Rankings
The courtyard we busy this time around. Children of about my age filled the place all looking at the big boards placed on the walls. Some were nervous and hopeful, while others, like me and Celestine, came here with full confidence. We were only really worried of where we stood in the power rankings in truth. Celestine dreamt of toping the table, but I that read the novel knows that that is just wishful thinking. Rea will top the table followed by Weiss, below them comes Sin, then Celestine, but the last two can change since I'm here. I'm quiet confident in my ability to surpass them.
This time we came with Cvela too. Me and the girls pushed through the crowd to the golden board as soon as we arrived. The boards all had different colors and the golden one was for the highest rank. "Tch I didn't come first," Celestine said pouting.
You don't think the sky is vast and the heaven twice that? I snickered in my mind.
"At least you came fifth right?" Cvela consoled like a good slave, no a good friend. These days I don't know which one she's. It's all up to me I guess.
"Still..." Celestine scowled. "Who talks of first five; isn't it first three? And who's this Rea Firelock? I was hoping I'll come second below prince Weiss or at worse third below Sin Highvoid. But those two surpassed me and an unknown person appeared.... plus Sainty too,"
I was staring at the board too in a gloom mood. This is the rankings with their main class and scores beside the names;
1) Rea Firelock (Priest) [502 points]
2) Weiss Windgone (Mage) [434 points]
3) Sin Highvoid (Mind) [400]
4) Saint Coldfire (Knight) [393]
5) Celestine Coldfire (Mage) [390]
6) Scars Swornhalf (Spirit) [321]
7) Derilis Van Sowlki (Mage) [310]
8) Kviresha Van Sowlki (Mage) [278]
9) Vosoki Van Sowlki (Mage) [254]
10) Mercy Vist ( Read ) [224]
I had wanted to pip Sin to number three on the list. I guess I would have done that if I had used mind as my main class at the exam and took the corresponding test. But as I said before that's my trump card, I did rather not reveal it this early. I could have also used only the emotion reading and emotion altering part of my powers to mask the main part but.... I did rather not risk it. Besides, what's the fun if I can win every fight before it even starts? I did rather I toil with the knight class incase I grow overconfident and meets someone powerful that I don't know the name of one day. Plus even among the people I know the name of there are those I had high doubt I could control, like Viktora and my father, and they're also others I know for sure I can't control, like king Alford.
It took Sin his life to test that one up in the novel. It was quiet the funny scene.
So in short. My mind powers is not all powerful. While I could defeat almost anyone, the almost was the problem. When I first discovered my powers I had dreamt of mind controlling people bit by bit to form a slave empire of sorts. That way I could be safe and could pursue immortality in earnest. But the problem was the two kind of people I will encounter; those with reading abilities and those I can't control. Don't even get me started on the Curtains too. If someone like the king catch wind of what I am doing I'd be dead. Moreover that's an inefficient way to control the world. I did rather be a mastermind and use my power only when necessary, that way is more efficient.
Whichever, I have gotten attendance in the school, in the end of the day that's all that matters. I still have to keep my eyes on any potential plots by the Highvoids though; plus I have to figure a way to prevent Viktora from killing me when she finds out I had mind controlled her daughter, In the fight Against the monster too, even if it wasvto save our life at the time I doubt my aunt will care; all that I have to do somehow and I had no idea how.
Maybe I am overthinking and should only cross bridges when I am there. For now me and girls left the school to get our stuffs back to where we'd be staying for the next few years.
