Ranking System

Two days passed, and today would be the day we would start our raid. I informed Reina about the event that she would participate in.

I would've told Constance, but I had planned not to include her in this raid. There were also some changes to her once she had woken up.

She is now more clingy and has a bit of an addiction to physical contact. On the bright side, she felt less bothered by Nene and was now more cheerful.

Over these two days, I prepared Reina for the best. She was going to the raid, I would protect her, but I didn't want any accidents to occur.

In these two days, I had prepared her for the best item, they were costly, but I had filed a receipt to their family. Now that she was prepared, we were ready to go. Nene and Montgomery would stay behind for the day.

"Reina. Are you ready?"

Reina was distracted by touching my body. She locked her arms against mine while rubbing her body on me.

Maybe I shouldn't have fucked her too hard. There was a new set of worries appearing in my head. I couldn't help but sigh, knowing that she wasn't listening.

"Reina! Are you ready?"

This time I shouted her name, which caught her attention.

"Sorry, you smell extravagant. I'm ready."

"..."

She had said this the last few times when she had done this. I don't believe Reina is a dog, but it wasn't too far off with how she acted.

We left our house for the designated area where we'll all depart. All student's that were recommended will arrive at the school courtyard.

About seven thousand students were in this raid, and those who tried to sneak in and weren't invited were punished.

The people leading this raid had given us thirty minutes ahead of time to prepare and wait. When the time was done, the principal began his speech.

"Teachers and students! Today will be the day we unroot the crime organization known as Renegade."

"A few days ago, we found a student with the skill to bypass the pocket dimension of Juan Clayton! A plague like him deserves to be killed. Not only is he taking up space in the ranking boards, but he is also stopping the development of us people!"

Eryn continued his hate speech toward the man named Juan. He riled up the participants of today's raid and continued to do so.

"We'll officially start this raid!"

As soon as Eryn said that, the space around us started to distort. Some students had panicked seeing this but regained their composure once they knew it was a skill that had teleported them to a different dimension.

We had been transported directly, and I wondered how valuable this skill was. Transporting thousands of people was no easy feat, but a student had this capability.

Using my skill, I found the direct base. The base was massive and could be the same size as an average city. I could see why this skill could be considered an EX rank level.

In my search, I found something interesting. I found slaves. Even though the ranking system had appeared, slaves were still illegal. To think Juan here would've thousands of slaves. I pitied them.

We were teleported to the edge of the pocket dimension, and by the looks of it, Juan himself knew that something had happened.

"Principal Eryn, Juan knows that we've arrived."

I decided to tell him directly. The option of us attacking stealthily was now gone. Instead of a raid, it has now become a war.

From his expression of Eryn, I could see that he had expected this. Since I spoke out loud, the surroundings heard what I said.

Most people stayed strong, while some cowered. The principal had looked at everyone with a determined expression.

"As Charles had said earlier, the criminals now know our location. We have to prepare for the attack."

"Charles, may I ask you to eliminate the threats?"

Wanting to raise the morale of the students, Eryn asks me to eliminate anyone too strong for anyone here to take care of.

"Sure. I will be going on ahead. Reina, take care. I have something important to do."

Reina looked like she was going to cry. We haven't separated since that night. Sorry, Reina, I want to comfort you, but I want something.

I disappeared from their sight in a blink of an eye.

[Juan POV]

My mood couldn't help but worsen. News about an attack on my dimension had spread. Some of my men tried to run away from this mess. What cowards, they were useless.

I stopped more people from running by commanding my officers to kill them. I knew this was a losing battle, but I won't go down without resistance.

I had heard from my sources that Charles Anderson had participated in this battle. I had no way to fight that monster. Is there any way for me to stop him from killing me? My ranking may be high, but my fighting ability was lower than I would like it to be.

Thinking of my next move, I could do only one thing. I had read reports about the past of Charles Anderson. A man with so much potential, yet so naive.

With his power, he would have gained so much authority. But he refused to do anything like that. His past was similar to mine, yet our paths were so different.

Maybe, just maybe, I could convince him to join me. This was a gamble, but I could convince him to join me with his naivety.

"Everyone! prepare for combat! For every person you kill, I will reward you!"

Sending my men to their death, I used them as my decoy. What should I do to make Charles not kill me in an instant?

He was similar to me. Greed was one thing that I had thought of. Going to my treasure room, I will wait for the kid named Charles to meet me.
