Ranking System

"Don't think of this as a punishment but an opportunity. While the people at the bottom will be expelled, those at the top will be rewarded with prizes worthy of your performance."

Ever since I got my skill, the word reward has been everywhere. Is this what it feels like to be lucky? Maybe gods do exist.

And to prevent Reina and me from being unlucky, I had always set my skill on us to have zero misfortune value, which means that we will never be unlucky.

"After this examination, the school itself will create its rank. The overall ranking will be irrelevant since not everything in the overall ranking is useful in this school."

"The higher you score, the more privilege you will get. There are about eighty thousand student's in this school. That means four thousand of the students here will be eliminated."

Eighty thousand... That is a lot of students, and for four thousand to be gone is a pity. But a new ranking system? How will it work for me?

My skill is my only asset, but how will I use that to help me? I find it too dangerous to use my skill unless I kill the students here.

I haven't tested my skill enough to use it to its fullest. So, I'm a little worried.

"For the first test, you'll fight monsters from another world. And to make it fair, you'll be fighting monsters with the same strength as you."

"Your exam will begin in twenty minutes. Use this time to get ready."

The teacher went out a bit, with some students leaving to do some last-minute preparations. I didn't need anything since everything was on my watch.

"Do you need anything before we start?"

"No, like you, I have everything on me."

Sometimes I think she reads my mind. But seeing that we had everything ready, we waited for the test.

And just like that, twenty minutes had passed. Everyone who had run off came back, and the time for us to begin our exam began.

"Now that everyone is here, we will head to the gym."

"With these twenty minutes, I hope you used your time wisely."

"Get up and follow me. We'll head to the gym now."

Following the teacher, it was weird. There were about a hundred teachers, and with all of us here, we formed a large crowd.

Not only a large crowd was formed in our class, but the others as well. Some people around my class were trying to get to know me, but with most of them having motives, it was hard to speak politely.

"Reina... How do you deal with this?"

I muttered, only to be heard by her and our aide.

"You'll get used to it. You have to. After all, you're engaged to me."

Reina smiled cutely, but to me, it was cruel. What she said is correct. I would've to get used to this. Not only will I marry someone from a famous family, but my overall ranking would get my attention even without wanting to.

It didn't take us long to arrive at the gym. But man, this place was huge. This place was like three times the size of my mansion.

The teacher from every class was getting everyone sorted. It didn't take long before a hologram above the air started to pop up.

"Good day, everyone. I'm Eryn, and I'm the principal of this school."

Eryn is a man with curly dirty blond hair. His eyes are blue, and with his glasses, he sure looks like a movie villain.

"You have already heard what your teacher said, and what they said is true."

"Our sponsors want this school to create an elite group, not wasting time on people without much potential."

"Anyways, all of you'll be fighting once. And all of you will be scored by how you fight. Killing or knocking down the monster faster will give you a higher score, and losing will lower your score."

One battle? That's less than I thought. Considering that there are about 80,000 students, it would take a while for everyone to finish. But how long would it take for us to fight?

"Nene, could you buy me some snacks? I got the feeling that we'll be watching the fights of many students. And I need something to do to pass the time."

"Will do, Master~!"

"Montgomery, could you also get me something?"

"If that is your wish."

Nene then ran off with Reina's aide and left Reina and me there. With how big the place is, everyone here made themselves comfortable. The bright side is that we'll see how everyone would fight.

"I know this may be late to ask, but do you know how to fight?"

During the attack, all Reina did was run. I haven't seen any of her combat abilities. It would be worrying if she didn't know how to.

"I might not be insanely overpowered, but I can hold my ground."

My worry would be pointless if she were confident enough to say that. With the match beginning, fifty students started the test immediately.

They were transported to a different place and were in an arena. Looking at how the students fought, most were reasonably even in terms of power.

This would be a suitable training device seeing how the monsters are even. The only way to win this fight is to overcome your limits.

Looking at everyone fighting, talents of a different kind could be shown. While they weren't experts, most of them here have some capability showing that they deserve to be here.

The actual rate of this exam is approximately eighty percent. Most people had won but were drained from using most of their stamina.

People who won quickly were exceptional, while those who lost were beaten up. I wonder how the monster will be matched against me.

Will they have an overpowered skill like me? The thought brought shivers to my mind.
