’Holy cr*p! These elemental staffs are amazing! Hohoh, and what cool names... Sigrun, huh? And the other one’s called Dagr... not bad at all!’
Shye couldn’t help but compliment the effects of his new elemental staff and their names.
’If Meido had named these, they’d probably be called something like Blasty and Frosty, or something close to such names...’
Eager to test out his new combat capabilities, Shye continued grinding quests for the fifth month, finally ranking up to Adamantite.

Meanwhile, in another Death Zone, a colossal twenty-meter-tall monster crashed to the ground with a resounding thud.
"N-Nice work, Shirley." Kiin complimented with a hint of disbelief.
Moreover, the division now ranked 32nd overall in the entire region.
With this, their party easily garnered attention from everyone in the guild, including the adamantite division leader, Karsa Bloodwinter.
Karsa was the tenth-ranked adamantite in all of Valenzia and was offered a titled adventurer position due to her talents.
However, she didn’t want to be constrained by responsibilities at just thirty years old, convinced that with a few more years of dedicated effort, she could surpass the top-ranked adventurer in the region.
As a result of her fiery drive, her division outperformed all others in Raven’s Blade, ranking first in the guild and ninth in the entire region.
Thanks to the dedicated efforts of the guild’s passionate and driven division leaders, Raven’s Blade has surged to fifth place, largely due to the recent influx of contributions from Shye’s division.
Who was the center of such changes?
Why, the two parties under Shye’s tutelage, of course!
They were even summoned to Soaring Raven’s office, where the guild master thanked them for their hard work while self-indulgently praising his own brilliant decision from two years ago.
But of course, Karsa Bloodwinter wasn’t pleased with such developments.
She had long since eyed Shye due to his allegedly insane talents.
Now that she had witnessed what she perceived as the "full extent" of his abilities during his inauguration ceremony—the battle against an Anubis—Karsa felt confident that she could defeat Shye, at least for the time being.
This was her final opportunity to suppress the young hero and establish herself as "the one who defeated Shye Crowley," knowing that it would be impossible to stop his rise completely.
However, if she could defeat Shye before he reached his peak, she might gain significant fame in other regions and enjoy various benefits associated with overcoming the young hero.
Achieving victory in a duel against Shye, while no one else could, would be even more advantageous.
Thus, she planned to challenge the young man in a duel, and of course, she planned to do it in front of a crowd.
If she succeeded, then her rise to the top would be inevitable.
Even if it was just for a brief period and she had to play second fiddle to Shye for the rest of her life, she would be content.
After all, the young man’s growth was truly exceptional, and even she didn’t dare claim to be more talented than him.
