Ranking System

Chapter 69 The Saintess (Part I)

Two more days had passed. The class had finished, and I made my way home. The crowd around me hasn't died since my rank was upgraded.

As famous as I would like to be, there were times when I wished I would stay home. Mr. Trek's classes were helpful. He taught us about the system, which I didn't know much about.

Getting rid of the crowd, I went home with Nene, Reina, and Montogomery. Nene and Reina's faces were exhausted from the people around me. Even though they were tolerant of things like that, it was too much.

"Master! Can't you punch them away?"

Nene's tone died down due to how tired she was. Reina didn't say anything but agreed to what Nene had said. She would usually try to be the voice of reason but couldn't do so.

"If someone gets too close, I should."

There was no way for me to go through this mess. I didn't want to be hindered by these pointless things. After this exhausting day, we arrived at our house.

"Master, a guest has arrived. She wants to meet you urgently."

Another guest? But this time, it was for me. I don't know many people that would want to meet me. Rose said the person was a girl. I wondered who she was.

Reina frowned but didn't say anything. Nene went back to our room and did her own thing. She has been checking up on the monster egg a lot lately.

Montgomery also left and went out to do the grocery. Since he wasn't with Reina as often, he didn't want to be useless.

"Lead the way."

Following Rose, Reina and I went to one of my living rooms. Meeting a woman in her twenties, I could see her sitting down on a couch.

The woman was the third ranker. Seeing that I had arrived, she stared at me. Is she here to fight me? I heard in some cases high rankers would kill someone for their rank. But considering her title, I doubt that's the case.

"So Saintess. What business do you have with me?"

"I want to confirm something. Seeing you in person helps me confirm it."

What does she want to confirm? Is it my rank? There was no need when you could see it publicly. Reina used her ability to check the reason why the Saintess was here.

"What did you want to confirm, if I may ask?"

"I wanted to see if you have any connection to god."

"..."

Everyone in the room was silent, hearing what the Saintess had said. I know that the higher rankers were wack jobs, but this woman here takes it to another level.

"I think you're mistaken about something. God is real. And the proof is the system itself."

The Saintess herself knew what we thought. This topic is controversial, many believe that god created the system, but we have no concrete proof.

I, for one thing, don't believe in it. If god does exist, then why create this pointless ranking system? Are they that bored and use us insignificant beings for amusement? Even if they exist, I can't believe such a thing.

And if there is a connection between god and me, then it would be the skill itself. My skill itself could be considered something that even god should fear.

"What answer did you come up with?"

I was wondering what conclusion the Saintess had come up with. Like my previous thought, I doubt I have any connections to them. And if I do, then it would be my skill itself.

"You do. I feel it."

"..."

Everyone here stared at her. Constance said with a lot of conviction she would be considered a lunatic if she wasn't someone this high in the ranks.

"What do you plan on doing now that you feel this connection and your "god?" Do you have some crazy plan or something?"

"I'm going to observe you."

"..."

"What is your definition of observing?"

The way she casually said she would observe me was concerning. Reina and Rose looked at her with hostility.

"I will follow you until god tells me to stop."

Should I kill her? It would be a waste to do so. Looking at her, she had long blonde hair and bright golden eyes. Her dress choice was questionable, but she was curvy in all parts of her body. Older women hit differently. It was a shame that she was crazy.

"So you'll stalk me until this "god" of yours tells you to stop?"

The Saintess nodded, even though she didn't like the term I used. If she's going to follow me everywhere, should I show her how I fuck my girls?

I wonder what expression she will make once I do so. Would she be disgusted or flustered? So many possibilities could be seen from this woman.

"Then do what you want. As long as you don't stop me from doing what I want, I don't care."

Rose was surprised by what I had said. Reina, however, knew my answer but still disliked my choice.

"Please refer to me as Constance. Having you call my title for my stay will be stuffy."

"Constance, it is. Call me Charles. I hope you'll enjoy your stay."

"Call me Reina."

"I'm Rose..."

For the first time, Constance smiled, seeing that I was welcoming. The stiffness coming from Constance was now nowhere to be seen.

Rose was shaken. A lot of things have happened to her recently. For a girl trying to seduce me, she gets shaken pretty easily.

Reina wasn't as welcoming, but you can't win everyone over that quickly. She didn't seem bothered by Reina's expression, like she didn't care about her.

Looking at Reina's expression, I knew that I would've to cheer her up later. I don't want Constance blowing up a fuse from Reina's harassment. I don't want my house to be destroyed.

"Charles, if you don't mind. Could I touch you?"

Reina's hand had bent something. Oh, dear.
