Chapter 39

Shirone was promoted to Class 5.

Siena, who knew the unique study method of the Core of Knowledge, became the homeroom instructor.

It was hard for Shirone to keep up with the classes as he had jumped up two levels, but Shirone decided to stick with his old method nonetheless.

Class 5 had a test that occurred once a week and had a final exam at the end of the month that determined a students rank for that month. In the first test, Shirone placed 40th out of the 40 students.

There were a total of 11 different subjects, and his average score was only 32 points.

However, it was worth noting that his score across all the different subjects ranged from 30 to about 33.

The average score for the second theory test was 34.

A two-point improvement in average might seem insignificant. However

His scores for all subjects increased simultaneously.

The third test was similar. However, there was one slight difference this time, as there was a steeper upward trend for he scored 36 to 39.

Its increasing all at once.

Shirones will could be felt through his progress.

Its a relief. Staying in the lower ranks for a long period of time can lead to a decrease in self-confidence.

Siena saw no such anxiety through his progress graph. He was just quietly walking his own path.

Theory tests are important. It is one of the key components that helps one evaluate omniscience.

Instructors regarded a score of about 60 or higher as the minimum standard for one to start using magic.

If he were to raise his average by 10 points per month, he can start using basic magic after three months. And if so

In less than half a year, he should be able to use basic magic.

Of course, since humans were not machines, their aptitudes varied depending on their dispositions.

However, looking at the graph now, she had a strange feeling that it might be possible since it was Shirone.

How far could he raise his score without missing a single subject?

Depending on the results, the level of Shirones potential could be judged.

His relationships are also smooth.

There were no students who looked down on Shirone because of his low grades.

By the time the students reached Class 5, their attention was focused towards the Advanced Class rather than rankings.

Countries around the world did not cut corners when trying to maintain the highest level of magic hierarchy. And especially in such situations, it was important for students to specialize in their major in order to differentiate themselves from other mages.

Therefore, students who did not yet have any kind of special skills were envious of Shirone, a specialist in light.

I, too, think he has an affinity in the Photon field.

But above all else, The photon field utilized omnipotence more than omniscience. This was because the limits were more so with the human brain itself rather than aptitude.

If Shirone had not felt the segmentation of time through insight, he would not have been able to complete the Bridge That Could Not be Crossed.

For this reason, Shirones classmates could not ignore him and lowerclassmen would often greet him during integrated class.

Ironically, one student amongst the lowerclassmen who followed Shirone the most was Mark, who returned after being punished.

Please, sit here. I saved a seat for you.

Thanks.

The leader of Class 7 took pride in the fact that he could be friendly with Shirone.

Oh! You were here! Any place for me?

Mark gasped and jumped up to greet Sharelle.

Hello!

Sharelle was one of the top students of Class 4, so she was an upperclassman who could not be easily approached.

Sharelle waved her hands with no care and sat right next to Shirone.

Our Shirone, you look a bit frail these days. I mean, your lover did leave, so obviously.

Haha! Its not like that.

Shirone waved goodbye to Sharelle and Mark then made his way towards his own classmates.

As many were the same age as him, there was a very lively and fun atmosphere.

Wow, Shirone. Youre blazing hot today as well.

Nade started off.

He was the same age as Shirone, and He had green hair which made him look like a troublemaker.

He had a cheerful personality and was a very sociable person, so there was nobody he wasnt close to. Nade was also the first person to talk to him.

He has a good personality.

His grades were somewhere in the upper-middle ranks, having no particular subject he was neither good nor bad at.

Well, if Shirone had to pick a subject he was a little better at than others, he would say it was electric magic. This was because Nade was at a level where he could somewhat cast electric magic. And considering an affinity with electricity was quite rare, he could be considered a rare talent.

There was no easy magic in the world, but the electric field was a particularly difficult one to acquire omnipotence.

Its not an attribute humans are familiar with.

After hearing his story, he understood why Nade had an affinity for it.

Nades dream was to become an inventor of magical weapons, and thanks to his constant handling of machines and electricity since childhood, he found it easy to acquire omnipotence in electricity.

Blazing hot? As if. Its so hard its killing me!

Haha! Thats why Im here. Twos better than one.

Everything put aside, he was a friend who had a talent for making people comfortable.

That was probably why Shirones classmates would go to Nade first whenever there was a topic to talk about, even if it was something trivial.

Meanwhile, two boys started walking towards where they were, arguing to and fro.

Hey, hey! Shironade, hear this.

Shirone and Nade canceled their Spirit Zone after hearing the neologism of their two names.

A classmate came close and questioned.

Which side are you, Ms. Olifer or Ms. Romie? Oh, maybe Shirone doesnt care since he has a girlfriend? What about you, Nade?

Hmm, Im, of course, Ms. Romie. Though Ms. Olifer is beautiful as well.

Ohh, my comrade! Ms. Romie is the best, Im telling you. She has a baby face! And her body Ugh!

Shirone realized again.

Its really different from Class 7.

I think they are both pretty.

Siena had a calm and cool aura, while Ethellas looks triggered everyones protective instinct.

Perhaps it was because of her curves, but even after growing, she had a baby face.

As Shirone started to worry about getting asked that question, his classmates suddenly left.

Eh?

Shirone thought it was strange and turned around to see a boy with an eccentric look heading towards him.

It was the Class 5 geek, Yiruki Mercodine.

It could be seen as bullying, but in Shirones opinion, Yiruki really didnt seem like a people person.

But even such an oddball had someone he talked to, and that was Nade, the friend of all.

What fun things were you guys talking about?

Nade shrugged.

Just the same old thing. Whos prettier, Ms. Olifer or Ms. Romie? Things like that.

All gone was his excited demeanor, for he purposely looked less excited in consideration of Yiruki.

Shirone admired his quick, mindful personality.

Something suddenly came to Nades mind.

Oh right, Shirone. Let me introduce you. This guy here is Yiruki. An outsider of Class 5.
