C128: First Test Results

All the students who were chatting in their seats kept their mouths shut.

When Rudger Chelici stood on the platform, everyone remained silent, which had long been an unwritten rule in Rudger’s classroom.

‘It’s still quiet today.’

On the other hand, Rudger felt slightly disappointed by the appearance of the students who kept their mouths shut whenever he entered the class. He felt even more so after he heard that other teachers were welcomed with a smile when they entered the classroom.

‘Did I do something to disappoint the students?’

No. I taught hard in class, and I made the questions by thinking as hard as I could when I was giving the test questions.

Didn’t he even say that he would teach the [Source Code] that has become his trademark to students at the top of the ranking? Even if he wasn’t a generous person, it was enough to be proud that he gave more benefits than the other teachers.

And yet this heavy response.

‘I didn’t know there would be such a reaction even when I told them about the test results.’

The first impression may have been the problem, too. At that time, it was a choice that I was forced to make because it was too sudden to prepare for employment.

‘I’m sad, but there’s nothing I can do.’

Still, since he intended to do his best in this role during his stay, Rudger decided to proceed with the class steadily as always.

“As I said before, I’ll let you know the results of the first test before we start today’s class.”

The results of their first test in Theon which would decide their position in the future were about to come out but there were no students who reacted rashly.

If they do something like that in Rudger’s class, his sharp eyes will be on them.

“The entire class results will be posted on the information board by Assistant Sedina after class but I’ll let you know what you’re curious about right now.”

At Rudger’s words, the students’ eyes lit up with expectation.

“I will announce the first to fifth place in the first test. And as I promised earlier, I’ll give the Source Code framework up to fifth place.”

The students stared at Rudger with their mouths shut.

If the silence was caused by tension and fear when he first entered the classroom, now they can’t even think of speaking because of their extreme concentration and anticipation.

“First of all, I will announce the first place. Everyone seems to have predicted who will take the first place in the rankings and they are probably right.”

Some of the students’ eyes were focused on one girl. No matter what anyone says, if it’s first place, it’ll be Flora Lumos, who has the title of genius.

“Hmph.”

Flora Lumos, the person who received the gaze, remained upright and relaxed as if it was nothing. She also did not doubt that she was first place.

“First place, Flora Lumos.”

And as everyone expected, Flora’s name came out.

The students responded as well, and Flora also raised her nose lightly. She suffered a lot lately but she used to be like this.

“And Julia Plumhart.”

“……!”

The students were shocked when another name came out and everyone’s eyes were on the white-haired girl sitting on one side of the classroom.

She still had a mysterious smile on her face.

“Both are tied for first place with a perfect score of 100 points.”

When the scores came out of Rudger’s mouth, the students had no choice but to accept it. If they both got perfect scores, which can be said to be the highest score, they could understand why they were tied for first place.

“Wow, she’s on par with Flora Lumos?”

“She came in first place when she entered the school. The tower also supports her, so that’s understandable.”

There was nothing strange about it. Julia Plumhart was the top freshman in the class. Still, they couldn’t believe she was on par with Flora Lumos. They thought that another genius might have appeared in Theon.

“Since there are two first-places, there is no second-place so I’ll announce third place right away.”

Rudger’s eyes were on one side of the classroom. Aidan, Tracy, and Leo, who received the gaze, swallowed without realizing it.

Why is the teacher looking this way? Did we do something wrong?

“Third place is Tracy Friad with a score of 98.7 out of 100.”

What? Aidan and Leo looked back at Tracy at the same time.

When her name came out, Tracy Friad was momentarily absent-minded and clenched her fist.

“Wow, Tracy. Congratulations! 3rd place is amazing, right?”

“It’s pretty good”

Aidan, who was sitting next to her and Leo, who was sitting in front of her, congratulated Tracy.

“Huh. Now you know? I’m always like this.”

Perhaps, as a fallen nobleman, people did not expect that she would take third place, and some nobles stared at Tracy with jealous eyes.

Normally, because of her fiery personality she would have reacted to this and tried to play her part, but she was generous because she was in third place.

“That’s great, Tracy. Your hard work paid off.”

“Hehe. Aidan, I can teach you how to study if you want. What do you think? Do you want to do it?”

Tracy blushed slightly and said to Aidan shyly.

At that, Aidan replied with a bright smile.

“No, it’s okay. I can’t just interrupt Tracy’s studies.”

“…….”

“Oh, oh! Tracy, Tracy. Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

“I don’t know, you idiot!”

Aidan was embarrassed to see Tracy suddenly punching him in the forearm. Did he make any mistakes? But as soon as he tried to say sorry, Rudger opened his mouth.

“Next is fourth place.”

The students held their breath. It’s okay up to third place. At least the names that came out now are people who have been famous for a long time.

Tracy also ranked second behind Julia in freshman admission so it was not surprising that she obtained a high grade.

But now that those three are gone, the classroom is filled with tension for the last two places since anyone could rank 4th or 5th.

‘Who will it be? Is it me? Or him? I can’t be as bad as him.’

The attention of students who all thought alike was focused on Rudger since they didn’t intend to miss the last two names.

Anyone could be nervous when they get this kind of excessive attention, but Rudger didn’t budge an eye. They’ve felt this for a long time, but he was a man of steel.

Rudger’s eyes turned to one side of the classroom. Erendir von Exilion. The Third Princess sat there.

The students thought to themselves.

‘The third princess is in fourth place.’

Of course, it was mostly freshman’s opinion, and some sophomores were quite embarrassed.

What? The third princess is 4th in rank?’

They knew she’s quite talented in magic, but isn’t that purely in practice? At least in their memory, Erendir didn’t even fit in the middle of the overall ranks in her freshman year.

“Rene is in fourth place with 98 points out of 100.”

“……What!”

“No way.”

And the name that came up was totally unexpected and Erendir’s startled glance was directed at Rene.

At least all of the first to third places in the rankings so far were aristocrats. Of course, Tracy is a fallen aristocrat, so she is different from ordinary aristocrats, but at least she made other students feel better about it. But isn’t Rene a commoner without a surname?

“Me, me?”

Rene, who was involved, seemed quite embarrassed, as if she didn’t know her name would come out. She didn’t study for a high ranking, but just did her best at that moment.

Rudger nodded silently. There was no way Rudger would lie, so it was clear that she was fourth in the rankings.

Rene felt like she was flying in the sky when she heard her test results.

“Rene…You’re amazing.”

“Oh, no. What?”

Erendir seemed quite embarrassed as she didn’t know that Rene would perform so well. At least as a senior, she wanted to show her a great performance, but she fell behind in the theoretical examination!

It was both pleasant and quite heartbreaking for her.

Other students’ reactions were also quite disturbing. This was especially true of aristocratic students and most of the glaring eyes at Rene were hostile.

It was hard to accept that they lost to a commoner. In addition, Rene is the one who caused a commotion by having a conflict with a noble student from the past.

At that time, there was nothing wrong with Rene, but the aristocratic students already recognized Rene as an arrogant commoner who dared to confront the aristocracy.

As a result, even though she got good grades, their opinion of them wasn’t good.

“Quiet.”

Rudger’s voice instantly captured the atmosphere of the classroom, which was about to become noisy.

“If you’re unhappy with your grades, tell me.”

None of the students objected to the remark. They couldn’t have said they weren’t satisfied with this result in front of Rudger’s face without going crazy.

In the end, the aristocratic students decided to let the commoners take fourth place.

Then at least in the 5th place, the name of the aristocrat must be included to fill this broken pride.

“I’ll announce the 5th place.”

The aristocratic students gulped down. Some even had a cold sweat in their clenched fists.

“No. 5 is Leo with a score of 94.3 out of 100.”

Contrary to that expectation, however, it was none other than the commoner Leo who came in fifth.

Aidan stared at Leo with wide eyes. This chic blue-haired boy still had a gloomy face, as if he wasn’t too impressed with the fifth place.

Tracy stammered as she didn’t know Leo would finish fifth.

“You, what are you? That was pretty good.”

“I did it moderately.”

“Well, I’m in third place anyway. You know? I’m different from the 5th place.”

“Who says what?”

The two of them quarreled as usual but the other students were not as comfortable as Tracy or Leo.

Two of the top five positions were held by commoners. In other words, it meant that the aristocratic students who did not make it into the top 5 were inferior to those two commoners.

Out of all five ranks, only three were nobles and one of them was the daughter of a fallen aristocratic family who is not even treated as a noble.

Being lower than the commoners is the most shameful thing for aristocrats.

‘You’re looking very blatantly.’

Leo felt the student’s gazes on him since they were all nobles filled with pride and it was like they were shouting ‘a mere commoner’.

They couldn’t make it to the top of the rankings because they couldn’t study, so why are they staring at him?

‘That’s why I don’t even want to talk to aristocrats.’

Leo was not the type to bow down just because his opponent was a nobleman. Therefore, Leo laughed at the students who stared at him as if they were going to kill him.

Some aristocrats tried to react in a fit of anger, but they realized they were still in Rudger Chelici’s class. That man, who didn’t even care if his opponent was a nobleman, was the object of fear for aristocratic students.

“After class, the five students called can come to my office to receive the framework. It doesn’t matter if you don’t come right away, but you have to get it at least before the second test.”

At the end of the sentence, Rudger gave a signal to his assistant Sedina, who stood still beside him. Sedina moved immediately and handed out the paper to the students. It was the class material for today.

“So, let’s start the class. What I will teach you today is a magic circle based on <Magic Release>.”

The magic circle is the most basic field for a wizard. Right now, they were using the technique of drawing a line connected with magic in a three-dimensional space, but they drew magic circles much earlier than that.

‘Magic circle?’

‘Today’s class is surprisingly normal.’

The magic circle is still useful since Talismans and Artifacts are made by engraving magic on objects.

Since three-dimensional magic is not suitable for engraving on objects or paper, magic circles were still in the spotlight. Above all, the magic circle lasts longer than the three-dimensional magic.

The magic engraved in the air is a one-time use magic, but as long as the magic circle is engraved, it will last for a long time until its traces disappear. For this reason, the magic circle was still regarded as a basic yet important study for wizards.

“Look.”

Rudger immediately drew a circle on the Magic Board. A circle, which can be said to be simply perfect, is drawn large at the center of the board.

“Most magic lines are drawn around a circle. It’s an old tradition, but it has its own meaning.”

The reason why the magic circle is drawn in a circle is that this figure means the world itself. In addition, the circle was also a figure containing the firm belief that it protects itself from external forces.

Therefore, the magic circle has always been developed by drawing a circle first, then adding a double circle or drawing various shapes inside it.

“But this is something that everyone knows. I don’t even want to teach such a banal thing.”

Rudger said so and erased the circle he had drawn and instead he drew another pattern on the magic board.

“This is the magic circle I will teach you.”

The students that looked at the magic board were perplexed.

It was understandable because the pattern that Rudger created was not a circle that could be called the basis of the magic.

“What’s that?”

“Is that a magic circle?”

It was a figure that cannot be understood with conventional common sense, since it was a square.
