I Will Survive Till The End: Blood Extermination Academy-Chapter 45: Shard Rankings

Arc 2, Chapter 45 — Shard Rankings

.

.

Jealousy.

It was an emotion that could cause colossal damage to those swimming in its essence.

Many were biting their nails hard, already too envious of those with shards from pile 20 upwards.

Now, here comes a dual shard user that awakens both Shards from a super pile like Pile 23.

Many already had red bloodied eyes of envy, but didn’t know that there was Victorio’s shard to reveal.

WHAT?!!

No way!

They don’t believe it.

Many exclaimed in disbelief, their heads sideways like dogs with foaming mouths.

This... This is impossible, right?

"It’s actually PILE 24!"

They sucked in their breaths, realizing Victorio awakened a shard from the strongest Pile—Pile 24.

Damn!

So envious.

Many in the crowd bit their lips till blood streamed down their necks.

Why was it not them?

How come it’s easy for others to get shards from piles above 20, while they only got theirs from 2, 15, 10, 5, 14, 12, 17, 18, and whatnot?

Already, this distinguished them from these high-potential people.

Victorio’s lackeys also got shards from higher piles ranging from 17~21.

’Not bad... not bad...’

So far, Winhest was quite impressed by how many high potential candidates were in this year’s Bloodren group.

No wonder he was assigned to teach them.

Typically, there should only be a handful of extraordinary candidates per year within every new Bloodren group.

Many times, you can only find one to 5. But this group’s potential seemed endless.

It would be a lie to say he wasn’t taken aback.

Now, there was only one more person left to walk the Yellow brick road.

’Levon Belmont...Why do I have the feeling you’ve managed to catch the eyes of Department Head Roud?’

Recalling how Roud paused when listening to Levon’s name earlier, Winhest was left intrigued.

Roud said nothing, but Winhest felt an interest in Levon on Roud’s part.

But Why?... What makes him special?

A person that can make Roud remember their name, should not be ordinary, no?

’How interesting...’

Winhest’s lips slowly raised high.

"Levon Belmont... It’s time to walk the Yellow brick Road."

.

.

Levon Belmont...

Everyone already received their shards, except for him.

Now, all attention was on this youngster with a handsome appearance and a lazy stance.

He had his hands in his pockets and a lollipop in his mouth.

"Come on buddy, you can do it!"

"You... you can do it."

Shugo and Artilla were like cheerleading, cheering Levon on... though, he’d rather they not.

Just because he would be walking on the path alone, did it mean that he needed cheering on?

Yet, despite his helplessness, there was a strange warmth surging in his heart.

’It’s not a bad feeling at all.’ Levon chuckled softly.

If anyone looked carefully, they would see he was smiling truthfully without a mask.

—And so, with one forward, Levon began his journey down the Yellow brick road.

SWISH!

(Silence)

This... this...

Everyone was taken aback; and then...

Bahahahahahahah~

The laughter was ear-shattering. Many laughed so hard tears began forming in the corners of their eyes.

"Oh my God! Did you see that? This guy took just 5 steps forward and awakened his first pile—It’s a PILE 1!"

"Pfft... Bahahahahahahah~... I can’t. I can’t hold it any more. It’s really amazing to be so useless"

"Pile 1... it’s actually pile one. Pfft~... My belly hurts so much from laughing."

"Hey, who was it who said he might beat those who got shards from pile 23?"

"It’s just right for him to walk the Yellow Brick Road on his own. Who would want to walk with this useless guy?"

"Pfft~... Too funny. I can’t believe trash like him gets to stand around us."

"Damn, what a waste of expectation... But who knows, he might be a dual shard user. Let’s wait and see."

In the crowd, some laughed, some only had smiles, while others looked confused.

Even Floriana opened her eyes, feeling something wasn’t right.

"He’s strong, I can tell."

"Yeah Boss, we can all tell." Yimu thinned her lips.

"So what’s going on?" Rita questioned.

Even Payne and Hendrix, as well as the boy with the game box and several others, also raised their heads in disbelief.

"Something’s off."

They trusted their intuition. This Levon fellow was no way ordinary. So why would he awaken such a worthless shard?

Perhaps he was a dual shard user?

—WRONG!

Levon walked to the very end, and awakened no other shards.

[Those in doubt]: ’_’

Well... It seems one can’t rely solely on intuition anymore.

The facts were staring them right in the face.

From today onwards, they will go higher and ascend faster, while Levon could only watch them grow and grow from his little place..

From now on, he will be longer be able to catch up with them, and they will become people from 2 different worlds.

.

.

–Trash.

Such a word was indeed suitable for anyone who awakens anything from Pile 1.

Winhest looked at Levon with complex thoughts.

It seems there was nothing special about this Levon fellow.

He must have misunderstood Roud, thinking Roud was paying attention to Levon.

Yes, it must be so.

Levon touched the peculiar mark tattooed above his chest with an expressionless face.

He didn’t care how anyone viewed his shard.

It was his and his alone.

Fufufufufu~

A playful smile danced between his lips.

’I have never been one to believe in the so-called fate.’

Just because you say it’s impossible, does it mean he was destined to be ’weak?’

Levon shrugged, unbothered.

"Brother Levon, don’t feel sad." Artilla really felt bad for Levon’s sake, already shooting her icy cold glares at those taunting him.

No matter what sort of Shard Levon awakened, she still believed he would never get left behind.

Shugo also had a cold grin when smiling at those around them.

Pfft~

Levon didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when seeing how the duo protected him like mother hens.

In addition, It was also odd that even now, Victorio still gave him the eyes of a predator hunting its prey... if anything, he looked even more excited.
