Ranking System



[Charles POV]

A few days later, after my date with Courtney, something happened. Outside, the annoying brown-haired woman appeared. Linda had a giant robot hovering over my isolated mansion.

"I have captured one of your lovers if you don't accept this fight! She will disappear forever!"

As cringe-worthy as she was. I saw Nene captured. The seriousness of this situation was worse than I imagined. Looking at Nene, instead of being worried, she seemed a bit too happy to be in her situation.

"Should we just leave her? She will be better off gone."

Reina, Constance, and Courtney were here watching this sight. Reina spoke those words, pissed off at Nene's attitude. I was also pissed at Nene's attitude, but I had to do my best to calm down.

What should I do? Nene can't be harmed unless Linda has some kind of power that could kill her by other means. Or an ability to cut off my skill.

Being challenged like this was pretty bold. I wonder what secret weapon Linda has if she dares to do something like this.

"Hey, you stupid bitch! What makes you so confident that you will win?"

"Don't you think provoking her now is a tad too much?"

Courtney asked, worried that Nene might get hurt in the process. Linda heard my taunt and had her face flare up.

"You think I won't harm her? Check this out!"

Upon being captured, a wiretap was attached to her. Electricity started running through her, and her body spazzed out due to the shock she received. Since I gave her my power, something like that won't harm her.

"Master~! This fuzzy feeling feels great~! You should try it out~!"

Linda saw that she was laughing and added more power. The results were the same, and Linda's patience was running out.

The atmosphere was now different from what it had originally been. All the seriousness I had for this situation had turned to dust.

"What a joke."

Everyone around us started to feel the same. Even Courtney, who was the most worried, started to relax.

"You think this is a joke??? Then your girlfriend might as well be gone!"

Linda then took this to a different level instead of using a more tame method. She had a highly concentrated beam hanging on top of Nene's head.

"Watch as your lover gets cut in half!"

At this point, we all lost any seriousness about what Linda tried to do. We all watched Nene get cut in half and then recover as if nothing had happened. Linda fell off her chair, too shocked to realize what had happened.

"She's an immortal???"

All the confidence Linda had was gone. If that was the case, then there was nothing else Linda had for us to be wary of.

Why do I have to deal with idiots like her? Because of her, we wasted time watching her do shit we didn't need to see.

"Nene! I'm going to break this robot into pieces! Hold on tight!"

I don't know if she could hear me, but it was time for me to finish this.

"You think I will let you attack?"

"Naive."

Just because she can fly and put up a barrier doesn't mean I can't stop her. I cursed her robot, which had malfunctioned.

"What's happening!!!"

She cried out, confused about what had happened. Soon, the robot she was using was about to break apart.

I had created a barrier so all the junky parts wouldn't fall into my house. On second thought, I cleaned and wiped the area so the metal parts wouldn't get in the way of my garden.

Nene and Linda fell to the ground as the machine piled upon them. I can't let Linda die yet, so I let her live, even when the rubble squashed her, turning her into a meat paste.

"Master~! You saved me~!"

She sounded sarcastic. I wanted to slap her ass, making sure her cheekiness went away. Since Nene was fine, I had to look for the other person.

Down on the ground, Linda stood up. Instead of fear, she looked at me with hatred.

"So. What next? Are you going to harass me again?"

Linda had annoyed me for the second time. This was the most a person had done that I wasn't close with.

"You think this is over?"

"Yeah, I do. Cause I won't be seeing you any more."

"What? Are you going to kill me? If you do, you will suffer the consequences."

"I'm not going to kill you. I will only be the person who will indirectly kill you."

What made this woman so mad? Instead of fear, all I could see was hatred. I knew I blew her house up, but who would have thought her anger would be this much?

Well, I wasn't too curious about the reason why. Now that I have caught her, this matter is now over.

"Old ladies like you need to stop being so vengeful. No wonder you have been alone for all these years. I don't feel like talking to you anymore. Goodbye."

"FUCK YOU!!!"

What was sad about this was that Linda didn't know what she was up against. It was like something was controlling her mind.

When I word it like that, the idea seems plausible. All Linda had toward me was hatred. Any other feeling was invalidated because it didn't exist.

"Damn..."

"What's wrong?"

"Now that I think about it, I should have questioned her. I think she might have been used."

There was nothing I could do about it. I had already sent her to hell; I don't think she would be alive now.

"Being used?"

"Yeah. It's only a prediction. But I think Linda is being influenced to do something like that."

It might be just me being paranoid, but Linda seemed too unstable. I won't get any leads with only that.

"Are you sure?"

"It might only be my imagination."

Since the "fight" was over, we returned to our rooms and relaxed. Returning to my room, I contacted Prince.

[??? POV]

"Hehehe~"

How wonderful! It's been a while since I saw an interesting character. He had a power that was similar to mine. I wonder what would happen if we fought.

Thinking about this gets me jittery. An opponent like this is hard to come by. I was glad to use that girl as bait.

Charles, was it? Next time, I will make this a much more exciting battle.

[Charles POV]

After my talk with Prince, I got back and met up with Constance. She barged into my room and looked like she wanted to ask something.

"Constance, is there something you need?"

"Charles. There's a problem I recently had, and I was wondering if you could help."

"If it isn't anything impossible, then sure."

Constance was the type of person to shoulder her issues herself. When I saw her ask me for help, I couldn't help but smile.

"In the hub that I'm at, a wicked group is hindering our plans. I was wondering if you could help us get rid of them."

"Is that all?"

That was easier than I thought. But before solving her problem, we had to get a teleporter.

Nene had been kidnapped earlier, so I needed to find a way to communicate with them when they were in trouble.

"Constance, let's go shopping first. I would like to solve it immediately, but I cannot get to your location in the hub."

"Shopping?"

"It's been a while since we were alone."

"It can't be helped. You're always off to somewhere else."

Constance has always been somewhere else. From the looks of it, she has been in the hub where she was staying.

With that decided, together we went to a place where any artifacts should be sold. What was so great about our area was that this was where the rich had gathered.

All the stuff we needed to find would be in a place like this. Even the rare items you couldn't find anywhere else would be available every day in a place like this.

"Hey, Constance. What exactly do you do in the hub you go to? Your group is being harmed, but what does it do?"

Out of curiosity, I asked. Constance should be able to answer a question like this.

"Our group? We don't do much but pray."

"Then why do you have trouble? I doubt you would attract attention because of that."

"The troublemaker wants our territory. And he will do anything to get it."

"Sheesh."

He sounds like an asshat. A person like that won't complain if I beat him up accordingly, right? Anyways, we went shopping for our needed tools. I grabbed some extra summoning crystals just in case of an emergency.

These summoning crystals were handy. You can be called upon when you put your blood on these crystals. The summoning period is only an hour, which should be enough to handle everything. With that in hand, we were ready to move.
