But Louis feels that geniuses and a copy ninja like him are still different.

He's not being overly modest.

Rather, he knows very well that he obtained the qualification to learn professional skills impossible at this level thanks to the Mask of Greed.

Then he exploited his greedy curiosity to forcibly copy skills from others and mastered their usage.

If someone like the Kulin Sword Saint is a genius at learning martial arts, even capable of ascending higher peaks.

Then Louis would be akin to a "point allocation" player who gains without effort.

He's the reflection of the strong.

The stronger the master who teaches him, the higher the upper limit he can master in skills.

But currently, without the ability to innovate, he can't directly break through the limits.

His potential now temporarily depends on the teacher's level, not his own.

But in this past year and a half, none of those who taught him were simple.

There's no need to talk about Jino.

Already about to step into legendary realms, now Louis understands what LV20 capable of contending with Sean and Fafnir truly means.

Louis is sure that given some temporary items to boost professional level, Jino can also exert power beyond ordinary legend.

There's no need to mention Sister Lumi.

As the attacker of the former Hero Squad, she possesses skills clearly beyond her current level, though not yet at the Sword Saint level.

No need to mention Dean Kulin.

Currently the foremost in Ense's craft.

Louis suspects, purely on skill, Kulin is likely the strongest person he's seen.

He's learned many techniques from Teacher Jino.

To be frank, Jino's martial arts aren't like his carefree appearance.

His operation is actually meticulous amidst broad movements.

Maybe due to constantly breaking physical limits by stabilizing Jino's breathing method; his physique far exceeds ordinary LV20.

This special physical condition enables him to exert higher damage with less effort.

Brute flying brick, that describes him.

But he's just relatively relaxed in squeezing the limit of skills compared to his physique.

Not that his skills are lacking.

President Hans curiously said:

"But the intelligence we received clearly stated you used power far exceeding ordinary legends on the battlefield, isn't that true?"

"Is it difficult?" Louis gently lifted his helmet, took a sip of tea, and said, "Honestly, I'm not sure about your judgment criteria for Sword Saints, since I don't think I'm a Sword Saint."

"So you don't deny you can exert skills far beyond your current level, do you?"

Louis nodded: "Compared to ordinary professionals, yes."

Mask of Greed, YYDS!

"Back then on the battlefield, you instantly executed a chain strike of time stop + Isle of Time, right!"

"Yes, but theoretically, someone else should be able to do it, right."

Hans nodded: "Theoretically, any Sword Saint should easily do that."

Louis emphasized: "But I'm not a Sword Saint?"

Hans shook his head: "Do you think a Sword Saint has rigid benchmarks? Wrong, anyone who can exert such power is a Sword Saint."

Ordinary professionals need to meet advancement conditions perfectly, typically requiring LV15 or above.

Some weak foundational professionals may not meet the basic requirements even at LV20.

Professionals who meet all advancement conditions around LV12 aren't stuck at level due to deliberate honing efforts or are genuine geniuses.

The lower the level and age for professional advancement, the higher the capability.

Like Louis, meeting conditions at LV6 is beyond ridiculous.

Most people would call him a monster.

President Hans clasped his hands under his chin and said:

"If your professional level is raised to demigod in a short time, can you exert demigod power?"

Louis pondered and finally said:

"Step-by-step, probably not an issue."

Hans spread his hands and said: "That's what our Sword Saint and the neighboring Sword Master said too."

Louis: "..."

No, it's really different.

But he cannot disclose the specifics of the sin of Greed's skills to him.

Hans isn't among the few he trusts greatly.

So he remained silent.

"After confirming this, headquarters approved my application."

Hans handed a pale gold plaque to Louis and said:

"Lord Caesar, whether you're a legend or a Sword Saint makes no difference to us; you illuminate the adventurer title with your presence."

Yes.

What Hans handed over symbolizes the highest status countless adventurers yearn for.

Also proof of the adventurer title.

Louis considered and said:

"I'll accept the adventurer title plaque, but I won't claim to be a legend or Sword Saint unless I truly reach that level."

Hans nodded in understanding.

These technique-pursuing oddities are quite stubborn.

Back then, Lokeshi's Sword Master was like that, slashing legends at LV20 yet not claiming to be a Sword Master.

Promoted to legend, then slayed demigods, only then "forced" to acknowledge as Sword Master.

The Daya of pastoral tribes have similar styles.

Usually, through generations, Daya archers call themselves "ordinary bowmen."

Yet, these ordinary bowmen slew innumerable legends and demigods.

Really believe it and they lose.

Moreover…

President Hans stealthily glanced at the closed helmet.

The full armor only revealed Louis' bright eyes.

The glimpse while drinking tea made it clear that this adventurer called Caesar is very young.

Just this merits heavy investment from the Adventurer Guild.

For he has proven himself.

The trial of the title is not meaningful to him.

Louis looked at the title adventurer plaque in his hand and said:

"What benefits do you get from this?"

He was curious concerning Alice's intent to exchange and the urgent need for an adventurer title.

Hans heard Louis inquire and finally smiled and said:

"Come, I'll show how to use it."

He took out a gold plaque engraved with "Red Ghost":

"Unexpected to see such a young title adventurer, let me enjoy teaching as a senior."

He spoke to the plaque:

"Activate instruction mode."

Beam glimmers flashed on the title card, and magic radiance dispersed.

Hans brought his plaque into contact with Louis' plaque.

Instantly, their awareness began elevating.

This feeling of consciousness departure reminded Louis of the sensation when joining the Jade Phoenix Alliance.

No…it's exactly the same.

Louis was startled.

But quickly got over it.

Perhaps this method is the way Star Continent's Extraordinary Society contacts members.

For the Adventurer Guild, title adventurer is the true entry qualification.

When the elevated awareness sensation ceased, Louis was startled.

"What is this..."

"Welcome to Adventure Island." Hans patted Louis's shoulder, laughing heartily, "This is the Adventurer Guild's headquarters, a semi-dimension drifting as an island above the continent."

Louis looked shocked at the thin mist, then the spreading light screens ahead, saying:

"Is this the real Adventurer Guild's bulletin board?"

What appeared was a world like data.

Hans swiped, unfolding a light screen in the void:

"Now, let me show you the guidelines for us title adventurers."
