Chapter 52 Battle Royale

"Huu..." Nathan furrowed his eyebrows while looking at himself in the mirror.

Name: Nathan Reckmoon

Level: 25

Race: Human

Quality: Basic (High)

He had reached the 'Good' quality before he summoned Anubis. But because he sacrificed a lot of his Ena, he ended up going back to the basic quality. When he last absorbed the core, he reached that quality at level 30, which symbolized the reason Fenrir transformed at that level.

This was his concern when he knew about the soul contract. But after he summoned Anubis, his worry shifted to his ability instead.

"I have about 340 Ena. I can use Deadly Claw about fifty times, but the problem will be the bullets. Each bullet takes 5 Ena, so I can only have 68 bullets. In a battle, I would probably need more bullets than I expect and to combine it with the Deadly Claw, I might exhaust all my Ena."

Fenrir asked, "Leave it to me. I can handle all those opponents. Even if your classmates come at us, I'll make sure to defeat them."

"Don't worry. I have my healing ability as well. If you are injured, it's fine to rely on me." Anubis nodded in agreement.

"There is one problem though." Nathan raised his finger. "Since this is a battle royale, there is a high chance that people will team up with each other to take down a stronger opponent. Depending on the objective this time, we will need a different plan."

"Is that why you didn't ask Selena earlier? With your current relationship, she would probably agree if you propose to team up."

"Indeed, but what if the objective doesn't allow us to team up? It'll just make the plans we have come up with go down the drain. Hence, I choose to wait until we know the context of the battle royale." Nathan explained.

"Do you need my ability? I can lend it to you for just 10 Ena per day." Fenrir smirked.

"I can lend you mine for 9 Ena per day." Anubis harrumphed.

Nathan nodded. "Alright. I won't make it hard for you. Thank you for telling me, Alisha."

Alisha smiled wryly. It was a shame that she couldn't help him because Vivian had asked her to do so. "Please get a good rest for today, young master."

After closing the door, Nathan's expression turned solemn. The information had allowed him to make a decision. "You guys should stop fighting now. I have a plan."

Just like Nathan, other students were planning to get the best score. Jason already said the top scorers wouldn't be guaranteed to get the top ranks this time.

Hence, they had a chance to grasp it.

Selena lowered her head, thinking about something.

Risa, who was next to her, couldn't help but say, "Personally, I think that it's better to team up with him. I know that you don't want to be reliant on him, but if you don't get a good score, you might not be able to escape your fate."

Selena didn't say anything. She only extended her hand as if telling her to better suck her blood instead of giving that opinion.

"Selena." Risa crossed her arms, feeling pretty frustrated.

"I will consider it. If I'm the one asking him for cooperation, I'll end up being too reliant on him, considering I have owed him quite a lot. I want to escape from my fate, but not at the expense of others." Selena shook her head.

"I have enough blood for tomorrow's battle royale. I don't need more tonight," said Risa as she disappeared.

Meanwhile, Rudeus glanced at several students next to him. "Tomorrow. We'll dominate the ranking. It's a battle royale, so that means everything is allowed. We'll defeat everyone and get all the top spots. No need to give it to the others.

Those students nodded their heads.

Rudeus, on the other hand, took a different approach. Instead of the straightforward tactic like the others, he preferred a little underhanded trick. If he couldn't even achieve this, he wouldn't be worthy of the second prince title.

"Have you prepared it?"

"Yes. Everything is finished, your highness. No one will be able to get the top spot other than you."

"Good. I don't care who will be among the top, but I can only be the only one who is at the top." Rudeus nodded while looking at the dark sky.
