First place?

First place?

With the arrival of the demigod, the whole place quiets down, with everyone focusing their attention on him.

This time, however, he didn't hover in the air and came down instead.

Only when the place was silent did he speak and address us.

"Due to the mishaps that happened during the college exam, and the damage caused, the exam results were delayed to this day".

"And before we start announcing the participant's results, I would like to thank the remarkable participants that helped in defending against the attacks of the beast tide and preventing more damage than what is already caused. Once again, I thank you on the behalf of others and me for helping". The demigod said.

After hearing what the demigod had to say, I felt appreciated. I don't know if lily and the other prodigies of the world powers feel the same way since they have demigods serving them in their family and probably won't feel a thing if one thanks them, but I am different.

Am a nobody that came from a no-name family. So having someone at the top like a demigod thank me made me feel appreciated.

After saying his word of thanks, he continued. "Since that is taken care of, let's announce the results of the exam or rather show you the results." He said.

Immediately after he said the latter part of his sentence, an unimpressive hovering ball, appeared out of thin air and display 10 huge holograms with the names of at least a thousand participants on each hologram.

With anxiety building up in me, I checked the holograms in search of my name, and to my despair, I didn't find my name in any.

While all this was going on, I heard a chuckle and saw Callan coming in my direction with a sinister smirk by the side of his lips that he tried hard to hide, but I could see it, this bastard was laughing at me.

"Hey, you lowlife", he said when he got close enough that only I could hear him. "When Your master is speaking, you get on your knees, do you hear me?"

At this point, I felt the true meaning of humiliation.

But what I hate more than this bastard, is to be a coward and deny my part of the bet.

But I will never bow or knee to this bastard. But someone was angrier than me and that was lily.

With her hands raised, she gave Callan a hot slap without holding anything back.

So even if she's weaker than him and can't win a fight against Callan, don't forget she's still a level 18 evolved mortal and that slap was with her whole strength channel to it.

Seeing Callan going in the opposite direction of where the slap hit, I was stunned momentarily.

Damn, what a slap.

'Young woman you need to control your anger', I thought, but remember it was Callan she slapped now and instead gave her a thumbs up.

'Good Girl'. I praised.

"Well", I heard the voice of the old demigod and immediately became anxious. 'Fuck, I forgot that we were in public'. Looking at lily, I saw the panic on her face too. I know she's not scared of the demigod but the fact that we messed up and slapped Callan in public. It's different if it's private than in public where reporters are. Forget Callan, what if the Night's came, the sword ki family came and accuse me of stepping on their family pride.

I don't know how New Dawn is, but I don't think they will not want to offend the Sword ki family and protect someone that is not even a student yet.

As my thoughts were going far, I felt a soft hand on my shoulder and looked at lily with a questioning look.

With a suspicious smile on her face, she said: "Don't worry about Callan's family. They won't come and harass us for this event".

'Yo, slow your pipes young lady, you was the one that slapped him not me. What does the 'us' got to do with me?' Bewildered, I thought of this while using the black language an acquaintance of mine used in my past world.

Ignoring the expression on my face, she continued. "Apart from having a grudge with you, they will not do anything else". Lily said in an assuring tone.

Puzzled, I asked why. We just semi-disgraced one of their heirs now. Are they not supposed to bring Callan big brother or big sister that will come at me and say; "For dishonoring the Night's, Die". This is usually how it works in novels, so why is this script so wrong?

"It has been agreed by the world powers that as long as it is not something major, they will not interfere in the matters of the 'Young ones', us. That's why a certain someone was behaving like the dog of another certain bastard."

"Language young lady", I reprimanded her.

Now that she mention this, made me realize why no one stood up when Callan was behaving like Chris's boss. And I can tell it's true because Chris is looking in our direction with glares that can kill. Maybe we just touched his wrong spot.

But that does not change the fact that I might be in his position soon. When lily remember it too, our expression dimed and Chris gave a sinister laugh and glared at lily.

While all this was happening, the reporters were busy, secretly taking photos of the unconscious Callan.

I ignored them because I was not in the mood.

But it all changed when the demigod spoke again.

"Well, that happened", he said, with everyone turning our heads to the unconscious Callan and shaking our heads in pity before he continued.

"These are the names of the participants whose points were possible for us to account for".

When I heard the latter part of his speech, I was confused by the part he said, 'Whose points were possible for us to account for", and thankfully, what he said next cleared my doubts.

"Am sure you guys are a little confused, I will explain. When I said 'possible for us to account for', I meant the points that were recorded before the beast tide".

When I heard this, I felt hope building up inside me. Even though I was not the one in control at that time and it was my spirit who was, 'I' still participated all the same. And the monsters that died in my hands were not little. Maybe I do have a chance to get first in the ranking. I thought, being hopeful.

"That's why some of the participants' names were not shown on the hologram", the demigod said.

And true, like me, lily's name was not on any of the holograms, same with Callan and Chris.

Confirming that it's because they were not able to calculate the points my name was not on the list, I felt relieved.

And even more so, my heart skipped a beat when I heard the demigod's next words.

"Though we were not able to calculate the total amount of points of the participants, we know who has more points than the other". He said and continued.

"This is the ranking of the participants whose names were not shown".

Like the former unimpressive ball like before, a different hologram was projected. The difference is that the names listed were smaller than the other 10 holograms.

*1. Adrea Dark

*2. Agneya Flames

*3. Tethys Thalassa

.....

*8. Callan Night.

.....

*16. Chris Agana

....

*18. Lily heart

....

*21. Christina Agana

....

*100. Peter Stone.

....

Seeing my name was at the top of the list, I was stunned and thought I was dreaming. But the sound I heard in my now, told me it's not.

"Congratulations to Adrea Dark for getting first in the exam", the demigod said, as he gave me a king smile. I replied with a polite nod and checked the mission tab in my head.

With my face full of expectation and excitement, I check the mission tab.

[Mission Completed],

[Rewards sent to the inventory],

[Generating new mission]...

Was about to check the rewards but calmed down and decided to check the new mission since the rewards have been sent to the inventory, I can check it out later.

[Mission Generated],

[Mission Updated],

[Epic mission: Getting a deserving title],

The term 'Young Emperor' used by the people of this world, seems to be a fitting name for the Ancient King.

Mission: Get acknowledged by the people of this world, starting with becoming a Young Emperor.

...

Reading the mission description twice to satisfy my ego, I read the mission details.

'To become a young emperor before the age of 20 has its difficulties, but with the advantages I have, it's only something hard, not that difficult', was what I thought before I saw the duration of the mission.

[Duration: 2 years],

[Note: Must be at a monster level for the mission to be completed],

Realizing the system wanted me to become a high human at the age of 17, and at a monster level at that.

The only thing that was in my head was:

'Fuck'.
