Ranking System

[Charles POV]

"Could you not follow us to school? I know you said you would observe me, but you're too high profile. I already have too many people barging into my life because of my rank."

After I took Reina home, Constance was with Nene, following me to class. I wish that she wouldn't. She was too high profile.

"Master is right~! You're too high profile~!"

Nene had agreed with me. I felt some anger in her but didn't voice it out. She probably had some idea what happened, considering how I brought Reina back to our room asleep.

"Besides, you would only stop class because of the student's countless questions."

Constance stood there silently. She had thought about what we said. She sighed, telling us she wouldn't follow. She also knew it would be troublesome if she just showed up.

Nene smiled victoriously, knowing that she wouldn't come. Constance felt her anger and stared at her silently.

"Master~! Let's go~!"

Nene latched onto one of my arms, forgetting what had happened earlier today. Let's hope that she keeps it that way.

"Nene, you don't have to drag me. We don't have to hurry."

"Nyehehehe~!"

I sighed, seeing how Nene got carried away. With Reina down for the count, it would only be us for the day.

Walking to class was more manageable, with my artifact that hides my rank. People wouldn't notice me as much. I guess people are labeled with numbers.

There were some students from another world. They, like me, also have their rank hidden.

While I had noticed this, a woman suddenly came crashing toward me. I stood there, letting her crash into me, which resulted in her falling to the ground.

"Ow, my nose..."

Her nose was in pain, she rubbed her nose, and after a while, she got up and looked at me.

"Couldn't you move out of the way?"

Excuse me, Miss rude fuck. Why don't you watch where you go? I was about to say that, but that would cause some unsavory spectators.

I sighed and ignored the girl. She wasn't worth it. Nene saw me walk away from her and followed me.

"Don't ignore me! You're a foreigner!"

That's racist, but I wasn't a foreigner, so it didn't bother me. I gave her a curse at one percent for her being a bitch.

"What a bitch..."

"You should've told that to her face~! Master~!"

We spoke about this when we left the area. It was good that the person didn't come to annoy us. Otherwise, I would've wiped the floors with her.

Entering class I got, everyone looked at me. Some were surprised that my ranking had disappeared but thought I used an artifact or something.

Seeing that I was sitting alone with Nene behind me caught the attention of others. One brave guy came over and asked.

"Is your fiance not here?"

"She is not coming to class today."

"Then do you mind if I sit here?"

"No. As long as she isn't, I don't care."

The person beside me smiled and sat down. People were staring at him, jealous of his position. It was incredible how he was so ignorant about it.

"What do you do in your spare time?"

My spare time? What do I do in my spare time? The first week is my training. The second week is traveling. And my third week is a party.

"I go with the flow. I will do whatever I feel."

Now that I think about it, who is this person? He's awfully friendly with me. Before I could ask for his name, our teacher arrived.

"Good morning, everyone! I got good news for some of you!"

Mr. Trek sounded excited once he entered the room. There were times when he was but never this excited. That means this news would also affect him.

"Ten of you will have a chance to explore a villain's trove. Ten of you and other class students will also join in."

"We'll be raiding a most popular criminal gang that has been a pain to our society. We will eliminate them now that we have a way to go there.

"Not only will this be a valuable experience for you students, but the reward will also be immense."

A criminal base? If that's the case, I could only think of the Renegades. What made them the top criminal gang was their leader.

Juan Clayton is sixth-ranked in the overall ranking. What made him special was that he was a criminal acknowledged by everyone.

Juan, like me, had an EX skill. While he had an EX skill, it was only a pocket dimension. It is roughly estimated that his pocket dimension is roughly the size of a city. He is also known as a hoarder who always craves power.

On paper, Juan is similar to me. He's a man that loves greed. He was also born with a good ability, and his starting condition is similar to mine. The only difference between us would be our path in choices.

"For those to join, you would have to be ranked within the top ten of the class."

The news saddened those who weren't even close. My seatmate was ecstatic hearing that. I didn't expect him to be pretty good around my class.

"While those who weren't given a chance to join. I hope you'll use this opportunity to join."

"Now I will call those that can participate. If you want to refuse, please tell me."

"Aidan Sawyer."

So that's my neighbor's name. The teacher called us up one by one. Wait... Why were there ten people and I wasn't called?

"Charles. You'll be given a special proposition. I prefer to talk about it privately with you. If you don't mind, I will see you after class."

I guess that's what you get for being overpowered. Reina was called but was away. I doubt she would miss this chance.

Mr. Trek, please don't disappoint me. I have a good opinion of you. I don't want you to ruin it for a stupid request.
