previous story:
Eva returns to the dorm early to meet with Vivian. Eva gives him a friendship gift that can increase his security. After that Eva attended the academy. He met Lilac and gave her a fire sword.
***
During my time at the academy, I didn't see Sayn. Her magic doll replaced her for school. Maybe he was busy on a new mission.
I didn't see Denis either. I heard that person was busy training so could not visit the academy. After all as a graduating student, he no longer needed to go to the academy because his study period was up.
While Reina, that girl kept avoiding me. Maybe ever since the incident at the Magic Games he's been wary of me. This is not the Reina I know. I guess he'll be looking for trouble with me as usual. She was no longer an innocent girl anymore as time went on.
And for Robert, he didn't really disappear. He was always in teaching hours. But he never visited me again. Usually that guy would sneak into my room or talk to my dad. I don't know what he's doing right now. I feel a little lonely.
Therefore, I spent my time in the academy very peacefully. Learn and play with Vivian and Lilac. Without feeling three months passed.
After months of calm, the storm finally began, the test of rising levels. The exam will be held next month.
Because of the exams, all the kids in this academy lock themselves in rooms, to practice, and reduce their play time. The level-up exam is a crucial time for a new kid in our academy.
The level-up exam at the academy is held once every year. New students will rise to level 2. Then the level 2 disciples would rise to level 3. While students level 3 will face the graduation exam.
Every level increase exam was held, then the ranking system also changed drastically. The ranking system in the royal academy was very unique.they only applied a general ranking of 1-100 for the entire 1.2 and 3rd grades. Therefore it was no wonder that there were tier 2 disciples who had a higher rank than tier 3 disciples.
But there are special rules for a level 1 child or a new student. They will compete between fellow students level 1 first until the best 10 are formed. These ten new disciples could challenge their seniors of rank 1-100. If they win, they will replace the senior position. If they lost, they would not go up the level and get a points deduction. This system is very risky but also profitable. That was why many new disciples were not arrogant to challenge seniors with 50s and above, because they knew they would lose and suffer losses.
I honestly don't remember this test at all in my previous life. As if the level-up exam was just a wind then, I had not thought of her at all. I also never took the exam, but still could pass. All because of my father's connection. This is what made my father's name worse and everyone turned against us.
But I am now very different. I was very curious about this level-up exam. Even a little enthusiastic about it.
"I have to pass" I can feel Vivian's spirit from this place.
"But I thought getting into the top ten would be difficult. Plus we also have disciples from other kingdoms" I said.
"I'm not after the top ten. I am also not interested in those 100 general rankings. I just want to graduate" Vivian's right. We can rise to level 2 without any ranking title. There are so many people like that in this place to survive.
"By the way, His Holiness Denis has always been ranked 1st general for three consecutive years. Isn't that great?" vivian said enthusiastically. "He was the only one who managed to defeat senior when he became a new disciple. And he carved out that miracle for the first time in this academy. I'm so jealous you're engaged to her"
"Oh" I responded consciously. Of course he can do it, he is one of the main characters. If only he had not passed first, he would most likely have been able to compete with Sayn. I really wonder if they fight, who will win. I mean Personal matches are not wars like in the past.
All the children prepare for the exam. I did too. I never laze around for practice.
A month passed and we finally had a test.
The first test is a written exam. Everyone should graduate at this stage. If they fail, they will not be able to continue in the next stage.
The second stage is the match. There are two categories of matches: fighting and defense. Points from both matches will be accumulated. The top ten best would get a special opportunity to challenge the 100 general rankings.
I'm not so confident I can get first place on the written exam. Even though I'm not so stupid. My understanding is a little strange. I can't memorize theories in every book. I always changed the theories of magic using my idea so that it didn't fit the book. Maybe my answer will not be perfect like the textbook on the exam this time. But I'm sure I can still graduate. But I'm very confident in the test of the game, I won't lose.
The written exam began. Honestly, the questions being asked are not difficult at all. But I was at a loss to think of an answer that would fit the real theory because I had already changed too many concepts.
I keep writing what I think. Although the concept is slightly different, the basics remain the same. So I guess I'll be fine.
"I'm going crazy! This is truly hell of a torture! Why should we learn boring theories when we are fighters. Those theories are completely useless!" Lilac let go of her frustration when the exam was over. After that he used his flying magic and shouted loudly in the air to release his madness.
Lilac is the type of person who prefers to use his muscles rather than his brain. That's why his father locked him up to copy some theory books for a month. It makes it very frustrating.
"Calm down, you must have passed~" I said casually. Although Lilac was a muscular brain type, she had never failed a written test at all.
Even the fool Eva (who used to be) never failed the written exam either. She only failed the match exam because not following her on the grounds could ruin her precious gown and jewelry.
"What about you Vivian?" i asked. Lately I've been hanging out with these two guys. And unconsciously the three of us became closer. Even Lilac was getting separated from her twin brother because the man was always tailing behind Reina.
"Um.it's hard. But I can work on it" Vivian replied confidently.
"We definitely graduated hahahaha. I'm sure"

The teachers had already finished correcting the exam results of the students. They were quite satisfied as all of the level 1 disciples managed to pass the written examination.
"Like him there are many superior seeds in the current generation" said a teacher while showing some test sheets belonging to students with high scores.
"You're right. There was a great distance between the previous generation and the generation of the crown prince. But now we get a lot of superior seeds. Even we get someone with a perfect score" said the other while showing the results of the Reina exam.
"He really got the perfect score. Is he a walking textbook?"
"really great. The boy was very famous among the new disciples for his light magic"
The teachers were busy gossiping about the students and praising them.
There was one teacher who did not join the group. He was Wilson's teacher. Currently he was sitting in his chair while staring at the answer sheet of one of the disciples in a state of silence.
"..."
Wilson chipped his chin with one of his hands.
"Eva Van Court's....An interesting human being" he said with a small smile.
Without Eva realizing it, she catches the attention of a mysterious fourth main character, a dark elf who is thousands of years old, with only a small streak. Even in the original novel, Reina could not conquer the man because he was the hidden main character.
