Chapter 1.48 R
In Esthelm, Ryoka Griffin stuns the Adventurer's Guild by defeating Silver-rank Yvlon Byres in an unarmed sparring match. The situation escalates when Cervial uses [Appraisal] on Ryoka, revealing to everyone's shock that she possesses absolutely no classes or levels. Distressed by the public exposure, Ryoka flees the city toward Liscor, prompting Persua and her lackeys to pursue her.
In the city of Esthelm, Garia arrives carrying a heavy shipment of sugar. Meanwhile, at the Adventurer's Guild, Ryoka Griffin spends time around several Silver-rank adventurer teams, including the Horns of Hammerad, Silver Spears, and Flawless Flights. During these interactions, Ceria Springwalker is noted to be a specialized [Cryomancer], and Yvlon Byres is introduced as a skilled adventurer whose brother is a famous Gold-rank [Knight].
Tensions and curiosity culminate in a sparring match between Ryoka and Yvlon. Despite being unarmored and facing a well-equipped opponent, Ryoka utilizes mixed martial arts and Muay Thai techniques to systematically dismantle Yvlon's defenses. She successfully defeats the Silver-rank adventurer, knocking her to the ground and leaving the spectators stunned. Yvlon sustains minor injuries during the bout but is quickly treated with a healing potion.
Following the fight, Cervial decides to investigate Ryoka's unexpected combat prowess by using his [Appraisal] Skill on her. To the absolute shock of the gathered adventurers, Cervial publicly reveals that Ryoka possesses zero levels and holds no classes whatsoever. This revelation completely upends the adventurers' understanding of the world, as living without a class is considered virtually impossible.
Overwhelmed and deeply distressed by the public exposure of her classless status, Ryoka abruptly flees Esthelm. She sets off on a desperate run south toward Liscor and the Blood Fields to escape the ensuing attention. Seeing an opportunity to capitalize on her rival's sudden flight, Persua quickly gathers her lackeys, Toriska and Claudeil, and departs the city in pursuit of the fleeing Runner.
