"Congratulations on finishing the practical test," Professor Maunt's voice echoed across the courtyard as we turned to face him. "You are... the third team to get out of the Ruin."
Huh, we were third? Did the MC beat us?
Wait, did he say get out? Then.
"But..." He paused. As I expected, he didn't finish his words just now. "You were the first to conquer the simulated Ruin! Good job."
A wave of excitent washed over us, followed by cheers and high-fives exchanged among the three of our team mbers. Even Aria couldn't hide a small smile at our success.
"Great job, everyone," I said, a sense of pride swelling within .
"Of course we did," Lila agreed, her eyes sparkling with triumph. "I was with you after all."
Ardel nodded, his expression reflecting the satisfaction of our victory. Kairen, as usual, remained quiet but his smile spoke volus.
"We'll announce the full results in one hour. Until then, you can go rest," Professor Maunt continued, smiling at our group. "Well done, again."
With that, we dispersed, heading towards the academy's garden to relax and celebrate our little success. Despite my calm deanor, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in what we had accomplished more precisely in the improvent of our teamwork and relationship. Now, Ardel was more open around us, and even Lila's attitude started to lt.
As we settled into a quiet corner of the garden, surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature, I couldn't help but rember those monts I fought against the stone monsters and golem. Although it was dangerous... but the feeling... It was thrilling!
I can't wait for tomorrow's exploration.
As we waited for the results to be announced, an hour passed. We returned to the classroom.
The others also returned in a while.
Then, finally, professor Maunt appeared.
"The results of both the theory and practical test are out. I won't make you wait, here, you can see for yourselves."
With a flick of his fingers, two large holographic screens appeared in the air beside him. They showed the results of both tests.
[Theory Test Rankings]
- 1st: Adrian Lighthaven - 100 points. 25/25 correct.
- 2nd: Aria Starlight - 100 points. 25/25 correct.
- 3rd: Aurelia - 92 points. 23/25 correct.
- 4th: Lyra Nigtengale - 92 points. 23/25 correct.
- ...
- ...
The list continued.
Obviously, I was in the first place, Aria following after . She lost to because of ti. But that doesn't an I am better than her.
Anyway, surprisingly, Sis got the third barely winning Lyra. 6th and 7th places were shared by Ren and Aurelius. While Eric got the 10th place.
5th place was stolen by the red-haired elf beauty, Irithel.
I searched for my teammates' points and ranks. After all, it would be over if their points were lower than 70.
After searching for a while, I spotted Lila's na in the 43rd rank with 84 points. At least, she is good at theory.
Then ca Kairen with 80 points 55th place.
While Ardel barely managed to pass the theory test with 72 points in the 105th place. Guess, he needs help in this area as well.
"Woah, he ranked first again!"
"He beat the princess this ti too!"
"But he only won because he finished first."
"Our princess could've won if she took it seriously!"
Ugh, can these guys keep quiet?
Complaining about their similarity to my classmates back from Earth, I looked over to the Practical Test Rankings.
[Practical Test Rankings]
- 1st. Team Adrian. mbers: Adrian Lighthaven, Aria Starlight, Lila Ashburn, Ardel Dayne, and Kairen. Points: 100/100. Evaluation: 6 stars
2nd. Team Ren. mbers: Ren Wintershade, Aurelia, Aurelius Avondale, Irithel Silvershade, and Joy Killua. Points: 97/100. Evaluation: 5 stars
3rd. Team Eric. mbers: Eric Stoneheart, Lyra Nightengale...
Points: 90/100. Evaluation: 5 stars
The rest of the list followed with varying scores.
Well, we got the first place with a perfect score. Though our evaluation seed one star low from the perfect evaluation - 7 stars.
"Woah! Look! Our princess was in the sa team as him!"
"Damn, how lucky!"
"I wanted to be in the sa team as them."
"Hmph, the other three must have relied on them."
"Yeah, obviously."
Hmm? Why are they-... No, this is in their nature after all. Jealousy and envy. Not surprised. Heck, I would be surprised if they didn't say these things.
It would an they didn't have emotions or they could hide in themselves.
Ignoring the murmurs around us, I turned around to see the three. They also must have heard those murmurs.
I noticed Lila's frowning, her eyes burning with rage. Haha, I think she would have yelled at them if not for the professor's presence.
But, Ardel seems a bit low. Probably because of his personality, it affected him the most.
As for Kairen... Well, never mind, he probably doesn't give a thing about their words.
"Students, all of you have seen the results. So, you should know whether you passed the test or not. As for the practical test, I with other instructors scored every team based on their teamwork, problem-solving abilities, combat skills, and overall performance," Professor Maunt explained, his voice cutting through the murmurs of the students.
"The evaluations reflect not only the success of completing the test but also the quality of your teamwork and skills."
He paused, letting his words sink in before continuing. "I am proud to say that all of you have shown remarkable progress and determination. The top three teams demonstrated exceptional teamwork and skill, and they will be rewarded accordingly."
"The best team was obviously the first team on the rankings. They showed great teamwork, handling things efficiently, good coordination and plans. All the team mbers played their roles well."
"They also managed to retrieve the artifact without any casualties and defeated the Guardian of the Ruin, The Mutated Golem with impressive strategy and coordination," Maunt continued, his voice filled with admiration. "For these reasons, Team Adrian receives the highest evaluation and six stars."
"And, now, as promised, I will distribute the rewards for the top three teams."
