Position

The next day,

All the Regulars have been summoned to a large room for the next test, Position Selection.

Sasuke is the last one to enter the room with Laure. It's the same room they entered before the crown game. Everyone is present here except Baam and Ho. He could see all their looks coming at him. Fear, Anger, Shame, or challenging ? He ignored everyone and sat in a corner.

A few minutes later, Leoro-ro arrived and greeted everyone present " Long time no see, Regulars. Did you have enough rest? I know it isn't long, but I hope you spent it well. "

" And I hope you all do your best on the Test that begins today. I will explain the Test that will begin now "

" The Test you are taking this time is …. The Position Test. " he grandly announced with a smirk.

" Position Test … which means? Shibisu questioned with a little doubt.

" Yeah, I think a lot of you have noticed this already. The fighting in the tower is usually done on a Team. The Position is the role you all play during the battles. " Leoro-ro continued,

"There are different positions but there is the Fisherman, Spear Bearer, Light Bearer, Scout, and lastly The Wave Controller. " He then continued to explain what each position signifies and its role in a fight as a Team.

Sasuke couldn't help but think, ' Maybe they'll assign me as a Spear Bearer, given how I've been throwing my opponents around. '

" Beginning now, you will be assigned to one of these Five Positions. And you will be trained in that position for a month and only the Regulars with the highest results get the right to take the next Test. "

" For your reference, you've been assigned to your positions based on Tests thus far. " After he finished explaining everything. He took a Yellow cube and enlarged it to a large Table.

" Now, look. This table shows your Position according to the results of the previous Tests. "

Stated, Leoro-ro.

The large Yellow Table then materialized letters out of nowhere like a digital screen and showed the list. The Table is divided into Five sections matching the five Positions.

Everyone in the Large Room started murmuring as they saw their position.

Sasuke easily found his name. Because the first section is Fisherman and the first name on it with a [ Best seed ] tag is his name.

" Pheeww, Goodness I'm not a Spear Bearer "

Sasuke relaxed closing his eyes with a smile.

" What do you mean Turtle? Are you saying this Honorable Rak is in a Position you despise" Shouted Rak from the other side. He could be seen fuming and behaving like Tsundere. He is already indignant for not being selected as Fisherman.

Sasuke lips twitched at the behavior of Rak. He doesn't know how this alligator overhead him.

He could see Khun at the side, Closing his face in Embarrassment.

" Yeah, Spear Bearer is boring. What's the fun of you just throwing the Spear from a long distance, instead of fighting in a Close range, which will be more fun? " Sasuke replied with a smile. He didn't let go of this opportunity. He tried to tease Rak But, his response angered all the Spear Bearers in the room. Ironically they didn't even let a fart in front of him and could only glare. But, the same couldn't be said about Rak…

" What did you say Turtle !? I order you to fight me. Now ! " he got up from his position as he if is going to wage war against Sasuke.

" Fighting is Prohibited outside of Tests " stated Leoro-ro suddenly, calming the alligator or giving a reason to avoid fighting.

Khun asked about injured candidates for which Leoro-ro said it's their responsibility and missing attendance will be disadvantageous for them. He also announced that Teacher of Wave Controllers will arrive a bit late and their classes will start three days late. Which somehow made Khun relax.

" Okey everyone, Follow the guide and Go to your Teachers " Leoro-Ro departed after that.

…..

In a Large Room with seats surrounding and a stage in the center, All the Regulars who have been assigned as Fishermen could be seen seated. Sasuke occupied a spot in the first row.

" Hello Regulars, I'm Hax, your Teacher for Fisherman Position. Let's get along well " a female with a Silver mask covering her face with a Blue top and pink skirt introduced herself cheerfully.

' Well, she is a strong one ' Sasuke looked at her with his Rinnegan. He can see the Shinsu covering her body entirely to form something like a barrier. He had only seen a phenomenon like this with Leoro-ro.

She asked everyone to introduce themselves and their fighting preference. After the introduction part is over, Which felt childish to him at a point when his fellow fisherman's started bragging instead of basic introduction. She began the first class, about Shinsu. Everyone straightened up at the word Shinsu, even him. As he witnessed firsthand what Shinsu is capable of doing.

" Shinsu is Everything, it is the core of all energy. It helps us breathe and live life. We can't do anything without Shinsu. Shinsu can be water, fire, light, etc. It can change in Infinite ways. It is a blessing of God. "

" At the same time, it is very dangerous to control Shinsu. As controlling Shinsu can be dangerous, to use it without any special item, you need to get permission from The Floor's Administrator. "

"This is generally called ' The Contract with The Administrator. ' This Contract must be done in the same way on every Floor, or else, you'll be restricted when controlling the Shinsu" Hax then explained how to form a contract with the Administrator and asked everyone to form the Contract.

" I Believe you already formed your Contract with the Administrator, " asked Hax, upon seeing Sasuke not forming a Contract, like the rest with his pocket.

" Yes " He lied through his teeth. He'll be a fool to form a Contract when he still remembers the scene when Baam tried formed a Contract, The Administrator said something like it isn't Strength but Shackles for someone like you. And if he connected the dots and based on his personal experience, it is easier to conclude that an ' Irregular ' doesn't need a Contract or anything to control Shinsu.

' I'll restrict myself if I form a contract with the Administrator ' he thought, looking outside the window, waiting for the rest to finish.

After everyone formed their contract, Hax decided to call it a day.

Sasuke returned to his room and saw Laure still asleep while Ho still unconscious, Now even he started to believe Ho is dead. The only thing proving him wrong is the faint breath coming from him.

' Well, even if he wakes up tomorrow, he can't attend the classes for at least five more days. And if he didn't partake in the classes for more than three days, he'll be disqualified. So he is better off dead ' he ignored him and started doing his physical training in a corner.

….

On the Fifth day, Sasuke attended the classes as usual in the morning with Hax explaining the role of a Fisherman and everything related to it. She didn't teach anything except giving lectures about Fishermen for four days straight.

" Hey, why don't you buy me lunch? " Endorsi asked in a hushed tone from behind. At first Anaak and Endorsi had a challenge about who will beat him first. But, every time they challenged him in the past, he will knock them out with a single move and drop them near their room. It became a common thing now.

" Ask your Lizard friend, I'm busy "Stoically, Sasuke replied, successfully receiving a death threat from the said Lizard.

" Tsk, Boring… and HEY! She is not my friend "

Endorsi shouted from behind, gaining a glare from Hax, even though she is wearing a mask that covered her whole face.

Soon, Classes ended. Sasuke slipped out from the hands of those annoying women as soon as he can.

When he returned to his room, He Saw Laure, helping Hoh to pack his stuff. Hoh woke up in the morning but, Unfortunately, he has been disqualified, as he couldn't continue taking classes or Tests anymore in his current condition.

"May your memory sizzle on the Tower forever!"Sasuke offered a moment of silence for the brave Hoh, who dared to face the protagonist's ultimate weapon… PLOT ARMOR !"
