"Do you know her?" asked Hayato.

"Yes. She's the angry girl who once hit me with a broom," Raff replied irritably.

"Hahaha... Looks interesting, why did she beat you up?" asked Hayato with a laugh.

"I was mistaken for looking at her grandmother who was changing. Even though I was just looking in the window of her house," Raff replied, explaining the whole incident to Hayato.

"Hahaha ... you're an unlucky NPC as it turns out," Hayato mocked with a satisfied laugh, the other participants who were near them even glanced at him because they heard Hayato's laughter.

"While the main character in the story usually accidentally looks at a beautiful girl, the girl will later become his wife in the future. Or he accidentally picks up her underwear that was blown away by the wind. Or at least you are mistaken for looking when the skirt the beautiful girl is wearing is blown away by the wind," Hayato said while holding his stomach from laughing.

"Hehehe... You're also unlucky to be fooled by a merchant," Raff scoffed.

"That's something else, I'm definitely lucky when it comes to women. It's just that it seems my event to find my future wife hasn't started yet, when the event starts, all the beautiful women in this world will become my harem!" Hayato said confidently.

"What a freak," Raff grumbled.

"Unbelievable," everyone was suddenly surprised as a bright light shone from the crystal ball in which No. 004 was performing the test. Raff and Hayato also turned their eyes back to the five participants taking the test.

"The mana in her body is huge," several participants praised.

"Another interesting NPC appears. Looks like she'll be one of my harem later," Hayato said with a smile.

"How ironic," Hayato thought when he saw that only Elena's crystal ball was glowing small. The other three crystal balls shone quite brightly.

"Rose Ziccs. You will enter the A-rank class!" Bara said while taking notes.

"Yes!" the 004 participants shouted happily.

The Academy students sitting behind the teachers also clapped. Bara also announced that the other three participants had entered the B-rank class. Bara then invited the four of them to go to their respective classrooms.

Bara looked at the remaining contestants in front of the crystal ball, "Is that all you can do?"

But Elena did not answer and continued to use her energy to release the mana in her body. However, the crystal ball continued to glow a little.

"Number 005, enter class F-rank," Bara said as he signaled Elena to stop and leave the hall.

Elena seemed to come out of the hall with her head down, disappointment and sadness written all over her face. The other attendees who were still sitting began to whisper that Elena was low on mana. Bara even signaled for them to calm down.

"In every story, there is always an NPC who is hurt. It's an important thing to make a protagonist like me shine," Hayato said as he posed again, rubbing his fringe upwards.

"You can stop that pose. I'm being embarrassed by the others," Raff grumbled.

"I should be the one who's embarrassed because I'm sitting next to a freak who wants to hug the princess," Hayato said back to Raff.

One by one, the participants were called. There were those who had entered the B, C, D, E and F classes, but there were also those who had not been accepted because their manas was much lower than that of a F-rank adventurer. Meanwhile, only two people had entered the A-rank class so far.

"It's our turn, Raff, don't you want to warm up by focusing your mana into your hand?" asked Hayato after Bara called out number 025.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

"No need, I can already guess which class I will be in," Raff replied casually. "With my current mana, I will be in the lowest class, really strange. Why do they prioritize mana in the body so much?" Raff muttered quietly, "If Lou Xi is here, then this academy will be destroyed by just one ordinary punch."

"Next. Numbers 026, 027, 028, 029, and 030. Come quickly!" called Bara.

"Alright. Next it's my turn, the main character, to shine brightly," said Hayato as he stood up with Raff.

Raff and Hayato began to take their steps as three other teenage boys stood up. Bara didn't recognize Raff at all. But Lola, who was sitting in a chair with the other teachers, looked surprised when she realized where Raff came from.

Raff himself didn't really care about Bara and Lola, because he had forgotten about the incident at the market after he had received money from Lola.

"So he wants to be a student here too?" muttered Lola.

"Who are you talking about, Lola?" asked Nia, who was sitting next to Lola.

"Nothing," Lola replied as she turned her attention elsewhere.

"Eh. Don't tell me you already have a boyfriend in mind for a future student here," Nia teased.

"Don't say anything strange, Professor Nia. As teachers, we are forbidden to have special relationships with our students," Lola argued.

Everyone in the room was instantly shocked to see that three other teenage boys had managed to make their crystal balls shine brightly. Almost as bright as Rose's before, Bara immediately announced the three of them as A-rank class. Raff himself immediately placed one hand on the crystal ball while mobilizing the mana in his body.

"Hahaha... He really is an unlucky NPC," Hayato muttered with a laugh as he saw Raff's crystal ball glowing a little.

"Only so far," Raff said, realizing that it was the limit of the mana in his body at the moment.

"Hey you, hurry up and do your test!" Bara ordered when he saw Hayato laughing at Raff's test results.

"Of course," Hayato replied while putting his right hand on the crystal ball and his left hand in his shirt pocket. "Huh?" muttered Hayato when he saw that his crystal ball also glowed only slightly the same as Raff's.

"Isn't this the situation where the main character's power awakening event is supposed to happen?" Hayato thought.

"Number 027 and 028 are in the F-rank class," Bara said. The other participants whispered again, thinking that Raff and Hayato were very weak.

"He doesn't know himself, he's so weak, but he wants to get close to Princess Mia," some participants grumbled.

"Please go to the designated room. Outside the hall, there will be Academy students who will show you to the room," Bara said, pointing to the exit.

Raff immediately left the test room while Hayato was still desperately trying to channel the mana in his body into the crystal ball. This time, he even used both hands at the same time with a serious face.

"Come on Hayato! You are the main character in this world, remember all your pain in the real world, remember the suffering you felt, remember your dream, even if you don't get an S-rank, then at least get an A-rank," Hayato muttered.

"He still seems to be trying," Raff said after leaving the room. He noticed that Hayato had not left the hall yet.

The atmosphere in the room was also suddenly quiet, as everyone's attention was focused on Hayato, who was using all his strength.

"Rise up, my hidden power! Haaa..." Hayato shouted while using all of his strength. His scream made the situation even more silent and everyone's attention was focused on him.

Suddenly Hayato farted, the sound was clearly heard because of the silence, all the teenagers who were still in the room even laughed at the same time. Nia had to cover her face because she was embarrassed, Hayato's face started to turn red from holding back the embarrassment.

"Hahaha...if you want to poop, you should go to the bathroom, not here!" scoffed a teenager in the front row.

"You really bring out the hidden power of your ass," another teenager chimed in with a satisfied laugh.

"No wonder you talk so much, it's all farts," shouted another test taker.

"Even though they don't know he's my student, I'm still embarrassed," Nia thought as she covered her face.

"What kind of situation is this? Why does a main character like me have to bear the embarrassment?" thought Hayato as he looked down.

"Hahaha... You're really embarrassing, go out and fart as much as you want in class F-rank!" Bara taunted with a big laugh.

"Please give me another chance!" Hayato shouted again while looking at Bara.

"Hahaha..." suddenly, all the teenagers laughed again when they heard Hayato asking for another chance.

"He still wants another chance to fart," another participant mocked while laughing.

"Hahaha..." suddenly the other participants laughed again when they heard the mockery of Hayato.

"Get out! You're in class F!" Bara snapped loudly so that he could be heard outside the hall.

Hayato kicked his feet while bowing in shame and slowly left the exam hall, accompanied by the mockery and laughter of the other participants. Hayato raised his head only after he was outside the room, he could see Raff standing there holding his stomach, his cheeks looking deflated from holding back his laughter.

"Hahaha... fuck you! You laughed at me!" sneered Raff as he laughed out loud. "I think your strange talk shows your great strength," Raff continued, pointing at Hayato.

"Damn you! You've been waiting for me to humiliate me on purpose, haven't you?" grumbled Hayato as he swung his fist to hit Raff's face, but Raff easily dodged. "You! Ah, now I know. It's because of your bad luck that it rubbed off on me! It must be because of you that I lost my overpower!" grumbled Hayato as he glared at Raff.

"Fart overpower!" mocked Raff, laughing again.

"You ancient bastards!" snapped Hayato with an annoyed look on his face.

"Hey you guys! Don't waste time," shouted the academy student in charge of giving further instructions to the participants.
