Ranking System

Since I'm going to work there, does that mean I will travel a lot? I mean, I don't mind. If I'm safe, something like that won't bother me.

"These two methods would make world traveling possible."

"On the other hand, selling them would be more profitable if you receive a reward like this."

"I heard the price of these things could go for billions. You could easily earn more resources selling them."

By hearing what the teacher said, greed couldn't help but fill my mind—billions worth more than my yearly pay.

I couldn't help but grin sweetly, having the thought of gaining a token. It wasn't just me; some students couldn't help but dream of getting those rewards.

It looks like I learned something new again. Jasmine was right. There were many lessons where I learned something.

A few more lessons later, and class had finished. Before I could leave, Reina, my seatmate, grabbed my arm.

"Is there something you need?"

"Do you have any plans for tonight?"

I didn't think she would be that bold to grab my arm. Her blank face makes it hard to tell what she wants from me.

"Sorry, but I have a meeting with the student council. Have a good day."

Even when I told her I would leave, her arm was still grabbed onto me. When is she letting go?

"Could you let go of my arm?"

Dealing with her exhausts me greatly. Her stoic face was unnerving, and I could never tell what she would ask.

"Young Miss, would you let go of his arm?"

Reina's aide then stepped in.

"Young Master Charles, if possible, could you meet Young Miss later?"

"I don't have anything planned in mind after today. We could meet tomorrow."

Reina then let my arm go. Should I curse her? While she hasn't harmed me, she is still troubling me. There was no need to rush, but I will keep this in mind.

"Master~! You sure have your ways with women, don't you~?"

"You know that's not what happened."

Nene tried to tease me, but I shook the thought out of my mind. I then made my way to the student council with Nene.

This place is stupidly large. It took us ten minutes to go to my class from the student council office. Nene and I walked into the room, and four students were sitting down.

"Charles Anderson?"

"That's right."

"I'm Erin Hanson, the student council president."

Unlike Kingsley, who radiated confidently, Erin was as still as water. Erin, the student council president, was at the 5240 overall rankings.

His rank was higher than mine when I started to get my rank. Not bad for a student council member.

"Kingsley here has already sent you an invitation to the student council, so what will be your answer?"

Erin got straight to the point. That was something that I could get down on. But that wouldn't mean I would join right away.

"What benefits would I get if I joined?"

"Benefits?"

Erin and the other three student council members were surprised by what I asked. What? Do they expect me to join without any?

"Your reputation within the academy will be well known."

I don't need my reputation to be higher. It was already high enough and had already been troubling me. And with my rank, everyone would be bound to notice me.

"You will also get priority to use any of the school's facilities."

That wasn't something that I cared for. The school only cares about one ranking. If I wanted something from the school, they wouldn't reject what I wanted unless it was unreasonable.

"Is there anything else?"

"There is, but the others are only minor benefits."

"..."

From what he said, there wasn't much that I could gain. There wasn't any reason for me to join.

"Then what will I be doing as a student council member?"

"You'll have to set expectations for the student, and for any problems within the academy, you will have to sort them out."

What kind of shit is this? Looking at the other three, two were girls, and the other was Kingsley. Observing all four of them, they seem to care deeply about one's status. Now I could see why they joined.

"Sorry, but I will have to reject your offer. I have other things to do."

I don't think I will get along with any student council members. I would rather not get in trouble with these people.

"Is that so? Then if you change your mind, feel free to come by."

Since we were done with this whole business, I made my way out of the room. Erin took what I said pretty easily. But the other three didn't take my rejection as lightly.

Well, it doesn't matter what they do. I don't care what they think as long as they don't mess with me.

"Master, you're too popular~. What next? An invitation to a date~?"

"Oh~ right! That's tomorrow."

Nene was too energetic for her good. I needed to punish her for being too cheeky.

"Master, are you ready for today's practice?"

I couldn't help but groan when hearing the word practice. Yesterday was something that I wouldn't want to go through.

While I had experienced pain many times, it wasn't something anyone would want to go through. I thought my painful life would be gone with my high ranking. But I guess I was destined to feel pain.

"Hey, Nene."

"Yes~! Master?"

"Are there any potions that could increase my physique during training?"

If I'm going to suffer from training, why don't I maximize the benefits of training? I had money but could earn more from using it, even though I was greedy for money.

"Yes, there is~!"

"Could we get them for my next training regiment?"

"If you want~!"

With that in mind, I will order a training enhancement potion for my next regiment. Upon arriving at our house, we began where we had left off.
