Chapter 337
The gathering of the top 10 rankers ignited the passion of every student on the fifth floor of the arena tower . They became the focus of everyone’s attention .
The students wondered whether the day will come when they too can stand in the center of everyone’s attention like those 10 individuals .
Wu Yan also can’t help getting giddy from all this high tension . He smiled in an intrigued manner .
His target isn’t a spot in the top 10, he is aiming for the top 3 spots .
Sylph, Caah, and Jaafar!
These 3 represented the toughest hurdles he would have to overcome in order to complete the mission of taking the ranking spots .
Sylph, Caah, and Jaafar arrived at the arena on which Mikoto is standing on, they each had different thoughts .
The most robust of them all, Jaafar examined Mikoto and he clicked his tongue before he continued in a savage tone that seemed like it would fit in with the beasts .
“I had wondered what someone acknowledged by Sylph would look like, she’s nothing more than a brat!”
Mikoto leered at Jaafar with electricity crackling around her, she had a very dangerous glint in her eyes .
“Who are you calling a brat?!”
Jaafar snickered at Mikoto but Caah interrupted him before he could continue his verbal jabs .
“Your Highness Jaafar, please don’t go overboard…”
Caah grinned at Jaafar, he pointed his lips at Sylph .
“You might anger somebody…”
Jaafar’s expression turned sour . He exhibited a brief moment of intimidation and frustration . Although he snorted and turned the other way, he never continued calling Mikoto a brat .
Caah casually laughed the episode off . He examined Mikoto and then he praised her .
“Although you are a female, your age is definitely younger than the humble me . To achieve the power of a tier 8 individual at such a tender age, surely you are much stronger than I am…”
Everyone except Wu Yan, Hinagiku, Ikaros, Fei Fei, and Lulu experienced a drastic change in expressions . Even the ones who had suffered a swift defeat under Mikoto’s hand weren’t spared from this .
They looked at Mikoto and they just can’t believe the youthful and innocent air she is giving off (Author note: Not sure about the innocent part given the amount of Vitamin D she received) .
She’s a tier 8 individual?…
Some of them pinched their cheeks only to find the slight pain telling them that this is all real and not just a dream .
This girl who looked like she hadn’t achieved the age of 18 is actually a tier 8 individual!
The students started getting riled up while the major factions who got a sound hiding from Mikoto released a sigh of relief . It’s not that embarrassing to lose to a tier 8 now is it?
The erstwhile no . 4 leader of one of the major factions sighed the most . He isn’t afraid people would call him out for losing to a tier 8 . He is more afraid that people would refer to him as the one who lost to an underage teen .
Mikoto felt awkward because she thought that these people are just over-reacting . Accelerator is slightly older than her but he is about as strong as her .
Meanwhile, Flandre-chan who looked like she’s not even 10 is already a tier 9 individual .
Compared to the others, she’s really not that strong . Moreover, Ikaros and Astrea is stronger than her, if anything, she felt like she needed to increase her strength some more . This is what she always thought, never had the thought occurred to her that she is too strong .
If Wu Yan knew about her thoughts, he would probably fall over and then sigh in frustration .
It’s unfair to compare all the beings available in the 2D fiction to the ones in Silvaria . By this logic, just the two Forces are enough to kill everyone in Silvaria .
Mikoto shook her head .
“There are many who are stronger than me, There are also many who have more talents than I do, you are over-estimating me . ”
Caah smiled while taking Mikoto’s words at face value . Caah didn’t bother correcting her, instead, he took a more obsequious tone with her .
“Young Miss, you have such great powers, it’s a shame that you’re just a normal special student . Let me impose myself by extending the warmest of invitations, why don’t you join our Forbidden Area?”
The students all quieted down as they held their breaths . They stared at Mikoto with wide eyes because her decision may very well shift the balance of power in Silvaria World Institute just by joining Forbidden Area .
The other 9 factions including Fei Fei looked at Mikoto, if possible, they didn’t want to see Mikoto joining his faction . Snow song, Forbidden Area, and Beast Tide had a tier 8 individual each so the remaining 9 factions can’t really compete with the 3 imperial factions despite them being referred to collectively as the 12 major factions .
They are those gunning for Mikoto’s strength as well, if they managed to get her to join their factions, their factions would instantly be on par with the 3 imperial factions .
The scene where Mikoto electrocuted the former no . 4 is still fresh in their minds so they aren’t bold enough to use any drastic measures . They just hoped that Mikoto wouldn’t say yes and leave them a glint of hope to hold onto .
Mikoto didn’t disappoint, she shook her head after a brief moment of thought . She crossed her arms and declined .
“I am sorry, I don’t have any intentions on joining any faction at the moment . ”
Caah shook his head in disappointment but he shook the feeling off quite easily .
“I see, I don’t like to force people into anything . If this young miss wishes to join a faction in the future, be sure to give Forbidden Area a call, our doors are always open!”
Mikoto nodded with a smile . Meanwhile, Jaafar silently released a sigh of relief . If Caah had succeeded, he would be having a headache right about now . He didn’t exactly start off on the right foot so he couldn’t invite her . Moreover, it seems like she really had no intentions to join any factions at the moment .
Jaafar didn’t say anything in order to avoid making a joke out of himself .
Sylph who had remained silent all this time got up after glancing at Ikaros . She used her usual cold tone to say something that changed the mood of the whole place .
“Do you accept my challenge?”
Mikoto flinched before a look of excitement climbed up her face . Lightning started arcing around her .
“You want to have a duel with me?”
Sylph nodded and she voiced her demand .
“If you lose, you will join Snow Song…”
Caah and Jaafar silently cursed . The other factions also started getting anxious . At the same time, Mikoto looked like she’s itching to start .
“Oh! You’re on!”
The whole place started rumbling .
Wu Yan and Hinagiku exchanged looks as they shared the same feeling of not being sure whether to laugh or cry . Finally, they sighed in frustration .
This girl, when will she learn to stop being so competitive?…
