Chapter 79: My performance in the assessment (2)
Same as last time, they gave bracelets, which would protect us and at the same time count the kills and assign points. The higher the rank and level of the kill, the higher the points.
The thing was we can\'t see how much others gained but defeating others stayed the same as before. Eliminating other students would give you half their points.
Those at the top of the academy really want us to fight each other since day one.
Competition is good but I feel that these events are creaking cracks instead of making the students bond. That was not good.
I have experienced a life before. So I wouldn\'t be offended by every act by these brats. My limit is far higher than these brats. Many of these kids had lived a luxurious life, from where they looked down on almost everyone.
Now suddenly they were treated the same as the people that these kids looked down upon. This already caused clashes among kids belonging to noble factions and kids who are from commoner backgrounds.
Due to Angela, the clashes in our Class were not visible but that wasn\'t the case for other classes.
Most of the top rankers would rather train themselves rather than waste time bullying others. Though they don\'t like the commoner kids that have entered 1-A, they didn\'t waste much time with them.
Sure there was gunpowder between them, but that was it. There were no physical alternations because whatever feud they had between them, they took out on each other during monthly class evaluations.
Most of the noble children in my class hated those commoner kids because of that fraud, Dorian.
I thought that he was a talented commoner, who would be blessed by the Heavens but I was wrong. He was a puppet as far as I can tell.
I read many webnovels, where the MC would get a system and become the protagonist of the story.
Whether the system chooses him either for a good cause or for an evil cause, the protagonist is a puppet of someone else. They think that once they get a system they become invincible and no one could defeat them but they were wrong.
The one who gave the system to them can cause a lot of damage to them. Even if they knew that at that point, there would be nothing that could be done.
I mean think about it. The person who could create such a system should have reached a realm far beyond this world. There is no way that the world would allow such an existence to exist if it has the power to destroy it.
The system is considered as a disturbance of the natural order of things in a world.
Anyway, that asshole tried to provoke me into initiating an attack against him. He thought he was clever. He provoked me again and again so that I would beat him up.
When I was busy destroying him, Angela would see me hurting a fellow classmate and I would end up in trouble but he was a fool that I would do such a thing in public.
My rank has reached Tier-4, and that means I can hear better than others. I heard that someone was walking in our direction while he was provoking. Even if there was no sound, I wouldn\'t have done such a thing, where one can easily find some evidence easily.
I have no idea how he got this idea. So I used Mind Probe on him later when we were in class and his focus was not on me. The thing was I had to cancel the probing as soon as I cast it because of what I heard in his mind.
I heard the word "System", in his mind. I had to get out of his mind as soon as I heard that word.
There was a chance that the system detected me but after observing for a while I concluded that either it didn\'t detect me or they were planning something more, because, after that failed attempt to provoke me, Dorian remained silent and immersed in his own training.
He would clash with other noble kids but kept himself away from me.
From how he acted that day at the Winter City\'s entrance or taking count of his behavior till now in the academy, there was no way that he would become silent just because his plan failed.
It was not like I beat the shit out of him and I didn\'t bear any consequences. If such a thing happened, he should be afraid of me and should be avoiding me. If he had avoided everyone, I could understand that he was trying to improve to beat me when he got the chance but that\'s not the case either.
He was improving which I can easily tell because of the huge difference between the ranks. Though he was regularly visiting the dungeons, the improvement he gained was far greater than what he should have obtained.
The system is possibly helping him to increase his strength fast.
There are certain systems in the web novels that help the protagonist improve their strength fast. They vary in how they increase the protagonist\'s power.
Some systems require kills. The more you kill, the faster you can grow.
Some do the Sign-In way. You have to sign in at certain locations or sign in daily to get various resources as rewards.
Whatever the system might be, the way he was developing, it almost felt like he was preparing for the dungeon test. Though the teachers didn\'t inform us till the start of the exam, it was an open secret.
Hmm, let\'s see if he has the courage to meet me inside the dungeon. System or not, I\'ll beat the shit out of him.
