Chapter 115: Finally free.
[I knew she had ulterior motives from the time she stopped hanging out with you.] The system said.
\'Well I don\'t see it like that, yes she might be scheming but don\'t forget she was hanging out with me even when I was nothing special.
To me, she is just like a high school bad girl who is jealous that her boyfriend is being snatched away from her by another girl and since she has more power she makes the other girl pay.\' Blake shared his thoughts.
[What side are you on? Team Camilla or Team Tessie?] The system had to ask because from Blake\'s tone it seemed like he was supporting Camilla.
\'I am not taking any side…\' Blake felt like smacking his forehead, but he held back himself he didn\'t want to make the atmosphere more awkward.
\'The funny thing is that I have always wanted a girlfriend back on Earth, but over here Nah. I don\'t have time for relationships especially when I don\'t belong here and when I have my mom waiting for me.\' Blake thought with a sigh.
"All first-year students report to the hall for the final meeting of the first part of the trimester." The voice of principal Lovren echoed through their badges.
"Finally!" Blake immediately sprung up from his seat.
The rest thought that he was excited that they would soon be free, but they had no idea that he had been praying for something to happen in other to get out of this awkward situation.
When all members of the first year were all seated, and professor Gibson stepped out of a warp gate.
"It is the school\'s tradition to reward excellence. That is why we will call out the top 3 of the first trimester and reward them for the effort they had put."
The professor\'s words made all the top students tensed. They already knew that the 1st and 2nd position was between Blake and Luciano, but the 3rd position was still untaken.
The position was still open for the top students and since one\'s rank didn\'t determine their points, the 3rd position could go to anyone.
"In 3rd position…" As the name was about to be announced, the entire hall fell silent as the most \'important\' moment of the announcement had arrived.
"Camilla Karius, with 86 700 points…"
Camilla\'s supporters which comprised of her male admirers and her female supporters immediately let out a loud cheer when her name was called out.
Blake and non-Camilla supporters were surprised by the number of supporters one person had. \'Perks of being beautiful, you have a lot of fans. The good thing is that it doesn\'t determine one\'s strength, if not I will be fucked.\' Blake sighed as he clapped.
"In second position Luciano Synder, with 109000 points."
"So much gap!"
"A difference of more than 20 thousand points, that\'s insane!"
Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!
Both commoners and nobles from various households including Camilla and her supporters applauded Luciano for his insane score.
\'Now that\'s power with a blend of royalty.\' Blake thought with a smirk on his face when he saw the amount of respect Luciano commanded.
"In first position, Blake Wilson with 123000 points." Professor Gibson announced with a proud smile on his face as he looked at Blake.
"…"
Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!
The students were stunned for a moment before they began clapping. They had thought Blake\'s points wouldn\'t be far from that of Luciano, but a 10000 points difference was monstrous!
\'Pheew… I nearly thought that no one will clap for me.\' Blake let out a sigh of relief when what he had thought would have been the most awkward moment of his life was changed to a round of applauds.
[In the face of absolute power, people, wealth, everything bows.] Blake nodded in agreement.
"Congratulations to you three for your excellent performance, now for the rewards.
The first position gets 70 beast cores.
Second position 50 beast cores.
Third position gets 40 beast cores." Professor Gibson announced.
"70!"
"What?!"
The entire hall was shocked by the announcement, especially those from the normal class who hadn\'t heard talk more of seeing that amount of beast cores.
Unlike those in the elite class that were very confident in their skills that they could hunt in the Mina forest, those in the normal class weren\'t that confident and that was why they went in groups, but that meant their gains would drastically reduce when shared amongst themselves.
Knowing that he would get a very long rest as long as he made it through the day, Professor Gibson didn\'t give them any chance as he quickly handed over to Principal Lovren.
"You all have trained and accomplished a lot during this first trimester and I advise that it doesn\'t stop. When you are about to slack remember that there is someone out there training and if you ever meet each other he would surely win.
As you go on a 3 weeks break, remember that your safety is the top priority, and remember to raise the school\'s prestige with your actions. Dismissed." After his speech, Principal Lovren left to meet the second year.
"Finally guys, we are free..." Brian said with an energetic tone.
"So, when are we leaving?" Brian turned to Blake and asked.
"Well, I have to make preparations for our journey and this might take some time. So in 2 days, I should be ready." Blake answered after making some calculations.
"2 days? That\'s shorter than I expected. I will be ready by then." Brian replied and after making sure that Castiel was okay with the plan they headed for the canteen.
