"...Huh?"

'What? Am I seeing things?'

I couldn't believe my eyes and kept rubbing them. But no matter what I did, the text that appeared was the same.

"Hey, you're 4th place. That's amazing. How did you get that many points?"

Liz elbowed me with a surprised and slightly mischievous expression.

"...I was just lucky enough to find a few flags before I encountered the boss..." The corners of my mouth twitched continuously.

Well, it's not like I was wrong, I did get those points from the flags before I encountered the boss. It's just that I didn't rely entirely on "luck".

"Ehhh, your luck must be really high huh? Those flags are really hard to find! I was only able to find two flags, no matter how hard I tried."

She's overestimating my luck. I only found three flags because I relied on my past life memories and the original novel. Meanwhile, she easily found two while she was busy looking for me. She's so lucky! Liz is truly one of the main characters. No doubt about it.

"Haha..." I laughed it off.

While I was chatting with Liz, the people around me started making a fuss when they recognized the strange name occupying the 4th place.

Well, that's normal reaction tho, if someone suddenly appeared out of nowhere to occupy the 4th place instead of those outstanding people, who wouldn't be curious. If it was me, I would react the same way.

The chatter grew louder and a few gazes were on me, most of them were from class 1-A. They were the ones who recognized me and knew my ranking in the entrance exam, so their eyes were filled with disbelief.

An average-ranked person like me was placed 4th? No one would believe it.

"Since the class ended early, you all can leave now. As for the contribution points of the top 10 students, I have deposited them into your student accounts. You can use them at any time. But remember to use them properly, don't waste them because they're not something that can be easily earned." Mr. Britton's voice echoed.

"Alright, you can leave. Have a nice afternoon and see you next class." He smiled and walked out of the virtual reality room.

As soon as Mr. Britton left, I quickly slipped out of this place. I don't want to attract attention anymore.

"Hey, wait for me Danny!" Liz immediately followed me as soon as she saw me leave the classroom.

In the virtual reality room, a bunch of students were whispering about the student who got 4th place just now. There were many compliments for him, but most of the students didn't believe in his score, especially the students from class 1-A.

They knew very well that he only got an average rank in the entrance exam and he didn't stand out in any subject. Perhaps what impressed them was his choice of weapon. Everyone in the class often made fun of him as a weirdo because he chose a Rapier as his main weapon. And his swordsmanship was really bad.

"That Danz Grayson guy is in your class, right? Is he usually that good?" A student from class 1-B asked his friend from class 1-A.

"What's so great about him, he's just average. In fact, his rank is even lower than mine." The student immediately replied to his friend.

"He was probably just lucky." A girl from class A immediately interrupted their conversation.

"Heh... maybe he's hiding his true strength?" The classmate from class B said in disbelief.
