Ranking System

After a while of Nene\'s teasing, we got two presents along the way to our destination. If we were to run, arriving would only take five minutes.

"Jasmine, Nene, let\'s run for it."

Since these gifts would be ours, I would like to have as many as possible. Jasmine and Nene agreed, and we headed up toward the mountain at a rapid speed.

[Third Person POV]

"It seems like your representative is having it hard. Shouldn\'t you call them back before they die? LAST PLACE doesn\'t mean the end of the world."

Everyone could tell that Linsey was being sarcastic. The team that Amanda had sent in was already having trouble.

Avalanche and Ice monsters had swarmed them. Any mistake could get them killed. Amanda considered having them drop out right at the moment.

It wasn\'t helping that Linsey\'s word was getting to her. Her pride versus her people. Which one would she take?

On the screen, it wasn\'t looking good for Blaine and two of his team members. They could die any second if they make a terrible mistake.

"Take them out!"

Amanda caved in and asked the head organizer to take them out of the game. Before the three could get harmed. The head organizer teleported the three back to the main party room.

Blaine and his friends had their eyes widened once they escaped. They breathed heavily and were exhausted by the whole event. Their life almost flashed before their eyes in a game that was supposed to be fun.

"Isn\'t that nice? Your little friends are alive. It\'s a pity that they haven\'t gotten anything. But there\'s always next time."

"You!!!"

Amanda was fuming. Linsey being the ass she is, gloated over their results right in front of her. Blaine\'s team couldn\'t raise their head due to shame.

"Look at my team. They found the jackpot."

Charles and his friends have made it over to the mountain. On top of the mountain, presents under the tree were found.

Anyone going up there would have their spirits risen. But once they took the presents, a monster showed up. A giant yeti wearing a festive red hat had shown up.

"Looks like your team is going to have it rough."

"Oh. You don\'t have to worry about that. My team isn\'t as incompetent as yours."

What Linsey said was a low blow. Amanda looked like she wanted to strangle her right now. But with how the fight was going to go, everyone was interested to see how it went.

Charles and his friends made a triangle formation around the yeti. The yeti yelled, prompting an attack.

But before the yeti would attack, Charles and the two others went in together for an attack. Charles had managed to get the attention of the yeti, so the yeti made it a priority to defend his attack.

Nene and Jasmine\'s attack made the snow monster wince in pain. Nene\'s attack was much more powerful, so her hit wasn\'t something to scoff at. Jasmine\'s kick to its shin worked, but the damage was minimal.

"See? They\'re doing pretty well. As long as they aren\'t stupid, there is no way for them to mess up."

"Don\'t be so quick to make that judgment. The fight isn\'t over yet. The monster they\'re fighting could crush any of your representatives anytime."

What Amanda said was true. The yeti were stronger physically than any of them if they fought one-on-one. Suppose they fought by normal means. The yeti would win.

Suddenly, the yeti screamed in pain. No one knew what had happened except Linsey and the three people fighting the giant snow monster.

The yeti\'s leg was in pain. Jasmine\'s weak kick had caused some problems in the leg of the yeti. With one leg in pain, they took the chance to beat the shit out of the yeti.

Fighting the yeti was like bullying. All the yeti could do was use its arms to block its face from being hit.

Charles and his gang were stomping their legs on the yeti\'s body. It didn\'t take long before Charles crushed the arms and legs of the yeti. Then Charles snapped its neck, killing it off.

"Don\'t you think they\'re amazing?"

"They got lucky! What kind of faulty system is this? The monster\'s leg broke from that weak kick? How is that possible?"

"Luck is also a skill. Like how your team lost in an instant because of it."

"Linsey, right. Your team did this round terribly."

The humanoid dragon man walked up to both Linsey and Amanda. Overhearing their conversation, he found it interesting and wanted to join in.

"Agnus. Don\'t tell me you\'re going to make an enemy out of me too."

Agnus is the name of the dragon man. He smiled at what Amanda had said.

"An enemy? You don\'t deserve to be my enemy. You know very well that I could crush anyone here."

"Linsey, what\'s the name of the boy? He caught my interest. He has a familiar smell that I can\'t put my fingers into."

"He\'s Charles Anderson. But sorry, you ain\'t taking him away from me."

"Don\'t worry. I know how possessive you\'re. You\'re annoying to deal with when you get mad."

"Talk about being hypocritical for a dragon..."

"Did you say something?"

As the head of the IUC, Agnus\'s position is the highest around here. No one here dares to get Angus pissed. Even the likes of Linsey and Amanda wouldn\'t dare.

The other competitors were either unlucky with finding some gifts or were attacked by some monsters or natural disasters.

Fortunately, no one in the first games was killed. Or there would be some weird tension at a party that no one would want.

Eventually, the first event would end, and Charles and his team were happy with the number of gifts they got.

Second place had less than one-third of their gifts, but they were happy with the amount they got. But once seeing that Charles got triple their gift, they couldn\'t help but gasp.
