Chapter 282
SS-Rank (2)
Combining the lists announced by the World Association after the raid, the results are as follows.
Total number of Rankers: 1,000.
Number of non-participants: 343.
Number of deserters: 220.
Number of casualties: 142.
= Number of surviving Rankers among participants: 295
In other words, 343 people didn’t show up from the start, whether due to dungeons or excuses.
220 people fled mid-way due to the Ju Dong-hoon issue or fear, 142 died during the battle, and 295 remained until the end, cheering.
It was a bitter result.
To think that over half of those who strutted around, feasting on the respect and envy of countless people worldwide, were actually cowards.
Some defended themselves by shouting, [“It was just the Skeleton Emperor’s personal affair!”].
But regardless of the reason, the fact remained that they were deserters who turned their backs on the crisis of global annihilation.
If the dragon hadn’t been slain, humanity would have ultimately faced extinction.
“The World Association designates a total of 563 individuals—non-participants and deserters—to a blacklist for five years.”
Blacklist.
It was a newly created concept by the World Association this time.
Designed by Aira, remember the benefits existing Rankers received?
Tax exemption.
Free use of high-end class flights.
VIP treatment in any country visited, with suite rooms in top-tier hotels.
An annual card limit of 1 billion.
High-end restaurants, etc.
The moment you’re placed on the blacklist, these are naturally revoked.
