Gangsters:Rise To The Top

The S-Rank Selection Begins – Unveiling the Titans

The third day of Jengraimukh Academy's Annual Sports Week had arrived, and the energy in the air was different. The excitement from the previous events still lingered, but today, the stakes were higher.

Today, the S-Rank Selection would officially begin.

Students gathered in the main stadium, eyes locked on the massive digital screen displaying a new event schedule. The usual sports games were still listed, but below them, in bold golden letters, were the words:

S-Rank Student Selection: Phase One – Aura Synchronization Test

Whispers spread like wildfire through the crowd.

"This is it… The real test starts now."

"Only five students will be chosen."

"I heard even Ayang and Dipangkar are competing!"

Everyone knew that today, the weak would be separated from the strong.

Inside the Staff Room – The Selection Panel

Miss Ananya Kutum stood before a group of senior faculty members and Student Union leaders, including Chandrosekhar (GS), Lohit (AGS), Meghali (Event President), and Ujjwal (Sports Union President).

She looked at the holographic rankings on the screen. "As discussed, the selection process will be divided into three phases to determine the strongest five students."

Chandrosekhar nodded. "Phase One is Aura Synchronization, a test that measures the raw depth, control, and resonance of a student's aura."

Meghali glanced at the data. "Most students will fall under C, B, or A-Rank. Only the truly elite will reach S-Rank."

Miss Ananya's eyes darkened. "And then… there's the SS-Rank. A ranking never achieved before."

A brief silence filled the room. None of them knew what was about to happen.

The Stadium – The First Phase Begins

A large high-tech platform was set up in the middle of the stadium, glowing with energy resonance fields.

The selection committee stood on the announcer's balcony as Miss Ananya's voice echoed through the arena.

"Welcome to the first phase of the S-Rank Selection Process—the Aura Synchronization Test!"

A massive digital screen flickered on, displaying the ranking categories:

1. C-Rank → Weak aura flow.

2. B-Rank → Stable aura, but limited potential.

3. A-Rank → Strong aura with powerful output.

4. S-Rank → Elite-tier resonance.

5. SS-Rank → ???

The crowd murmured in anticipation.

One by one, the participants stepped onto the resonance field, their auras scanned by the system.

The results appeared instantly:

Several C and B-Rank results filled the screen – the weaker students were immediately eliminated.

A few A-Rank results appeared, earning nods of approval from the audience.

Then, the stronger fighters stepped forward.

Rihan (Vice Leader of The Revolutionary Stars) – A-Rank.

Jasmine – S-Rank.

Ayang (Leader of The Revolutionary Stars) – S-Rank.

The crowd exploded in cheers as the strongest students began making their mark.

Then, it was Mri's turn.

Mri Steps Onto the Resonance Field

Mri stepped forward casually, his hands in his pockets.

The moment he stood inside the resonance circle, something shifted.

The energy sensors began flickering uncontrollably.

The crowd fell silent.

The screen, which had been displaying rankings smoothly for every other student, suddenly glitched.

Numbers and symbols flashed across the screen at a terrifying speed.

"Scanning Aura Strength… ERROR."

"Power levels exceeding system limit… ERROR."

"Ranking: Unknown."

The ground beneath Mri trembled.

The resonance machine sparked violently.

Then—BOOM!

A massive shockwave erupted from the platform, sending a pulse of energy through the entire stadium!

The machine exploded into pieces.

Dust and smoke filled the air.

One student standing in the crowd , wearing spectacles was watching that,he muttered "Ok,he is the one."

The students stared in disbelief.

The selection panel stood frozen.

The screen blinked once more, and a new ranking appeared:

SS-Rank → Mri (??? – Power Undefined)

The first SS-Rank in the history of Jengraimukh Academy.

Silence… Then Chaos

For a few moments, nobody spoke.

Then, the entire stadium erupted into a frenzy.

"WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED?!"

"Did Mri just break the system?!"

"SS-Rank?! That's not even possible!"

Among the shocked expressions, a few stood out.

Ayang clenched his fists, a sharp glint in his eyes.

Dipangkar's usual confidence wavered, his jaw tightening.

Jasmine, standing at the sidelines, stared at Mri, her mind racing.

Even Mri himself looked confused.

He hadn't even used his full aura.

Back in the Staff Room – Panic Among the Officials

The selection committee was in complete chaos.

Miss Ananya stared at the data in disbelief. "This… this isn't possible. No student has ever surpassed S-Rank before."

Chandrosekhar took a deep breath. "What do we do now? He just destroyed the entire ranking machine."

Meghali's voice was calm but serious. "We continue the selection. But Mri… he's not normal."

Present – Mri's Thoughts

As the crowd continued buzzing, Mri stepped off the broken platform, his mind blank.

He had always known he was strong. But this?

This was something even he hadn't expected.

Jasmine approached him quietly. "Mri… did you know you had this much power?"

Mri exhaled, shaking his head. "No."

Jasmine crossed her arms, looking at him with curiosity. "Then I guess we'll both find out soon, won't we?"

She walked away, leaving Mri alone in the chaos.

Far in the distance, hidden figures watched from the shadows.

A member of the Amai Gang whispered into a communicator.

"Change of plans. Mri is more dangerous than we thought."

The reply came in a cold, calculated voice.

"Then we must eliminate him before he fully realizes his strength."

The Sports Week was far from over.

But now, Mri was the biggest target in the academy.
