The four other members of Little Kings just sat there, flabbergasted at the news of their two friends" promotion to platinum rank.It was already known that the highest ranked adventurer in the academy was the student council president, Zephyr Arks. He was a 5-star Gold ranked adventurer, but even he would need at least another couple hundreds of low-tier gold ranked quests or only tens of high-tier gold ranked quests to gain the qualifications to promote to platinum rank.
But now, their two friends, who were much younger than the president were now already at the platinum rank.
"By the way, this is for you!" Mimi took out a brocade box from out of nowhere and presented it to the party.
Once Cecil opened the box, inside laid a small black ring with runic inscriptions decorating it. It was a spatial ring! And from the looks of it, it was a high ranked one.
"This is a high rank spatial ring. It has a storage s.p.a.ce of 10 cubic meters. It"s a commemoration gift for our two cuties for being the youngest in history to promote to Platinum rank!"
"!" The party was surprised hearing the news. The "youngest in history"... what– what the f–?!
"Thanks big sis!"
"That"s not all! Since you"re also in a party, the party"s rank will also be platinum! You"ll now have the privilege to have access to raid-type dungeons! Hooray!"
"Raid dungeons?" Ainz asked.
"Raid dungeons are a little different than your typical dungeons. The dungeons are a little magical and they appear and disappear in set intervals. The guild will provide the information to your party on where a raid dungeon will appear!"
Mimi stopped and let everyone take in the information before continuing, "Once a raid dungeon pops up I highly recommend you to try it out! Although it will be dangerous, the rewards of a raid dungeon are just too great to miss out on! Rare ores, herbs, magic weapons and even dungeon monster eggs that you could hatch and form a pact with and so much more! There"s too many to list so it"ll be better if you just experience it firsthand!" The harpy lady exclaimed with fanfare.
Lucia then voiced her concern, "Those raid dungeons... they"re a whole lot different than normal dungeons right? I mean... they"re not going to be as boring as a normal dungeon right?"
"Of course not!" Mimi exclaimed, "Rest a.s.sured everyone, a raid dungeon is much more different than a normal dungeon! It"s also much more dangerous as well, but it would be better to experience it since it would be hard for me to describe it~"
"...does this mean that big sis has also entered one before?" Lucia asked.
"Of course!"
"..." Cecil stayed quiet, but the raid dungeon did pique his interest. "Maybe it wouldn"t be so bad to try one out."

"OKAY! On to the next reward!"
"THERE"S STILL MORE?!" Velicia exclaimed in surprise.
"Why of course! You guys still haven"t received your high-tier promotion quest rewards yet~ since the quest that Cecil and Lucia had picked happened to be the most difficult promotion quest at the moment, you can expect that the rewards are pretty abundant~"
"... oh G.o.d..." Ainz and Veli held their head in pain... no wonder the monsters that they had to subjugate numbered in the tens of thousands! There were many situations where the group could face death at any moment if something bad happened. They even had to face a monster king in their quest
Now that the guild staff, Mimi, informed them of the difficulty of their quest, it was no wonder they had to go through so much difficulty to clear just one quest!
Fina and Eli had a helpless expression on their face, but the thought of their abundant rewards made their expressions lighten up a bit.
"The monetary rewards for the quest are inside this bank card!" Mimi presented a black bank card to Cecil.
Cecil turned towards Lucia and eyed her meaningfully.
"Uhm, big sis, this card can we–"
"Of course! This is a part of the reward y"know! The reward for your promotion to a platinum ranked party! There"s also more inside the ring so you should check it out later when you have the time!"
"Thank you!"
Cecil took the card and handed it over to their party"s nominated treasurer, Fina. Once Fina took the card and had a look on the amount stored inside, she gasped in surprise.
"H-h-hundred..."
"A hundred? That seems a bit low." Ainz said with a frown.
Fina merely raised the card to Ainz and it caused his eyes to widen.
"A HUNDRED THOUSAND?!"
Eli and Velicia also turned to look at the bank card, indeed the total amount inside the card was one hundred thousand credits. It was only a couple of days ago that Fina was worrying about their finances, but then a hundred thousand credits just came falling down onto their lap.
"You guys should know, that this is the normal amount of reward me and Cecil get after completing high tiered gold ranked quests~ we"ve at least ama.s.sed over a million in funds from all our time adventuring~" Lucia added.
"...so you guys are rich... like h.e.l.la rich..." Ainz moaned.
"Of course! Besides, we don"t need much so there are a lot of credits that we"ve saved. Even if we had problems with our party"s funds me and Cecil could just take out a small amount from our personal funds to help, it"s no big deal really~"
Mimi clapped her hands to get everyone"s attention.
"Alright everyone, this is the last reward for today. May I please have the proofs of subjugation?"
"...aren"t you supposed to take that before you announce our quest completion?"
"Ahaha~ don"t worry~ Cecil and Lucia has NEVER failed a quest that they set out on!"
"..."
Cecil took out the demon hawk king"s subjugation proof and presented it to Mimi. She smiled after confirming it and handed the proof over to the other guild staff that came in earlier with Cecil and Lucia"s badge. He quickly took the item and was just about to get up and leave before Lucia stopped him.
"Wait! There"s more!" Lucia poured out all the subjugation proofs of the demon hawks that they hunted and gestured for Ainz and Eli to do the same. Once the entirety of the table was full of proofs Mimi could only smile wryly and motion for the collector to take it all.
"As expected of your party... well, it looks like we"ll have to add more to the rewards. Okay, since the quest is over. Now~ do you guys have anything to sell?"
"Haha~ we"ve been waiting for this, big sis!" Lucia said and she happily poured out all the demon hawk materials in her ring, she also signaled for Ainz and Eli to do the same.
Once all the materials piled up in the room, Mimi tiredly sighed, "You two... always doing something unreasonable... the quest only asked for you to subjugate the demon hawk king... did you guys just go and ma.s.sacre the entire flock while you were at it?"
"What?! LUCIA! CECIL!" Ainz yelled.
"Uhh... teehee?" Lucia jokingly replied while b.u.mping her head.
"..." Cecil remained quiet to everyone"s surprise, normally he would give some sort of retort, but oddly enough, he"s been quiet ever since Mimi had entered the room. He only smiled wryly.
Seeing Cecil"s smile, Ainz once again yelled out in exasperation.
"YOU TWO ARE INSANE!"
The other 3 could only nod in response.
"By the way... are you guys not selling the demon hawk king"s materials?" Mimi asked.
Lucia was the one that quickly responded.
"Nope! We"ll be using the materials to craft some equipment for our friends!"
"Ah! Radon"s helping out I presume?"
"Of course! Uncle Radon always helps us out!"
"R-Radon? You don"t mean Radon Ironforge do you?" Eli asked in surprise.
"That"s him alright! Don"t worry! Uncle Radon will help us if we ask him nicely!" Lucia replied with a smile.
"..."
The party could only sigh at the surprising news, they no longer had the energy to be surprised at every little thing their two friends did anymore. Calling the number one blacksmith in the kingdom their "uncle"... if it was anyone else, the kingdom renowned blacksmith would have most likely smacked them out of the smithy.
"So, big sis... how much do we get from selling all these to the guild?" Lucia inquired.
"Well... it"ll take some time to inspect all these materials... come back tomorrow and I"ll hand over the rewards. I guess you can expect maybe... fifty to a hundred thousand credits... maybe even more!"
"Alright then, see you tomorrow! Let"s go everyone! We should go celebrate our success!"
"Wait a minute Lucia! Remember, we need the points stamp from the guild for our tournament!" Fina said in a hurry.
"Oh yeah! Almost forgot!"
The party turned towards Cecil and the boy took out a parchment from his spatial ring. There were two high tiered gold rank stamps already on it.
"Woah, our party already has 400 points!" Ainz exclaimed.
"And with this promotion quest it"s worth the same as a low-mid ranked platinum quest so it"s another 600 for you guys~" Mimi said while giving the group another stamp.
The two gold stamps were gold in color with 5 stars hanging above it. The new stamp was silver colored with 2 golden stars above it.
"Hooray! That makes 1000 points for us! We"re already ahead in first place with a 500 point difference from second~" Lucia cheered.
Mimi then walked them to the door and the party walked out of the guild"s private room. Outside there was a large crowd of students walking in and out of the guild building. Every one of them were quickly taking up quests or turning them in.
Seeing the group of 6 walking out of the private room caused everyone to gasp in amazement.
"Hey! Those guys could use a private room! That means they"re gold ranked! Woah!"
"d.a.m.n... gold ranked? Which faction are they from?"
"I dunno man, but look! They"re all so young! They must be first years!"
"...isn"t that girl Lucia? The first year"s ranked 1?"
"You"re right! Now that I look at them, aren"t those guys the recent trouble makers? I hear that their group turned down every faction"s invitation and they formed a small group of their own!"
"Hmph... how arrogant, just because one of "em is a gold ranked they think that they could stand a chance facing off against an entire faction?! Don"t they know that the student council president is also gold ranked?"
"Well, who cares? They"re just digging they"re own graves."
"...we better report this back to our faction. Hurry and inform the student council!"
"Us too, we better go and tell the dark moon"s president!"
"Our princess will surely want this piece of news... you two, go back and report this to princess Aurellia!"
"..."
While everyone was making their moves, Cecil and his party just strolled out of the guild and began heading outside of the academy"s district.
Cecil who was finally out of the guild began talking once again, "There"s someone I want to introduce you all too."
Lucia smiled and asked, "Radon?"
"Him... and also Silver! We should get a carriage now with the money we"ve earned."
"You"re right! Walking all around the place sure is tiring... I miss riding on Silvy~"
The other four could only follow behind after the two foxkin. When they heard the name Radon, the group prepared themselves for another round of surprises. Except this time, no matter how much they prepared, they would sure jump in surprise at the second "person" Cecil would be introducing to them.
