After defeating that turd, I returned to my quarters. I don't need to be there to know about the results of other matches. They are not useful at this point. If it was a competition where we have to fight till only one of the students stands, then I would say it's useful to observe others in order to prepare for the next round clash, but there is no need.
Since my exam is over, I decided to go back instead of wasting time here anymore. It's almost noon and I am hungry. So I ordered food on my way back to my quarters.
I ordered Tier-3 Sheep monster meat for the day. It was very tasty and also the best that I can buy with the pitiful amount of points that I have.
It was not me trying to cover up my strength or anything like that. The points that I can gain from the dungeons are pitifully low as those dungeons are only useful for the first years. The monsters are lower rank and the quantity of monsters would also be low in these dungeons.
If there are more monsters, even if their rank is not high, they can dry out the energy of the person and kill them in the end. This was not something that the academy wanted.
The academy knows that they can't protect the students 24X7 and that they need to know what the world is really like but it doesn't need to be done in year one.
The academy is after all established to strengthen the nation not just in quality but also in quantity.
The first-year students are still kids and there is no reason to put the burdens of the world on our shoulders at this point. There are many old guys who can hold the sky so that we who are still at the sprout stage can grow into sturdy trees.
So the academy doesn't allow students to go through high-level dungeons, which would give a lot of points in return. This was a negative for me.
The lower-quality foods are losing their effect on my physique. The attributes that I am gaining are becoming lesser and lesser in number. To make the best use of my physique, I have to eat high-quality food, which I can't do as lack the points to buy them.
Midnight...
Ding!
Ah, a notification on the school website. It seems the results are out.
I opened the list the academy published on the website.
The result was obvious. I ranked first in the exam.
It was a foregone conclusion. Though I don't know how they rated my duel, still I won that match without getting hit by the opponent's attack, not even a single time.
Though it may have appeared to the teachers that I was playing my opponent, they should also estimate my battle experience. Coupled with my Status, that I let them see they should have estimated that I deserve the top spot, no matter what.
The dungeon points that I gained should have made it easier for me to gain the first spot. There is no way that others could have gained that spot, no matter what.
Ah, let's sleep for now. I have to travel and using the teleportation circle is not a fun activity. My body needs to be in good condition so that I won't throw up when I return home and be embarrassed in front of the family. That would be bad for life.
It was okay if you were embarrassed in front of strangers, as long as you wouldn't see them again in your life and they were not famous.
The family though is a bit complicated. It's not just family. If I embarrass myself in Winter City, it would affect not just me but also my parents. So proper rest for the body, so that my body would be in optimum condition and not be affected by the space tunnel.
