Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Alright, Let’s start the class now,” Yu Ruyun looked around and said.
The lively atmosphere in the classroom instantly calmed down.
With this, she began today’s lecture.
Chen Nan sat in his seat and looked at the podium.
However, his mind was completely not on the content of the lecture. Instead, it was focused on the academy’s assessment.
This year’s grade and the academy ranking competition were extremely important.
Not only could one obtain the academy points as a reward, but the most important thing was that one could participate in the City Competition.
One could also obtain the opportunity to enter the Trading Center’s Holy Spirit Pool and allow one’s contracted beast to undergo a baptism!
With this in mind, a trace of seriousness appeared on Chen Nan’s face.
He secretly made up his mind. This time, he must obtain a good ranking in the ranking competition!
Unknowingly, the bell that indicated class ended rang.
‘The sounds of Yu Ruyun’s lecture stopped abruptly with the bell.
“You guys should go back and prepare well for the next few days. I hope all of you can shine in the ranking competition,” After leaving these words, she carried her book and left the classroom.
The minute Yu Ruyun left, the classroom was suddenly filled with noise.
‘The group of students took their textbooks and dispersed in a hubbub, in a hurry to complete their preparations for the upcoming ranking competition.
Before Chen Nan could stand up, Liang Feiguang came to his side and sat on the seat next to him.
“Chen Nan, how are your preparations going?” He had noticed that in the past few days, Chen Nan would leave the academy as soon as classes ended and would only return very late.
From the looks of it, Chen Nan must have gone on missions.
He must have obtained a lot of academy points and evolved his contracted beast.
Hearing this, Chen Nan glanced at him and said indifferently, “I haven’t prepared much.”
Indeed, he hadn’t prepared much. He had been doing missions for the past month and simply didn’t have the time to prepare for the ranking competition.
Hearing this, Liang Feiguang was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly recovered.
His gaze fell on Chen Nan, and he said firmly, “It’s okay. With your strength, I’m afraid it won’t even be a problem for you to get first place in the ranking competition.”
He was full of confidence in Chen Nan’s strength.
At the same time, Qing Yunshi overheard their conversation, and she glanced at Chen Nan then said, “That may not be true.”
Weren’t Liang Feiguang’s words too conceited?
“Even Ji Ren is no match for Chen Nan. Even if the other classes have talented Beastmasters, they may not be a match for Chen Nan,” Hearing her words, Liang Feiguang glanced at Qing Yunshi, then moved his gaze away.
He looked at Chen Nan with confidence. In his heart, he had already listed Chen Nan as the first place of the ranking competition.
There was no room for doubt about Chen Nan’s strength. Moreover, one month should’ve been enough for him to evolve his contracted beast.
“The strength of the Beastmasters in the other classes’ is not inferior to Ji Ren’s,” Qing Yun Shi’s gaze fell on Chen Nan, and her clear and cold voice spoke the truth.
It wasn’t that she looked down on Chen Nan, but it was indeed so that the strength of the students from the other classes wasn’t inferior.
It could even be said that they were terrifyingly strong.
They could make other’s contracted beasts tremble by just summoning their contracted beasts.
Let alone fighting, they could win with just a flick of their fingers!
With the strength of Class C, they were no match for them at all.
Hearing this, Chen Nan glanced at Qing Yun Shi, and his expression changed slightly.
‘When new students entered the academy, they would be assigned to different classes.
‘There were a total of four classes, $, A, B, and C, and each class corresponded to the strength of the students’ contracted beasts.
Chen Nan was currently in Class C, and the strength of the students was above average.
Those who were in Class B and Class A were all geniuses.
Especially the students of Class S. They were all students that had been specially recruited by the academy, and their strength was simply terrifying.
For the assessment this time, Class A would be in the first round, followed by Class B, and their class, Class C, would be in the third round.
‘The other classes were all stronger than Class C.
At the same time, Liang Feiguang also realized this, and his expression changed.
However, he firmly believed that Chen Nan could get first place in the ranking competition.
Even after hearing Qing Yunshi’s words, he still believed in Chen Nan.
He didn’t know why, but he had a feeling that Chen Nan could do it.
“Lbelieve that Chen Nan can do it,” Liang Feiguang looked at Qing Yunshi with a determined gaze.
“It’s up to you,” Seeing that he was still so stubborn, Qing Yunshi left the classroom after she said these words upon standing up.
He could think whatever he wanted. Whoever was stronger and whoever was weaker would be revealed tomorrow.
“Tsk. Chen Nan, don’t listen to her nonsense. In the official competition, prove her wrong real hard,” Liang Feiguang did not even look at her. His gaze fell on Chen Nan as he said confidently.
Hearing this, Chen Nan regained his calm expression and looked at the confident Liang Feiguang. A smile immediately appeared on his face.
Although they were all very strong, he was not bad either.
At this moment, he did not care about these things. The most important thing was for him to enter the top ten in the grade ranking competition.
Only by entering the top five in the academy would he have the chance to participate in the City Competition.
And only in this way would he have a chance to be baptized by the Holy Spirit Pool.
With this in mind, he stood up and left the classroom with Liang Feiguang.
Time flew by, and soon it was the second day.
At this moment, Chen Nan headed to the dormitory’s door, opened it, and walked out.
Today was the day that the ranking completion would officially begin.
Liang Feiguang had rushed to the training ground before him.
Chen Nan headed to the training ground unhurriedly. The first time he had gone to the training ground was when he sparred with Ji Ren back then.
But this time, he was heading there to participate in the ranking competition. The meaning of the two trips was completely different.
‘Without realizing it, he arrived at the square. There was a sea of people here, and it was noisy.
In addition to the first-grade students who were participating in this assessment, the audience seats were also filled with students.
There was no need to think too much about who these students were. They were all students from the previous batch, which made them their seniors.
It seemed that everyone was following the ranking competition with interest.
Chen Nan looked around at the entrance of the training ground and found Liang Feiguang among the many students.
He could only see a rough outline of where Liang Feiguang was. After all, it was some distance away from the training ground.
He lifted his feet and walked in Liang Feiguang’s direction.
At the same time, when Liang Feiguang saw Chen Nan, he picked up the things he had left on the seat beside him.
This was the seat that he had reserved for Chen Nan, and he had left some things on it to prevent anyone from sitting on it.
When Chen Nan arrived, he found that most people around him had unfamiliar faces.
However, he did not think too much about it. Instead, he looked at the center of the training ground.
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a big belly and sparse hair walked over.
‘They were all very familiar with him. This was the teaching director for the first graders, Bu Yuze.
At this moment, he was counting the number of first graders. After a round of counting, he realized that no one was missing.
With this, he immediately picked up the microphone and announced, “I announce that the ranking competition has officially begun!”
‘As soon as he finished saying this, the entire training ground erupted with thunderous applause.
Bu Yuze waved his hand, and the surroundings instantly returned to silence.
“Thope that all of you can display your full strength in this assessment and obtain a higher ranking!” He looked a little excited as he turned his gaze to the preparation area and encouraged.
