Highest number and highest rank isn't the same thing. There's nothing wrong with someone being ranked first (rank 1) having the highest rank.An error - tl seems to not know about how integers are ordered?:

I think he was just waiting for enough time to pass for Noel to come back.Luke has a Noel Compass? lol
Thanks for the chapter.
It is a(n extremely) common error yes. But there is definitely something very wrong with thatHighest number and highest rank isn't the same thing. There's nothing wrong with someone being ranked first (rank 1) having the highest rank.

The 1st rank can be the highest rank/higher than 2nd, but rank 1 can't be considered higher than rank 2, even in a system where the rank is considered better, and their position/status/authority is higher.
Putting it another way, Adventurer ranks which use an alphabetical ranking system in many mangas, also go in reverse order. With starting from F at the lowest, to high ranking at A. S-rank and its other variations is like a special exception for those who surpass the norm.I'm pretty sure that Rank 1 is not the first rank you get when arriving, but 1st as in first place, as in the highest rank you can achieve. So the translation is correct, because she's just started her rank is lower, and she's only 8th rank. I imagine there are only a few Rank 1 people, because they are the First rank in order of power/ability, making them ABOVE newbie rank 8 members.

It isn't...if the fifth team is like that everyday, how is that a sustainable situation?
its a ranking by hirarchy, so its correct to refere to her as the lowest as her ranks hirarchial standing is lower then the others and would be, if they accepted the offer, the lowest one they ever hired by far.An error - tl seems to not know about how integers are ordered?:

That's what I said before, that the ppl themselves have a higher authority. And that is why they get a lower rank.making them ABOVE newbie rank 8 members.
No. I am assuming that higher number = worse rank. No clue how you got the opposite impression. And mc has a poor rank, because it is high.It's fine. The ranks appear ordered top to bottom (ie 1st rank is superior to 2nd, which is superior to 3rd, etc. It's more like placements of achievement as you'd do for people competing in a sporting event or something) So the point or intent of those lines is that the royal guard normally only recruits people from the 3rd rank or better (ie 1st, 2nd, or 3rd) while Noel is just 8th rank right now. But they apparently dispensed with the normal rank threshold in order to make a special case to recruit her.
Your suggestions both seem to assume that a higher number = better rank and that as an 8th ranked court magician she surpasses the 3rd rank recruitment threshold but that doesn't appear to be the case.
The translation isn't great but that's not one of their issues.
No, it is correct to refer her social/hierarchical standing as low, but what they are saying is that her rank (8) is low instead.its a ranking by hirarchy, so its correct to refere to her as the lowest as her ranks hirarchial standing is lower then the others and would be, if they accepted the offer, the lowest one they ever hired by far.

So either they want to hire lower-ranked ppl for their higher competence (most likely), in which case mc doesn't apply and them seeking her is an exception. Or higher-ranked ppl for their lack of allegiances and to up the average of the entire organization (very unlikely, but still a possibility), in which case the dialog is meant to imply that they are going by the rules/tradition.
Like I said, this is an extremely common error ppl often do, where they call the top-rankers as "high-ranked" (and vice versa). The words "top", "better", etc, and "high" are all similar words, but there is a clear difference when it comes to the ordering of integers, where "high" means something distinctly different from the others. That, in addition to how ppl generally associate the rank to someone's social standing (which is correct to call "higher"), makes this error
No, it is correct to refer her social/hierarchical standing as low, but what they are saying is that her rank (8) is low instead.
