chapter 216 – Building a Castle (4)
Though he was well aware that the Hero Universe members were unique characters, Kang Shin-hyuk also knew that there were people who shared quests with members of other dimensions.
"Wow, my grandpa was handsome all this time…"
"Thank you." Kang Shin-hyuk smiled bitterly as the girl standing before him looked up towards his face.
She looked young, probably no more than ten years old.
"Oh, you just thought of asking about my age. Prohibited, that's not possible. An absolute no-no." He didn't even want to ask, but the girl slammed her hand down. She had blue hair like Oh Hye-na, but her eyes had bright red irises.
"Just call meShu."
"You got that from Super Ultra GalaxyFist?"
"Yes.
What about the gloves? Grandpa's gloves." As soon as Shu confirmed he was Anvil, she murmured like a child and hung to his waist. The administrator had no comment, for once.
"Here."
"Wow, finally! The Anvil made products the others are boasting about!"
"Ah." Taking the gloves he offered, Shu's eyes sparkled as she rubbed them against her cheek.
It was the object she had requested, but when he told her they were complete, she asked him to do a quest with her. Perhaps he wouldn't be active, but observing the power of other members would be of great help to his training, and it wasn't bad to build friendships, so he agreed,but…
'It was good to meet her for sure.' The members of the Hero Universe always surprised him.
Meanwhile, Shu was experimenting with the gloves' durability as hethought.
"It'll stretch out? Nottear?"
"Well, it should go up to maybe the X-rank?"
"Oooooh, after all, grandpa has different standards! The current limit was easily exceeded!" That meant the limit of a mortal. Kang Shin-hyuk tilted his head.
"Isn't the expression' current limit' not suitable for people that transcend it?
Right now, most of my statuses have reached that limit."
"Oh, that's the standard. I call less than X the current limit."
"Indeed." It was an area that Kang Shin-hyuk hadn't even recognized until a little while ago.
The SSS-rank was hardly one people would imagine to those on Earth, but the standards of those in the Hero Universe were undoubtedly very different.
'So, how is she actually,administrator?'
-Please consider the fact that she is a VIP member.
But… for someone like you, the current limit is a correct way to refer to the SSS-rank.
'SSS+ rank is a turning point… it's the VIP standard.' Kang Shin-hyuk laughed at the feeling he was only a frog in a well, and suddenly caught sight of her hands; her bare hands that were covered in scars.
Maybe they were old wounds that were impossible to heal, but he had heard that there were definitely elixirs on the trading board…
"Do you care? But it's okay; it's like a medal."
"Have you been fighting without gloves so far?"
"Yes. There was nothing that suited me." The girl spoke lightly as she put on the black gloves. The gloves shrunk to fit her small hands the moment she put them on.
