Chapter 42: Result
The free day everyone had kept going as everyone was using this time to train or to relax.
Some just slept throughout the entire resting period like logs.
Some slept because they didn’t want to be awake when the result commotion started, they even set up barriers in their room for noise cancellation, they only wanted to check when their hearts could handle it.
Some slept cause they were too lazy, while others slept cause they trained too much during the one month period in other to have a good result in the battle ranking.
Although some still trained or cultivated right now, they didn’t take it to the extreme as the they had a fight soon, so they were more like warming up
Students discussed as they passed by each other, all almost talking about the same thing.
“Arhhgg ... when is the result going to come out, I’m having constipation from the anxiety”
“Let the Academy keep it, I don’t want to see mine at all”
“Me personally, I want to see mine I might not have talent for battles or anything of the sort but I’m confident I can be one of the top 100 rankers when it comes to written exams”
“I hope you know there are many people with brains right, don’t get your hopes up”
“I wish the Academy would just burn down and the result won’t be out, then I can save some face”
“If my written results are as good as I expect, I can be a real ranker on the written list and I might have some chances with some girls”
“The result would say everything no need to talk too much about having opportunities with girls, that may just be delusion”
Everyone discussed as they walked, some about to die from the nervousness the Academy was creating by not releasing the results.
But for sure today, people would cry their self to sleep.
The rankings are divided into the written and the battle rankings in the Academy, except for the entrance written exam since that was way too easy, so they just added it to the Battle score since anyone no matter how dumb could score almost a perfect score.
Almost all of them during the written exams had a perfect score.
This was how easy it was to pass, if you didn’t pass, blame it on yourself because the Academy made the written entrance exam so easy because some people don’t have access to some books.
The written ranking is all about brain power, those who aren’t good at fighting always want to dominate this ranking, so that at least their names could be seen somewhere.
Although the world is all about who has the biggest fist, but sometimes brains out power muscles, and certainly the Academy didn’t come to raise an ‘All muscle and no brain’ type of students.
So this written ranking served as a reputation and pride to a lot of people, so people put in hours to get on this ranking.
As for the battle ranking, less was needed to be said about it.
It was all just simple, FIGHT.
Anyone who has the biggest fist is rank 1 on the list, nothing more, nothing less.
You think you are stronger than someone ranked higher than you?, fight them for it with something else on the line.
The S class is only for those who could get on the top 20 of battle ranking because at the end of the day. Brains play lower roles in a battle field than muscles.
Although some people complained about this, but they were in the minority, so people hardly noticed them as everyone knew how the world works.
But once anyone tops someone in the S class in the writing ranking, they are always filled with great pride as they feel they are smarter and more intelligent than that particular person in the S class.
Although they become filled with pride, they aren’t stupid to go and challenge a ranker.
They only have pride to top an S class student as even those in the top 20 still manage to squeeze their way into the top rank of the written exam.
They were hardly any ‘All brawls and no brains’ here, but that doesn’t mean they are smart, they just aren’t dumb.
Though the world works on strength, the importance of people with good brains can’t be ignored as they are much needed than people think.
Rune masters, Alchemist, archeologist, historical linguist who translate languages found in ancient ruins during excavations, battle commanders, experimentation on monsters, beast, Demons.
Their importance can’t be over emphasized, so they play more role than people believe.
