Chapter 30: Point System

However, before the two could move from the balcony, the sound of someone using a microphone echoed. "Ehem. Good Evening everyone." Lyca and Shen Qui turned towards the fountain. Both raised their eyebrow at the same time when they saw an unfamiliar man wearing a purple suit with pink neckties, standing by the fountain with a few students. "I am Young Master Xie and I am from the student council. As you all know, our positions are inherited so we have been in this school before the school year started to take care of things. One of the things that we agreed to have today is a point system. Nothing fancy just a silly point system that will constitute ten percent of your final grade, six months from now." He smiled, his phoenix eyes glinting with mischief.

"I am here to announce the mechanics of the point system which will start tonight. In this system, you can challenge anyone you want to. You can challenge them in debate, drawing, dancing, swordplay, musical instruments, martial arts, shooting competition, archery, you name it." He continued, his gaze roamed around the students. "If one issued a challenge today, it must be completed before midnight of the next day. No excuses. Each challenge will have the same rewards. Winner will get two points. And the Loser will have three points subtracted from their total points."

Gasps and whispers followed his words. Seeing this, a confident smirk could be seen in the man's face. "Once you reach zero or negative you will be kicked out of this academy, with no chance of returning even if your parents beg the school. The winner would of course have the opportunity to join the student council body and will get twenty million in gold." Another round of gasps and whispers followed. "An outsider is not allowed to know about this point system. You cannot tell your family about this as well. Refusal to follow the law will get you expelled and the school will ban your families from joining the school for the next ten years."

"Questions?" he looked at everyone.

"Here." A chubby man wearing a white suit raised his hand. "Are we allowed to challenge someone to gambling? A game of chance?"

"No, Young Master Ning. You cannot challenge someone to a poker. Only abilities that involve real skills" He looked at the chubby man in disgust.

"Can we have a bet in every challenge?'

"You can bet." Young Master Xie said.

"Life and death challenge?" Someone from the back raised a question.

"No. We will not take responsibility for anyone's death. Therefore you are not allowed to have life and death challenges inside the school. Of course what you do outside of the ten hectare school premise has nothing to do with us." He winked at the person who asked. "Are there anymore questions?"

"Can we issue a challenge to anyone?" Someone with huge eyeglasses asked.

"You can issue a challenge but you have to issue a reward as well. For instance you can challenge someone to withstand one shot of your newly made gun. People who can withstand that will win this challenge and will have that two points while you lose three. Additionally, you also have to give them another reward. Because of the peculiarity of the challenge, you can give them whatever you want. Most people would reward shares while some would use diamonds of equal value." Young Master Xie explained.

Lyca frowned at his words. If her guess was right, then this should be the exact reason why they created this crazy system. People were bound to make something, an invention. And they would need someone to test it. In that case, they could issue a challenge to everyone.

Young Master Xie continued. "The crux of the matter is that the challenge will last for twenty four hours. If you want to issue a challenge to everyone, it would mean you are ready to have points taken from you in case you lose. Example, if you have a total of twenty points and ten people will take your challenge. Out of ten, if eight people were able to withstand or fight you and win. Meaning you lose to eight different people in twenty four hours. So you will lose a total of twenty four points while each of them will gain your promised rewards and two points from the school. Now, twenty points minus twenty four points means you now have negative points. Meaning you have to leave." The man in purple started beaming. "So unless you are extremely confident that no one would be able to beat you I suggest you stick to challenging a simple person that you can easily bully." He snorted. "Did I answer your questions?"

"Yes, sir!" the man at the back became enthusiastic.

"Alright rankings will be released every Friday. Since today is a Tuesday, the first set of rankings will be released a few days from now. Tonight is going to be the start of this rule. Every academy teacher has already approved including the Director of the School. If you want to challenge anyone, just open the school app on your phone. I'm sure you don't need some teaching to do that, right?"

The young masters and young misses started laughing, the atmosphere turned light. Seeing this, Young Master Xie added. "No silly challenges like, I challenge this young miss to kiss me for two million diamonds. Anyone who issues a silly challenge like that will have five points taken from them. Check your student profile to see your total points. Each of you will be given ten points tonight. After that you can start challenging anyone."

"Last question." A woman with a crisp voice and blond hair raised her hand. "If three people decided to challenge Person A on the same day, what would happen?'

"Naturally, that is not allowed. If person one, two and three challenge person A on the same day, then person one will do the challenge tomorrow. Person two will do it the day after tomorrow. Person three will do it after that. And yes, Person A wont have any rest at all."

"What a cruel rule." Lyca noted when she heard the rule. This was designed to kick someone out of the school. She snorted.
