Chapter 166 Result I
Two days later,
The student hall was filled to the brim as almost every student of the Royal Academy was present here today.
The hall was devoid of any furniture but three big boards were placed in different corners inside the hall. So the students of each year could see their results.
All three boards only had three white sheets stuck on them, each sheet showed a separate result.
1. The theoretical exam result.
2. The practical exam result.
3. The final result.
Two old Professors wearing blue robes were sitting in the middle of the hall to answer the students who had problems with their results. The Professors wore serious expressions as they talked to the students who were causing unnecessary trouble.
Meanwhile, a few meters away from the student hall. Alec, Carcel, Lara, and Mia were walking together. They chatted and made their way toward the hall to see their results.
The atmosphere was harmonious. For the past two days, their schedule was packed with classes and training.
Alec rubbed his hands together with anticipation as he saw the familiar hall in the distance.
"I know about my practical exam result but I am not sure about the theory exam. I just hope we all get good marks because Professor Aliza was quite angry due to some students."
Carcel looked at Alec. After spending so much time with the latter he was very comfortable around him now.
"I did good so I am not worried about myself but you...."
His sentence was cut short because Alec glared at him.
"We will see in a while who did better!"
Lara and Mia both looked at the duo and shook their heads.
Suddenly Carcel remembered something and a smirk appeared on his face.
"What about Kyle and Nine bet? Who do you think will win?"
Mia raised her brow.
"What bet?"
Alec looked at her with a mysterious smile.
"It's a very tragic bet that Nine lost even before he made it."
"What?"
Alec laughed and explained about the bet to Lara and Mia. The girls wore an amused expression when they listened to the details.
"Giving 50,000 mana stones to someone else isn't something small. Even I don't have that many mana stones!"
Lara exclaimed with a serious expression. She thought about Kyle and sighed. She was still uncomfortable around others and didn't know how to start a conversation but now she was willing to talk to her classmates.
Recently she even tried to talk to Kyle but because she felt too ackward and embarrassed she wasn't able to say much.
'No one is a bad person. They won't harm me without any reason. It's just my mind who perceives them bad and beneath me.'
'I need to change my mindset.'
Her thoughts were complicated. She knew her personality wasn't good but now she was trying her best to change a little.
After getting help from Hanson and Kelvin in the Tower she realized how wrong she was. Not everyone was bad.
She felt a little guilty for all those people she looked down at. In the end, it was all because she wasn't able to make genuine friends after the incident that happened in her childhood. That's why her personality naturally becomes cold and arrogant.
Alec looked at Lara and tilted his head.
"Hey, relax your brows. Why are you frowning so much because of Nine and Kyle's bet."
"Nine won't ask you for mana stones!"
He chuckled and looked ahead.
Lara blinked her eyes when she saw Alec's face and nodded before her expression finally relaxed.
She stepped back a little because Alec was too close.
After a while, they stepped inside the hall. Many students were entering and leaving the hall. They looked at the three boards and after asking a nearby student they went toward the first-year result board.
Alec frowned when he saw so many students standing in front of the board.
"Excuse me. Please give me a small way. I want to see my result as well"
He said and some of the students looked back with annoyance but when they saw Alec's face they instantly made a small gap between the crowd.
Some of the students even snickered and whispered among themselves looking at Alec and the others.
Carcel and Alec stepped issues the crowd while Lara and Mia followed behind both of them.
They soon saw the board but Alec rubbed his eyes with shock.
"Am I hallucinating?"
Carcel's eyes also widened slightly. He patted Alec's shoulder.
"Does that mean I am hallucinating as well?"
Lara and Mia were also shocked but unlike the duo, they didn't show it on their faces.
Mia looked at Carcel.
"I believe it's not a hallucination if we all are seeing the same thing."
Lara shook her head. A rare smile appeared on her face. The students who saw her smile squeaked with shock.
"It's seemed Nine didn't just lose the bet. He lost very terribly."
Alec was too shocked to even hear Lara's words. He pinched Carcel's arm to confirm if he was seeing things.
Carcel rolled his eyes and smacked his hand away.
"Why the hell are you pinching my arm?"
Alec took a deep breath and looked at him.
"It's because it's painful if I pinch myself."
He chuckled and pointed at the result.
"It's a little sour to see this result."
Carcel massaged his temples.
"I am feeling sour as well. My rank dropped."
Alec glared at him.
"Hey, I lost my rank as well!"
Lara chimed in as well.
"I thought my rank would increase but it's the same as before."
Mia sighed at her friend's childish behavior but she noticed something that made her laugh. Her slender finger pointed at the theoretical exam result.
"Look who is last!"
Alec and the other two followed her finger and after seeing the name they burst into laughter. Even Lara started laughing.
The students around them looked at them with confused expressions. Didn't the four of them lose their ranks? Why are they laughing?
