[Charles POV]
The week full of tests in the academy was finished. Today is the day when we can obtain our ranking in class.
Nene, Reina, and Montgomery were now heading to class. Not only would everyone receive their rankings, but these four thousand students would be expelled.
Reina and I shouldn't have too many problems. Like me, she also did well in her examinations. I couldn't help but smile thinking about the rewards we would obtain today.
With the rankings up, we could also redeem the rewards we gain for our school ranking.
"Charles, is the word reward that appealing to you? Everyone looking at you couldn't help but blush to see you smile."
"Did these two weeks teach you nothing, Reina? The things I will get wouldn't be too bad with how well I did."
"Master is right~! It wouldn't be surprising if he got first~! He is bound to get something good~! Especially something from this school~!"
Hearing what Nene said made me smile even more. The word reward is like a drug. I couldn't ever get tired of that word.
"Charles, stop smiling. You're going to make some girls here attack you."
Bantering with Reina and Nene, we arrived at class. The people already seated in class were mostly nervous. Everyone here wanted to be ranked and not expelled. Only the confident people here were looking forward to the result.
pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ Mr. Trek, our teacher, walked in without an ounce of expression. I don't know if he was doing this on purpose, but it's working if he intends to make some people nervous.
"Students. The results are in; unfortunately, some of you may be expelled. Even if you're expelled, I hope this experience won't hurt you but will make you stronger."
"As for your results. Please come up one by one to get your card. If you don't receive one, that means you're expelled."
For someone who tried to encourage the expellee, this method of expelling a student was cruel. Not only would they have the suspense of being expelled, but everyone here could see who would be expelled.
"I'll be starting from the bottom to the top."
"Billy Bob..."
Mr. Trek started to call the first person. The guy who was called sighed in relief but seeing him first on the list meant he was close to being expelled.
Our teacher kept on calling the names one by one. The students who knew their results were terrible and weren't called knew they had failed. Most of them had tears, while the others were disappointed.
"Reina Burgess..."
After a while, Reina's name was called. About ninety-five percent of the students were called, and my name should be up anytime soon.
"Charles Anderson, please come up."
Right after, Reina is me. That would mean Reina had achieved second place in my class. I was confident in being first. This isn't because I was overly confident but because of my overpowered skill.
"Charles, I would like to congratulate you for achieving first place. I haven't done much as a teacher, but I am proud to have a student like you in my class."
I didn't know what to say. Getting complimented like this was rare. I smiled brightly, making the teacher smile back.
"Mr. Trek, you shouldn't look down on yourself. Your lessons are engaging and easy to learn."
What I said was true. Mr. Trek taught me a lot about the world. Even if they weren't in-depth, they brought me a new light.
Mr. Trek looked like he was about to cry. I didn't want to deal with it, so I returned to my seat with Reina, Nene, and Montgomery.
"Master~! Let me see your card~! Small tits wouldn't let me~!"
"Stop calling me that in public!"
Nene's words had publicly humiliated her. She spoke loudly enough for everyone to hear. Calling her small tits had everyone looking at Reina's chest. I had given a silent prayer to Reina. Her anger was justifiable. Nene had taken this a bit too far.
"Nene, stop provoking her since you started this fight. No snacks for you for the day."
Hearing what I said, Nene looked like her life had just ended. A glutton like her losing food meant that it was like a death sentence.
"Master~!!! Please tell me you're joking~!"
It was a good thing that today's class was short. We were only called in to get our card. The expelled students were too occupied by their emotions to look at Nene scream.
Reina, on the other hand, couldn't help but snicker.
"Stupid cat, you get what you deserve."
"Small Tits... Small Tits... Small Tits."
Nene muttered Reina's nickname like a curse. They were like water and oil. I needed a way for them to get along soon.
Anyways what our teacher gave us was a card with our identity. A plastic card that included our picture and ranking.
Out of every student, I was ranked first, and out of that, 76500 students in this school had gotten their ranking.
Being first out of this many talented people meant something. Looking at Reina's card, she was ranked 213.
That's pretty good, but since I'm talented. I want her to rise in the ranks. Now that we got our card, we should be able to obtain our rewards.
"Mr. Trek, do I get any special privilege for being the highest-ranking student?"
Since he should have some idea, I asked the teacher.
"You get first dibs for anything. Also, the resources you want to buy will be reduced by half the price. There are more, but I'm not the right person to ask."
Half price for everything? Well, with the money I got from Tristan. It was time to go on a spending spree.
The fifty billion bucks will be put to good use. Going back to Nene and Reina, they were still fighting. Montgomery was spectating, afraid to join the fray.
"Stop fighting. We'll be going shopping."
"Shopping?"
It was time for me to rob a place.
