The Next Day.
--- Tendo Civil Security Agency –-
Kisara: Hehe…. SLURP......…Hehe...…GULP...
Tendo Kisara was currently sitting on her president chair while looking at her phone with silly smile on her face.
Every second or two, droll came out of her mouth which she hurriedly gulped down before it appeared.
She was so focused on her phone that she even disregarded Primis and Asaka who were sitting across her for quite some time.
[Are you not going do anything?]
Sighing, Primis snatched the phone Kisara hand. This also took her out of her stupor.
Kisara: Hey! Return it!
Though because of that she became frantic and tried to take it back by jumping over her desk.
BANG!!
Too bad that Primis moved out of the way, and she fell face first on the floor.
Kisara: Ow…
Raising herself she started to rub her now red nose and glared at Primis.
Kisara: Don't you know that its rude to take a lady's cellphone without her permission!
Primis: Don't you know that it's rude to ignore the people who were sitting in front of you for more than two hours.
Kisara: ......…
This made Kisara shut her mouth as she turned her head to look at the clock on the wall. And just like Primis said, she had been in daze and was looking at her phone for more than 2 hours without pause.
Hiding herself of embarrassment, she gave fake cough and replied.
Kisara: Ahem...It can't be helped you know. Just two days ago, I was thinking of how to run the business and was short on money. And now in a single day, I become a Billionaire. So, I was just confirming whether it's really true or am I dreaming.
True. Kisara had been looking at her balance all this time. It's clearly showing that she had 3.1 billion Yen in her account. Just a day before she barely had few hundred yen and now this. Anyone would think that they were in some sort of dream.
Primis: I understand. But its time to get down to business. So, shall we?
Hearing this, Kisara also decided to get serious.
Standing up, she returned her seat while Primis returned her phone.
Kisara: Before that, let me transfer your share of money to you. Since you have done most of the work, you will take 3.09 billion while I will keep the remaining 1 million. What do you think?
[Oh. Not bad. She really didn't let the money cloud her judgement and only take what she deserves.]
'Primis: Yeah.'
It was easily for Primis to tell that Tendo Kisara was really being sincere and didn't have any other intention.
Primis: No Need for that. Just transfer 1 billion to me, another billion is yours and keep the remaining for company.
Kisara: ............…
A dumbfounded expression appeared on Kisara face hearing that.
She started to wonder whether her ears were playing tricks with her.
Kisara: Sorry...…Can you repeat?
Primis: No.
Kisara: .........…
Silence appeared in the room as both parties kept on looking at each other.
Some time later, a shouted resounded in the room.
Kisara: ARE YOU SERIOUS!!!
The shout was so loud that let alone other floors, even the people who were passing by the building also heard it.
Primis: So, you really did hear the first time.
Kisara: That's not the point right now. It's Billion Yen!
Primis: And...
Kisara: Just how could you throw it away like this!
Primis: It's not throwing away. Since we both are in this, I decided that we will split the money in three parts. You and I will take 33% each while the remaining 34% will go to the Company's account.
Kisara: But that's----
Primis: It's decided. Now sit down.
When Primis said in stern tone, Kisara flinched and sat back on her chair. Lowering her head, she muttered.
Kisara: ...Thank you.
Nodding his head, Primis spoke.
Primis: In this month, spend at least half of the billion for yourself and another half billion for the company.
Kisara: Wait what! Where would I spend that much money!?
Primis: None of my concern. Whether use it on food, clothes, cars, or anything else. I don't care. By the end of this month, both yours and company's account should have equal to or less than the current balance.
Kisara: Now you are being unreasonable!
Primis: I know. And I also know that you won't spent more than 1 million thinking that's the only you deserve, and rest of the money is still mine.
Kisara: That's......
Kisara fell silent since that's exactly what she was thinking. In her mind, she had decided to think that Primis just wanted her to keep his money for the time being. This will prevent her from spending 'his' money.
Primis: In case you won't do that then I will leave your corporation.
Kisara: Ok. Ok. I understand! *sigh* I will see how I should spend them.
Primis: Good.
Sighing again, Kisara face Primis with serious expression.
Kisara: Just like you said, those companies have been bombarding me with calls since the last night. In case, I didn't shut down my phone then I won't have gotten a good rest.
Primis: They are impatient.
Kisara: Of course, they are. We have taken hundreds of million from them.
Primis: We didn't.
Kisara: We didn't?
Primis: It's true that we have taken 257 requests, however the number of companies were more than 200. If you do a calculation, then we have only taken the average of 15 million from each of them. And for multi-millionaire companies, it was just a small portion of their money.
Kisara: Now that I think about it, you're right. Even the smaller-scale companies have the liquid assets of 800-900 million yen. Hence, giving 15 million won't affect them much.
Primis: Let me guess. They want to meet with you and discuss something, right?
Kisara: Yes. When I picked up their call in the morning, they said exactly that. But I told them I to call later.
Primis: I see. Now when their call come, ask them if they have any more requests. If yes, then tell them to Submit the request and pay x10 the amounts outright like before. If no, then tell them there is no point of meeting.
Kisara: .........You and I both know that they want to talk about what happen yesterday.
Primis: Yes. And I also know that they can't do anything to us since we already sent the copy of our contract with them to IISO.
Kisara: That's true. So, right now they can only sit and talk in 'civilized' manner.
Primis: Ignore their invitation since they will try to use many ways in order to take back the money.
Kisara: Alright, I will do so.
Primis: As for the next thing...…
Pausing Primis started patting Asaka head who narrowed her eyes started enjoying it and spoke.
Primis: Our IP rank has been raised to 7,000.
Kisara: .........…
Primis: .........…
Asaka: .........…
Kisara: .........…
Primis: .........…
Asaka: .........…
Kisara: .........…
Primis: .........…
Asaka: .........…
Kisara: .........…
Primis: .........…
Asaka: .........…
Kisara: WHAT DID YOU SAY!!!
Another shout resounded in the room.
TAP!!
TAP!!
TAP!!
TAP!!
...
…
She then hurriedly took out her laptop and started checking.
Soon her movements stopped as Kisara looked at the screen with wide eyes.
Kisara: ...…No way............Your IP rank really is 7,000 now.
While Kisara was still stunned, Asaka crossed her arms in front of chest and looked proudly. Kisara shock was not that surprising since yesterday Primis IP rank was 774,487 and now it's 7,000.
He skipped over 767,487 ranks in one go. It's completely unheard of.
One should know that at the start of Plot, Satomi Rentaro IP rank was 123,452. It was raised to 1,000 only when he defeated that Masked Man Hiruko Kagetane whose rank was 134.
Not only that, Satomi Rentaro also almost died many times during that. Compared to that, what Primis did was just a walk in a park.
Kisara: You said you would be able to enter the ranks of Thousands and Hundreds in the next two months. However, you accomplished that in one day............…I really have no words.
Shrugging his shoulders, he replied.
Primis: Can't be helped. I never expected that increasing one's IP rank is this easy.
Hearing this, Kisara lips started to twitch.
'Kisara: Like hell it is! Just bring me one freak like you who can complete over 200 requests in just a mere day.'
Kisara: *sigh* What do we do now? Your name has already spread throughout the World for accomplishing impossible. I am sure that no other company is willing to let us take their request if we charge them x10.
Primis: Doesn't matter. One's IP rank is not measured by how many requests they completed but how many Gastreas they killed. I just need to go to Outer Area to kill them.
'Primis: Or the Unexplored Territory since it has several Stage IV Gastreas. Killing them will increase my Rank even faster.'
Kisara: That's dangerous.
Primis: I will handle.
Knowing she can't change Primis mind, she murmured.
Kisara: ......…Please be careful when you go there.
Hearing her worried voice, Primis paused for a second and replied.
Primis: I will.
With this, Primis and Asaka left.

Two months later.
--- Unexplored Territory ---
SLASH!!
DING!!
SWISH!!
SHIN!!!
DING!!
...
…
BAM!!
Asaka: Kuh!!
Taking some steps back, Asaka clutched her stomach in pain while looking at her teacher who didn't continue with follow-up attack.
No matter from which angle or side she attacked. Scáthach ward it off with hardly any efforts and hit at her weakness.
As Asaka started to think of next strategy, Scáthach spoke.
Scáthach: You spend too much time on thinking Asaka. Do you really think your opponent will give you such luxury?
Hearing this, Asaka grabbed the handle of her sword tightly and attacked.
Scáthach: Charging without a plan is also a foolish thing.
SLASH!!
Sidestepping, she dodged Asaka attack.
Scáthach: You have many opportunities to think of your next move.
DANG!!!
Pushing her back again, she continued.
Scáthach: Liking when we are exchanging blows with each other OR the time interval between when I push you and you landed.
Remaining standing on her spot, Asaka listened her teacher words carefully.
Scáthach: In a life and death fight, every second counts. And strategizing ahead of time can change the entire course of battle.
With this they continued fighting again as Scáthach kept on pointing out Asaka flaws from time to time.
Some distance away from them, Primis and Ophis could be seen sitting on a rock while looking at the rising sun in the Horizon.
It would have been an attractive moment if only they were not surrounded by countless corpses of Gastreas.
Ophis: It's time for the Protagonist to come out of his training and become Promoter.
Primis: Yeah, we should also return since Kisara kept on calling me 10-20 times a day asking when I will return.
Ophis: *chuckle* Well, when you tell her that you will go to Unexplored area to raise your rank, she never expected that you will go right away.
Yes. After that talk with Kisara, Primis left the Tokyo Area and kept on venturing in the Unexplored Area for the last two months. He also received Kisara call four to five times asking if he and Asaka was fine.
She also told him the things that were happening after his leave and in a simpler word, the condition of Tokyo Area was getting worse.
Primis: From her tone, it's easy to tell that she also under a lot of pressure.
Next, he and Ophis stood up and walked over to Asaka and Scáthach.
It's time to meet the remaining two Main Characters of this world.
