A week had passed by since I went to the spike competition. It was the final week of our stay as exchange students.

We would have to leave by the end of the week, and many talented student mages would be extremely busy.

Starting next month, students from every school would have to prepare to earn a spot to fight in the school tournament.

I would have avoided this tournament to stay safe but considering my family\'s circumstances, it was impossible.

While the rules still need to be out. Everyone was still excited by the prospect of being the best. Earning a top spot would help you earn resources by being talented. But it\'s also dangerous for people who don\'t want you to grow.

The class was in session, and Ms. Colorful would make an announcement. I hoped it was nothing too concerning.

"As a teacher, it was wonderful teaching all of you." So why does it sound like it was her last day doing so?

"Today will be the last class I will teach for you exchange students." Oh, it was the last class she would be teaching.

"For our final class, we would be doing a class battle. Like our first day, we will check how well you fare against your peers." So, Ms. Colorful here would examine us before we leave.

How cunning, collecting one last piece of information before we leave. It didn\'t matter to me. I don\'t plan on trying in this battle.

From what I had observed from ranking alone, I would be at the top. From there on, would be Ruby and Rebecca coming second.

After Ruby and Rebecca would be Gold, Sonya, and Jane, other than those five, no one else was worth taking.

Unless someone like me hid their true power, which was unlikely, I would be surprised by this event.

"Charlie, are you going to try?" Livie had whispered only for me to hear.

I shook my head in denial, telling Livie I wouldn\'t try. There was simply no reason to do so. If I did, I definitely would have a big target on my back.

Going to the school gym, our final class had officially begun. From what I could tell, everyone here was going to try their best.

Before everyone fought, our teacher had to explain the class competition\'s rules. Unlike before, I don\'t think I could use the excuse of being an odd number of students to avoid the battle. If Livie had to fight, she could easily surrender.

"To determine who you will be fighting. Everyone would be picked randomly." How random is random?

"This would be a tournament rule, and the winner would keep fighting while the loser would be out." The rules were simple to understand. It didn\'t take much thought to know how this was going.

"To motivate all of you, I will personally give the top three winners a prize." I wasn\'t tempted to try before, but now a prize would be added to the mix.

I needed to know what our teacher would give before considering what I would do in this class competition.

"For third place, I will give you three rank two pure mana crystals." Was she serious? If I obtain this, Livie could be the third rank by the end of the week. Every student was mentally drooling at the prize, and there were two more.

"Second place would be given an artifact. The artifact is a shoe that could teleport you 100km once every week." This was something a person must have if they needed to escape from a pursuer.

Not to mention, it would take a lot of work to get to our current level. Therefore, while this prize was appealing, I prefer the third-place prize.

"And finally, for the winner, you will be given a phoenix pill." I had heard that a phoenix pill was costly. Everyone who knew what it was, was shocked beyond belief.

A phoenix pill would heal any person that was close to dying. It could also regrow any missing limbs regardless of any condition.

What was the teacher thinking when she decided this would be a prize? Was Ms. Colorful extremely influential?

I wanted to win the prize, but it wasn\'t something I could have. Winning would be enough to paint a target in my back, but the prize would get anyone killed. Rebecca was the only person who could be safe from winning.

Fuck, I had figured out Ms. Colorful plan. How ruthless of her. If any of us somehow won, we would be killed without questions.

Ms. Colorful was here to get rid of someone who could beat Rebecca. Avaris\' relationship with the country will worsen even if we die at most.

Third place was my goal for this competition. If I had to, I would purposely have to get myself injured.

I was not too fond of the prospect of it, but some sacrifices have to be made. Livie would heal me if the worst outcome happened.

With everything done, everyone went to the side of the gym. The competition was about to start, and everyone was going to do their best to win.

Two classmates of mine had been picked to fight. Livie was one of them, and the other was Rebecca. This was totally "random," by the way.

"Give up, please." I didn\'t want Rebecca to beat Livie up just because she couldn\'t fight.

"How lucky." Some of my classmates murmured when Livie was chosen as an opponent. Everyone here knew that Livie couldn\'t fight, so everyone wanted Livie as their first person to fight.

A countdown appeared when both of them went to the center of the gym. "I surrender!" Livie had shouted immediately when the battle started.

It was no surprise when Livie did so. No one wanted to get hurt for no apparent reason. Rebecca had already predicted the results, but all she could do was sigh and go back to the side, waiting for her next battle.
