Mirik's POV-
I was not bothered much by it as it was just some ranking and I was not even sure if I would take part in the competition. But looking at those excited kids also made me genuinely interested. What rank would I be if I fought?
"How does this ranking works?" I asked Bala.
"It's quite simple. You don't have to win fights consecutively one after another. The more fights you win the higher your rank." Bala explained.
"But then the ranks can be false too. What if someone just fights weak people?" I asked curiously. Bala looked at me and shook his head.
"You think so? Then you are mistaken brother. Everyone here is strong, there is no place for the weak. And as far as ranking goes they are not the representation of one's power, it is for a completely different purpose." Bala told me.
"The ranking is not for you to brag in front of your classmates. It is for seeding. They get a direct entry into the elimination round of top 32." he added.
I looked towards the two fighting in the arena and how desperate they both were to win. Now I understood why it was a big deal and why everyone was so excited about this ranking. The tournament is a one-day competition so if you got into the top 32 without fighting means that you would be able to fight the players who would come tired after their fights. It truly was a huge advantage. They had to just win 5 fights and they would be the champions.
"Where were you? Now you have lost the chance to get the seeding." Bala said with regret.
"I am not entering the tournament anyway," I told him.

"You will...don't worry about father. I'm sure he had a reason back then to stop you from participating but then you have to be in now." Bala said putting his hand on my shoulder.
"How do you know abo-" I was cut off by him in between.
"You have to be there. Don't you want to help in the revenge?" Bala added.
"What do you mean?" I asked confusingly. How would my taking part in this tournament be related to uncle's revenge?
"Look at the rankings." He said without explaining further.
CLASS RANKINGS:-
5. Bala Diman (8 wins)
4. Kiara Diman (10 wins)
3. Singha (12 wins)
2. Givi Shail (17 wins)
1. Arsh Reega (23 wins)
As I read the name of the top ranker my blood started to boil. If hate could be described by words I would write a whole novel on him. He was the one who had orchestrated all of the bad things that had happened to me. If I could exchange my life for killing someone it would be this bastard.
I thought he stopped coming to school after he had attacked me with Garden members and erased my memory with some artifact. He still had the guts to come back, looks like god is on our side,

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!
