The Goddess Made A Mistake Again-Chapter 202 - Through Weakness

I asked the current Number 1 Ranking guy for a fight, a fight to exchange rankings… nonetheless to say, I was absolutely rejected.

"So you see class, no matter how much you try to overcook a rabbit, it will still be tasty." After getting rejected, a new teacher had come in for his class, so I had to stop and sit back in my seat.

"And if you add salt around the rabbit, just in the right amount, you will get a divine taste from it." The man, probably in his 40's, spoke as if expressing his own experience.

"The rich aroma from it, the lingering taste… the meat so exquisite… ahhhh!" He suddenly grabbed himself in excitement.

Regardless to say, this new teacher might be a red flag to talk to. He was teaching us how to survive in the wild, with the book 'How to survive in the wild – 01'.

Yeah… this era's studies were muuuuuch more easy to learn. So it wouldn't take long for me to learn everything and basically become a scholar if I wanted.

"Alright class, make sure to read up on all the ingredients needed to cook a rabbit and also add in basic ones that are needed in almost every recipe." He said, giving a flying kiss to everyone and leaving with a hearty laugh.

The flying kiss though, everyone avoided like it's the plague.

I turn towards the page, the teach indicated, wanting to take a look, 'Let's see how easy the book really I-'

"HOLY MOTHER OF GODDESS!" I flip around the page and see countless materials and work that are too much for my limited brain capacity to handle. "Just what is wrong with this book!"

"What are you talking about, Henry?" Wilson asked, taking a look at my book and verifying it, "It's the same as mine, what's wrong with it?"

"You mean you can't see the hundreds of ingredients named here? And what is even grass and cow dung doing as an ingredient… is this a joke or what!"

"Haha…" Wilson laughed, "Henry… if you think this is too much-"

"Don't even finish that sentence, Wilson."

Wilson finally showed his true image, "You would lose all your hair on book 2 and 3, that we'll get in the future."

'If this is how hard all the books are… then forget about passing the academy, I'm gonna have to retake the first year exams over and over again.'

I sigh and get up from my seat.

"Where are you going?"

"To challenge that guy."

"Again?"

"Yep" I nod and come to the first seat again.

Seeing me coming to him again, the guy's breath stiffened for a second before he ignored me.

'The nerve of him.'

"Hey"

"…"

"Hey, you listening!"

"…"

"Yoohoo, anyone home on the extreme deluxe ranking phase?" I scream out in his ear, finally getting a reaction.

"What do you want now?" The guy said, his eyes still glued to the survival book, occasionally he ticked off some good points.

"I want to talk to you about the challenge!"

"There's no challenge, I don't want to fight you."

"But you have to!"

"And what if I don't?" He asked, while finally gazing at me, "It's not like you can do anything about it."

The guy had black hair and a pretty good face. His glasses were the same as Jennifer's, just a bit heavier on the silver. He combed his hair on the right side, you could feel the aura of a great student coming out of him.

In a single word, he was the topper type.

I snicker at his words.

He was right… I couldn't do anything to him. Nothing physical.

The academy had rules about students not able to enforce a challenge on to others. The only way a challenge can be allowed is only when the two sides agree to it. Otherwise there would be no challenge.

If only I could entice the guy someway.

"So how about we bet on this?"

"What?" He asked, confusion etched on his good looking face.

"Hmm, you can bet anything and in my case, I'll just have your rank. How about it?"

"No!" He shook his head, resolute.

"Even if there's a blue ring on it?" He froze for a moment before shaking his head again.

"No amount of money or things would make me do such a stupid choice." He shook his head again for the final time, "Now, if you don't have anything important to say, please get out of my sight, the class is starting."

I look behind to see a teacher entering the room. I glance back at the topper and warn, "I'll be back!"

Then I return to my seat, denied from my privilege yet again.

"Again huh." Wilson said as I nod.

"Yep… the guy won't even take money when I offered him or bet in the challenge too."

Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.

"You know, if he didn't take free money on the first try… then I don't see any reason why he would bet on something he very well will lose."

"…Didn't thought of that." I say trying to think, what is actually wrong here.

In the novel, when Arthur tried to challenge the other higher ranks, they almost easily accepted and some even bet in it too… but that topper just won't want to fight!

Maybe it's because of me. With Arthur, they didn't know the outcome or most likely thought about easily winning. But in my case, that won't be so. The topper knew he'd lose if he fights me.

"But next time, It'll work." I say as a glint overcomes my eyes that Wilson didn't miss.

"Do you finally have a plan then?" I nod. "Henry… it's not anything physical right?"

"No, it's not like that. Besides even if it were, it's not that far away now is it? If he agrees to my challenge, then it's going to lead to a fight anyway."

Wilson noted that as a fact.

Now I waited for a while before going to him again. The guy sighed and was about to reject me but I say something unexpected.

"A Hundred Thousand Pounds"

"What?" He looked at me in confusion.

"That's how much your family is in debt, right Taylor." I give a pleasant smile.

Taylor Harris, the youngest son of the Harris family, coming from a line of Viscounts. He is a good fighter capable of many techniques and an even greater student. People like him should be on Class A. So you might ask what he's doing in the bottom of the barrel in F?

Even though Taylor is a great student, his family on the other hand isn't doing very much in the business sense. Their tailoring business has taken a downturn, their older son's that have been in the army for many years, haven't gotten any promotion and their debt was piling up as well.

Now, the plan was to use his family debt as blackmail or even encouragement and the academy won't have any problems with it.

They may have banned Physical damage but they said nothing about Mental damage. Actually, many knew about this rule and instead crafted specific ways to mentally attack someone and get what they want.

Taylor's face paled and he asked in fear, "Ho- How do you know about that?"

"How do I know that? Because they are in debt to me."

Yeah… I have a bank too.

"So what!" He hardened again, "What are you going to do about I-"

"I'll raise the interest rate. Even to the point that they can't pay it anymore."

!!

"And what do you think will happen when I don't get my money?" I whisper to his ear, "I'll get everything your family owns then anyway."

"So you have a choice."

"You can save your family from that future by just accepting my challenge."

"Or reject... and let them face the consequences."
