If any outsider tries to enter Top 100 ranks, the students from God Clans will crush them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see,\" Neo said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, take this seriously. Do you think I'm joking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even the Rank 2000, the last ranked student, will be hailed as a genius outside the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The quality of students improves drastically above Rank 1000, and it improves again at Rank 500.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Top 100s are absolute geniuses.

Your year will be no different. The children of Great God Clans undergo the same training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, don't be reckless. Choose a rank below 1000 for your own safety,\" Amelia said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While her explanation came to an end, they reached the Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo and Amelia got off after he said goodbye to Henry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bitch…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry called out to him when they were about to enter the gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go get them,\" Henry grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned around and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the academy, he had to go towards the first year section.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Goodbye.
