Ranking System

Waking up on my bed, I felt something holding me. Something was behind me, and when I turned around, I found Nene holding onto me.

What time was it? It was hard to move with Nene being clung onto me, but looking at the time, it was already eight in the morning.

"Nene."

Calling her name, I shook her body, waking her up. With her awake, she opened her eyes and let out a yawn.

"Morning master..."

For a maid, she wasn't good with waking up. Maybe it was because she was part cat.

Getting up from my bed, I changed my clothes and prepared to make breakfast for the both of us.

Making mashed potatoes with bacon and eggs, breakfast was ready to eat. Still a bit exhausted, Nene had woken up from the smell of my food.

I had made a lot of serving just in case Nene wouldn't have enough. I didn't want her to look depressed from an empty stomach.

"Master~! Are you ready~!"

After breakfast, Nene and I brushed our teeth and prepared for class. Even though we were early, I would like to see what this school offers. We haven't explored much other than entering our room.

"Hey, did you hear? A student named Charles Anderson is in the second rank in skills and has recently transferred to our school. I wonder what he likes."

Overhearing someone talking, I didn't expect my name to be the topic. Nene, who had also listened in, couldn't help but giggle. Since my appearance wasn't public, the people talking didn't know what I looked like.

But overhearing them, I couldn't help but think that if my face got out, I would be the center of attention every time.

"Hey, isn't that Charles!"

"..."

I looked at the person who said that. He was probably one of my hundred classmates that I didn't know. But since that guy shouted my name, I have been getting stares from everyone.

"Master~! You sure are popular~!"

Nene laughed, unfazed by the gaze that had come our way. Was there no way to make everyone here stop?

With us attracting the attention of everyone, someone who looked like a student had come our way.

"Charles Anderson, I presume?"

The man who had walked up to me had asked for my name.

"Yes, I'm. Do you need anything?"

Looking at the guy had blonde hair and blue eyes. He seems like a fairly confident person. I don't know what he is like, but he wasn't meeting me for something terrible.

"I'm Kingsley Fisher, a member of the student council."

Someone from the student council? I didn't think I would meet someone from the student council on the second day of my arrival.

"The student council has invited you to be a potential member."

"We'll be waiting for you after class."

Before I could say anything, Kingsley walked away. The short conversation that we had already attracted any nearby students.

"Did you hear that? To think he would already be invited to the student council."

"Yeah... That's amazing."

"I'm so jealous. Why can't I be invited."

"You aren't even special. Of course, you wouldn't be invited."

Even though they complimented me, hearing what they said was audible was embarrassing. Leaving the area, we walked to class. Student council, heh? But what is the point? If there were no benefits, then I wouldn't need to join.

"Hey, Nene."

"Yes, Master~?"

"Do you know anything about the student council?"

"I heard that the student council has some authorities that most students wouldn't~."

"Then do you think joining the student council will be worth my time?"

I don't exactly have the information about the student council. For all I know, the student council could waste my time.

"Master~! Why don't you check it out? If it doesn't interest you, it's not like they could force you to join."

What Nene said was correct. Then all I would have to do is wait for class to be over and head to the student council's office.

With us arriving at class, some students were already in the room. Nene's appearance was noticeable, and because of that, they could easily recognize who I was.

I then took the seat where I was previously and sat there. Reina, who was beside me, was already in her seat.

Should I change my seat? It was getting unbearable for her to stare at me.

"Good morning."

After a while of staring, she greeted me.

"Good morning?"

"..."

This is awkward. We weren't the type to go out of our way to talk to one another unless necessary. And because of it, it made it awkward.

Nene couldn't help but enjoy this atmosphere. Did she garner some traits from Linsey? There were times when she enjoyed my suffering. Nene, I will remember this.

Before the awkward atmosphere came crawling in, our teacher arrived. Taking my eyes off Reina, I could still feel her gaze.

"Class is now in session, everyone! I would like you all to listen."

"Today's class will be about world travel."

That is an exciting topic to start with. But I can't help but wonder how someone would travel through another world. Yesterday's topic was about invaders, but how do they invade worlds?

"Does anyone here know what is needed to travel to a different world?"

The teacher asked, checking if anyone knew. Seeing that no one had an answer for it, the teacher continued.

"There are two ways to do so."

"For the first method, once you reach the top 1000 in the overall ranking, there is a chance you'll receive a token that will allow you to invade or visit a different world randomly."

So there is a chance for me to receive this reward? I wonder how much money it would cost to sell it.

"This method is risky, but since it is given to the top 1000, most of you shouldn't worry about this method."

That would be risky. Going to an environment you don't know is scary, and if the civilians of that country mistook you for an invader, it would be annoying.

"As for the second method. You would need a teleportation device already linked to the other world."

"Our world already has some connections to some other worlds."

"Organizations such as the Interdimensional Union Committee do their best to establish a close relationship to those other worlds."

Wasn't that where I was working for?
