The notion that I could even make it in the rankings was ridiculous. Let alone the fact that I was publicly a First Order, but besides the Malovia incident, what other achievements did I truly have to warrant a ranking?
I had juggled with the idea of potentially making it to the rankings, as unlikely as the idea was, but in the end, I realized that it was simply not possible.
If by some crazy circumstance I did make the rankings, it'd be towards the very end of the rankings.
At around the nine hundreds.
Therefore—
"And with that, the seventeenth batch comes to a close. In just a moment, we will continue with the next, under the same rules. But take note: we are drawing ever closer to the top one hundred."
By now, all thoughts about making it into the rankings were gone. I could maybe force a reason for the 1000th spot, but near the top 100? Nonsense.
It was simply not possible.
"…I guess you didn't make it, huh?"
