Ha, it was so simple.
What I am talking about?
Of course, it was the monthly challenge within our class of 1B. Since I was in the middle rung, I can challenge others but they should be above me.
Though before I got my chance to challenge someone above me, I was challenged first. Since I ascended from 1C just a month ago, I may have appeared weak to them but I showed that I am anything but weak.
I am weaker than the professors or seniors in the academy but when compared with students of the same year, I am not weak. Sure there are many who may be better than me, but in no way, can I be classified as weak.
I easily defeated my challenger.
After two more matches, I got my chance to challenge someone in the class and I wanted to choose the tenth-ranked one as usual. There was no reason to go above and beyond.
