After speaking with a swarm of lab-coated researchers and sharing only as much detail as he deemed necessary, Adyr returned to his room.
When he checked his wrist device and profile, the merit he was supposed to receive from the conversation hadn't yet been processed. But something new had appeared in the system.
The merit and power rankings have been updated.
He quickly opened the merit list and saw J.T. Ripper at the top with 86 points. Selina White followed in second place, listed under her real name, with 41 points. Third was an unfamiliar name with 32 merits. The rest of the list continued with similarly small gaps.
In the power rankings, however, his own name was nowhere to be seen.
Victor, using the alias MasterBates, held the top position. He was followed by the same unknown name from the merit list, then Selina White, and—to Adyr's surprise—Eren in fourth place.
