213: Common Nameless Two days since this thread went up. It had been a total disaster.

214: Common Nameless Only been two days, and we were already on the eighth thread. People needed a hobby.

215: Common Nameless It couldn't be helped, though.

216: Common Nameless There was too much to talk about, but since the audio was a total loss, we were stuck in a bugged-out loop of pure speculation.

217: Common Nameless It was unavoidable, but still a massive waste of potential.

218: Common Nameless Everyone was petrified, after all. At the distance Ayane-sama was forced to maintain, we were lucky to get any video at all.

219: Common Nameless Every single clip had already passed a million views and was still climbing. It was a genuine feat.

220: Common Nameless That battle was just... on another level. I didn't even know what to call it anymore.

221: Common Nameless The Summoned Beasts were cute, but they were terrifyingly strong.

222: Common Nameless Come to think of it, Reima didn't have any magic power to begin with, right? How was he even functioning as a Summoner?

223: Common Nameless No one knew. There were too many theories, but "Acquired Magic Awakening" seemed like the lead contender.

224: Common Nameless It had happened before. They said Dungeon exposure or long-term contact with magic tools could trigger an awakening.

225: Common Nameless Maybe, but that level of power with it was a literal glitch in the system.

226: Common Nameless He was too strong. He didn't just hold his own against an opponent that Kagura-sama and the other S-Ranks couldn't touch—he actually beat him.

227: Common Nameless I enjoyed seeing the "Black Robe isn't actually strong" theory get completely dismantled. That was hype.

228: Common Nameless Only a handful of idiots ever actually believed that anyway.

229: Common Nameless If you saw someone slice a Behemoth in two with magic and still thought he was weak, you were beyond help.

230: Common Nameless A Summoner with that much martial skill was just a scam.

231: Common Nameless His support performance was already a joke. This just felt like overkill.

232: Common Nameless The fact that the final reward exchange got jammed was a tragedy.

233: Common Nameless Kagura-sama’s channel mentioned the loot, though. Every single item had bugged-out stats.

234: Common Nameless A scythe-sword that prevented healing, a [Shield of Reflection], and boots that granted flight. Absolutely disgusting.

235: Common Nameless So the opponent really was Perseus.

236: Common Nameless He was a powerhouse straight out of the myths. He lived up to the name.

237: Common Nameless The real worry was whether Dungeons of that class were going to keep popping up.

238: Common Nameless Don't even go there. That was the scariest part of all this.

239: Common Nameless S-Ranks couldn't even clear them. If more showed up, what were we supposed to do?

240: Common Nameless Reima would handle it.

241: Common Nameless The blind faith was real. I got it, but still.

242: Common Nameless Didn't a random "awakened" person with that much power make anyone else nervous? Especially with that kind of strength.

243: Common Nameless Were you some kind of "air-player" who hadn't seen the clips? The guy was a saint to an incomprehensible degree.

244: Common Nameless He was the idiot who tried to stay behind faster than anyone else during the Behemoth fight. He only won because he was a freak; his actual odds of survival should have been zero.

245: Common Nameless He killed it in one hit, though?

246: Common Nameless That [Leva-ken] definitely required a charge-up time. It probably needed a chant, and he likely needed even more Summoned Beasts out to manage the field.

247: Common Nameless Wait, there were more of Reima's Summoned Beasts than that?

248: Common Nameless That’s what the Behemoth claimed, anyway. Who knew if it was true?

249: Common Nameless "There are many of my class," was it?

250: Common Nameless He was just way too much of a "strongest Summoner."

251: Common Nameless The strongest Summoner: he could support, heal, use magic, and handle melee.

252: Common Nameless A real-life bug.

253: Common Nameless The camera couldn't even track the movement toward the end.

254: Common Nameless And who was that overwhelmingly beautiful woman who appeared at the very end?

255: Common Nameless The one who paralyzed Perseus? I couldn't even see her clearly.

256: Common Nameless All I knew was that her face was top-tier.

257: Common Nameless I wanted her to step on me.

258: Common Nameless ——Hey, you guys. The government just dropped an announcement!

259: Common Nameless That was sudden.

260: Common Nameless What did it say?

261: Common Nameless Effective immediately, Dungeons S-Rank and above were classified as "Mythology Dungeons." To challenge them, a minimum of four S-Rank Adventurers was... required. And Reima Kariya had been officially certified as Japan’s tenth S-Rank Adventurer.

262: Common Nameless That was way too fast.

263: Common Nameless It was only natural.

264: Common Nameless A new Hero was born. Wonderful.

265: Common Nameless Reima was basically at the level of the [Guardian], wasn't he?

266: Common Nameless The man who first conquered a Dungeon fifty years ago? The strongest of the modern era?

267: Common Nameless I was genuinely curious which one of them was stronger.

268: Common Nameless I didn't know if they’d ever fight, but Reima’s strength was in his sheer numbers.

269: Common Nameless He was a Summoner, after all.

270: Common Nameless A one-man army of the highest caliber (complete with a lot of Summoned Beasts).

271: Common Nameless Truly beyond comprehension.

272: Common Nameless Think he’d start his own channel?

273: Common Nameless He’d probably have to.

274: Common Nameless Honestly, I was fine with him just clearing Dungeons without a stream.

275: Common Nameless They’d need a specialized camera crew just to keep up with him anyway.

276: Common Nameless It would take time.

277: Ritter der Nacht "Excuse me. Is this the correct bulletin board?"

278: Common Nameless A fixed handle?

279: Common Nameless Wait, isn’t that Laura-sama’s title?

280: Common Nameless Was this the real deal?

281: Ritter der Nacht "...Even if you ask if I am the real one, I am Laura. The Doctor prepared this for me."

282: Common Nameless Oh. It was the real deal.

283: Common Nameless The "confirmed appearance" flag just went off.

284: Common Nameless I could practically see the scene in my head.

285: Common Nameless What business did Laura-sama have on a place like UNDER GRAPH?

286: Ritter der Nacht "Ah, right. Well... regarding Reima, who is currently being discussed. When I meet him... what sort of outfit should I wear, and what should I give him? Kagu-chan arranged the meeting for me... but I am very nervous and quite at a loss."

287: Common Nameless Wait, wasn't that a massive bombshell?

288: Common Nameless It was Laura-sama, so I shouldn't have been surprised. But... what?

289: Common Nameless Why? How? What?

290: Ritter der Nacht "The Doctor told me to take an 'Anka'? Can I rely on you for this?"

291: Common Nameless Mad Doctor☆... that magnificent bastard. He was definitely a member of the Pleasure Club.

292: Common Nameless Deceiving an innocent girl like that. Unbelievable.

293: Common Nameless So, what were we doing? Were we doing this?

294: Common Nameless She was the one asking. We couldn't exactly turn her down.

295: Common Nameless Alright, Laura-sama. Pick a number after 295.

296: Ritter der Nacht "Hmm. Is 299 acceptable?"

297: Common Nameless Armor.

298: Common Nameless Too slow.

299: Perverted Gentleman A naked apron.

300: Common Nameless You absolute— Wait, what?

301: Mad Doctor☆ "Ahyahyaha! You guys on the thread are the absolute best!"
