That file contained a secret of the past that no one had ever known.
“What is your highest definition of a warrior?” someone asked at that precise moment.
“Ultimate class, of course! In the past century, an Ultimate class warrior has been the highest-ranking!”
“Indeed! That’s a fact recognized by all nations!”
Everyone interjected in agreement.
“Then, let me tell you that Ultimate class is not the end but the beginning. There are other ranks above that.”
“What?”
Shock pervaded everyone present.
Throughout their entire lives, they had only ever heard of the Ultimate class warrior being at the top of the totem pole.
That also applied to the standards set by various countries.
After all, even someone as powerful as Northern Demon was only an Ultimate class warrior.
“Tell you what—there’s still a Supreme class above Ultimate class! An Ultimate class warrior is powerful enough, no? Even a whole country may not be able to defeat a formidable Ultimate class warrior like Northern Demon, but he can actually be killed with nuclear weapons. No matter how powerful he is, he can’t survive being blasted with nuclear weapons. However, a Supreme class warrior is even more daunting, for even small-scale nuclear weapons can’t kill him. And that’s exactly what a Supreme class be like!”
Hiss!
At that, everyone sucked in a breath.
What? Even nuclear weapons can’t kill a Supreme class warrior? That’s terrifyingly strong! It’s definitely beyond the realm of ordinary humans! In fact, it feels as though we’re listening to an ancient myth…
“If so, why have we never heard of a Supreme class warrior all this time?”
Bafflement was written on everyone’s faces.
“That’s because no one has ever attained the Supreme class in the past century, and the same goes for all other countries. Meanwhile, all Supreme class warriors of the past have gone into hiding. Hence, the Supreme class became a myth and a highly-confidential secret!” the top brass member explained.
“Hmm? Why did the Supreme class warriors choose to hide away, none coming forward in a century?” someone questioned.
“Even I don’t know the answer to that. From the information in top-secret files, all the Supreme class warriors, as well as those above that rank, in Erudia and all of the world went silent overnight. No one knows the reason.”
“Whoa! That’s terrifying! What exactly happened that all the Supreme class warriors in the whole wide world disappeared? What on earth was their concern? Or what reason could there have been?”
And so the questions went.
Everyone was puzzled at the phenomenon.
“No idea. There’s no record in the Dragonites’ files.”
The top brass members shook their heads.
Then, they went on to say, “The reason all of you are allowed to see this confidential file today is simple—the Supreme class warriors may be showing soon! Based on the sum of the recent events, it’s inevitable that Supreme class warriors make a comeback, triggering unknown difficulties and dangers! Don’t just assume that Erudia is high and mighty, standing above all other countries. Once they release the true monster, no one knows who will end up the victor.”
At that, everyone started fretting. “So, what should we do? Are our hands really tied if the Supreme class warriors make a comeback and those unknown dangers truly manifest themselves? What would become of Erudia?”
With things going out of control, even the Dragonites were helpless.
Just then, the top brass exchanged a glance and smiled. “When danger descends, someone will always step out and hold the fort.”
“But no one stepped out to hold the fort when Northern Demon ran rampant! It was still Levi Garrison who resolved the issue,” everyone countered curiously.
“That’s because Northern Demon isn’t even qualified to warrant them making an appearance. Or perhaps the level of danger he posed hadn’t yet reached their minimum standard to justify taking action.”
