Ranking System

[Charles POV]

Just as we were about to go back in, we waited for a chance to make a sneak attack. But from the looks of it, it didn't seem like we would have to.

Blaine himself was strong enough to hold his ground against his opponent. He was dead tired from all this fighting. His four opponents weren't giving him a chance to make a counterattack.

One of the opponents, some green bear creature, was going to use its paws to smack Blaine down to the ground.

With him being smacked, Blaine himself earned himself a concussion. He was still standing but barely.

"DON'T THINK YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE ME DOWN WITHOUT LOSING!!!"

He screamed out loud with one last ditch effort. The three of us felt the mana flowing into Blaine. Without me saying a word, we ran for it. None of us was stupid enough to stay here to receive the blow.

Getting away from the explosion, suddenly, the mana that we felt being absorbed by Blaine disappeared.

I then checked the field using my skill. Blaine and the four people had disappeared from the field. Did they get teleported out? That was good. I didn't know how destructive that explosion would be. Man must be crazy to do something like that.

"We got lucky that the other team had been teleported out."

Jasmine had a sigh of relief. Even if she volunteered to be a distraction, she didn't want to be harmed more than necessary.

"There is still one last person in this battle royale. Nene, you met her earlier."

Hearing what I said, Nene felt excited. She had taken some of Linsey's sadistic nature. Playing with her should be fun for Nene.

"Master~! Could you let me play with her~?"

Nene then came closer to me and was within kissing distance. We locked onto one another, and she looked at me with hope.

Her chest was leaning against me and looking at her. I couldn't reject what she wanted.

"Go ahead."

"Yay~!"

Nene gave me an aggressive kiss. It's unbelievable how less shame she has. I don't know if she knew this, but everyone outside was spectating us.

Jasmine, on the side, looked away, embarrassed by what Nene had done. With everything done, we went to where Claire was.

"You wouldn't harm a weak and innocent girl, would you?"

I would, but I wasn't going to say that. Claire had a wary smile and had some injuries from the battle she had fought earlier.

"You're the only one left other than us. Nene here wants to play with you."

"Play? Isn't that a little cruel?"

I shrugged my shoulders. Nene herself made that choice. What she is doing is her choice. Nene then walked up with a playful smile, one befitting a pervert.

"Ah! What are you doing..?"

With the face Nene is making, even Claire, who had no idea what would happen, feels Nene's evil intentions. Nene then walked slowly toward Claire.

"Nene, right..? Can't we talk about this..."

Nene then creeps closer to the flower girl.

"Wait... Please stop!"

After that session, we were teleported out of the battlefield. Some of the audience blushed at seeing what had happened, while some of the males were excited.

Claire looked like she was about to cry. Nene did a handful to her. I wouldn't be surprised if she became fearful of her in the future.

"Congratulations. I'm Agnus Ortiz. The lead organizer for today's event. I have high hopes for your future as one of our future pillars.

Agnus, the dragon man, came up and congratulated us. He had a professional smile once coming up to us.

"For the prize, you three would've to pick one of each."

So we would have to choose a different prize each. It would be complicated if there were an item that every one of us needed.

Nene wasn't that much of a concern since she wanted me to get strong. But Jasmine was different.

"Here are the three prizes. Pick one."

Agnus had three items floating up in front of him. One of them was a purple heart, I wasn't sure what heart it was, but it was a massive heart. I felt some resonance being close to it.

The next item on the list is the grimoire. This prize was evident to the eyes of being a top contender for being picked.

And for the final item, it's an orb, a colorless orb. Seeing all three items, my money-telling instinct told me to pick the heart.

"I choose the heart."

Without any hesitation, I choose the heart. I don't know what it was used for, but I felt the heart calling for me.

"Oh? Do you know what this is?"

"No."

"Could I know why you chose this? Out of the three?"

"My instincts told me to."

Agnus smiled with a sharp glint in his eyes. From the looks of it, he seemed intrigued by my choice.

"You have good instincts. This here is a dragon heart, once transplanted into your body. You would improve drastically."

I knew my money sense wouldn't fail me. I wonder how much I will grow once I get this bad boy--some people who heard what Agnus said were jealous of envy.

"How do I transplant it? I doubt I could do it any time soon."

"Don't worry about that. I would do it for you. Consider it a favor from me."

The word favor hurts me. But at least I could use it immediately and not worry about anyone stealing it here.

As for Nene and Jasmine. Nene herself got the orb. She felt the affinity she has with the orb. The orb could summon a rank-five monster, some cat monster. There is a limit of three uses, but they prove helpful.

And Jasmine herself got the grimoire. The one she got was different from the one I had previously got. This one was an artifact, and it would double the attack of any elemental skill. Her teaser would do double the damage. That's good, I guess.

In the end, everyone was happy with what they got.
