The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor novel Chapter 1938

Zeph and Ambrose both knew that was as high of a compliment as they would get. This spurred them to take their organizer's duties seriously. It was not the first time Zeph was put in charge of announcing the rules and keeping everything under control. This time around, however, he had the help of Ambrose.

Zeph requested someone to bring over a chair for Elder Lee. The group stood in a line in the middle of the door and started to list the rules to the crowd below. The rules were exactly the same as before that Fane Woods heard from the others.

Zeph took his time reading out the rules and although the people already knew the rules by heart, they did not show signs of impatience at his agonizingly slow speed.

After all, the man before them was the manager of Dual Sovereign Pavilion. He could easily take them out with a single punch. Even the cocky Morton and Gerald listened quietly which pleased Zeph very much.

After he finished reading out the rules, he paused before continuing in a louder voice, "I'm aware that all of you know the rules by heart but what I'm saying next is a new rule passed down from the Clan association so listen closely. Normally, the first place winner will receive rewards, but the Clan association had decided to reward the second to tenth place winners as well. But of course, the rewards will differ vastly from the first place winner. The second to tenth place winners will each get ten contribution points."

The crowd looked at one another. They wanted to discuss the new development but were afraid it would be deemed inappropriate by the elders and organizers. Although the rewards were vastly different from what a first place winner would get, they understood in their heart that it was better than getting nothing at all.

"We will be recording your test result to calculate your ranking and your accommodation will be based on your ranking," continued Zeph.

"Our accommodation will be based on our ranking? Does that mean those at the top of the ranking will get better accommodation?"

"I wonder what ranking I'll get. Oh well, I'll just do what I can and hope for the best."

The crowd found a problem through their discussion and someone piped up, "Excuse me, Sir, what happens if two people managed to light up the obsidian’s three lights at the same time?"

The question got to the crux of the matter. Someone would always need to be last when it came to rankings. So who would get the short end of the stick if the three lights of the obsidians were lit up at the same time by two people?

Zeph squinted his eyes at the person who asked the question. He was a bit peeved at him but as an organizer, he must give a thorough explanation. He increased his voice, "Do you think we haven't thought of that? We are well prepared for something like that to happen. The obsidian's lights will only stay lit for ten seconds. So that'll be the deciding factor for the result."
