Chapter 379: ke’s first rank battle.


    ‘Just as nned.’ ke thought as all eyes in the canteen were now on him he moved back to his seat.


    ke’s goal was to make every 1st year student aware that he was going to be the hero that would fight against the tyranny of the 2nd year students. He had already gathered momentum from the previous day, so he wanted to keep it going.


    For his n to work, he needed a constant flow of bullying to intervene, that was why he had defeated the second years in the most demeaning way possible. This was to further disgrace them and cause them to take out their frustrations on other 1st years.


    [You are creating more problems so that you can solve them. That’s evil, but genius!] The system said with a proud smile.


    ording to the It’s exnations, being a hero was more of the view of those being saved. So as long as they didn’t know what was happening, and he kept on saving them, they would continue seeing him as a hero.


    ‘Although I am trying to create the problem, I also n on ending each case for good.’ ke nned on making each encounter with the 2nd year bullies a painful and unforgettable one.


    “Nice!” Brian gave him a thumbs-up as they continued to eat.


    .....


    ...


    After lunch, all students moved to their different specialization sses. Out of all specialization sses, it was only those offering forgemastery specialization that was not so excited about their ss.


    ‘Although I know he can’t change, why do I still hope?’ ke said to himself as a warp gate opened in front of the ss and the short but muscr Tacitus walked out.


    From his gray hair and beards, and the frown that was never missing from his face, nothing had changed.


    “Why is the ss bigger than usual?” Professor Tacitus asked, but he quickly recalled.


    “For a moment I forgot that a bigger set of failures had joined the ss.” Professor Tacitus hit 2 birds with one sentence causing everyone except the 1st years from showing any emotions.


    “I thought that I would have fewer people to handle this semester because of the beast tide, but it seems you guys are lesser disappointments. Especially whenpared to the bigger ones.” Professor Tacitus said in a contemptuous tone as he referred to the 2nd year students.


    “You are a Professor, you are not meant to say such things.” n Nystrom the current rank 20 protested, causing the 1st years to shake their heads in pity.


    “Minus 3000 points for interrupting me. Minus 3000 points for speaking without permission.” Professor Tacitus said with an unchanged expression.


    “...” n wanted to protest about the point deduction, but on seeing the unfazed expression of Tacitus he quietly sat down.


    ‘A scapegoat used as an example for the rest.’ ke inwardlyughed.


    “Our main focus this semester would be creating real magic weapons.”


    “During thest semester, we learned about the integration method and using normal materials to forge magical items.”


    “This semester we would start with handling and processing magical materials that amplify the effects of certain arrays, especially elemental array.” Professor Tacitus went ahead and gave the entire overview of the semester before ending the ss and leaving through a warp gate.


    ‘ssic Professor Tacitus.’ ke wasn’t surprised because, at the beginning of every semester, Tacitus never taught them anything in the first ss.


    ‘At this point, I feel like he really hates us and tries to spend as little time as possible with us.’ ke thought. “Or is there another reason we are not aware of?’


    [Nah] The system and ke said in unison.


    “6k points for what?!” n banged on his table in rage as he stood up.


    Throughout an entire semester, an average student got a total of 50k points. So subtracting 6k points on the first day was a very big deal.


    “Get the fuck out of my way!” n shouted as both 1st and 2nd-year students scrambled to get out of his way, but unfortunately, amoner had been pushed to the ground amidst the chaos.


    “Didn’t you hear me?! I said... get... the...fuck... out... of... my way!” n said as he continuously stomped the head of themoner.


    ‘That’s my cue.’ ke stood up and walked over to the noble.


    “You think you can beat me just like those fools?!” n Nystrom said in an excited tone because not only would he use ke to vent out his anger, but he would use him to put the 1st year students in their ce.


    “I don’t think, I know.” ke said with a smirk as he sized the red hair noble who had a simr physique to him but a bit shorter.


    “I challenge you to a rank battle.” Just before n could attack, ke clicked on his school badge to make the challenge official.


    “Head to the battlefield if you want to watch.” Instructor Zirrack who appeared in the ssroom warped both of them to the school battleground.


    The students who were in the ssroom all looked at each other before swarming to the battleground.


    On their way to the battleground, they spread the word about the event that was about to go down. Not only was this the first ranked match of the semester, but it was also ke’s 1st ranked match.


    “Who do you think would win?” This was the question in the mouths of every student.


    “ke of course, didn’t you watch the highlights of the team test where he wiped out teams of both 1st and 2nd-year students?”


    “That was only because of the circumstances they were in. Most of his team wipes were ambushes.”


    Every student had their own opinions on the oue of the match, but they could only wait and see the results of the battle about to go down.
