    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith''s group headed to the hall. And they were shocked by the grandness and size. The venue was sparkling; it was bright like a jewel!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"This looks amazing,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We''re going to be using this from now on,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith,e on. Stop acting like a sour lemon," Carolyn nudged Keith''s back. There were two people who weren''t focused on the venue.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith scoffed, "You can only say that because that old geezer didn''t put more work on you."


    <span style="font-weight:400">Cadmus made the test extra hard because he was in it! That was something he knew for sure!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Anyways, look at the top. Your family is talking with mine," Keith looked up. The auditorium was split into two sections. There were seats for the parents to sit at the top. He saw William and Julius''s family talking with one another.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Leon and Laura waved their hands. Keith smiled as he waved back at the two.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Are those your siblings?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"They''re cute,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You know it," Keith nodded. They were all waiting for Cadmus toe up. But the people who came up were wearing the same uniform as him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Good morning, Everyone. I''m the student council president," She started to talk. But Keith wasn''t focused. He zoned out. After she had finished her speech, another person came up to give a speech.


    <span style="font-weight:400">There were some others before Cadmus got on the podium.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Thank you foring here today. And it seemed this year''s batch of students are amazing," Cadmusmented. But he also added,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"There''s also someone I''m interested in this batch as well,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Huh?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Who would that be?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"A student who could make the principal interested? Who is this person?!" Everyone''s ears perked when they heard that.


    <span style="font-weight:400">What is he saying?! Keith blinked a few times before he turned to Sohma, who had a constricted expression! That was not part of the script! And Cadmus continued,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"This student is extraordinary. I will say he is the strongest student in this whole academy."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." The expression on everyone''s face changed in an instant. The strongest student? The kid was still a freshman. How could he be the strongest?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Who is it?" Everyone was too curious about who this person was! The way he said it made it hard not to.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Now I''m curious who the principal is talking about," Sarah remarked. The strongest student. Who wouldn''t be curious about this?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Whoever he chooses would be in the spotlight. And it''s a bad one," Gabriel sighed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?" Jack and Sarah tilted their heads.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It''s like having a walking target on your back," Gabriel exined.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Who do you think it is?" Carolyn had a mischievous grin as she stared at Keith. Keith''s expression was indescribable right now. That was because he knew who Cadmus was talking about.


    <span style="font-weight:400">It was too easy to figure out who this person was. Please, let it be someone else.


    <span style="font-weight:400">However, Keith hoped it wasn''t him he was talking about.


    <span style="font-weight:400">While Cadmus continued his speech, he added, "Also, this year''s S-ss will be interesting!" S-ss. That was the highest grade. It represented the best students of the year.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What ss is everyone in?" Keith turned to the four,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I got S-ss," Carolyn answered with a proud smile.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"S as well," Gabriel smiled.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"The two of us got B," Jack and Sarah answered.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I guess the three of us are in the same ss," Gabriel and Carolyn are both in S ss. Jack and Sarah were in B-ss.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Aww, I wanted to be in the same ss as Keith," Sarah frowned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I think we have joint sses together," There were some sses where all of their sses had to do together.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah," Carolyn added.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"And here are the top students in our grade!" Cadmus stated as a giant chart appeared behind him!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Huh?!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"He''s showing it?!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith listened to everyone around. He looked at his group, "I take it that this isn''t a normal event?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Principal Cadmus really does the strangest things," Gabriel shook his head.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Carolynughed, "I think it''s because of one student he''s interested in,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Keith said nothing. The only thing he could do was to pray. Don''t screw me over.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"The top 50 are shown right now!" Cadmus stated with an excited look on his face.


    <span style="font-weight:400">One by one, the students who were in the top 50 were shown. Keith and the rest looked at it,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Your names haven''t shown up,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Guess we''re in the top 25," Keith stated. And it was only in the top 10 did their names started to show,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Oh! I''m number 10!" Carolyn pped her hands.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Good job,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"As expected of a princess." The other students stared at her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What about the others?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Nine was someone he didn''t know. But eight was Gabriel.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Good job, Gabriel."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It was nothing," Gabriel grinned, "So I''m guessing your rank should be top five?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I think that''s a little too much," Keith chuckled.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Your name is the only one that hasn''t been shown." Gabriel noticed it. There was no way Keith was lower than him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He was stronger than him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Seven, six, and five. Those spots were not Keith.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith! You''re in the top three!" Carolyn shook Keith''s shoulders.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...I see." Dear god, no.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He continued to watch the names show up. And what happened was Keith was thest one.
