Cipher observed the number. It was impossibly huge.
A C-rank typically had 4,000 to 7,900 HP. Even a B-rank only had 8,000 to 15,900 HP.
With his over 18,000 damage, didn't this mean he could one-shot a B-rank?
Well, not necessarily. There were also things like defense and buffs to account for, so more precisely, his actual damage output would be closer to 10,000. It was still enough to one-shot regular C-ranks though.
As for why he didn't think it was even enough to exchange some moves with B-ranks, it was because of other stat differences. Depending on the class, a B-rank would have higher stats than him in other aspects even if he could overwhelm them in pure physical damage, making the situation much harder.
But for C-rank, the difference between him and the top players in C-rank was high but not insurmountable, so he should be able to match them with some planning.
