The laughter of the three had not yet stopped when a loud crash rang out. The person in front of Man En flew backwards in a bizarre posture and slammed heavily into the wall.
“First one,” Man En said calmly.
“You bastard! Do you know who we…?”
But before he could finish, his head was pulled by a tremendous force and collided with another person’s head. Instantly, a sharp pain shot into his brain, and he felt the world spin. Then Man En grabbed the ringleader by the collar and lifted him up.
“Hey, hand over your points, unless you want to keep getting beaten!”
“You… who are you exactly?”
“You’re asking me?”
A hint of amusement appeared on Man En’s face.
“Just a person with extremely poor magic talent.”
Those words were a brutal blow, basically stating that the three of them were worse than useless.
“Remember this…!”
He tremblingly handed over the invitation letter, and Man En unceremoniously emptied the points inside.
After doing all this, he looked up at Yi Laisi on the podium, only to find that she had already taken out her magic staff and was staring at him with rapid breaths, clearly in a state of shock. ‘Most likely she had misunderstood and thought he was going to kill them, right?’ ‘Recalling his own demeanor just now, it did seem a bit too brutal.’ ‘Ah well, better go soothe her first, since he still needed to build a good relationship with her.’
But in Yi Laisi’s eyes, Man En suddenly vanished eerily. The next moment, she only felt a hand gently stroking the top of her head.
“Don’t be so nervous, Teacher Yi Laisi. I don’t plan on causing you trouble. By the way, where is the place to exchange points? I’ll go take a look first.”
After pointing out the way to Man En, Yi Laisi somehow let out a sigh of relief as she watched his departing figure. Looking at the three people lying on the ground, she grew more and more alarmed. ‘What kind of person is this Man En? For a moment there, he really intended to kill… and that ominous aura…’ ‘Anyway, I’d better report the situation first. I’m only a temporary teacher after all; there’s no need to get involved with such a troublesome guy…’
…
Man En walked toward the point exchange area. Along the way, many people still became envious upon seeing his points. Whether freshmen or upperclassmen, he treated them all equally and beat them all down. In his own words: “Just one speed bump after another.”
In the Matthews Territory, Man En thought he had no stats, only mechanical tricks. Only after leaving did he realize what a hard life he had been living? Originally, he came to the academy to scrape together a certificate, but in the end, he gained a lot of confidence. And as his points continued to rise, the number of people daring to compete for them grew fewer. But Man En didn’t really care, since he already had over 3,000 points and wouldn’t need to worry about them for a long time.
[Congratulations! You have risen to 4th place on the point ranking.]
?
Man En took out the invitation letter that had announced it loudly, completely confused. The people around all stared at him with looks as if they were seeing a monster, murmuring among themselves.
“So this is me… becoming famous?” ‘But I really can’t blame myself, can I? If someone wants to deliver themselves to me, I have to oblige them.’ “Sigh, it’s really hard to stay low-key…”
Since no one blocked him anymore, he quickly arrived at the point exchange area. Taking a rough look, the items available for exchange covered almost everything needed in the academy. However, most of them were books.
“So points are basically an internal currency? Too bad there’s nothing I need right now.”
In the end, he only spent 50 points to exchange for a one-month meal ticket.
“Student, it looks like you don’t have a suitable magic staff or weapon. How about exchanging some forging vouchers? After all, during the martial combat exam, not having a weapon will put you at a disadvantage.”
Hearing the service person’s introduction, Man En was a bit tempted. However, he found it strange that the academy did not display these so-called forging vouchers openly. As if she noticed his hesitation, she quickly explained further:
“These forging vouchers are only available for exchange by the top ten students in points. Each class is limited to ten vouchers, and each person can only exchange for one.”
“Then after I exchange for one, how do I use it?”
“Sorry, I cannot disclose that. However, this forging voucher will guide you. What do you think? Want to exchange?”
Upon hearing this, Man En looked at the forging voucher requiring 1,000 points and lowered his head in thought. ‘It sounds extremely rare, but is it worth the value? And given this academy’s style, these things can probably be fought over, right?’ Sensing several magic fluctuations staring covetously at him from nearby, it confirmed his thoughts. ‘Using this forging voucher as bait to lure out the big fish wouldn’t be a loss.’ With that in mind, he smiled and said:
“Alright, I’ll exchange.”
The moment he said that, his points began to drop rapidly. At the same time as he took the forging voucher, several figures that had been lying in ambush rushed out. Sensing the extraordinary fluctuations from their equipment, Man En revealed a pleased smile.
“This forging voucher really is a good thing! Too bad they have probably already exchanged theirs.”
“I say, have you figured out how to split it?”
Man En glanced sideways at the four without care, looking somewhat provocative.
“That can wait until we get the forging voucher!”
With that, the four simultaneously pounced on Man En.
“Oh? You have some brains… but not much, I suppose.”
Man En stood there, his body already clad in Divine Light.
“Ground Shrink: Extreme!”
His aura surged fiercely. Even though the four realized something was wrong, it was too late. In just one exchange, they were sent flying and completely lost consciousness.
“Sorry, when I said split, I meant your points. Though you can’t hear me now anyway.”
After a satisfying feast of points, Man En’s score reached 10,000. At the same time, the invitation letter broadcast sounded again.
[Congratulations! You have risen to 2nd place on the point ranking.]
?
“Only second place with 10,000 points?”
Man En couldn’t believe his ears.
“How many points does first place have?”
Just then, he sensed a huge magic fluctuation suddenly appear.
“36,000 points, plus two forging vouchers. Do me the honor, newbie?”
“Oh?”
Man En slowly turned around and looked at the tall, burly man before him. So it was Rank One Big Brother.
“Then let’s… have a little spar.”
Though his face still held a playful expression, his body was already clad in Divine Light. ‘This number one ranked guy was definitely not as simple as he appeared.’
