Ranking System

"I would also like to go out alone."

The other person, apart from Lance, is Nora Everett. Nora Everett, the seventh rank. Like Lance, she also wanted to go alone.

I don't know about Nora, but she seems like a lone wolf type. Her harsh tone could make anyone in this room shiver.

"Is there anyone else?"

Only two people rejected Felicia's plan. She asked if anyone else wanted to go alone. Since Felicia asked, I will also raise my hand.

"Sorry, but grouping isn't my specialty, so I would only go with the people of IUC."

My words caused a lot of commotion. As the strongest person here, they wanted me to babysit them.

"Don't worry. I will do my job. I can even kill their top three in an instant."

What I said is true. If they did show up in front of me, I could wipe them off the face of the planet. The others didn't seem too convinced about what I said. I didn't care if they didn't believe what I said. They would see what I could do sooner or later.

No one here could say anything once I said my piece. They wanted to complain but didn't voice anything.

"Are you sure you can back that up?"

Felicia was the only one to say anything. Unless I can prove it to them, Felicia would get off my back and let me do what I want.

Since she wanted to see if I had the skill to back them up, I used my skill on everyone in the room except for the three people with me.

Everyone was surprised by what I had done. They all came crashing down to the floor, unable to get up.

"See? There's no need for me to stay in groups. If I wanted to kill all of you, you wouldn't even get a chance to see it."

Not even the top ten of our world could stand up to my curse. Releasing my curse, everyone stood back up. Everyone was displeased by what I had done, but like I said earlier. They can't do anything about it. The looks that they're giving me would pressure anyone if they cared about public image.

Linsey was chuckling at what I had done. Linsey being the sadistic person she is, laughed at their misery. Of course, she tried her best not to show it as she didn't want to make enemies here.

Nene, on the other hand, had hearts in her eyes. She loves it when I show people my dominance, even in bed.

Seeing that I won't stay with the group, Felicia stopped bothering me and continued to talk. Lance was looking at me with a sharp glint in his eyes. Did he want to fight me?

"I would also like to step out of the group and follow Charles."

"..."

With four people from the top ten against going Felicia's idea. Only three were left. Most people were surprised by the decision made by Constance. But when they remembered that I hadn't used my skill on her, they made a connection that we knew each other.

Felicia could only sigh at this predicament. More than half of the strongest people here had decided to move alone--especially the two strongest.

I have checked out the remaining two of the top ten for the rest of this meeting. Jamil, who was in tenth place, has the face of a total pushover. But with his rank, he shouldn't be.

Then we have Ricardo, my target to kill. Ricardo has this cautious air around him. I thought he would be a confident scumbag from Kurt's story. He said I was similar to Ricardo, but he's nothing like me. Twenty years would change a person. Maybe he mellowed out and decided to live a safe life.

In the grouping of Felicia. She, along with ninety-three other people, will stay together. The rest of the people thought staying together would be a good idea.

There weren't many things to talk about. Most people here already knew one another and their skills. Everyone would bring their supplies, and the reward that is given by the system would be theirs.

With the meeting over, everyone was beginning to leave. There was one thing that I had to say before a person I wanted to talk to left.

"Old bat. Your poison is ineffective against me. Do try harder, but I doubt that was going to work."

That's right. That stupid old hag tried to poison me. My dragon heart made me immune to any curses and poison. So the fourth rank person here was unable to do anything to me.

Everyone heard what I said, as I said that out loud intentionally. Everyone knew I was mocking her, and Felicia, for the first time, had shown any emotions.

"Later, old bat."

Before she could blow up, I bid her goodbye. Linsey wanted to laugh at her face but decided to do so once we left. She can't afford to take such a risk.

"Charles, you crack me up. You made an enemy out of her, but I doubt you care."

What Linsey said was correct. To me, Felicia was someone replaceable on the ranking boards. I knew how powerful I was. I'm still surprised that our world is still in the first rank, even if I'm this strong.

"You three could get back by yourself. I'll see you three in two days."

Saying so, Linsey has teleported back to her office. Only three of us left, and we had to ask Constance to drive us back home.

Getting back home, I thought about the people going through the invasion. Even when I told Felicia that I would kill the top three, I never said when.

The participants were definitely going to die, but how many? I'm not a good person. There is no reason for me to help anyone from my world.

Like I said about Felicia. Everyone else in the room is replaceable. Even if they die, it won't affect me in the slightest.
