Here’s Chapter 216,

Second chapter for the week.

Baron Cisne appears to be different from most other nobles.
To be exact, he’s kinda poor……

Also to clarify how the rank up to rank C works, the adventurer ranking up from D to C is given a token C rank request to do.
It has no effect on whether they actually rank up or not and they will get to rank C regardless of the result of the request.
However, if you complete the request successfully, it looks better on your adventurer record and people that might hire you would consider you a better adventurer than someone who failed it or refused the request.
