Staring at the shifting rankings, she blinked her eyes in confusion. The ranking in battles happening this year had been quite chaotic.
All of this was quite unusual.
Currently, only the Student Council and Vice-Principal Josh could see the ranking. Seeing the way scenes had been playing out, she was sure that the old man would be laughing holding his gut.
Focusing her attention on a certain individual, she shook her head.
"This guy is a snake. On the surface, he appears like an innocent harmless guy but just look at what he has been doing."
Though she was criticising him, there was a soft smile on his lips.
Lydia, the chief maid gave a bitter smile seeing Julian's refreshed expression. Pouring out tea, she tried to ease her mind"It proves that His Highness's choice is the best."
"Who knows?"Julian spoke with a sigh.
The large screen that had been showing the progress mostly focused on the important battles happening there and unlike the small screen she had, it couldn't change the focus so most of them were unaware of things happening in the background.
First Frederick showcased his flag to lure everyone out. After drawing aggro he disappeared. Others disguised themselves as him wearing the same robes and wearing a wig roaming around.
All of them coordinated properly and stayed in a closer radius so that two of them didn't appear at the same time until now.
Frederick had the flag for the first half only which was passed to Parth and then to Rose in the second half. Meanwhile, Charles and Lucas trapped the two rivers and planted some sort of trap that she did not know.
First, Frederick and others led everyone to the other end of the virtual world and then led them back to a valley near the river.
All of this was possible because Frederick was the bait. Class A-3 used others' hatred for Frederick to lure them into a spot.
"Out of 790 students,408 are still alive. Except for Class A-3 and A-5, most of them have lost half of their students and many classes had been present in a single spot."
"Did you want to pit them against one another? But what will we gain by doing this? They would kill one another and get points. As for the flag, there is no guarantee that flag bears would appear."
Julian, who was observing the scene with confusion, suddenly frowned seeing a boy appearing on an earthen embankment that had been built by Lucas and Charles previously.
.....
While under the cliff, there was a chaotic battle. On top, a boy appeared wearing a cap that fluttered in the air.
A horn sounded from above that drew everyone's attention.
After blowing the horn, Parth flicked his hair trying to act suave and cool that drew everyone's attention.
"Behold this sight and prepare to experience the fright."
"The mighty hero had appeared."
On the other side of the rocky tower, Lucas's expression became pale.
Seeing Lucas's ugly expression, Charles looked through the binoculars.
Over the earthen embankment, stood a boy wearing a red cape and giving a suave look, posing like a hero.
"Isn't that Parth?"
Charles rubbed his eyes and looked at it again.
"Why is he posing there like a hero?"
At that time, Lucas's communicator rang and he heard Parth's voice.
[Hey, let me pose a bit. I am sure you are not in a hurry to detonate this, right?]
[So, let me act cool a bit. I will shout some good pick lines that will make the girl's hearts tremble and after I step back, just blast this thing to add a cooling effect.]
Charles who always maintained a blank expression hearing Parth's words screamed inwardly.
'This mf.'
Veins bulge over his face. He had to work his ass off to build those huge embankments. He had drunk litres of potions to refill his mana. His taste buds had been destroyed and he had been feeling so nauseous that he wanted to vomit.
If this was real life, he would have died of mana poison for taking so many potions. He did all of this but this fucker wanted to take the credit.
'Isn't this guy forcing me to act as a villain now?'
Lucas, whose expression darkened as if he had stepped on a shit, took a deep breath to calm himself down and closed his eyes.
Taking a long breath and opening his eyes, he screamed violently"I don't give a shit so just die asshole."
Without wasting he pulled out a red button and clicked it.
Parth who waited for Lucas's reply suddenly heard a beep sound and what followed this was a chain of explosions.
BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM
"Fuck!"Cursing aloud, Parth jumped away in a panic trying to hide from the water current.
The sound of a loud explosion reverberated that drew everyone's attention. The whole cliff shuddered.
On looking up at the cliff, a large trail of dust rose into the sky.
Taken surprised, they wonder if a fight is going on above them. Maybe the boy who acted cool might be fighting someone.
Their interest just lasted a moment and they went back over each other's throats again.
It was then everyone's expression suddenly turned stiff hearing a loud rustling sound surging towards them.
"What the hell?"
After a moment, all of them screamed in panic seeing a strong current flowing down the mountain like a flood.
The strong currents of the water carrying large amounts of debris swept everyone to the ground. Many tried to flee while many jumped into the tree trying to escape from being swept. It was then another chain explosion resounded and when they turned their head towards the left, another source of water fell.
The might of both the water current uprooted the tree and while coming down it carried pieces of rock that slammed into the students while drowning them.
The two sides had been blocked by the valley and all of them were pushed away towards a swallow region.
In the end, while some hung onto the tree others drowned in a shallow pit. However, at most three or four died while many were still safe with some minor injuries and bushes.
Cough...Cough...
The students drenched in water, tried to get up while coughing out the water that had entered their nasal passage.
"Oh, my God! Just whose idea is this?"One of them muttered.
"I don't know who is but if I ever found that person, I will sla...POP
Before he could finish his sentence, something sharp passed through his head. And at the very next moment, he fell to the ground with a thud.
"Ahhh!"
"Kykkk!"
The students around shrieked in panic seeing the student drooping down. Some mustering their courage walked forward to observe his condition.
Looking at him, they found a small hole in his forehead with something struck on it.
As soon as they saw the scene, their hearts were filled with unease and dreariness. Before they could hang off the situation, they were showered with a drizzle of fire.
