Chapter 57 First Day At The Academy 2



"Now I would like everyone to leave the training grounds with their homeroom teachers, only the recruits of the elite class are to stay behind", the guide said.

Afterward, all the students from normal classes began to move orderly. With their homeroom teachers, they were out of the grounds within a few minutes.

Then, the guide turned his attention towards Ray and the other recruits from the elite class. He said,

"Let's get down to the real reason why you all are here. First of all, let me properly introduce myself. My name is Howard Danes, you will be calling me professor Howard for your academic session, Now moving on to the next thing, The Rankings", saying that, the professor rubbed his hands and then spoke again,

"Ray Xanders, Nia Jhones, …. Sirius Brown…, Aliya Rose… Tim Barns", Like that, the professor called out 10 names and asked them to proceed to the stage.

Ray and the others from their previous team during the test looked at each other and went toward the stage and so did the others.

After everyone had reached the stage, the professor said,

"These are the top 10 of the elite students who got the position by their hard work and diligence during the test, though they got the first place, it's not final as from the remaining elite students you all could challenge them and they would need to accept at least one challenge to keep their position",

"The challenge would be a fight without any beast souls and weapons will be provided by the academy itself, other than that the fight would end when one or another person either surrenders or is unable to fight",

"Now, who would like to challenge these top rankers, in hopes of a better position and reward",

Listening to their homeroom teacher's words, the students couldn't help but get riled up. After all, many had performed badly during the test due to the beasts they had to fight, but most were confident against fellow humans.

It was because beasts were said to be stronger even on the same level as many had innate physical advantages also being the fact that the aura they released was completely different.

On the other hand, some elite students got admission to the academy due to their families being strong and them having certain privileges. These people were haughty and thought of themselves as the strongest, thus they looked down on others.

Ray, on the other hand, could feel a headache coming his way listening to the words of his homeroom teacher.

"It sure is going to be a long day", he thought

Slowly, the fighting spirit in the other recruits increased and many were ready to fight for a place in the rankings. But at this moment, Professor Howard came down with his words dispersing the spirit altogether,

"Now, lemme tell you all one more thing, one can not challenge someone more than 10 ranks ahead of them, and those who are not ranked would be able to fight any opponent of their choice, and losing would cause them to be ranked last",

Listening to this, some recruits had their expressions turning ugly while those who had joined without giving a test grinned.

After all, they thought of themselves as the best and would challenge anyone, not to mention that most of these students were heirs of rich families and clans where their upbringing was done in a way where they were the best.

The Professor continued,

"Now, the first to fight would be unranked, and remember, you could challenge only one person and the challenged has the authority on whose challenge to accept leaving without fighting is kit allowed so the challenged person has to fight at least once",

"Now raise your hands and point towards the person you want to challenge", the professor said looking towards the 12 recruits who didn't show a hint of fear and disdained everyone.

"I want to challenge him", a loud voice rang out.

Everyone's attention turned towards the person who spoke and realized that the guy was pointing towards the front of the elite students.

It took a bit of time for them to realize and when they did, many couldn't help but face palm themselves,

"This guy is going to die", they thought as the guy had done something foolish, after all, the guy dared to challenge Ray, who was the number one position in the rankings and the rankings were not for show, so people didn't go forward and challenge the number 1 on the ranking.

But the people were ready to watch a show but it seemed that the homeroom teacher had some plans for them as he said,

"Now don't go fighting the number one so fast, let's get over with other challenges before moving on with it",

The homeroom professor had a smirk on his face as he looked at the guy who had challenged Ray.

The guy said nothing and snorted, while Ray was indifferent to it.

He had scanned the guy and found out the guy was in the early to middle stages of intermediate-tier. Hence, even if the guy was strong, he was nothing to Ray.

Then, slowly other challengers also appeared, a guy who was placed at rank 15 challenged Tim, who was at rank 10. Tim also accepted the challenge and soon the fight began.

Clank!!, swoosh!!, clank!!,

The battle continued for a long while as Tim won the fight by a small margin. After all, Tim was a tank and his system worked best with a team while fighting alone, he only had extra strength while his movements and abilities were more focused on defense.

The guy who challenged Tim was a rather fierce fighter and was able to hold on for long but as the fight got stretched, the challenger lost its stamina while Tim was far from exhausted. Thus, the result became clear.

Next to fight was Aliya, she accepted the fight and after putting on a fierce fight, she lost. After all, it was known that she was a healer, and her fighting capabilities although better than most still lacked, not to mention the girl she fought had a style that focused more on stealth and agility.

A couple more fights happened and most were won by those who were challenged, allowing them to retain their rankings. No one fought much against Sirius as most who dared to do so we were scared the moment Sirius began his transformation and released his beastly aura.

Ray was also impressed by Sirius as the aura Sirius released matched that of an advanced stage of intermediate-tier.

This clearly showed the amount of talent Sirius had and also the fact that the system Sirius had obtained was of a higher grade.

Soon, it was Ray's turn to fight and everyone couldn't help but look in anticipation as they waited to see the strength of the person at top of the leaderboard.

On the other hand, the guy who had challenged Ray, walked up to the stage with a smug look on his face as his lackeys pushed around everyone in the way.

After reaching the stage, he looked at Ray and said,

"It should be your honor to fight me and face a defeat by me, the most talented individual of this generation and the heir of the Williams family, Ron Williams".

On the other hand, Ray just shook his head and said,

"You are delusional".
