Chapter 2079 Ranking
Among the 30 left-wing acolytes, the majority were occupied by seniors.
Out of the 16 newly recruited first-years, three had managed to advance to the west wing: Rajh the tiger bloodline, Rurik the Pyro Bison, and the mysterious legendary raven bloodline. The remaining 12 were all ignited in a fiery rage by the senior's insults.
Despite the brewing tension and anger in the hall, Shinta remained stoic and indifferent.
She couldn't help but agree with the sentiment that many of the first-years were merely filling the slots. In her view, the primary motivation behind this strategy was to receive a larger portion of benefits from the academy.
Some might speculate that the new head instructor was cunning enough to employ this shameless strategy. Her aunt believed that such a move would only raise threats to the half-blood community in the academy. However, for Shinta, the only fact that mattered was that this strategy meant there were a lot more contribution points distributed among the acolytes.
As the other acolytes continued to engage in heated arguments, Shinta maintained her composure and took deliberate steps toward Brianna, the female instructor in charge of distributing the weekly contribution points.
With a polite demeanor, Shinta approached Brianna and made her request for her weekly share of contribution points. The wolf magus raised her eyebrows, visibly taken aback by Shinta's sudden appearance and request. It was clear that Brianna was bothered by the fact that Shinta had been absent for some time and was now seeking her share.
Despite her irritation, Brianna reluctantly acquiesced to Shinta's request and handed over the weekly points. This behavior wasn't uncommon in the top hall, where acolytes with exceptional talent or powerful backgrounds often received special treatment. As one of the lowest-ranking assistant instructors, Brianna had limited authority to refuse such requests from top-tier acolytes.
Reluctantly, Brianna handed over the allotted weekly points to Shinta. However, to Shinta's dismay, the amount fell short of her expectations.
[1000 contribution points received]
"What!? Only 1000?"
Shinta's surprised reaction gives some satisfaction to the female instructors. She then explained the rule established by the head instructor regarding the distribution of contribution points.
The battle raged on for over a hundred clashes, and as it reach climax, Shinta's determination shone brightly. With a final burst of energy, she seized the opportunity to turn the tables on her opponent, launching a flurry of strikes that caught the ape acolyte off guard. With a resounding blow, she delivered the decisive strike, sending her adversary crashing to the ground in defeat.
Her triumph was met with mixed reactions among the first-
years and seniors alike.
However, to the surprise of everyone present, Shinta directed the same haughty comment toward the red tiger acolyte.
"You all can see... a rank 8 defeated one of the seniors, I think, they are not that tough!" she proclaimed, fixing the red tiger with a meaningful gaze and a chuckle.
Shinta's bold declaration echoed throughout the arena, eliciting a mixture of shock and indignation from the senior acolytes.
The red tiger acolyte's face contorted with rage at Shinta's words, his pride wounded by her dismissive attitude. He lashed out with a string of expletives, his rage fueling his desire for retaliation.
"Bitch! Fight me now!"
Shinta remained unfazed by his outburst. With a subtle smirk, she delivered a cutting retort
"Are you stupid? Not only am I still in rank 8... I am also tired from the last fight..." she remarked, her tone dripping with sarcasm.
The tiger acolyte's anger reached a boiling point, his fists clenched in frustration as he seethed with indignation. Yet, despite his fury, he found himself unable to refute Shinta's words.
With a casual shrug, Shinta said. "Alright, if you insist... I am willing to do another fight... but make it worth my time... Let's say 5000 points," she declared.
