In this world there are what we call class.

It is something necessary for those who wish to be truly strong.

It is divided in two category, the minor class and the higher class.

The minor class are the class that everyone can obtain. ( Swordsman, archer, healer, assassins, etc...)

Being easily unlockable, someone with average strengh could acquire them.

However, they are but minor class, all they can give you is but a measly boost in power and capacity.

There may be exception were one can obtain a skill through them, but, that is just as far as they can go.

Then there is the higher class. (Berserker, sage, paladin, etc...)

They are unique class.

Taking into account that someone can only have one class at the same time, they are the class that everyone want to obtain.

Having unknown clear condition, few have the chance to obtain them in an entire lifespan.

Neverthless, those that do are always known throughout the world or have immeasurable power.

Zero had currently 2 objectives.

The first one was to escape from Derrick Sherman, the father of Kain and Diall Sherman.

Zero didn't really know why, at first, but thanks to Seiya's warning, she now knew that it was a bad idea to make an enemy out of a duke.

—‘Nevertheless, Alfred Sherman was the type of person who only cares about money, so as long as we make it far away enough, he shouldn't chase after us.’

That was Seiya's word.

That was also why she followed them.

Zero's second objective was to reach the 'Ganea Kingdom'.

Coincidentally, Ruby town, their current destination, was in the same direction.

“Ah~~, we've finally arrived~~” Ellen said, sounding relieved.

“It sure was a long trip” Chloe responded in the same tone.

“It's a little early to feel relieved, girl. Don't forget that we have a shortage on money.”

Maria said prompting the two of them to be depressed.

“Moreover, I was wondering this for a while but, Zero, you have an ID card, right?”

Maria continued, directing her gaze at Zero.

“ID card...? What is that?”

Zero answered while tilting her head.

Hearing that, all of the team, including Seiya, showed despair on their face.

“““Seriously!!!”””

★

One hour after, Maria was crouching down on a side road, inside the city, with teary eye while murmuring something incomprehensible.

“My money, my money, all my money.....”

An ID card was a necessary item for someone to enter a town, as such if someone wanted to go on a trip they needed to buy one.

However, it was somethingextremely expansive.

5 silver coins.

That was its price.

It was literally, half of the team's total savings.

Knowing that, Zero couldn't do anything but feel sorry.

“I'm really sorry”

She said, looking downcast.

Hearing that Maria suddenly felt guilt inside of her and tried to say that it wasn't her fault, but,

“....”

She couldn't, as it really was.

“Well, don't be like that. We still have monster material that we could sell at the adventurer association. I'm sure it will solve our problem”

Seiya interjected between the two of them, feeling as it wouldn't get anywhere.

Maria hearing that decided to stand.

“That's right. We still have that!”

She said, glancing toward the pouch around Seiya's belt.

It was a magic pouch that could store ten times more things than the way it looked.

What was inside it was the corps of the monster they defeated during their month-long trip.

“It will surely sell well!”

Maria said with an enthusiastic smile as though her previous attitude didn't exist.

At that moment, a loud laugh was heard.

“Hahahahahhaha, that is how it is a little girl”

A big musculated man said.

“You said that it would be evenly split!!”

The girl in front of him yelled.

“I changed my mind, but, if you really want the money that badly, how about you sell that body of yours to me.”

The big man answered her with a disgusting smile.

“Go to hell!”

The girl, however, didn't flinch and showed clear hostility toward the man.

Seeing that, the man snapped.

“Aah! What was that! Don't oppose me, you bitch!”

The man extended his hand toward the girl to teach her a lesson, but,

“Stop!”

Seiya suddenly appeared between the two of them.

“Who the heck are you!?”

“Get away from here you damned beast!”

Ignoring the big man's word, Seiya shouted.

“You! Do you know who I—”

Before he could finish his phrase, he sensed four presence behind him ready to attack at any moment.

“One last time, Get lost!”

Seiya repeated.

Then, knowing that the situation was bad, the big man regained his calm.

However, he didn't plan to budge one bit.

“No!”

Immediately after, Seiya unsheathed his sword and attacked the man at high speed.

But, surprisingly, the man not only dodged his attack but he also landed a punch in his abdomen that sent Seiya a meter away.

“Humph! Don't be so full of yourself, you kid. You're no match for me.”

Pressure enveloped the whole area as the big man turned his head toward the four women behind him.

“Don't think I, Craw, will go easy because you're all girl!”

Craw, the ogre, entered battle mode.
