Chapter 2355 Achievement

"That's him!... That's the instructor of Hall 6!"

"I have never seen him... he looks so young, is that really him?"

"Yes... he's been in seclusion for months, but that's definitely him."

The moment Emery stepped into the personal exam arena, whispers spread like wildfire among the gathered acolytes and instructors. His presence immediately drew attention, a mixture of awe and curiosity rippling through the crowd.

Though he had been out of the public eye for half a year, his reputation had only grown in his absence. The astonishing achievements of Hall 6 had solidified his place as one of the academy's most respected, yet controversial, figures.

Emery strode forward, walking side by side with Klea, together, they ascended to the special instructors' balcony, an elevated platform that overlooked the arena.

Hundreds of eyes followed them, some gazed with admiration, others with envy, and a few with barely veiled resentment. The legacy of Hall 6 had stirred animosity from rival halls, particularly those that had been overshadowed by Emery's rising popularity. Emery remained unfazed by the glances, the whispers, and the undercurrents of emotion swirling around him. His eyes were fixed on his destination—the corner of the balcony where several familiar figures were waiting.

Gathered there was a group of his peers. Sirin, the Peafowl Empress, Harambe, the Mighty Kong, Toleno, the Spectral Swarm, and then, leaning nonchalantly against the railing, with his usual smug grin, was Lucius Corvin. This gathering wasn't just to observe the final days of the personal exam—they were here to celebrate their acolytes' hard-earned success.

The half-bloods have been making waves since the beginning of the mid-exam, showcasing their newly honed skills and remarkable progress. There was a record number of half-blood acolytes who had achieved bronze and silver insignias. This surge in success is attributed to a combination of improved collaboration among the half-blood halls and the potent effects of the newly created elixirs.

Lucius was glowing with satisfaction, shamelessly taking most of the credit of the achievements.

"This is amazing, how many in total?" Lucius asked with a smirk.

The battle between Shinta and Stella was nothing short of spectacular. Stella's techniques were flawless, her mastery of starlight leaving trails of shimmering energy in her wake. But despite her prowess, Shinta's strength was undeniable. The Khaos energy swirled around her, each burst to push back Stella's light, creating a mesmerizing contrast between the darkness and light.

The crowd was on the edge of their seats, gasping at the intensity of the fight. However, in the end, Shinta stood victorious and claimed the title of the strongest female acolyte.

Emery and the other half-blood instructors cheered in unison, united by the sense of pride that came with Shinta's incredible performance. Despite their differences, all the instructors shared a deep sense of satisfaction seeing one of their own rise to such a level. Shinta's success was not just personal—it was a victory for all half-bloods, proof that they could compete among the best in the academy.

However, their joy was tempered with frustration. Shinta was not given a chance to fight the top two ranked acolytes, which left many feeling the rankings were rigged against her.

"This is bullshit!" Toleno grumbled with a scowl. He was convinced the academy deliberately kept a half-blood from taking the top spot, a sentiment that simmered in the air. Emery could understand the frustration. He too had expected Shinta to be allowed to prove herself against the first and second-ranked fighters. Despite the irritation, he remained calm, knowing that such complaints wouldn't change the outcome. For now, they had to accept the result and take pride in what they had achieved.

After the initial venting, the mood shifted. Even with the apparent bias, the final result was impressive, and everyone in the half-blood faction could see how far they had come. The list of rankings was displayed for all to see, marking the accomplishments of those who had fought valiantly:

[Rank 90 - Yubei - Hall 42]

[Rank 77 - Rurik Kenaz - Hall 9]

[Rank 64 - Evalice - Hall 6]

[Rank 48 - Elara Greenheart - Hall 26]

[Rank 25 - Blaine - Hall 6]

[Rank 18 - Rajh Rakugan - Hall 9]

[Rank 3 - Shinta Ouroboros - Hall 9]
