Chapter 225: Ways to rank up (1/2)

”You are Crimson Agila?” Asked the person in front.

Currently, there were five people in front of them, blocking them intentionally.

The person in front smiled and glanced at Cinde.

Cinde, on the other hand, knitted her brows. This guy was the guy she saw when she went inside the student council room together with Rea.

”My name is Prince Damian. Perhaps you remembered seeing me the other day inside the student council room,” Damian added.

Yman slightly nodded his head as a reply to his question. He was right, he remembered seeing him inside the student council room. ”Is there a problem?” He asked.

Damian's mouth extended into a smile before opening it. ”There's no problem. It just happened that I saw you coming. I thought I have to say 'hi' to a popular person.”

Yman was puzzled by his words. ”Popular? Who?” He asked out of reflex.

”Fufufu,” Damian laughed. ”You don't need to act low key. Everyone here already knew about you.”

”.....”

”.....”

”Popular?” Not only Yman was puzzled about it, but even Cinde was also. ”Yes, lost puppy,” said Damian to her, with a wink.

But Cinde did not notice it as she was staring at Crimson with admiration in her eyes.

Upon noticing their expression that says they have no idea about it. ”Fufufu,” Damian once again chuckled. ”It's about you being the new ranker,” Damian decided to fill them.

After hearing Damian's words, ”Congrats, Crimson!” Although knew that Crimson wasn't an ordinary person, she never thought that he would become popular in an instant. Who would have thought that once a person became a ranker they would become so popular inside the campus.

Yman thought.

'Ranker… could it be… the Training Pavilion?'

Anything aside from it, there was nothing else that he remembered connected to the ranking that he achieved these past days. But, was it that great of achievements that could cause him to rise in popularity? Yman doubted.

”Hm… I see. Do you mean the Training Pavilion?” He asked somehow to figure if his initial thought was right or wrong.

He noticed the person who called himself Prince Damian nodded his head.

”Regardless, I only came to meet you personally as a fellow ranker. With that achievement of yours, you can rejoice while you still can. Being a ranker give you so many benefits, but it also required you to participate in the Pavilion's demands—”

”What? Pavilion's demands?”

”Right.”

Yman didn't know about it. Could it be… they forgot to notify him about it? Wait… since it was the Training Pavilion, perhaps they only wanted him to achieve another success by successfully defeating another stage. Yman assumed.

But it seemed like Damian was able to read him. He added saying: ”One of them, and the most common one is to accept a challenge from a challenger who wishes to challenge you in the Virtual Arena.”

Yman fell silent.

'So a duel again, huh.' He thought.

Honestly, Professor Ronnie told them that there was another way of gaining points and ranks at a faster rate. But it also endangered their rank and points at the same time. The other way to gain points and ranks for their department was to bet their rank and points in a battle. There was this facility that was called a Virtual Arena, in this arena, every ranker could battle to bet their ranks and points.

They could choose either to fight in a duel, duo, and even a team of five players.

Upon hearing it, Yman thought deeply. If he wanted to buy the ingredients that Professor Ronnie needed to help them solve the miasma, he had to gamble with it. After all, there was no ranking they could lose as they were not in the rank in the first place.

So, the question is… how he made a bet? Or what to do to increase their rank? It was what Yman wanted to figure out. It was also the reason why he came here. He needed Rea's help.

He glanced at the person in front of him. ”I see, so a Virtual Arena, huh.”

Upon hearing his mutter, a glint briefly happened in Prince Damian's eyes. ”Itmust sound like a simple duel. But don't forget that anyone that you will face there is the same ranker as you. Each of them are not easy opponents. In any case, if I were you. I started to prepare myself because the battle of the rankers is not just a child's play. Fufu.”
