667 Passing is Too Easy
The students and teachers gathered in the grand hall as the initial announcement rang.
The second-year students also gathered close by. Normally, they would be uninterested in this. But a certain ss had garnered great hate as the students had offended many. The magical projection was also being shown all over the school, and even those in their fourth and fifth years were watching.
The news of Pedagog Bermivus''s death spread like wildfire. It became a hot topic, and everyone became interested in Teacher Emeros.
Many did so in anger, while others were astonished. No one in the kingdom had ever been significantly favored by a heavenly man.
The Master Teacher unsealed the power of the Codex, and the magical Codex whirled with great light.
Suddenly, the lights exploded, and the Codex disyed a holographic image that shed above.
The Master Teacher read the projected words.
"3,213. True Legends ss. Formerly Ranked 1st among first years, new rank: 1st."
The numbers disyed were shocking to everyone. It showed the total points, the ss name, the former rank, and the new rank.
A list of all thirty-three students and their respective points was shown. The highest was 93, while the others averaged 60s.
"Hmp. You still need to rely on me to win." A tall, fair-skinned woman frowned and nced at her ssmates, who were all bowing in shame.
"Oh, not bad! Not record-breaking, but not bad." Zwelus smiled.
The ss named the True Legend retained their ce, and all cheered.
"Next ss..." The Master teacher tapped on the Codex.
"3,201. Over Mana ss. Formerly Ranked 3rd among first years, new rank: 2nd."
Another ss rejoiced loudly, while another began to groan in defeat.
"Next ss: 3,197 Meta Mages. They were formerly ranked 2nd among first years, but their new rank is 3rd."
The Meta Mages were not excited and continued to curse andin as they noted their individual records. Although they were only short by four points, almost every student had regrets about the exam.
Emeros watched in amazement. He could see that the points the three sses had acquired had increased by over 2000 points!
He silently watched and turned to his ss, who looked nervous.
"Is 1135 points possible? Such a great gap..." Emeros could only watch helplessly now. He cursed himself and even vowed to try and be more serious in teaching the students.
ss after ss was named. The most surprising was the twenty-fourth ss, who suddenly shot to the top ten!
"2,122. We''re Doing Our Best. Formerly ranked 24th. New Rank: 10th! My congrattions on a shocking leap!" The Master Teacher shouted.
There was a great eruption of cries, and many lifted three students above their shoulders.
The points showed that two students had over fifty points!
"Amazing improvement!" The Master Teacher cheered.
Meanwhile, Mackerel turned to Chevik.
"You think you can earn fifty points?" Mackerel asked.
"I don''t know. I was only a student for three months before I was tossed into the Vashura ss. I never even made it through the tests," Chevik sighed.
Everyone was nervous.
Though theypleted and perfected several tests, that could only award them ten points!
The list went on and on. The differences between one rank and those lower were not so great. Some had less than 30 points difference. This continued from the 15th spot down to the 40th.
Teachers, senior teachers, and master teachers all appeared in the sses named to congratte or reprimand their students. Some of the sses mentioned belonged to teachers standing around Emeros. But with respect to Emeros''s worries, they did not move.
"1,729. Fire Heart Passion. Formerly ranked 42nd. New rank: 41st!" The master teacher announced as the ss cheered. Though many sses had leaped ahead, they had surpassed many and still acquired 41st ce!
In ce of Teacher Fred, a Senior Teacher walked up.
"See, Emeros? The very teacher that you want to kill is far from your level. Many sses taught by senior teachers have made great leaps. And Teacher Fred has led his ss valiantly in fighting thispetition!"
"Master Teacher Desyerto, is it so nice to taunt a young teacher who has barely been given a month to teach his ss?" Crea''s Master Teacher finally spoke out.
"Master Teacher Verde!" Zwelus and Crea voiced out.
"Hahaha! This teacher has in a Pedagog! Surely, such miracles are not beyond his reach!" Desyertoughed.
"This school challenges the genius and the prodigy! With too much power, a higher standard must be ced! That is only logical! Therefore, Emeros should be held ording to the miracles he has made! But s, not even the heritage he received from the Heavenly Triangle or the Continents Above the Sky has helped him catapult his team! If I had the same knowledge, my ss would easily enter the top fifty!" Desyerto boasted.
"Right!" "Exactly!"
The other teachers behind Desyerto also taunted.
"With such heritage, I would have easily ascended to the heavens!" Another teacherughed.
The teachers around Emeros were silent and could not argue. They did have some valid points! Emeros was believed to have a great heritage.
Emeros was trembling in anger. He opened his mouth wide to answer but then froze.
"Oh? Cat got your tongue, Teacher Emeros?" Desyerto challenged.
The restughed, but then they noticed it wasn''t just Teacher Emeros who had his mouth wide open. All the teachers behind Emeros and even the Master Teacher of Crea, Master Teacher Indon, were also petrified in shock.
"Hm?" Desyerto was confused.
"One... One..." A shocked voice echoed out behind them, and Desyerto turned around.
"1,725 points! Vashura! Formerly ranked 234th! New rank... 42nd!" The Master Teacher announcing the results was in stunned shock. "Impossible!"
"WE DID IT!" Chevik shouted with all his might, and the Vashura ss all rejoiced with him.
"Master Teacher, do not lie to us! How did this ss earn such a high rank? Show us the student scores!" Dessert couldn''t ept this.
The Master teacher tapped it again to disy the student scores.
The projection showed the names of all the students and their respective scores.

The scores all appeared and caused even the first ss to widen their eyes.
"Over a hundred points?! Four students of the Vashura have acquired over a hundred points?!"
"The one on the first spot! He nearly has two hundred points! He is even more than twice the points of the First Year Prodigy Lefrea!"
The tall, fair-skinned woman of the True Legends ss trembled at the score of Mackerel.
Emeros quickly stabbed the vine down the ground and pulled as the vine began like a giant slingshot.
Like an angry bird, Emeros shot himself out, and the vine on the ground also coiled and wrapped around him as they flew towards the First Year Students'' location.
Emerosnded on the ground and ran towards the excited and rejoicing ss to celebrate with them.
"CHEATERS!"
"EMEROS CHEATED!"
"INVESTIGATE THE EXAMS!"
Cries of anger were heard as those who hated Emeros began to cry out.
The Master Teacher, holding the Codex, began to tap it profusely, and numerous details began to be projected on the halls above. This time, the projection covered arger area, as all the details were magnified.
The Plus and Minus system was shown at once.
Those who scored thirty points in the ss could only bow in embarrassment.
"Don''t be sad! We barely had the chance to pass on the tricks on the other exams..." Chevik smiled as he passed them on.
"There are so few minus points... I thought you all nned to take as many tests as we could." Emeros asked Mackerel.
"We did, Teacher... but when we started to figure out the tricks, Chevik instructed us to wait, and our ss only took the exams that had a trick revealed," Mackerel exined.
Emeros saw that the ss only had a few minus points andughed.
"Master Teacher Desyerto! Isn''t passing this exam... a little too easy for me? Where was the challenge?" Emeros mocked.
"You cheater!"
"I didn''t cheat. You said it yourself! It''s because of my heritage! I killed a Pedagog! Even a Master Teacher is not at my level!" Emerosughed again.
