"Now! I’ll announce the ranking of all the first-year professions." Lunara shouted excitedly.
"Before announcing them, let remind you that your ranking may change depending on your performance on the exams at the end of each sester. You may be the last today, but later? If you worked—"
"Just announce them already." Zephyr murmured in irritation as he ate another chicken wing the size of my entire arm.
I was still sitting in the sa place that Aria had thrown into earlier. I had so broken bones, so I couldn’t move at all.
The difference was that later, Zephyr and Selene sat beside with a large plate filled with food and drinks as an apology for not helping .
I would have been grateful to them if Zephyr and Glutton didn’t eat half the food before approaching !
"Open your mouth." Selene said, bringing a spoon closer to my mouth.
Ignoring Zephyr and Glutton who were holding their laughs, I muttered in embarrassnt: "I can feed myself..."
"No you can’t. That will be a waste of your ntal power."
"But—!"
Suddenly, her fingers dug into my jaw brutally, sharp nails holding my skin as she forced my mouth open. Then she shoved the spoon into my mouth. I felt the at soup forcing its way into my stomach as Selene closed my mouth again.
I stared at Selene with wide eyes as she prepared another spoon. Then I glanced at Kyle Lunaris. He was still standing beside the principal without a change in his expression.
’So now you aren’t overprotective?! Fuck you!’
I opened my mouth in surrender as she shoved another spoon into it.
"First, I’ll send you the ranking of the Leadership Profession. The class representative of the first year is the rank-1 student." The principal finally finished her motivation speech as she clapped her hands.
Imdiately, our bracelets rang and a wide screen appeared in the centre of the hall.
It showed only the top 10 in the ranking, while the full ranking was sent to us.
At the top of the ranking, there was the na that I expected, shimring like the star of the ranking. It was Liora Frost.
Under her directly, Arthur Sunblade was written with a less shimring font.
All the students clapped for them as many older students began to approach the top 10 students.
That was the real purpose of the banquet: An opportunity for the students to form connections.
"Hey Selene, can you heal my hand?" I asked Selene with a smile, but she shook her head.
"I don’t want to anger Aria..."
I sighed as she shoved a spoon into my throat again.
I had to admit, the soup was really good.
"Can you show Zephyr’s rank in your bracelet then?"
"COUGH....Cough." Zephyr almost choked at my words.
"Selene, No!" He extended his hand to stop her, but Glutton barely stopped it with a tentacle.
Selene brought the hovered screen of her bracelet before . Seeing his rank, I froze.

"Pfft."
We burst into loud laughter as we saw his ranking.
I knew he did badly in the test, but last? LAST?!!
Holding my laugh, I said with a smirk: "Congrats, Zephyr... pfft... The elf kingdom is dood."
Zephyr gritted his teeth but he didn’t respond as he returned to eating food.
The principal suddenly clapped. "Now for the Combat Ranking."
The screen changed and showed other nas.
A grin tugged at my face as I saw my na, but when I focused on it, my expression turned into confusion.
’Who the fuck changed my na?!’

Before the people started clapping, I raised a hand of lightning and shouted: "Ms. Lunara. I think there is sothing wrong in my na."
Lunara shook her head. "There is nothing wrong. Your family just made us return your na. You aren’t a citizen of the elf kingdom anymore."
I blinked twice after hearing her, then turned my head toward Aria.
—We will talk later. Humph.
"...."
The people finally started clapping while approaching the top students, but for so reason — no one approached us.
"Ah... is making a connection with us seems that bad?" Selene frowned as she looked at the empty soup plate.
With a hand of lightning, I pointed at her. "There is the girl that made a hole in soone’s stomach with her bare hand, and she is also the daughter of the vice principal. In fact, he may be stopping them with his illusions."
I pointed at Zephyr. "A mad prince that made a hole in the sa person and has an ugly scary face."
"Hey!"
Then pointed at myself. "Then there is a handso genius young man that laughed at his enemies’ suffering and has just got a punch from his sister."
Finally, I pointed at Glutton. "Finally, a raven that whenever he opens his mouth, he opens it like a flesh flower full of scary tentacles."
[It’s not my fault! You aren’t allowing to use my humanoid form, so it’s your fault.]
I cleared my throat. "Ahem, in fact, I would have been surprised if soone wanted to approach us."
The next mont, I began to clench and extend my right hand. It was moveable now.
"Now for the Artificery Ranking."

’Huh?!’
I looked confused at the na at the top. Wasn’t that the guy I fought in the arena?
I recalled how he was using multiple affinities, and with his artificery talent, he could probably make great artifacts for different usages with multiple affinities.
Thankfully, he was on Eldoria’s side.
’Well, anything that can help against the demons is welcod.’
One after another, more rankings were revealed.
Morgana was ranked 1 in the alchemy and 2 in both Mana and Aether studies, and Soul and Will Studies.
Thalia Smith was ranked first in all studies, beast taming, and a profession called chanistry that was about chanical devices.
Then there was a ranking for the healing profession. Of course, Elara was ranked first while Arthur was second.
After announcing a few other rankings, we beca free to leave as there was nothing else to announce.
With my body healed completely, I was ready to open my bracelet and see my rewards, but suddenly — 2 figures approached .
A man and a woman, both had white pale skin and grey hair, with wide smiles plastered over their faces as they looked at with their bloody-red eyes
And surprisingly, the next mont...
They both took into a hug.
"What the fuck?"
