Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Breakthrough

“Well seems like it’s over”

A blue light flashed over their bodies as they were teleported away from the exam site

( Silford Academy )

Multiple people were now at the academy once again after the mock exam ended

Some people have disappointed expressions on their faces, it seems like they didn’t make the cut

“Duke are you doing alright”

“Yeah… I’ll manage. Heard the last exam will proceed tomorrow so I’ll have time to rest and heal”

“That’s good, and Selena you’ve grown to become the stunning woman”

“R-really? You think so?” A blush formed on her face

“Yeah I d-”

Suddenly a certain pressure affected the whole area, the headmaster Dave Vorn was seen descending towards the podium

“Congratulations some of you have passed the exam and the lot of you didn’t make the cut and you’ll now be teleported away from the academy”

With a wave of his hand all the failing participants were teleported away from the academy and the automatically sent towards the entrance of the academy

Out if 2’000 applicants only around 700 have managed to pass the exam, the academy’s entrance criteria gets harder each year

“Now that they’re gone we can proceed”

“The final exam will take place tomorrow 10am at the earliest, it will be a 1 on 1 duel.”

“We’re aiming to cut about a lot of you from the exam, only 200 applicants will be admitted to the academy this year”

People exclaimed, gasps and murmurs echoed through the crowd they couldn’t believe how hard the criteria of the academy is

“Now that this is over its time to show you guys the top 10 people who have made their mark at this exam”

As he said so a holographic screen materialized mid air showing the names of the top 10 students

————————————————-

1st: Adam 10’000 points

2nd: Grace Amberfrost 8’000 points

3rd: Eve von Silverwing 7’500 points

4th: Jake von Bazel 7’300 points

8th: Drake von Arkins 6’400 points

9th: Ivy 6’200 points

10th: Amy Wilson 6’000 points

————————————————-

People were shocked and surprised at what they saw and the name of the 1st place holder was in their minds

“10’000 points!?”

“That’s a staggering amount!”

“He must’ve killed a lot of monsters and eliminated a huge number of applicants”

Duke and Selena who were next to him couldn’t help but stand there frozen in disbelief that amount of points was astonishing

“You really made you statement”

Adam couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly when hearing what duke said, that’s when everyone turned their attention to the headmaster again

“Now that the mock exam has concluded it’s time for you to rest”

“And be prepared for the duel tomorrow you’ll need it”

With that Dave began to leave but he passed a knowing glance towards Adam for a bit before leaving the scene

“Well I guess I’ll see you guys tomorrow, I need to prepare for tomorrow’s duels”

“Yeah I also need to get purged of this poison haha”

“See you tomorrow adam~”

Adam waved them off before leaving the area and was going towards his hotel until he saw someone blocking his path

It was Jake Von Bazel the only heir for Duke Bazel, an SS rank awakener. Jake was everything a noble aspired to be strong, prideful am but mostly arrogant

When Jake saw Adam he glared at him, as Adam passed Jake said something under his breath but Adam could hear it clearly

“Tomorrow I’ll bury you”

Adam couldn’t help but chuckle and just left the area without even bothering to respond

“Tomorrow is gonna be interesting” he thought to himself

Adam hailed a taxi that took him back to the hotel, that’s when he took a long bath to ease his muscles and relax

While inside the bathtub he decided to check the rewards he received after completing the missions

“Perfect now it’s time for me to breakthrough”

Adam take went out the bathtub and went towards the living room and sat cross legged on the ground as he used his new cultivation technique

He gathered mana directly towards his core, the mana was pure and it flowed easily without much issue

It was so effective that hours passed while he was cultivating that he didn’t realize that it was already so late

His mana surged as he directly breakingthrough to D rank, he clenched his fists as mana swirled around it and a wicked grin was seen on his face

“Great I should solidify my rank and cultivate some more, I’m pretty sure others will be doing the same I shouldn’t slack around just because my physical stats are that of a low C rank”

Adam renewed his determination and cultivated throughout the night and just like that it was now the next day
