Chapter 321: The First Place

"In the first place, a student that the first one in the history who passed all the tests with a perfect score is," Jessy spoke in one breath; when she said those words, the students, even those seniors, were haling their breath.

The crowd was waiting for Jessy to spoke; even Jessy could felt the intense pressure from their gaze. She was the person who was most shocked because she knew the person was no one else; rather, she was too familiar...

"Student Desmond! Please step in the podium," Jessy clapped her hands, but she saw all of those students were frozen in the spot.

Especially those seniors that thought Desmond was just a little bit stronger than average new students, but who would know that he was basically a monster among the lamb!

The first one in academy history!

They then noticed their goddess, Alice, was staring at Desmond with full of pride; her smile melted the heart of those male students and made the women envious.

Pure and cold.

All eyes then searched Desmond's figure; they found him calmly standing in the middle of the crowd. Upon seeing his situation, the crowd sneered.

Even though they did not dare offended him for now, at least they could slow down or even embarrassed him for taking too long.

Meanwhile, Desmond gazed at the blocked path. No one of these students gave him or stepped aside.

What a childish move, Desmond thought while shaking his head. He then looked at Jessy but found her just be ignorant and even winked at him; oh, I'm surprised she also annoyed with me.

Desmond then tried to move one of those students' bodies, but another appeared, purposely slowing his movement and disturbing his path.

Okay, kids, you really forced me, he thought as his gaze turned cold to the surrounding people. If not for the academy prohibited fight outside the arena, he could be blasted them away with one spell.

Custom Spell: Barrier.

"He is crazy!"

"Run!"

When those students noticed Desmond seemed angry and crazy chanting the spell amidst the ceremony, they began freaking out and scattering away.

Jessy was frowning upon seeing his brutal method; the white-robed people behind her almost stepped out to resolve the situation but were halted by her hands.

"Stop, look at his hands. He did not even cast a harmful spell,"

As Desmond gathering energy around his hands, he was amused by how clear the path was. Then the natural energy created a faint layer of barrier, yet the barrier did not protect his body, instead of creating a starting to ascend to the mid-air.

*step* *step*

Desmond slowly took his first step, making the barrier he stepped on, letting out a trembling sound. The moment his feet landed, the barrier still looked fine without any sign of breaking.

Those students running away from him were shocked; they never thought a barrier could be used like this. Even Jessy and the white-robed people were a bit startled upon witnessing his idea.

"He is really a monster," Jessy silently muttered when he saw Desmond slowly heading toward the podium with his looked like flying in mid-air.

"Young lady, young master is really genius as what you said," Meanwhile, on the audience seats, Felix's daughter praised as she noticed her lady just nodded as reply with her eyes still locked on him.

Young lady really loves his brother, her gaze softened upon thinking about this, she just came to know the moment her lady attention locked to her young master, she did not have a chance to get a proper conversation against her.

On the other side of the audiences seats, Elizabeth and Diana unconsciously staring deeply at Desmond, that was walking in mid-air.

They could not help but think of Desmond as the most perfect man in their life. If not for their power too weak, they might be the ones who walked by his side.

Ahh! What did I think! Elizabeth slapped her face with both hands as soon she realized something was wrong with her mind. Her face looked like a tomato.

She glanced at the side and glade upon seeing Clark sitting beside her did not notice her strange behavior. His eyes also looked toward Desmond but with a cold and indifferent expression.

"Congratulation, student Desmond. Your achievement is really unrivaled and very graceful," As soon Desmond arrived at the podium, Jessy smiled. She could not help but look at him once more; she did not believe the student in front of her was the most talented one among the others.

She secretly searched the black-haired girl but found her sulking in the corner with her head lowered.

"Thank you, Teacher Jessy," Desmond bowed and then glanced at the white-robed people whose faces were covered by a hoodie. He then looked toward the strange big furnace but did not dare to scan it.

Oh god, this is really annoying; Desmond cursed inwardly. There were too many things he wanted to scan, such as the combat power of those white-robed people, the strange furnace, and he also wanted to scan the academy area as a reference to add to his map.

The two did not realize they were in a daze, making the white-robed people coughed to bring her attention back.

"E-hm, pardon me, student Desmond," Jessy faking her chough and slightly lowered her head in embarrassment.

"No problem," Desmond replied humbly and secretly, trying to peek at where Jessy glanced.

"Please place your right hand in the entrance of the furnace," Jessy pointed to the large furnace behind her back while the new students were dumbfounded by the situation.

On the other hand, Desmond was the most shocked and astonished by her words!

Did you want me to sacrifice my hand again?! He looked at the strange furnace behind her and found there was a raging fire inside of it, it looked like it was ready to devour his hand.

His face darkened, and his lip twitching seeing Jessy still pointed her finger without giving any explanation. He looked at those seniors and found them smirked while her sister, Alice, just repeatedly nodded as if she was saying it was okay.

Oh my god, it seemed my sister's brain did not function properly; in the end, Desmond trusted no one and kept staring at Jessy, who had a plastered smile on her face.

"Pardon my rudeness, teacher Jessy. May I ask what the uses of putting my hand in that violent fire?" Desmond spoke in displeasure upon noticing Jessy seemed to be distracted as she kept glancing at his back.
