The nine girls stood together in high spirits, eagerly watching Rita before them. A month of training had ended, and their instructor had said she would give them two days off next.
How could they not look forward to it or be happy about finally having time to relax?
Seeing the nine little girls staring at her, Rita took out nine small money pouches she had prepared. The amounts inside were different. Since they only had two days, even the first-place reward was not much, but it was still far more than what the others received.
"Now for this month's rankings! First place, Cornelia."
Cornelia had performed very well in the basic training. Since swordsmanship and marksmanship had not officially begun yet, it was not surprising that she had taken first place.
The moment Cornelia heard that she was first, she immediately broke into a delighted smile. It was not just the reward for first place—the title alone made her happy.
Although there were no assassination ranks here with Rita, she still instinctively wanted to be the best.
"This is your reward! But remember... being first this time does not mean you will always be first. The rankings are reset every month, so don't get too proud and complacent!"
Holding the largest money pouch, Rita walked over to the blonde-haired loli and did not forget to give her a warning.
This month had only involved the most basic physical training. She might not necessarily remain first in the future. If she became too proud and complacent, the blow would only hit harder...
"Thank you, Instructor. I understand."
Cornelia accepted the money pouch and immediately reined in her excited expression.
"Good. As long as you understand! Second place, Bonnie."
Rita walked over to Bonnie and handed her the second-largest money pouch.
