Chapter 6: Rank 1
Licht was currently behind the stage, preparing to hold the speech for the entrance ceremony of the academy.
As the 2nd-ranked Cadet at the Slayer Academy, Licht was the deputy leader of the first-year cohort.
Fortunately for Licht, during the entrance ceremony he was just a figurehead. As a deputy, all he had to do was come out and look pretty.
The protagonist of the game should be arriving soon to take over as the No. 1 Cadet, and things were supposed to go smoothly from there.
At least, that’s what Licht had thought.
Suddenly, as Licht was casually wandering around backstage, he saw Mr. Greyfax storm in with an ugly expression, furiously typing on his smartwatch.
Licht heard a buzz as a reply came in, and soon the old man’s face went red. His entire body started trembling so hard, it looked like his beard was blowing in the wind.
Licht, the natural gossiper he was, couldn’t help but take a curious glance at the principal’s smartwatch.
But as he did, he was stunned.
With just one buzz, the living legend began trembling and his face went beet red. If this were a cartoon, there would definitely be a trail of smoke coming out of the poor old man’s head.
Licht couldn’t understand what on earth had happened to make a living legend look like a distraught old boomer.
