Chapter 189 Rankings



Student Rankings.

A basic way to motivate students to work harder while also expanding the strength of the academy.

Though it is also a method that basically discriminates against the people and makes the high-ranking students achieve greater lengths.

In any case, it is a matter of perspective from where you are looking at things from.

If you are a student of a higher rank, you would be happy with the things that were given to you as a privilege.

However, if you are ranked lower, either you will complain, or you will try harder to achieve a better rank, which will also determine if you are suited for such an academy.

That was what I had in my mind while opening the ranking page.

Because I knew I was ranked first, it was a sense of being above others and satisfying my ego while clicking the folder shown.

"Let's see how you do, my lovely main cast."

I mumbled and started looking at the panel shown.

--------------------------------------------((N1))

Looking at the panel that appeared right beside my face, a smile bloomed on my face.

'Wow, just as I had expected, everyone's rankings are slightly the same.'

Since in the game, the ranking was just as this one.

'Aside from two things.'

However, of course, there were some deviations.

'Now, firstly, Diana wasn't supposed to rank this high. What happened to her?'

I couldn't help but worry about this result.

Even though Diana also entered the academy and achieved a high rank, the results she got were significantly lower than this one.

'If I wasn't serious about the exam thanks to the rewards, I would probably lose. It seems my little sister is mad about something…. I hope she doesn't take her anger out on me.'

I thought with a smile.

Even if something happened to her, seeing these results, I can't help but feel a bit proud.

'But, aside from this, it seems the rankings of the main cast are still the same between themselves.'

In the game, the player didn't have a fixed ranking since, according to the performance shown in the exam, the result would change.

But that also leaves us with one simple question that I have been thinking about for a while.

If the game was an RPG and the player had the chance to affect the results, then what would happen if the world was created based on that game?

How would the main character behave?

Would he act randomly, or is there a base template for the main character to show how he would behave?

That was the question I had been thinking about for a while.

In the end, I came to one conclusion.

Either the main character is also a person that has a setting that I have no definite knowledge of, or the person that is inside the body is also another translator that was operating the body.

Since they are different from the novel-based worlds, game-based worlds would have this problem.

Considering such a troupe was pretty common, I didn't want to disregard that fact.

However, of course, I didn't have proof; therefore, assuming that was definitely the case would be the wrong thing to do.

Either way, we will see about that anyway, whether he has the knowledge of the game or he is just a normal citizen of the world since just looking at rankings is enough to see something has changed from the game.

And, if he were a person from Earth, then he would definitely try to understand the thing about me and who I am inside, which will make him make a mistake in the end. We will see about that.

Then what about the other characters?

For them, the rankings were mostly fixed, only to be changed on some rare occasions like you reject a female lead, and they would be hyped to destroy you, though this route was for those who wanted to try everything in the game like me….

In any case, the rankings for the main cast were pretty normal.

Since Celia was a magician, she had a pretty good academic record, just like Alicia. However, in a practical case, she would get a higher score thanks to the fact that the ice magic she controls has more variety in terms of offense than the light magic Alicia uses. ((N2))

As for Emma's case, she is mostly a knight, so her academic aspect is slightly weaker than others.

But she closes this with her strong fighting sense. Even though she is not good academically, when it comes to using magic in the practical field while fighting, she is a natural genius at that.

And then, here we have the sister of Lirienne, Selanne Glyndon, the elven princess.

Though she is ranked this high, I am pretty sure she didn't even move her body too much.

In the game, as a flashback, it was shown that the elves inside her island served her and let her eliminate others.

And here is her sister Lirienne.

Ranked 52.

'Just as I had expected.'

I thought.

Since, in a sense, she had improved rapidly in the last months, she was still pretty immature when it came to her magic and her dagger skills, and even this result was enough to show that she was befitting to her place as the game's villain.

And for the last case, here is my girl.

"Aliya. To think she has ranked 128…. It seems while I was absent, she still worked quite hard."

I mumbled slightly while smiling.

"Then, I guess a proper reward awaits her."

Even though I wasn't able to see her written exam results, I am pretty sure it was what made her enter such a huge rank.

'Since she is pretty weak, though, for the management department, it won't matter much.'

/KNOCK/ /KNCK/

Then just as I had thought, suddenly, I heard a knock on my door.

'Just in time.'

--------------------------------------A/N----------------------------

N1: Only the first ten people had their details shown in the list. And, of course, Callius could see other people that were between the numbers, but for the time being, I didn't show them to avoid over-info dumps.
