Chapter 239: End of the first test
Their initial surprise hasn't died before another name appeared on top of the examination result list.
"Another dark horse! This student called Yato has 991 units of mana in his mana pool." Another teacher said, "He is also considered to be at the peak of F-rank!"
After the roundup, the students with more than 900 units of mana were considered to be at the peak of the F-rank and were rewarded with an S+ grade.
"This year is surely interesting!" Old Miller said, "Old friend Yeon, who do you think will top the exam this year?"
Old Miller's appearance has certainly surprised all the teachers sitting in this spectator's room, as he has never attended the yearly assessment examination before. They all wondered what has attracted the attraction of this senior person.
Headmaster Yeon didn't immediately answer. He calmly turned to stare at Dead Frankenstein, and said, "What do you think? Do you have anyone on your mind?"
Dean Frankenstein sneakily smiled. "I surely do but it won't be fun without bets. Let's bet on who will ace the exams among the new students."
Dean Frankenstein has been facing a shortage of money and this was the best time to fool Headmaster Yeon and Old Miller from their money. Undoubtedly, he has been overseeing Shadow's training and knew that the little lass has reached the peak of E-rank battle master. She had the highest chance to ace this examination.
"Sure, let's make a bet!"
"We will also join in!"
Headmaster Yeon and Old Miller nodded. In the spectators' room, the teachers there started to gamble with each other.
Dean Frankenstein: "I bet 100 thousand platinum bar and a B-rank beast weapon on Shadow!"
Wtf!
How can he be so rich???
Hearing his words, the teachers sitting at the round table were surprised.
It seemed like this guy is really the bastard child of Headmaster Yeon!
"I am betting 10000 royal credits on Shadow!"
"I will join since even you joined. I bet 5000 royal credits on that kid called Ruth! He will enter the top three!"
The teachers started to place their bets on the students of their choices.
Headmaster Yeon: "Well, I think I will bet the same amount on the second dark horse. From the looks of it, he seems determined to ace the examination."
Now only Old Miller was left.
"I won't be stingy like you both. I bet double the amount on that snowy-haired boy." Old Miller said while pointing his forefinger at Whittaker who stood before the assessment stone tablet through the holographic screen.
Dean Frankenstein, Headmaster Yeon, and the rest of the eleven teachers turned to stare at the direction Old Miller pointed.
What!!!!!!
Then, all of the sudden, their mouth gaped and their eyes opened so wide that their eyeballs threatened to pop out of their sockets.
They couldn't believe what they were seeing.
The number 5001 burned gloriously at the center of the stone tablet.
Whittaker had freaking reached D-rank!
"How could it be?" A teacher said, "He is among the list of the newly awakened students, and is also extremely young. How can he be a D-rank mage at such a young age!"
"I refuse to believe it! He is just a commoner without any backing. There's no way he could earn the resources to reach D-rank mage in merely four months. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing happening before? I REFUSE to believe it!!" One among the eleven teachers voiced his disagreement. Because Lyons hated commoners and according to the information, Whittaker was a freaking commoner!
"Yeah, I think there's something wrong with the stone tablet. How about... how about we let the examiners inspect it to make sure?" Lyons supporter said.
Old Miller scoffed. "Do what you like. It won't change the results." He said in a tone tinged with disdain.
"Alright, let the examiners over there inspect the stone tablet. If there's a problem then order them to immediately fix it." Headmaster Yeon said. "However, if there is no problem, award him SSS grade!"
"As you say,"

Whittaker was actually extremely satisfied with this grade. However, he didn't get to smile as the examiners announced that the Assessment Stone Tablet to be malfunctioning.
They weren't in the wrong. Because Whittaker's improvement was just too impressive, and it was impossible for them to believe that he had reached D-rank in merely four months.
"Sorry, students, we need to examine the testing equipment to ensure that the results are accurate," One of the examiners said before the examiners immediately went over to inspect.
Whittaker looked at these people in incredulity. Then he sighed.
Why am I so talented?
He knew that his improvement will shock the wits out of everyone. However, he had no choice!
If he wanted to move up in the world, then he needed to ace the yearly assessment test!
"There's no problem with the stone tablet!"
The examiners shortly discovered that there was no problem with the stone tablet.
"Your grade is SSS!"
The examiner announced.
Shocking
Unbelievable!
The students and teachers didn't know what to say. They have never seen a person reaching D-rank mage in merely four months.
Meanwhile, Whittaker moved on to the next examination zone.
"Hahahahaha!" Old Miller laughed like a maniac.
He has hit the jackpot!
He was sure to win the bet. Moreover, he was the only one who bet on Whittaker. Thus, he was going to make it big!
"How about you all start handing over what's mine!"
"Not too fast." Dean Frankenstein said, "This year, there is not only one black dragon in the newly awakened students! Look at that boy over there, he is going to amaze you all!"
Black Dragon! Yes, that was the only word to define Whittaker.
However, the teachers were shocked to hear that there was another such monster among the groups of students.
Is he joking?
Old Miller, Yeon, and the eleven teachers stared at Shadow location.
Bang!
"This is bad for m heart!" Yeon internally thought.
He was an old man. But it looks like the world was intent on shattering his views and give him a heart attack!
"Student Shadow, 92 Battle energy! The peak of D-rank battle master!"
Unbelieve!!!
In the entire school, it was only Whittaker and Shadow who had achieved an overflowing result for the first examination.
"Hmm, he is the son of Duke Williams." Lyon said, "Duke must be really happy to have such a talented son!"
At first, he was displeased to see that a commoner has topped the charts of the first. Currently, he was really happy to see a noble more talented than Whittaker.
Shadow was at the peak of D-rank battle master. Whereas Whittaker wasn't at the peak of D-rank mage.
Thus, the young black-haired boy was awarded an SSS+ grade!
Right after, the second examination began!
