"This Academy loves chaos for sure."

I mumble as I looked at the crowd in front of me. I think everyone was present here. That's right, for the second time- every newb gathered in the same place again. Just left another premium letter at night,

"Results will be hanged on the Daniel great board."

I don't know why they even bother to send letters which, they could complete just by announcing after the exam. And most importantly, why do they need to publish everyone's results in the same place? So that noble kids can show off their ranks or drag out the hidden dragons that are hiding in snake holes?

Didn't know. But one thing I did know about myself is-

"I hate crowds and all the noises."

After pushing all the way through the crowd, I came close to the big boards. There were 14 of them. And every one of them had 100 names and ranks. I was confident about getting a good rank as the exam looked easy for me. But, I didn't have the gall to say that- I was the best. So, I was curious about the best.

I decided to watch the top 10's numbers and then, search for my name in the top 100. If not, then into other boards.

Just as I looked at the rank one, I was flabbergasted. I polished my eyelids with my hand, thinking that it was misguiding my lenses. But, it wasn't. The name was the most familiar name to me!

"Rank 1-Aryan Indra - Healer- S1: 100 S2: 100 S3:100"

"Rank2- Claudia Javender- Caster- S1: 95 S2- 97 S3- 88"

Rank3- ….

"Did the sun rise from the west? Or, I was always this sort of Genius?"

I questioned myself. The mere fact that I scored all 100 was disbelieving. I am quite sure others are too. But that wasn't my problem. I planned to search in other boards if I didn't find my name here!

"Hah…. Yep, that's my name. That's my result. Ms. Edna didn't reduce my marks out of hatred. Mr. Dickenson didn't mind my Buck's feet style handwriting and, whoever examined my runes was impressed by my elemental-attributed runes. If that's the case, who in the world can stop me from becoming first? Aryan, have some belief in yourself. Mom always said I was a genius."

I murmured to myself.

But, I saw Jacob also searching for his name, not too far from me. A bad omen crept out on me. If he were to see me, I was 100% sure he is gonna call me by my name loudly. Which is something I must avoid now.

So, not to be dragged into a mess- I stealthy left the crowd without reading the list any further.

But, in the upper classes of the academy, the results of Aryan's Human Anatomy and Elemental Biology didn't attract that much attention to the academy as some students scored full marks in their exams too. But, his Result of Runic art shook the entire academy. Even Professors were in disbelief.

It can't be helped. In the Runic Arts exam, with 60 marks on Rune Theories and successful drawing Runic symbols, and 40 Marks we're on creating a basic Rune that can gather elemental energy. . Any genius student who studied wholeheartedly for these 4 months can score 60 points on Runes.

But, the later test was a tricky one - Creating a complete basic-functional rune. Runes are made of various sequences of Runic symbols. These sequences are built based on the Origin energy flow the runemaster desired. Many find it hard to complete the whole sequence of various runes and guide the energy.

Not to mention, Runemasters have to communicate with the world to channel Origin energy on Runes. That is harder than people think. Even if someone memorizes all the Rune symbols and various rune sequences but fails in communication with the world, his runes will be just some cool symbolic drawing without origin energy.

That's why, Professor Catherine told her students to get close to nature. She didn't have sky-high expectations from her new students communicating with the world right off the bat. But, getting close to the nature would at least help these new students to understand the flow of natural origin energy and enable them to build a genuine sequence. And some students also lived up to her expectations.

For hundreds of years- no new student has succeeded in getting 100 points on this test, even from Rune Department. Academy also considered reducing the points for this part of the test. But stubborn Professor Catherine kept 40 points for Functional Runes to discover any rune geniuses. And as the head of the rune department, she had the right to.

And a guy named Richard Eno succeeded in reaching her expectation with 90 marks.

But even Professor Catherine didn't expect an exam report with full marks sitting on her desk. And a first-year student, who didn't even know runes 3 months ago- succeed in drawing a functional rune and combining it with attributes, making magnificent work for a novice. She took this report as a ridiculous joke or someone's prank at first. But, as she remembered there was not a single person who would dare to prank her, she immediately checked the report and the runes Aryan imbued.

After verifying everything, she was way more shocked than she was supposed to be. She hurriedly grabbed her ink pen and started scribbling on paper.

"Kalia!"

As she called out, a black owl immediately came in front of her from the shadows. As if, it was always here.

Catherine took out a lump of big juicy meat from her storage ring and threw it at the owl.

"Take this letter to the Inner layer Rune department. And be quick to deliver it. Hahahaa, Nick, I will be returning sooner than I thought."

The owl finished its meal in a minute and left with a letter swiftly.

The old lady watched the owl vanish with a wide smile on her face.

"Trying to hide yourself by breaking the rune sequence midway, you still have a long way to go, kid. Let's see how you can hide from me."
