Thanks for the chapter!
Is it me, or was that legendary hero Calzona the one who grabbed a Hell Gate Key from the goblin lair and pledge her soul to summoning a hell group?  Disagree with Alice about not comparing the exploits of the dead with the living.  Granted hard to accurately rate someone who died 100+ years ago as recorded exploits have a tendency to not be able to accurately rate someone and either be embellished to make a better story or neglect crucial details due to inexperience or bad eye of the onlooker reporting it.  However, if they set high standards than that helps set a goal for the living to work up to through talent honed by effort and training.  Otherwise standards could be lowered due to politicians trying to improve the hype they're trying to exploit or those pushing for high titles with less effort.  
Btw, maybe it's just me but doesn't Claude look a little feminine?  Especially considering Claude is never shown without armor or helmet on.  Armor can understand, but would think would remove helmet to avoid overheating, get some fresh air, or at least for eating/drinking.  In any case, doesn't the general shape resemble Alphonse from Full Metal Alchemist quite a bit? (Except for the face of the helmet.)  Like the tail on the helmet and the sash around the waist.
