Chapter 232: I Want Him
"Wait, don't tell me. Is he going to be the sixth? There's no way, right? He can't possibly be undefined."
The man who spoke slid down the wall that he was leaning against as he watched the showing with wide, unblinking eyes. He didn't want to miss a moment of what he was seeing. This is the sort of thing that you tell your grandchildren in years to come and he was realizing how fortunate he was to be seeing it!
"Is he really going to be a SOVERIGN? I mean, that's not possible, right? I can swear he was struggling against disaster classes just a few months ago. What sort of absurd growth rate is this?"
No one could answer his question, and they just had to keep their eyes glued to the screen to keep watching. They knew that from the display that Mark was giving right now, there was a very high chance that they were witnessing the birth of the sixth SOVEREIGN.
…
"Move, girl."
Up in the examiner's booth, Fiona had been watching the fight with a small smile on her face as she saw Mark's power on full display. She knew that this was only going to boost the standing of her own guild, so she couldn't help but be excited, but she blinked in surprise as she heard someone talking from behind her.
When she heard the person call her a 'girl', she frowned in anger, and she was about to turn around and command the person to jump off the edge of the railing.
But her words died in her throat as she came face to face with a literal giant. Fiona looked up, and she swallowed heavily as she faced off against the second-strongest SOVEREIGN in the American Federation, Gunter. Fiona knew that Gunter had no right to call her a little girl. If it was anyone else, Fiona would have taken control of their mind immediately.
But there was nothing that Fiona could do against someone like this!
Just the aura he was releasing was enough to make Fiona realize that she was way out of her depth here! Gunter could fold her like paper and throw her across this room, and no one would even bat an eye at him since he was just that powerful!
Gunter was not like Luna at all. Fiona could have a feud with Luna because Fiona knew that Luna was not someone who would immediately resort to violence at the slightest show of disrespect. But Gunter was different. Gunter would not hold back from punching her in the face if she said anything except what he wanted to hear.
There was once an incident where Gunter backhanded a disrespectful journalist in the face because of the sort of questions that she had been asking. That journalist was pulverized to paste and she died on the spot! But other than a few sanctions, a few fees, and a month of house arrest, Ghunter went scot-free. He was just that influential.
Fiona slowly took a few steps to her side while giving Gunter a short greeting out of respect, and Gunter only looked at her for a few more seconds before he turned away to look at the screen in front of him.
Gunter's eyes narrowed as he took in the sight of the large crater that Mark formed from his punch. This was impressive. Gunter has had his eyes on Mark for a while now. At first, when Gunter heard about Mark, he disregarded him as unimportant.
Mark was able to kill a calamity class monster in a fight as only an A rank, but it wasn't as though Mark was the only A rank that could do that, so Gunter just ignored him.
Besides, why would Gunter care about someone who can only kill a calamity?
But after hearing that Mark went to the island raid with the NSA and came back with barely any injuries, Gunter started to get more and more interested in Mark. He watched Mark for a while, and he realized something very interesting about him, Mark was growing. And it wasn't just a simple speed of growth either. Mark was growing so fast that it almost looked like some joke!
Mark went from struggling against a calamity class to being able to handle a high-level calamity in less than two months.
'And now he can handle multiple calamity classes easily?'
"How many has he killed?"
Gunter turned to one of the superhuman alliance Agents that was standing at the side, and the man immediately brought up his tablet and started reading out the numbers.
"The current examinee has killed thirteen high-level Calamity classes and sixteen low-level calamity classes without taking into consideration the current crowd that was killed. Along with this, he has also killed eleven low-level disaster –"
Gunter raised his hand.
"Don't bore me with the disaster classes. Do you have a score for him already?"
There was a score that was recorded for every Superhuman that came to take this test. The score was calculated based on the number of monsters that you kill as well as how long it takes you to kill them. Gunter figured that this much might already be enough to tell them how strong Mark was.
The Agent started to scroll through the tablet and tapped on a few numbers before he swallowed and stammered out an answer.
"B-Based on his recent performance and the speed at which he dealt with the monsters. His current score is 3500 points."
Gunter's eyes widened in shock, and even Fiona looked stunned by what she heard as they both turned to the agent to confirm that they weren't hearing things. It only took a moment for Gunter to accept that he really heard properly, and he immediately began to laugh in excitement.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
All the people in the room looked up at the examiner's booth as they heard the loud laugh, and they wondered what was making someone laugh that loudly! Gunter couldn't believe what he was hearing! So there was going to be another one of them already? The score limit that would make someone undefined was only 2000.
Anything above 2000 was considered an undefined Rank and they would be taken as a member of the SOVEREIGN immediately.
Mark was able to grow so much that he easily broke through the limits and entered the realm of the undefined!
A cruel smile grew on Gunter's face as he looked at Mark with a fire behind his eyes.
"I want him."
Fiona's eyes narrowed into slits once she heard that and her hand tightened into fists, but she didn't dare to say anything in response as she knew that it would be stupid to mention that Mark was currently a part of her guild. She knew what sort of person Gunter was, and it would not end well for her if he decided to force her to give Mark to him.
