Chapter 257: Chapter 257:Assembly [2]

While the cheers of the third-years continued echoing throughout the building, Liam and Ruby rapidly returned to their seats.

Although, you would expect the first-years to be mad Liam and Ruby hadn't won the event and had cost them points, no one said anything.

After the war, during the battle royale... they seemed to learn their lesson.

On the other hand, the second-year students returned to their seats under the shameful gazes and disapproving nods of their classmates.

As the cheering came to a close and all the students returned, the principal stepped forward onto the stage once again.

Staring at the area where the balance beam was, Principal Seraphina snapped her figures, causing a huge bout of fog to appear.

The fog colored a light grey, encapsulated the entire center of the multipurpose building, preventing anyone from seeing the balance beam.

A second later, the fog disappeared.

No longer was there a balance beam... but three gigantic podiums stood, each facing the stage.

Smiling, Seraphina paced around the stage for a couple of seconds before finally announcing.

"Anyone up for a game of trivia?"

"ME!"

"PLEASE ME!"

"CHOOSE ME, I'LL 100% WIN!"

Ignoring the cheers of the desperate students who wanted to volunteer and win individual prizes, Seraphina continued.

"The winners of the balance beam have received an award of...A FREE VACATION. That's right; on the academy's money, the two girls will get an all-expenses paid free vacation!"

Pausing for a moment, Seraphina allowed the students to gasp in shock before stepping forward.

Then, an overexaggerated voice, Seraphina said.

"FOR THIS EVENT, THE INDIVIDUAL WHO WINS WILL RECEIVE... A....TOP OF THE LINE PRIVATE AND PERSONAL CHEF FOR ONE WEEK!"

"...are they trying to tempt me...?"

Sighing, I shook my head.

I couldn't compete...right?

Who cared about a personal chef?

I was going to rob the principal's vault, where magical artifacts beyond comprehension were probably held!

Why do I risk it all just to win some stupid personal chef that I don't even need!? Right?

Though I tried to push the thought of competing down, it kept emerging and replaying in my head.

Inhaling, I watched closely as another teacher, who had long black hair and blue eyes, approached the bleachers.

Pausing for a moment in front of the bleachers, the blue-eyed teacher seemed to think for a moment before raising her hand.

Then, in a swift motion, she flicked her hands upward and pointed at the center of the bleachers.

"Dak, you're up. Win for us... or suffer the consequences. Just remember, I'm your teacher, so you're representing me when you get up there."

As the unknown student gulped and got up from his seat, I leaned back in my chair.

It was trivia anyway; I wouldn't have been able to win...yeah, so it doesn't matter!

Gaining some confidence from the cheers of the first-years behind him, the unknown student confidently sauntered down the stairs.

Approaching the end of the bleacher stairs, the unknown student raised his hands before cockily turning around. seaʀᴄh thё ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Waving his hands up and down, the unknown student smiled upon hearing countless more cheers.

Still facing the students, the unknown student, for whatever reason, stepped backward.

*BANG*

A second later, he overstepped his back foot and landed back-first on the hard floor of the multipurpose building.

"..."

Almost instantly, the cheering displayed was replaced with a deathly silence.

"..."

Staring at her student lying down on the floor, the black-haired and blue-eyed teacher simply sighed as if she had somewhat expected this outcome.

Waving her hands up and down, the teacher looked at the bleacher of first-year students before yelling.

"Anyone else wants to give it a try?"

This had to be a second chance!

This world's creator had granted me on... I couldn't pass up on it now!

Without any hesitation whatsoever, I reached over to Jin and grabbed Han.

Then, using my C-rank strength, which far surpassed the other students, I lifted Han up, making him visible even though we were at the back of the bleachers.

Then, with Han above me, I yelled out.

"ME! ME! ME!"

"ME!"

"..."

Noticing the student practically floating in the air, the blue-eyed teacher sighed before saying.

"Alright, you in the back, you're up."

Looking back at her student, who was still slumped on the ground, the teacher sighed before continuing.

"I'll take this one to the nurse..."

Jin, who had been staring at me with a smile upon seeing me lift Han up, exclaimed.

"I know you can win if you try your hardest, H-"

Han, now sitting back down, angrily glared at Jin and me.

"Don't bullshit me, you two probably had this planned from the start, didn't you!?" Enjoy stories on m_v lem|p-yr

In unison, both JIn and I shook our heads.

After pausing for a moment, Han continued and angrily exclaimed.

"I'M NOT GOING UP T-"

Interrupting Han mid-sentence, I pointed downward at basically every student in the first year.

All of them were staring at Han with expectant, jealous, and curious gazes.

Smiling, I patted Han on the shoulder and said.

"You sure?"

"Are you fu-"

Stopping Han mid-sentence, I forced a decently sized piece of physical corruption into his palm.

"You know, I wouldn't set you up for failure, right? Just trust me, alright?"

Pausing for a moment, I added.

"If you really don't want to go, I'll go for you right now. I'm sure they won't care if I go instead of you."

Sighing, Han shook his head.

"No...I still owe you for the battle royale placement rank."

Looking down at the physical piece of corruption in his hands, Han questioned.

"...and what exactly am I supposed to do with this?"

"Whenever it's your turn to answer, look at it. The answer will displayed on it. Oh, and make sure to cover it so people can't see."

Playing with the physical piece of corruption, which resembled black play dough from Earth, Han sighed before reluctantly stepping forward.

"If I lose, so help me god, Ren... you are so damn screwed."
