Unlike the first two years, there are no sester exams, only yearly ones. The students had to be at the academy by the ti of the yearly exam unless they had a good reason for their absence. If not there would be a deduction of points from the student's profile.
This would be for third and fourth-year students. For the fifth year, students had to take the exam or they wouldn't graduate. It was as simple as that.
As there were no sester exams, I returned ho promptly, once the sester was officially over. There are a few things to do at ho.
---
After returning ho, the first thing I did was to go et my mother.
I had a small chat with her before I went to my father's office to have a chat with him. Since I was busy improving my rank, I didn't communicate with the family much during the sester.
Though my father has eradicated most of the traitors from the family, a few escaped. They didn't run away, rather whatever evidence was supposed to exist disappeared, probably destroyed. Only an idiot would keep any incriminating evidence of their cris.
There was no news if there was anything new.
There was a saying that a tiger can't change its stripes or a leopard's spots. Crooks too wouldn't change easily unless there was sothing that was forcing them to.
They should have done sothing in the five months that I was away, though they might be more cautious when they were doing such things.
My father's power in the family has increased after that fiasco that involved my ex-fiance and her lover. They planned to break the marriage pact by getting rid of and that has cost them a lot.
All the resources that ca from that fiasco were put to good use. The ones that had turned against my father when that marriage pact was made, turned into a neutral party.
It was more than enough.
As long as my father brought sufficient evidence against family mbers who were causing damage to the family, he was able to punish them.
Most of the people who stood against him were no longer against him now. They acted accordingly.
This made the third elder faction suffer a lot.
My father was able to break down almost all but was cut short as evidence disappeared but we are patient. Those bastards would act again and as long we keep an eye on them, and are ready for them, then we can capture them with perfect evidence.
The problem was that the awakeners live long life. So they were patient as our vigilance was high at this point. It would not be easy to watch them forever. It would be a waste of resources.
They are waiting for that ti when we won't be watching them to make their moves.
This was what my father inford about the present situation. It has now beca a wait and see ga. Who has the patience would win this ga.
Though I understood that they won't make any assassination attempts or like that, it's best to watch my back at all tis.
After having a chat with my father, I returned to my room.
Except for those two, none of my siblings were ho. When I co ho, they won't be and when they co, I won't be.
eting each other is becoming rare and rarer.
If not for Eritrea's marriage, we wouldn't have t each other last year. It's sad but they are all doing their own things and that ans they won't be available all the ti.
There was not much to do about that.
It was already night and the ti for dinner was near. I freshened up a little before having dinner. After that, I wen to bed. Tomorrow morning, I have an appointnt to keep up with the Magic Association branch.
---
Next Morning...
I went to the Magic Association branch in the city after having my breakfast. Technically, I was dropped by the chauffeur who drove to the magic association in the city.
It looks like even though the resentnt has decreased, they have their defences up against my father's blood. The chauffeur should have sothing that can identify my rank. He would later report what he saw to the family.
Anyway, it wouldn't be a problem for . Moreover, if they see that I am Tier-2, there would be no need to spread about my rank on purpose.
"Hi, I am here for the promotion mission", I said to the receptionist.
After that, the procedure was the sa. She took to the room where there was a promotion crystal. I placed my hand on it.
A small energy entered my body.
---
[Detected that the Awakener has reached Tier-5 Level 100.]
[Awakener is qualified to take the Tier-6 promotion mission.]
[Choices were being generated...please choose one of the choices.]
--
Choice 1: Kill a Tier-7 Thunder Eagle, whose level is higher than level 50. (Not Recomnded)
Choice 2: Massacre the Darke City. Leave none alive. (Recomnded)
--
Hmm, there are only two choices this ti.
Why so?
When I first took the Tier-4 promotion mission, there were four options to choose from. The options were reduced to three when I took on the Tier-5 promotion mission.
Now for the Tier-6 promotion mission, the number of options reduced to two.
Does the number go down to one option when I take the Tier-7 promotion mission?
If that happens it would an that I won't have a choice from that mont. Looking at the options that I have been getting, the only option that would remain would probably be sothing that I won't accept to take on, no matter what.
It ans that I would be stuck in Tier-6 forever. I hope that never happens.
I an with how things were going, if there was only one choice, I can say that with one hundred percent guarantee that the choice would be sothing weird or outrageous. There is a high chance that the mission would be sothing that I would probably decline.
---
ANy for this mission, the first choice for was to kill a Tier-7 level 50 or higher Thunder Eagle. The second choice was to massacre all the inhabitants of Darke City, without leaving anyone alive.
Out of the two options, the first one appears as a normal mission but both of them don't belong to the normal category.
This is a Tier-6 promotion mission and that ans the one who takes it is at Tier-5, which is my rank.
For a Tier-5 person, it should be considered impossible to complete this task. If anyone would get this mission, they can forget about that and should choose so other mission to complete.
The problem was that the second choice that I got.
A massacre!
The mission was to massacre Darke City, which is against my principles and moreover, it is almost impossible to kill everyone there, unless you can make a nuclear-sized explosion.
If you attack the city, there will be always one or two that will be sure to escape death and survive. It ans that the mission was not completed and that ans no Tier-6.
There is an option, where one can abandon the current mission to take a new one. The only issue was that the mission one could take should be from the choices that appeared the first ti taking on the promotion.
If these options were to be given to anyone else, they most probably would fail. I, on the other hand can handle it.
"I select Choice 1", I thought in my mind as my hands were on the promotion crystal.
It is the only option for . There was no way that I would take on Choice 2.
[You have chosen the mission: Kill a Tier-7 Thunder Eagle, whose level is higher than level 50.]
[Please complete the mission to progress to Tier-6.]
[You can forfeit the choice if you can't complete the mission. Rember, doing so would reduce the grade of mission completion.]
After selecting the mission, I returned ho.
From now on, I will be a Tier-2 ranker according to everyone. This would what others would see if they tried to see my status unless they use sothing that can see through Status Disguise.

Now, my secret is safe for the ti period. Even if a few of my secrets are leaked later, I would be ready by then.
After disguising perfectly I exited the magic association. The chauffeur had his eyes on the door, clearly waiting for . He probably wanted to see if I genuinely completed the mission and reached Tier-2 or not, to later report the sa to the family elders.
