Continuation of Apollo's POV.
Our exam ended with my friends having quite a few mistakes although their overall score was still able to pass. It was still good and our class still received an excellent grade.
Our good performance extended when we took Professor Alejo's exam in Survival Lesson 1.
The experiences we had in the previous subjects aided us in tackling the survival challenges in that exam, especially the ones we learned from identifying the beast from Professor Timothy's Beastmology.
The covered lesson in Survival Lesson 1 for the first quarter was surviving in the wilderness.
Surviving in the wild does not just involve stable food sources and shelter, it also involves surviving against predators and dangerous magical plants. Our earlier exam made us exceptionally aware of our surroundings making us all survive during a beast encounter.
After taking those two we all hurled towards our rooms and rest.
"I am tired"
They began to mumble while we all decided not to sleep together since we were too tired to make our beds inside the tea room.
"See you guys tomorrow"
"Yeah"
With our bellies full we let our tiredness take us towards our dreams. Chapter Your:
Even I was tired, continuously thinking took a toll on my mind and now all I want is rest"
"Maybe Jeremiah is right, I am really thinking too much"
While my thoughts drift away my mind slowly calms until all my problems are swallowed by my sleep.
The sun began to set while the stars lined up in the vast sky. Crickets began to sing while the cold breeze began to touch us. The night came without us even witnessing it.
...
On the third day of the exam, Sunday morning a supposed day of rest was filled with whispers, as we tried to think of our exam for Advancement and physical training.
"I wonder what Professor Adolfo had in store for us"
Blair absentmindedly said while putting the bacon in his mouth.
"I felt worried thinking we might fail his"
"Don't say that Casper we never got low grades in his assessment so it should be fine, we can definitely do whatever exam he threw"
Matilda said trying to convince her friend that it would be alright.
"That reminds me of our first assignment to him, I never expected to receive something like that"
Blair said while handing a glass of water to Vesta who was sitting right beside him.
"It's because it'll be easier for us to make a move when nobody cares for us. The more we were treated as nothing the less attention we received. The less attention the more peaceful"
I began to think, well her words were right and maybe I should apply it to myself.
[Really? Low key? You?]
"Why?"
[First, you literally blow up multiple golems on the entrance exam and use your strongest spell, Thunder Aura, and not only did you melt the labyrinth made by the professors but you also traumatized multiple students who only wanted to study here]
"...."
I have no idea what to say now, I don't know if I have a right to refute that sentence.
[Creator what's with the sudden silence]
"I was thinking if it's too late to lay low and cause less attention"
[That is too late Creator since that thought didn't exist in your head when you first enrolled here, and you even made such a ruckus on your very first day]
I can't help but sigh, since my previous self was so keen on taking rank 1, I didn't think about the possible consequences accompanying it. Well, there is nothing I can do now the damage has been done.
Back to us who were leisurely taking our walk towards the assembly hall, we noticed how some students would stare at us, though somehow it felt different. Their look was different from before.
How should I say this?
They look afraid? Scared or even perhaps angry?
I can tell, that in those eyes have a mix of emotions that I don't really want to care about. They are after all useless, it's not like my current problems will disappear if I care about them. So I pay no attention to them and hopefully, my classmates will too.
After some stares and gossip we encounter, we finally arrive inside the assembly hall, and just like what happened in the general assembly we have no chairs to sit on.
Seriously again?
Somehow I don't have the strength to be angry anymore. So I just flicked my finger and made some chairs for us.
"Let's just sit"
"Apollo what if the staff come here again?" Alicia asked feeling bothered since they are a bit annoying.
"I don't really think they will cause a scene here since I heard we have quite a few guests from the eastern kingdoms"
"From the east?"
"Yes"
For some sort of reason, I felt a sudden attachment towards that place.
"Did the illusion really affect me this much?" I thought while fixing my posture as we sat.
