Ranking System

The class was now over, and I waited for my teacher to speak to me privately. The students from my class were leaving, and my neighbor continued to speak to me.

"Charles, let's hang out!"

He excitedly said, forgetting what our teacher had said earlier.

"Sorry, but the teacher wants to talk to me."

I appreciate that he was the type of guy to get along with anyone, but I would rather not have more people that I spend time with. I have something important to do after all.

"I see... Then I will see you later."

Aidan, seeing that I was busy, left the room. Nene, who was standing up, was somehow sleeping. There were multiple instances where this happened, but it's not like she needed to be awake.

"Nene, class is over. Wake up."

I pulled her body toward me, attempting to wake her up. Successfully making her awake, she yawned slightly and greeted me.

"Is class over?"

"Yes, but I still have to wait for the teacher."

After having some fun with Nene for a short while, Mr. Trek finally returned to the room.

"Charles, please follow me. We'll be talking with the principal about the deal being made. We would prefer it if you're the only one going alone."

Nene was dissatisfied with what the teacher had said. Before she made a big deal out of it, I intervened.

"Nene, go home first. I will come back right away."

I don't know why they didn't want Nene to listen in, but I doubt they would cause me any harm. It would be stupid of them to do so. Nene, hearing what I said, had her mood turned one-eighty.

"Ok~!"

Nene left, leaving me alone with my teacher. He gestured for me to follow him, and so I did. We made small talk and arrived at the principal's office.

"Principal Eryn. I have brought my student Charles here."

Mr. Trek knocked on the door, waiting for the principal's permission to let him in.

"Come on in."

The principal said in a pleasant voice. Mr. Trek opened the door and stepped in along with me. The office of the principal was the complete opposite of Linsey's. The place was overly neat, and the place was organized.

"Student Charles, I have been waiting to meet with you."

"I had also heard good rumors about the principal."

Eryn Caldwell, the principal of this academy. While he gets overworked, he is very competent in finishing his task.

"You should've heard about the news that your teacher has given, correct?"

"That's right. Students will be given a chance to raid Juan, the leader of the Renegades."

He nodded, seeing that I had some understanding of what was happening. If I said that I didn't know would Mr. Trek be in trouble because of it?

"I know having you alone would be enough to kill everyone in the gang, but this is also a chance for our students to grow with an experience like this."

"But wouldn't some students die because of this?"

"That's life. They're given a chance to grow stronger. We'll give the next best student a chance if they deny this opportunity."

"And besides, this is Brave Academy. The place where the top students are given a chance to grow. People at the academy will do whatever it takes to be at the top."

I don't have many close contacts with the students at this academy. If what Eryn said was true, I underestimated the students of this school.

"I understand."

"Good. As for what I want. I want you to participate in this raid and clear all enemies within the top thousands."

"Of course, this won't go unpaid. Not only would you get double the bounty of the heads of these criminals, and you will also obtain all of the loot of the people you kill."

What the principal wanted was simple, he wanted me to eliminate the threats while letting the students grow under the pressure of a fight.

"Is that all? I don't mind. I'm also interested in seeing how a raid will work."

"Then do we have an agreement?"

I shook his hand and agreed to the principal's proposal. We could've signed a gease or a contract, but we know not to cross that line.

"That is all. I'm sure you have something else you would like to do. I'll see you in two days."

With that, our conversation comes to a close. Mr. Trek and I left the room and were in the hallway. He then began to speak.

"Charles, do you know if Reina would join this raid? She isn't here, and I would like an answer as soon as possible."

"She will. She's busy at the moment. I will relay the news to her as soon as I see her."

Giving my answer, Mr. Trek seemed relieved. He needed to know everyone's opinion. Now that I think about Reina, I wonder how she is doing. What will her reaction be?

"Mr. Trek, I will be going now. I made a promise. Later!"

Without waiting for what he would say, I left the school. There I met the same girl that had bumped into me.

"Hey! It's you! You're the one that caused all my day to be horrible!"

How could someone be so rude without any awareness? That's her fault for being a bitch. She deserves a horrible life if she keeps that attitude all her life.

"Sorry, but I'm not your psychiatrist. I have something else better to listen to you."

She was about to blow up my ears with her anger. I left quickly without letting her talk. I might as well run back home now that I was running.

Arriving home, I greeted everyone that I saw. I opened the door to my room and found Nene messing around with Reina's unconscious body.

"Nene... What are you doing?"

"Master? Welcome back~."

Nene was speaking quietly. Reina was twitching uncontrollably from the actions that Nene did. It didn't help with what had happened last night.

Before I could stop Nene from doing what she was doing, Reina, who had been sleeping the whole time, woke up.
