KeepingSilent

After dying as a college student, Kain wakes up in a magical world where people form bonds with spiritual creatures to fight alongside them. Determined to rise to the top, he relies on a System and loyal companions.
Everything seems to align with his ambitions—except the spiritual creatures he can contract seem to be remarkably…strange

This Beast-Tamer is a Little Strange

Thankfully, out of all of the groups, Bridge seemed to be in one of the easiest groups.

Bridge at rank 39 (his rank now higher due to four of the 5 students dying or dropping out being ranked above him) was placed into group 8 which had the eighth seed, rank 14, Riley's fellow survivor Elara at rank 37, Aria at rank 46 who was in Kain's group for the field assessment, and rank 47 who was one of the two students to lose a contract during the beast tide.

Kain was confident that aside from ranks 8 and 14, Bridge could defeat any of the other 3 easily. With a little luck or a favorable matchup between spiritual creatures, he may even be able to defeat the 14th ranked student. Therefore, regardless of if Bridge is ranked second or third in his group, he can look forward to a substantial increase in rank. If he finishes second he'd be able to automatically receive a single room, while if he places third he'd still be able to fight for a position in the top 20.
