A few days have passed by since I met Tess. Livie, Serena, and I were wandering about in the streets.
"Did you hear? Each division has a top ten ranking for this year's youth tournament." Overhearing the conversation of a passerby student, what she discussed was a fascinating topic.
"It was posted everywhere around the town. Many people are interested in news like this." Eavesdropping, the three of us immediately searched for these rankings.
"Babe~! I bet you would be first in the ranking." Livie had confidently said proudly of my power.
"Charlie, it's not fair that both of you are lovey dovey." Serena had grumbled hearing Livie call me that out in public.
"I doubt I would be at the top rank. I haven't shown all my strength during these three months." Not to mention, my performance in Avaris could have been better.
"Serena's results would be even better than mine since she was still at the top after the exchange students had appeared." Serena had blushed from the compliment that I had given her.
"And besides, the ranking is only on paper. The ranking in the list isn't that credible." Hearing my response, they nodded, agreeing to what I had said.
"But it's still nice to see who you should look out for first." Even though Livie had agreed with my statement, the people on the list still had to be someone at least capable.
Finding that a ranking poster was on a bulletin board near a cafe, the three of us looked at the rankings.
Four posters were for each division, with the names and the face with information. Most of what was needed about them was in this poster.
Both Serena and I were on this ranking. That was to be expected. Otherwise, the poster here wouldn't have any value.
Tenth place was Bianca, a winged human that Tess had mentioned. She had blond hair and bright white golden wings on her back. Despite having bright colors on her body, she looked pretty mean-spirited.
"Serena, what's your opinion on Bianca? I heard from Tess that she was an exchange student at our school." Serena here had the most information, and asking for her thoughts was the better choice.
"Bianca? Hated that bitch. She couldn't stop yapping for a second. While she was good, no one in our class was exceptional. I could overwhelm her easily." Serena was confident when saying that. If Serena was confident, then she wasn't a problem.
Ninth place was me. I could see my golden hair and blue eyes. There wasn't any mention of me being part of the Solaris family. And it claims that my magic is fire related.
"Ninth place?" Livie was shocked by the results. Even Serena thought my ranking was a bit low.
"Seeing that my family name wasn't on the information list means that this ranking is only gathered around the time we went to another school."
"I got ninth despite showing less than twenty percent of my power." My results were pretty damn good, with me barely doing anything.
"Only twenty percent? Did you even try during your time in Avaris?" Serena was surprised that I barely used any power. She sighed, unable to say anything else.
"The only time I tried was when I was only alone with Livie or by myself." Serena had clenched her hands when I called "Olivia" Livie.
Eighth place wasn't someone either of us had recognized. Seele Bluet was the person who occupied the spot. Seele was a girl coming from the fairy race, living in the country of Evergreen.
She had bright blue hair that made her stand out. Her eyes were also bright blue which could attract the gaze of many. Despite her short height, her asset as a woman was pretty good.
Looking at her, you could tell what magic she could use. Seele could create water, something that could be deadly if used correctly.
"What are your thoughts on Seele?" I asked them to see if they could give their insight on her.
"We don't have much. People that live in Evergreen are mostly isolated from the rest of the world." Serena, who was knowledgeable, knew what she was talking about. There was no point in speculating what we thought.
The following two were surprised. Seventh and sixths were Ruby and Rebecca. They were somewhere in the top five but to think that they didn't make it.
"To think Ruby and Rebecca were that low." Livie was surprised by the results shown. She saw firsthand how they fought and quickly recognized that they were powerful.
"You know both of them?" Serena had asked.
"The four of us were in the same school," I replied before Livie could answer.
"Ruby has a rare magic that has two different properties. Both fire and destruction make it extra strong." I had told her the basics of what her power was.
"Not only that, she is emotional. The angrier she gets, the more powerful she is. If you want to beat her, finish her quickly."
"As for Rebecca, she is kind of similar to you." Serena's eyes widened hearing me say that.
"What makes us so similar?" She asked, wondering what made me think that.
"Personality." Livie had replied without any hesitation.
Before Serena could talk, I continued with my explanation. "Her magic is tricky. Even after knowing her for three months, I am still figuring out what her magic exactly is. She could either freeze time or skip into it."
"Rebecca's offensive power is her weakness. Suppose you could make a shield that could block everywhere in your body. Then her attacks would be rendered useless."
Rebecca's weakness was something she needed to work on. Otherwise, if she fought someone she couldn't hurt, it would be all over for her.
Telling what needed to be said, the three of us got to the top five of the list. Looking at the other four, I couldn't tell who they were.
