Five stars.
The Contract had a Difficulty rating of five stars.

Staring at the screen before me, I was only briefly struck speechless.
"Librarian, I can't handle this...!"
Turning my head to her, the volume of my voice naturally raised, a complicated mix of emotions contained within.

My first Red Contract, Drakon-Rasa, was rated with a 3-star Difficulty, and took just over three whole months to clear.
If my previous, albeit off-hand thought about the Difficulty timers was correct, then the estimated completion time would increase exponentially for each star of Difficulty.
For 1-star Contracts, they only took from a few hours to a couple of days, and that was with little-to-no equipment or preparation.
