Surviving As An Extra In Fantasy World Isn't Easy-Chapter 112 :Inter Class Battle Royal

Lucas's head throbbed seeing these documents.

"President, why now of all times? Can't we postpone it a bit?"

"It's already late. Originally, it should have happened after the dungeon trial. But due to the suicide incident, the higher-ups thought to postpone it so that the conflict between classes do not intensify."Julian answered calmly.

"Still, I don't think it's the correct time. We just had a deadly encounter in Horizons. This would affect the unity of the students and the situation would be chaotic."Lucas pleaded.

If given a chance, he wanted to give his all to cancel this event. This is nothing but a troublesome event that is gonna create chaos in which he may be pulled in unnecessarily.

"We can't. Inter-Class Battle Royal is of great importance. It will allow the lower class to rank up and the points they receive at the end of each month would also increase. This will also allow for the class rank to be diversified in order."Julian muttered indifferently.

"Is there any other reason?"

"Yes, there is. The top 10 performing students will be awarded a chance to receive a blessing from the High Priest of the Church."

Lucas's eyes glowed for a moment but then his excitement turned into shock and disbelief.

'Something is wrong here. The top 10 students from the rank 1 class would get a pass to enter Treasure to pick out a suitable skill along with points so how did it change to blessing? This changed too much?'

"Did the Church step forward in this matter?"

"We are connecting to the Church from our end. Things are gonna be cleared very soon."

"I see, in that case, I should do my best, "Lucas murmured with a sigh.

"Why? Were you not against this? I thought you don't care? You can even drop out of this if you want. This event isn't compulsory." Julian spoke with a surprised expression.

"That was a misunderstanding. I am looking forward to the result of this event because I need to meet a trustworthy person from the Church and have a hearty talk with them."Lucas answered with a smile.

Noticing Lucas's crooked smile, her head throbbed.

'This guy seems to be cooking something behind my back again.'

....

Students who were not able to complete their mission within 14 days, were graded poorly and were called back.

Most of them were surely marked as failures. Failing here wouldn't make you fail the entire semester however it will affect your grades and rank at the end of the year.

Five days later, a huge uproar was caused by the announcement of Inter Class Battle Royal competition.

"Miss, Ami can we back out?"

"Is it necessary to pit one class against one another?"

Disheartening voices erupted one after another.

In an event like this, while the top one receives all the glory and honour, the one at the bottom becomes cannon fodder.

Many could already see their life becoming hell.

"Silence."Miss Ami smashed the table with a loud bang and silence reigned again.

"See, no matter what it can't be cancelled. It holds great significance for the lower class."

Looking tired, Ami tried to explain the crux of the matter.

"The classes are divided into Grades A, B, C, and D. Each grade consists of 10 classes with 100 students. Grade A consists of children with compulsory combat classes and axillary supporting classes. Grade B consists of students having a compulsory supporting class like alchemy, blacksmithing etc and the combat-related classes are auxiliary. Now when it comes to Grades C and D, they are known as underprivileged classes."Ami sighed.

"Grade C consists of students who are older than you. Most of them don't have any bloodline grade or have quite a low potential. The age of students in Grade C varies from 18-22. And Grade D consists of re-enrolled students who were expelled for failing and enrolled again by passing the entrance exams again."

"The winning class of a particular Grade in Battle Royal will have a chance to enter the next grade and fight for the rise. In this way, even a Grade D class can enter Grade A if they are capable enough."

"After the ranking of classes had been determined, the top 10 performing students of Grade A would be entitled to special privilege. Students who will drop out of this will not get any rewards that others will get. So, back out at your own risk."

"Don't come to me and cry later."

"Hmm!" Ami snorted and left leaving students in bewilderment.

.....

The atmosphere became tense due to the declaration. The flames of war had shrouded Horizon entirely.

Most of the students in his dorms were from Grades C and Grade D so conflicts broke out occasionally. Bullying has become a severe problem. Fights were happening all around.

The nobles of other classes started putting traitors by using the commoners who easily gave away in front of the riches.

The Interclass matches began the very day after the declaration. The fight started between the Classes of Grade D. Out of them, Class D-5 won the match and advanced to the Grade C and the class C-1 winning the block fights entered Grade B clubs.

The battles took place in a virtual place and the live battles could be seen. In a way, all your strength and weakness would be exposed before everyone that would be highly detrimental in the tournament.

So, Lucas had to find a way to get into the rank, hiding his hidden cards as much as possible. Once he enters the limelight, he would be put under surveillance and the greedy nobles would try to dig out his past.

Luckily, Lucas always makes sure to hide his tracks as much as possible cause once those assholes know your bottom line, nothing would stop them from devouring you.

Thankfully, his goal to hide under Princess Shade before the tournament was accomplished way earlier due to certain someone.

Lucas scrolled through the notification and heaved in relief.

Today was the Battle Royal of Class B.

"At least the winners are following the predetermined path."

Class C-1 entering Grade B clubs and emerging victorious at the beginning was seen as a fluke but in the end, they would advance to Grade A.

At the end of all this farce, the real winner as everyone expected is going to his class A-3.

With the top 3 rankers, it had only one contender which was class A-5 where rankers from 4-6 were present. However, the real battle would be quite dirty.

"Hmmm! With my intervention in the Field Test, the casualties had lessened down however many who shouldn't have died originally got killed. Charles and a few others who were kidnapped originally were still here but in their place, others have been taken away."

"This is surely troublesome. If not for the blessing, I would have backed out here. Who wants to waste time for some meagre points and skills? I already have too many points in my hands and skills, if not I can buy them at an auction using money."

Planning a bit, Lucas opened his status screen.
