Book 1: Chapter 103.2: Closing the Event Part II


    <strong>Scarlet</strong>


    The first human in history to have <em>eight </em>Tier B capabilities, the crowd grows noticeably louder in volume, <em>two </em>Tier A capabilities, they grow even louder now, and the looks I see in some of their eyes is rather interesting. As if the students are looking at a monster or something. And not a single capability below Tier C! All with blood magic to tie it together!


    I really wish he wasnt ying this up so much, but I understand that he just wants to show me off to the school.


    Then the vice-headmaster does something surprising.


    He walks up to me, grabs my forearm, which makes me feel ufortable, then raises it into the air and says, And the Knight, our headmaster, and the most renowned alumni to ever graduate from this university, White, has chosen her to participate in the ss I Primary Solo Competition for this year!


    My mouth drops open in shock, while at the same time, the crowd of students gopletely silent. Even the professors show visible surprise before hiding it, showing that they didnt even know about this bit of news.


    No one says anything for several seconds before I hear pping echoing from one corner of the auditorium, bringing my eyes to Belle and the rest of my team. Then more pping from the other corner, where I see Necro smirking at me with that annoying smirk of his. And as if a bomb was set off, the pping quickly spreads throughout the auditorium and turns into loud apuse.


    The vice-headmaster lets go of my arm and actually whispers, My apologies, young miss, too quietly for anyone else to hear over the apuse. In fact, it was so quiet I dont think even Id be able to hear it if it werent for my ears. And I suspect he knows that and is why he did it.


    I frown in confusion at that term of address before he steps back to his original spot and taps his cane on the stage again, sending a wave of mist to envelop me and send me back to the other students on stage, where I was before. And I almost immediately notice the gazes towards me are filled with both fear and respect from the other top one hundred students.


    Although I cant help but notice that the vice-headmasterpletely skipped over the fact that I killed a weakened ss III student to swipe his points. Even if it wasnt really considered kill stealing when they themselves even said they wouldnt be able to kill him in the time remaining. After all, if no one was gonna be able to kill him in the time left, then why would it be considered kill stealing?


    More like using their hard work and finishing him off myself.


    <strong>And you think that makes it better? </strong>Tar asks seemingly rhetorically.


    Of course it does.


    Anyways, the vice-headmaster moves on to the next student who has some sort of aplishment, but this one was just purely about him killing the ss III demon in the magical reality. And then the next one was for the student who got the most ss III student kills and the one that got the most ss II student kills.


    They skip whoever got the most ss I student kills because Im the only ss I student up here, and normally they dont have ss I students in the top 100 rankings. Meaning none of the ss IIs or IIIs should be able to kill ss Is in the first ce. Not without a penalty. Unless the ss Is attacked them that is, but who would be stupid enough to do that?


    <strong>You did, </strong>Tar mutters, but I ignore him.


    Because I did it with a n. Theres a difference.


    A very good n.


    He snorts.


    After a few more achievement students, the vice-headmaster taps his cane on the ground, sending arge surge of mist all around the stadium before floating into the air as the mist stays at our feet. He then spreads his arms out, cane in one hand and deres, Congrattions to everyst one of you in here! Whether you made it to the Advanced ss, the Top ss, or just the Regr ss, you are all students of the top school in the world! And you should take pride in that!


    The students begin cheering at that, and the professors simply pping.


    sses will start tomorrow, and they will all be core sses that are mandatory for the students to take, the vice-headmaster continues before various professors start appearing in the air around him, these are the first year professors for this year. Remember them, first years, as you will be seeing them on a regr basis for the duration of your time as first years. The professors then vanish to reappear in their corners as he continues, The rest of you should already know your professors, and if you dont then you will when you take their sses. You will have two mandatory core sses tomorrow, along with another mandatory ss on Tuesday, and you may pick up to three elective sses to take throughout the rest of the week. But remember that the deadline for registering for these sses is tomorrow night, at midnight.


    No one says a word in response, kept silent by the eerie mist filling the room.


    If you have any questions at all, you may ask your advisor, whom you may find through our universitys website, he says something that just feels so normal in contrary to the sinister feeling his magic is giving me as the ckish-green mist just snakes across the room.


    His voice raises with an heir of authority to fill the entire hall, noticeably causing everyone  including myself  to flinch in the process, <strong>This event is now over!</strong> Then he just vanishes along with all of the mist and the professors.


    Silence fills the auditorium for who knows how long before chatter starts to rece it. And despite a lot of people looking towards me from the auditorium proper, almost no one actually tries to climb the stage to get to me, instead simply heading towards the exit.


    For good reason too, considering that Im still awkwardly surrounded by ss II and III senior students.


    Many of whom are looking my way right now.


    This isnt going to be fun.
