[Contestants Get On The Stage!]
Jerry gulped in relief, partly because he wasn't among those who would be getting on stage, and also because… of the people on the list!
Zeke Klein was the Sixth Seat of the Rankers—the same rank he had among the Elite Ten.
Needless to say, he was extremely strong, and Jerry knew very well the disparity between the both of them.
• If he had been put in the same group as him, the chances of him winning and fulfilling his goals were slim. Of course, he realized that this meant he was secretly wishing to be paired with weaker opponents, but, Jerry didn't care!
Among the Elite Ten of the Upper Class, none could be considered weak by his standards. He would still be facing challenges no matter the opponent that came his way.
At least, if the enemy was of a low Rank, the chances of winning were higher!
