Chapter 35 Results And Changes

Afterward, I returned home and lay on the bed with the two sleeping beauties. I couldn't sleep since I wasn't tired. I stared at the ceiling, thinking.

Before I knew it, it was already morning, the sun had risen, and Serena and Olivia were beginning to be awake. I hugged them tightly before going to the school board, checking my score and roommates.

Arriving in ten minutes, I could see students from different grades. There were four grades with different results. Checking the first grade, I scored twenty-fifth on the written test, second on the mana test, and first on the specialized test, leaving me first on the overall test.

Serena scored second on the written test, first on the mana test, and second on the specialized test. Overall she was second in our grade. I was surprised that I beat her. I guess the school wasn't biased. The specialized test must be an essential factor.

Now I found Olivia's score. I was worried about her test. I wanted her to be in our class. Her written test was below average, ranking three hundred and twenty-five. She ranked fifth on her mana test and twenty on the specialized test. Overall she was twenty-seven in my class. I was relieved that she did well enough to become a classmate of mine.

I checked my acquaintance's score, but they weren't looking so good. Tess had an overall ranking of seventy-five, making her an A-class student. Jenny was ranked fifty-two, almost making it to S.

Without anything to do, I went back. Serena and Olivia were awake when I got back. "Did anything interesting happen during your walk?" Olivia asked, wondering how my stroll went.

"I saw the results of our exam." Looking at their reaction, I could see them perk up.

"I have no doubt that I would pass, but I bet Olivia stayed at A rank." Even though I did it with her yesterday, she was still mad that Olivia did that to her.

Olivia, who heard that it was downcast, wanted to be in our class no matter what. "How did I do?" She was nervous when she said that.

I could say she did terribly, but I would feel like shit if I said that. Being the good guy, I told the truth. "Don't worry, you got to S class." I gave her a hug congratulating her.

Kissing her on the cheeks, she smiled bashfully. "You did well." "Hehehe~" She chuckled while making a stupidly funny face.

Serena, who was watching, was jealous of our interaction. But she did well enough to earn it, so she would let her have a moment this time.

I didn't want to leave Serena out of it, so it was her turn for a smooch. "You also did very well. I look forward to becoming your classmate again." She returned my hug and squeezed me tightly.

After our short celebration, we ate and started to head toward class. There weren't many people here since the class wasn't ready for fifteen minutes.

I took my usual seat with Serena. Olivia, who was new to this class, took one to my front. "It's a shame that Jenny was so close," Olivia said, missing her old classmate. You can't have them all.

They talked about random topics for fifteen minutes, the class was filled, about eighty percent of the students were replaced with new ones, new faces appeared and some old. Our teacher Ms. Mary arrived looking like her usual self.

"Good morning, everyone. I'm Mary Celeste, Class S-1 homeroom teacher. You may call me Ms. Celeste or Miss Mary or a teacher, whatever fits your taste. Some of you may not be in my class next month, but it's nice to have you." Wait, didn't she say this just last month? Was it really a script?

"Now that the first month has passed, the first years would be open to facilities they couldn't access. For example, you would be able to go to the mission board and earn credits by completing them. In addition, you would have access to this academy's special dungeon that would allow you to fight monsters in there." I was getting bored of staying in my house for the whole day, now I could see what's more in store. A bit of excitement was added to me when she said that.

"We made an identity card for you. Please come and pick your card up in order." Ms. Mary called us up one by one in the seating orders from front to back.

I then picked up my card, and my face was on it. There were rankings for multiple things and credit. I had a thousand credits on my card with an overall first ranking. There were also rankings for the arena for students who fought. Dungeon ranking for how many floors they've cleared.

I was ranked a thousand and five hundred and one for both of my rankings. Is it the same for everyone or just me being first for overall ranking?

"Starting now, the arena and dungeon ranking will be added to your monthly test. Please check them out before the end of the month so you won't have to drop this class." Some students were glad that this system was implemented, while others looked down.

Students like Olivia didn't like this idea because her magic specializes in support. So she wouldn't be able to fare well against other students.

"Ms. Mary, what about students with no specialties with an attack? Doesn't this discriminate against people who can't use their magic to attack?" A student with black hair said, questioning our teacher.

"Sorry to disappoint you, but this school is to nurture the strong. If you want a suggestion, while supporting class, mages can't fare well against attacking mages. They could always develop a move that would assist them in countering them no matter how illogical it is."

"By the way, dungeons are limited to six people. You can't have more than six people at your party." She didn't want someone to show up to a dungeon with more than six people.
