After killing all the third grade demons, Ichiro said, "Now let's go back home and rest. Wait... Do anyone has magic power of teleporting things?"
Yuki raised her hand and Ichiro said, "So you please teleport cores of these demons, although we can't prevent any heart but core is fine for today."
Yuki said, "But why and where?"
Nobela said, "Emi has said to bring cores and hearts of hunted demons which I guess, we forget to tell. It will be used for making weapons and potions. So teleport them to the castle's mansion gate. Pet beasts will take them."
And Yuki teleported the saved cores of dead demons to the castle.
Ranking of challenge:
[ 1st Ranker: Ichiro with hunting 160,000 demons ]
[ 2nd Ranker: Yuzui with hunting 150,000 demons ]
[ 3rd Ranker: Nobela with hunting 130,000 demons ]
[ 4th Ranker: Yuki with hunting 125,000 demons ]
And Ichiro with everyone started walking towards the castle but there was a strange smile on Yuzui, Nobela and Yuki's face.
At the morning, Ichiro woke up from his bed and saw some notifications of System but he ignored it and went to get ready. After getting ready, he went to the main hall where Emi has called every Survivor for honoring top 3 Rankers of the challenge for the first day.
Ichiro with yawning entered in the main hall and Yuzui, Nobela and Yuki were standing on the stage.
Yuzui saw Ichiro and said to him, "Ichiro, thank you so much for teaching me it."
Ichiro said, "What thanks? I just wanted you to bring to your real potential. By that now, you are back as the eldest Dead Angel and now you will have capability to remember each memory of this and every next lives."
But the strange thing was that Yuzui, Nobela and Yuki were laughing and Emi arrived.
Ichiro came on his place and saw at the challenge ranking board and what he saw was shocking.
[ Ranker 1: Yuzui with hunting 200,000 demons ]
[ Ranker 2: Nobela with hunting 180,000 demons ]
[ Ranker 3: Yuki with hunting 178,000 demons ]
And at 4th rank, there was Ichiro with hunting 160,000 demons which he did at night with Yuzui, Nobela and Yuki.
Ichiro was shocked and said, "You... You three betrayed me. You three went for hunting after I slept, right?"
Yuzui said, "Everything is fair in love and war and this is a war. Now I can surprisingly say that finally! Finnally! I overtake first ranker and for sure I can secure my rank. Thanks to you that you taught me to control power and rampage. But sadly, now I can surely say that you can't comeback at this rank."
Ichiro turned down.
Emi said, "But don't fly so high that you forget to flap your wings."
Nobela said, "But see it, if we start hunting demons at same rate of each other, it will be hard to overtake our ranks."
Ichiro made a sad face and Yuzui said, "Do... Don't say you are upset from us?! Ichiro, this is just a challenge." And Yuzui was actually worried that Ichiro will become upset from her that they betrayed in the challenge!
Ichiro with looking down said, "No, I am not upset from you all." And turned back.
Ichiro looked straight and a scary and creepy smile on his face which Yuzui, Nobela, Yuki and Emi can't see and he left.
Nobela said, "My lord will not be upset on it at the last this is just a challenge."
Emi said, "Indeed. He will not be angry or upset on such things although... You three might be in a huge problem now." And Emi smiled.
Then Yuzui, Nobela and Yuki get honored.
At evening, Yuzui came in the library where Ichiro was to see.
"Are you upset from me?" Said Yuzui.
Ichiro looked at Yuzui and smiled and said, "Nah, I am proud that I was of use to teach you to control. I am just demotivated that now... I can't catch up to you all."
Yuzui said, "No, if you want you can come with me for hunt."
Ichiro said, "Someday later, I just brought you to hunt to teach you to use your powers and my work is done. Now we should go for hunt separately at the last it is a challenge."
Yuzui looked at Ichiro and said, "Are you sure not upset from me?"
"No, I am not. I already said, things are better to be kept seperated like our relationship and challenge. I will not take it to it." Said Ichiro.
Yuzui smiled and said, "You are the best!" And hugged Ichiro and after it, she took a leave.
After dinner, all the top 12 rankers went to hunt demons except Ichiro. He was just sitting on his bed and reading something. Emi came in Ichiro's room and said, "Are... You not going to hunt? Are you seriously demotivated?"
Ichiro said, "I am but I will go for hunt but after reading this book."
Emi went outside the room and closed the door and said, "Did he actually became demotivated and now don't want to hunt. Or... It is a sign of an disaster. Whatever it will be, I am going to have fun a lot."
At 10 pm, all the Survivors came back from their hunt and went to sleep. But Yuzui was feeling bad that she betrayed Ichiro and he might be upset from her but she can't do anything about it so she also went to her room and slept.
At morning, Yuzui woke up, got ready and get out of her room. She met Yuki was also there and Nobela also soon arrived.
Nobela said, "Being an admin is a nightmare, I blocked notification because all the time there were coming notification."
Yuzui said, "Yes, I also blocked it but what the notification can be."
Nobela said, "Who knows?"
And then, Yuzui tried to find Ichiro but he was nowhere which was strange.
Yuzui, Nobela and Yuki thought that might be Ichiro will be in the main hall.
When Yuzui, Nobela and Yuki came to the main hall, they saw that all the Survivors are in a shock and Emi was laughing loudly.
