Surviving As An Extra In Fantasy World Isn't Easy-Chapter 127 :Ranking[2]

Josh after giving a brief nod continued his speech.

"Now, coming on to the next, the students from rank 10 to 4 are displayed here."

Except for the Top 3, The names flashed onto the screen one after another.

1.

2.

3.

4. Rose Seyfried

5. Humphrey Befall

6. Tiffany Dearillole

7. Hailey Maceis

8. Jennette Tierney

9. Monica Crystal

10. Charles Warren

'So, this guy wanted to roast Charles this way for coming 10. That's why he called Charles names first and then displayed the list.'

Lucas sighed inwardly. If it was before Lucas could have given a thumbs up but now he felt bad. Charles's nature had changed and his rank was low because of Lucas. If he didn't follow Lucas's arrangement, he would be ranked in the top 3 for sure.

Lucas then stared at Parth who was originally ranked 5 but now his name was nowhere. However, in this case, he did not feel an ounce of guilt.

As he looked at the list again, a sudden realisation hit him.

"Wait a minute!"Lucas shrieked, startling Frederick, Parth, and Roan.

"Where is my name?"

He was confident that his kill count was enough to place him in the top 10 so why was his name not there?

A sense of uneasiness washed over him.

"I think you are ranked in the top 3."Roan spoke with a smile.

'That's even a bigger problem.'Lucas thought.

If he continued to kill with his gun, he could have surely swept out all mobs of 2-Star and even many 3-Star but he did not because he wanted to stay under rank 5 and he did not know how many would be killed by explosion so he played safe.

Lucas started to sweat as Josh started his speech.

"Before announcing the Top 3. I would like to make an announcement. The top 10 performing students would be sent on a trip to receive a blessing cast directly by the Saintess."

"Oh my god!"

"Holy shit!"

Josh's words sent everyone into a stupor.

A blessing and directly from the Saintess itself. This was a heavenly opportunity that would enhance their power and strengthen their body.

Lucas gave a bewildered gaze feeling things have changed way too much.

"Now coming onto the Top 3."

"In third place, we have Ezekiel Holmes."

Ezekiel standing up walked towards the stage gracefully in a dignified manner which was in sharp contrast to his rotten sullen expression.

His expression was dark as if he had stepped on some shit.

"For the Second place, we have the student having the current rank of the first-year, Frederick Frost."

Clapping echoed as Frederick walked towards the stage while giving Ezekiel an annoying smirk.

Most of the nobles who had tried to bring him down had a darkened expression seeing him walking.

"Now as we move on to the next. Let me tell you something. In my last 40 years of experience in Horizon, I have never seen someone who created mayhem by pulling strings and dismantling everything rising against the hierarchy of ranks."

Lucas panicked for a moment feeling a bad premonition well up in his heart.

"For rank one we have the student who rose against the norms. Welcome to the rank 1 Lucas Bright."

A hush of silence fell over the entire hall.

Sighing heavily, Lucas got from his seat, resigning to fate.

Everyone's eyes across the place turned toward him. For many, it was the first time they had seen such a guy so naturally they tried to remember him but nothing out of place came to their knowledge.

Before he was like an ant. In his whole life, a person must surely encounter an ant and take a moment to look at it and then ignore it. That was the case with Lucas.

Many might have seen him but none knew about him.

The guy walking across looked ordinary but those eyes were. The sharpness and indifference in those damn eyes were a menace that cast a nightmare on those who died by gunshot and explosion.

'Dual personality asshole. Just a moment ago, his eyes looked carefree like a free-spirited guy but in just a second, they turned into a brutal psychopath.'Parth scoffed.

Lucas was about to step on the stage when a loud sound burst out.

"Excuse me, Vice-Principal. I think there is a problem. How can a commoner bastard attain rank 1? What did he do?"A professor stood out, unable to take it anymore.

"Everyone had seen the footage. He rarely appeared in the battles. Except for Ezekiel, he hadn't fought with any."

"The guy killed them using external means, not by his own hands. This Battle Royal should be a demo of war on a small scale but we all know how it turned into a play of cat and mice. This was beyond the norm. I don't think a guy deserves this rank."

Lucas's eyes became dull for a moment. He had expected this to happen somehow. Among the ten, all of them were nobles of a higher class except him whose family was not even fit to be their servant in other's view.

However, pondering for a moment, Lucas said"Sir, I think professors are correct. I don't deserve rank 1. I think Frederick would be perfect for that. Just give me the rank 10."

It was a good opportunity so naturally, he wouldn't let it go.

Josh gave Lucas a mysterious stare.

"Shut up! You don't even deserve rank 10."The professors shouted.

'Damn, you! Do you think I stepped back because I fear you? I stepped back because I did not want to be ranked 1, you dumbshit.'Lucas cursed inwardly.

Staring at the group professor standing from their seat to oppose a boy, Josh's eyes became cold.

A greenhorn trying to question his judgement.

Ami facepalmed and made a holy sign. 𝒷ℯ𝓭𝓷ℴ𝓋𝓮𝓵.𝒸ℴ𝓶

'How long had it been since I watched such a show.'An old man caressed his beard while watching from the sidelines.

'Damn, you! Did you guys cut your softballs and grow balls of steel?' Herman's heart quivered thinking about the scene that was about to happen. Even if he wanted to stop him now, he wouldn't listen, rather he would be beaten for speaking up.

'I can only burn incense for peace. At least I can do this much for you.'Herman shook his head in pity.

"Professor Reid!How unfortunate!"

A sigh escaped from Josh's lips.

Before anyone could understand what Josh meant, a loud bang echoed.

BANG!

Leaving an afterimage, a body crashed onto the wall breaking it apart.
