QT: Against My Will

477 7.101 – Current Rankings 4 – War Of The Wickeds

The students that didn’t belong to Silvia’s team stared at their desks, eyes widening and lips tightening. How could a literal cheap slut like her still be so popular to keep her leadership position? She said that she paid her team to entertain her, so that must have been the reason. They thought.

Mr. Jankings was a bit taken aback by her team’s reaction. Most bad rumours about Riley would always be revoked and proved wrong, whereas when it came to Silvia, everything bad one heard about her was true.

He stood in front of the class, his eyes scanning the sea of faces. From what he heard from other teachers, the loner twin Riley would usually slaughter them with his vast knowledge and indifference. Those face slaps... He got to experience one on his own skin. Silvia too would usually end up in an embarrassing position like him.

Mr. Jenkins clapped loudly, smiling, “Alright, that’s it for today. Calm down!” That deliquent girl was too cocky to declare that she would have burned the world! But he felt the pressure, betting that if he didn’t let Silvia pass, her whole team would jump him at once. “Silvia LeClére, that was an interesting take on the topic. You pass.”

Bing Shi bowed in his direction, “Thank you, Mr. Jenkins!”

“You are welcome,” He nodded. Silvia was always a good boot licker, so he didn’t know why he felt a bit honoured to be in her presence this time around, “Those who didn’t finish on time will be required to hand in a detailed report about whether the expansion of the cities outside the barriers, is a good thing...”

With a satisfied Silvia LeClére, the rest of the class went on smoothly.

|”Will Silvia get back her period? How is baby fetus doing?”|

|Her constitution should heal naturally over time. The fetus isn’t doing very well. I don’t think it will be able to accommodate Stinky Bun, but I’ll see what I can do.|

.....

It wouldn’t be safe for Stinky Bun to roam around without a native’s body. There were many powerful entities around, and they didn’t want their son’s identity to be discovered. Every protective measure counted.

Silvia’s team walked out of the class, bright smiles plastered across their faces. Even though most of the team joked around with her as they would with their friends, they kept their distance. If you were too close to her, she’d make sure you knew about it. And then there was the fact that Liam had already warned them off by taking a few hits.

Alain began to hand out some cookies to the team, excluding a few people. His bangs hung down, covering his eyes, adding to his shyness. Despite being a member of a drug cartel, he had yet to muster up the courage to speak.

Accepting the cookie, Henry could rarely be seen showing an expression, but when he spoke, he spoke with confidence. He was a fountain of knowledge, contributing to the team with his unique insight, “Is there any poison?”

Alain nodded his head, handing Henry a vile that contained the poisonous ingredient he used, causing the whole team to take a step back in dread.

Henry took a bite, “The cookies are beneficial for betas but lethal for Deltas.”

Bertha was hesitant at first, but decided to give it a try once she saw Henry taking one, “Thank you.”

Alain nodded his head again.

Liam wrapped his arm around Alain’s and Bertha’s shoulders, “Come on guys, let’s celebrate!”

Juliet rolled her eyes, “We are not done with our ordeals yet, what’s here to celebrate?”

“That you have to start looking for a group,” Liam answered, raising his palm to stop the upcoming fist, “While we don’t, haha!”

Laura raised her hand up to high-five Silvia, “Silvia, are you really an omega?” Their palms hit in mid-air.

A smile stretched the corners of Silvia’s mouth, “I wonder too.”

Douglas sniffed around Silvia’s body from a distance, “She smells like one but doesn’t feel like one. It’s weird.”

“It’s because she bathes regularly,” Juliet crossed her arms, “Just like you should be doing more often.”

Douglas was convinced that he was doing enough, so he didn’t understand why Juliet was so obsessed with his hygiene.

“Liam and Henry,” Bing Shi tapped their right shoulders with her cane, “You two have to join another team and get into S class this time. Go. My training room is waiting for you. Ezikiel will be your fighting buddy.”

“What?!” Liam was taken aback, “Why?!”

“Because the world needs more LADs,” Bing Shi answered, “And our team need more training rooms. Three are not enough to fit us all. We need at least five.”

“What about me? Can I join you guys?” Bertha asked, “But... I’m a beta...” She frowned, “I won’t be able to get into S class.”

“I’m a beta too,” Henry reassured her, his eyes void of emotions, sounding detached, “The only way for me to get into S class is to join the same team as Elera Mai.”

“No,” Ezikiel stepped forward, patting Henry’s back, “Let Liam take care of the easier one. I have someone else prepared for you. You will love him.”

Henry looked straight ahead, ready to imagine his opponent, “Who is he?”

“Damon Carnifex,” Ziek answered, causing the team to gape in shock.

Henry blinked his eyes, looking seemingly unfazed, “Really?”

“Listen, buddy,” Ziek grinned, feeling the pounding of Henry’s heart against his palm. He liked this guy, “I never joke.”

Laura got in between them, pouring fake tears, “I thought you would choose me to go against him.”

“No, no, no,” Bing Shi crossed her arms into an X, “If you go, who will carry our team? I can’t let one of my best fighters leave.”

“Fine. I’ll stay,” Laura sniffled. She knew she would have a difficult time with a new team of people she was not familiar with. She couldn’t compare to Liam and Juliet in terms of strength, but she could lead a small group into fighting them on the same page. In order to raise in ranks, she had already been plotting and planning in her mind, and now she had to put her ideas into action.

The results from the new ordeal were out. Everyone in Silvia’s team jumped in ranks.

.....

Juliet was previously an S rank and had to join another team, thanks to which she ranked up again. Without Ezikiel and Juliet, Liam had a chance to shine and successfully ranked up into S class too.

Bertha skipped 2 ranks with flying colours, going from D to B. Being in contact with such great people all the time, she had to work hard to catch up. One wouldn’t be surprised if she got into S class like Elera Mai and Henry one day.

The most eye-jarring thing about the results was the three omegas standing on top of the pyramid and the three alphas laying on the bottom! Someone was just too cocky, they didn’t have to prove anything and knew the school would do nothing to them!

Damon and Victor attended all classes with their partners, so saw no point in staying in S class for its greatest benefit (skipping class without being punished).

Most students except for Silvia wore the school uniform. It was their dream to wear it one day, so saw this S-class benefit as useless.

The St. Moon Academy wouldn’t be the prestigious school it was if it allowed the students to take advantage of it. They wanted to prove that staying in S class was worth it.

They implemented new privileges as if they too, adapted on the go, such as free lodgings that looked more like a penthouse than a dormitory room, upgraded training rooms, monthly allowance and free cafeteria meals. The last two weren’t necessary before because the S class usually contained wealthy students. Now, half the students in S-class were struggling financially.

Such privileges still couldn’t compare to the last one: each S-class student would receive the latest LAD gear and have it periodically upgraded, which even the wealthy couldn’t get a hand on if they weren’t LAD themselves.

The assigned training room could be considered the second-best benefit. Silvia’s team had four S-class students now, and per her wish, all of their sixty team members would gain access to them — making it fifteen people per room.

Yes, it grew by twenty more people after the last ordeal… Compared to Riley’s ten close people, which was usually a norm, their group was just too big!
