A Highest Rank in Another World!

Noah walked for a while and then looked back to see if the man was still following him. 

\'Looks like he\'s gone. That man is nice even though he was suspicious of me. All right, now where are those ogres? It can\'t be that hard to find five giant monsters.\'

Noah continued walking that way for a few minutes, until the \'forest\' finally came to its end, revealing a long plain.

"Maybe they\'re gone away? No, it can\'t be that. Ogres usually stay in one place, they don\'t make long trips. I\'ll have to look harder for them."

Noah went back into the forest and then looked around for any indication that the ogres had passed that way. Without much success.

The only indication was a downed tree, but the tree could have been blown down by the wind or perhaps by a human, for its trunk was not destroyed as it normally would have been if an ogre had punched it.

"I hate looking for monsters. It\'s so much easier when they come my way. I wonder if I call out for them they show up."

Noah had no idea what to do, so he started yelling for the ogres.

The ogres didn\'t understand his words, but it would draw them to him.

And to Noah\'s surprise, it had worked.

After his shouts, a loud sound of something breaking came from his right. It was far away and the trees were partially blocking Noah\'s view, so he wasn\'t sure it was the ogres.

"I\'ll know when I get there." 

So Noah tightened the grip of his sword and quickly ran between the trees, throwing his body from side to side, until he finally spotted an ogre 3-4 meters tall in the distance.

Without slowing down his speed, Noah reached the ogre in an instant and used his sword to cut off the ogre\'s left leg.

The ogre\'s leg was cut off entirely.

And losing his leg, the ogre went out of balance and fell.

After falling, the Ogre noticed Noah\'s presence and tried to get up somehow. He seeming not to realize that his leg had been torn off.

At the same time, the Ogre also tried to activate his fire magic to try to hurt Noah somehow. But without letting the ogre continue with the activation of his magic, Noah approached the ogre\'s head and then swung his sword with both hands, tearing the ogre\'s head off.

The ogre\'s body trembled a few times before it stopped moving.

"Only have one?... Oops, shouldn\'t have asked that." After his question, Noah jumped away, then a nearly 100kg rock fell in the same place he was standing.

Noah looked up and saw nothing. But seconds later, an ogre appeared walking while knocking down the trees in front of him.

Not only one, but four of them were there.

Noah was not afraid, he just wanted to know how that ogre managed to throw a rock directly at him.

"Since when do ogres have good aim? That\'s a surprise." Noah let out a cheerful laugh and then activated his earth magic, creating several pointed projectiles that flew toward the oncoming ogres.

Perhaps 50 projectiles had been created.

The tree trunks were punctured, some trees were even felled.

When Noah realized, all the ogres had had their bodies pierced like a sieve, he thought he had gone a little overboard.

\'Sometimes I forget that my magic is at a high level.\'

####

Noah removed the ogres\' ears to take with him and then used water magic to clean his sword.

After that he returned to the village with a satisfied smile on his face, feeling good that he had killed some monsters after so long.

The only thing he had been killing for the past few days were just wild animals.

"I will go and warn the village first and then return to the capital."

Noah walked to the village and knocked on the gate.

The guards inside opened the gate and then the same guard came out. He looked at Noah and gave a small smile.

"So you gave up? This is good... I thought you would do something crazy."

"No, I\'ve already finished the mission."

"What?" 

"Here it is." Noah pulled the ogre ears from his pocket. He had drained the blood, so it was okay to put them there.

The man looked at the ears of the five ogres and didn\'t seem to believe they were real. Because of this, Noah taunted the man a little, causing him to become irritated.

Noah didn\'t mind, he said goodbye and then went back to the capital.

And the man, after entering the village, talked to all the guards about what had happened, and of course, no one was buying it.

So he decided to leave the village and go to the forest to check if Noah had really killed all the ogres.

The guard, after seeing all the ogres with their bodies completely perforated, realized how powerful Noah was. 

He also regretted having doubted him.

####

Noah showed his identification and entered the capital again.

After arriving at the adventurer\'s guild, he went to the counter to talk to Rose.

"Are you back already? Don\'t tell me..."

"Yes, it\'s finished." Noah took the ogres ears from his pocket and gave them to Rose.

"How?"

"Hm?"

"How did you get there so fast, kill all the ogres, and get back to the capital? That was very fast!" 

"I am very fast." Noah smiled at Rose.

She sighed and then picked up a bag of coins and handed it to Noah.

"Here, the reward. And since you have accomplished this mission, I will increase your Rank."

"So easily?"

"It would be crazy for the guild not to increase your Rank after that, wouldn\'t it?"

"..."

After increasing Noah\'s Rank to D, Rose returned his license.  He looked at his new Rank and looked proud.

\'It\'ll be easy to get to Rank S.\' He said satisfied.

After he said goodbye to Rose, he returned to the inn so he could talk to his mother and father. Since Lisandra and the others had not yet returned, he had some time left.

When he arrived at the inn, he found the innkeeper serving beer to some men.

Noah approached her and asked about his parents.

"They arrived and went up to their room."

"Thank you."

Noah went to his parent\'s room and knocked a few times on the door.

"Noah? What are you doing here? I thought you went to the guild." Lucio said surprised.

Emma who was lying down sat up in bed.

"I already went to the guild and I also did a mission. Here it is." Noah took the bag of coins and placed it in his father\'s hands.

"What? We already have money, you can keep that." Lucio tried to give the coins back, but Noah wouldn\'t take it.

"I told you guys I would get money for us. I will work even harder because we need a house in the capital, we can\'t stay living in an inn."

"... You don\'t have to. Your mother and I can go back to work..."

"Are you idiots? I told you to leave everything to me. Now rest, I\'m going out for a little walk until Lisandra arrives in the capital."

"..."

"Mom, don\'t think anything idiot."

"Hm? What do you mean?" Emma tilted her head in confusion.

"You know what I\'m talking about."

Noah left the room and then went downstairs. 

He sat down at a table and had two glasses of beer before leaving to walk around town. Noah didn\'t like to drink much, but when he is nervous it is something he often does.

"I don\'t know what I\'m going to tell Lisandra. How will she react?"

####

After returning to the adventurer\'s guild, Noah sat down to wait for Lisandra and the others.

He also ordered some beer to drink while he waited for her arrival.

  And after almost an hour, they had finally returned.

As usual, they attracted a lot of attention from the guild members. As soon as Lisandra and the others noticed Noah\'s presence, they all ran to the table to greet him.

Unlike them, who were happy, Noah remained serious.

Because of this, Lisandra began to worry.

"What? You never act like that. Did something happen to our mother or father?"

"It\'s not that, something else happened."

"What is it? You\'re making me nervous." Lisandra swallowed her own saliva.

Ciaphia, Taciane, and Eli continued in silence as they looked at each other.

"Let\'s go to the inn, our mother and father are here."

"They\'re here? Wait, if they are here was the village left alone? It\'s not normal for that to happen."

"..." 

"Something happened, didn\'t it?" Lisandra was silent as she stared at Noah. 

She expected him to say something, but he just stood up.

"Let\'s go to the inn, my mother will tell you everything."

"Wait!"

Lisandra and the others hurried to go after Noah.
