later, Sebas gave her a fancy glass with a red straw in it.

"Nicely done, thanks Mister"

She took the glass with her and left the room with the straw in her mouth.

After she left, Ishaan sat in awkward silence for a bit.

For some reason he couldn't exactly understand, he felt that his ego had been hit again

"I guess there's nothing left for me to do ..."

Ignatius wryly smiled

"The information you brought helped us a lot, thank you"

Ishaan simply nodded then quickly got up and left, leaving only Sebastian and Ignatius in the room.

Ignatius looked at Sebas and said

"The difference between them is huge, isn't it?"

"Ishaan simply overestimates his intelligence"

"Well, Fia is honestly too impressive. It's not fair to compare Ishaan to her"

"I believe this incident will help Ishaan grow. He will realize how... hmm, unimpressive? he is.

Regardless, as a new generation of talents arises, he will work hard on himself.

Luckily, power does not need intelligence"

Upon hearing that, Ignatius sighed

"You're right, Sebas ... if intelligence equaled power then Arno would've become a Royal decades ago."

The room's atmosphere became heavy.

Meanwhile a couple of floors below them,

Fia's eyes flared with determination and resolve

'All Talents must be acquired'

She entered the floor she leads

(The Department of Talent Acquisition and Public Relations)

And began ordering everyone around

"You, bring me the files of Blaze Inferno and his family"

"You, bring me everything we have about Leus Inferno"

"And you, bring me a big bottle of Icy Lemonade"

She took a seat behind her desk and waited

'Soon, Leus will be ours.'
