The requirements for joining the Welkin Academy were extremely strict. Among the 10 thousand examinees who successfully entered the arena, only a thousand would have the right to join the academy after a battle.
Melany knew that she would not be able to become a disciple of the Welkin Academy with her current strength. Regardless, she had to give her best. Besides, now that she had James’ assistance, getting to the central region would be less difficult.
“By the way…”
Upon being reminded of something, Melany looked at James pleadingly.
“Huh?” James asked, confused, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
Melany said, “Didn’t the Sect Elder say that the tokens will determine our ranking? That means the more tokens I obtain, the higher my ranking will be.
“Meanwhile, the current ranking serves only to assign our opponents. If I have a higher ranking, I might be able to enter the top 1000 even if I’m defeated in the coming battle.”
James thought about it. That seemed to be the case.
Since the number of tokens obtained determined one’s ranking and subsequently one’s opponent, Melany could avoid being disqualified if she had a sufficient number of tokens even if she was defeated.
That was the benefit of seizing tokens now.
“C-Can you help me out?” She looked at James pleadingly and said, “I-I really want to join the Welkin Academy.”
“Sure, no problem.” James nodded. Melany was his savior. How could he turn down her request at such a critical moment? He said, “I’ll give you all the tokens I seize from now on.”
Stunned, Melany said, “B-But what about you?”
