“The first human in history to have I really wish he wasn’t playing this up so much, but I understand that he just wants to show me off to the school. Then the vice-headmaster does something surprising. He walks up to me, grabs my forearm, which makes me feel uncomfortable, then raises it into the air and says, “And the Knight, our headmaster, and the most renowned alumni to ever graduate from this university, White, has chosen her to participate in the Class I Primary Solo Competition for this…-

“Now then,” the vice-headmaster says before tapping his cane that magically appears in his hand on the ground and making a wave of mist blast out from him. And the moment it reaches me, I find myself moving places, somehow magically standing up on stage with the mist vanishing an instant later. But it’s not just me, as what must be a hundred people are here alongside me. “Time to introduce you all to the top one hundred ranks amongst you.” I look around, a startled expression on my face that…

Almost immediately, the room is filled with noise from the many students talking about the tournament. But when I look up at the screen, I don’t find the tournament rankings currently there. In fact, I don’t find anyone on the stage at all. Then the vice-headmaster suddenly appears on the stage in a puff of mist, making almost everyone go silent in an instant. And as soon as he does, he slowly begins clapping, which spreads to all of the professors who also appear in every corner of the room except…

I ignore the tanuki. This plan is great, and you know it. Because unless I attack them, they’ll get a penalty for attacking me, and I’ll be awarded free points. And if I do attack them, it’ll be when I have a chance to kill stea- I mean, defeat one of them fairly in battle. Tar just sighs and doesn’t say anything else, not even commenting on my minor slipup. I continue crawling my way through the tunnel until I finally find a sudden bend in it that goes upwards, leading to the surface where I…

All of the professors stay silent as they watch the group of four Class III graduate students fight it out at the center of the forest, the leader of the demons infesting the forest having already long since been killed, along with the majority of the demons in the forest overall. Even with the demons periodically respawning throughout the round. But Cipher just ignores them for the moment as he, along with some other first year professors, focus their sole attention on the current rankings for the…

“So have you had any luck yet?” Belle asks for the third time as Michael stands there with his eyes glowing green, simply looking through the eyes of his hawk as it flies above the outer ring of the forest searching for Scarlet. And this time – unlike the last two times he answered politely – he grumbles, “Could you stop asking please? The answer hasn’t changed.” Belle lets out a groan before walking up to a random tree and punching it. Then immediately regretting it as she holds her fist to…

I alternate my gaze between the student and his needles for several seconds before opening my status in the corner of my vision and checking out my mana. Below half capacity… that’s not good. Although it’s better than I expected, so I guess blood regeneration really is speeding up my mana regeneration. I burn both my blood and the blood in my blood bank at a rapid pace in order to rush up closer to the student, only to barely avoid the needles that end up flying straight past my head. And a cold…

Okay. That was a pretty good number of points. Looks like he gave me 64 points total. The last one gave almost a hundred points. I continue running through the forest until I get closer to my next target, which, judging by the way they’re talking to themselves, is very clearly a student. And after getting close enough to see them, confirming that, I find it to be a girl about my age wearing some sort of magi-tech armor in the form of a dress ending in a skirt at about mid thighs. Which has me frowning,…

Cipher can’t help but think this as he, along with a dozen or so other professors in the room – the professors teaching primarily first year courses – watch Scarlet simply rush through the forest slaughtering the low level demons with ease, noticeably growing stronger with each kill. Likely due to some sort of skill she gained at some point from her reckless actions. “What type of skill do you think that is?” “Maybe a stacking skill? One that grows with every kill?” “But aren’t those…

As it turns out, Michael’s duels weren’t all battle. They were put into a magical reality where they had to deal with different situations such as being shown and told to heal a certain number of people while still being aware that the other student could attack at any time. And if their patient or a certain number of patients died? They would lose. Meanwhile Emily’s duels were more varied as both of the fighters in a duel were placed in a place filled with obstacles and terrain, and the fighters…
