Before the noise in the arena could even settle, he turned toward the floating platform where the professors stood and spoke clearly.
"I'll challenge the 100th-ranked student today," he spoke, adjusting the sleeves of his uniform.
"I'll continue the rest tomorrow."
The words hit the arena like a second shockwave.
The professor closest to him stiffened, then took a breath. After what they had just witnessed, there was no reason to doubt him anymore.
"…Very well," the professor said, nodding slowly.
"Your request is approved."
The crowd erupted again.
"He's not stopping?!"
"He just broke a domain, and now he wants the Heaven's List proper?!"
"This is insane!"
The whispers instantly broke as the professor raised his voice.
"Summon the 100th-ranked student!!!"
For a moment, nothing happened.
Splash...!
Until the air suddenly grew humid.
