After Leon and his roommate Liam arrived at the auditorium and settled down. They stopped under a shading of the auditorium while the other students stared at them.

The main reason why was the fact that Leon had dyed his hair, and mainly because he'd defeated the number one best student, Karl Stuart...... He was everyone's favorite in the duels.

"But still, I can't even imagine that Karl Stuart was defeated by a nobody."

"....yeah."

The other students were talking about the duel, and was shocked by Leon's sword skills.

At that moment, an uncomfortable feeling came over Leon and he looked down in embarrassment.

(Leon Sighs)

'I feel super uncomfortable! I can't remember the last time I was popular...' (Leon)

Leon was confused about the sudden attention being placed on him, at that time, he was thinking about the consequences of defeating someone elite son.

Although he himself is also a noble....

'Uhh... What if Karl Stuart decided to come back at me? No one can save me, I'm doomed!' (Leon)

Leon's mind was racing, and he was thinking about how to get out of the situation he'd found himself in.

"Huh? Leon, are you feeling alright? You look way too pale." Liam, seeing that Leon was in a bad mood he asked.

Leon raised his head and looked at his roommate Liam with a worried expression on his face.

"Sorry... I was just deep in thoughts. Don't worry about me!". Leon replied to Liam's question and gave him a thumbs up.

"Alright, if you say so, dude."

Liam said to his roommate Leon, clearly knowing that he was lying to him about something. For now, everything was going fine. It was around school hours and all the upperclassmen were heading to their classes, while talking about the first years.

"What's going on over there? Those freshmen are super noisy.... To be honest, there're super lucky!"

"....Yeah.... I think I know why they're so noisy. It's because one of the first years defeated their number one best student.... at least that's what I've heard."

"These first years are getting a lot interesting!"

"Yeah..."

30 minutes had passed, and no teachers had showed up. And the sun was beating down on the student's skin, they were getting frustrated.

"This sun is getting hotter and hotter as time passes by. Where are the teachers?!"

"Yeah! We've been out here all morning!"

"Some of us was here since early in the morning!"

'Geez... These guys are getting mad.' (Leon)

Leon thought that as the other students complained about their situation.

"Isn't this sun getting hotter and hotter? It's super hot." Liam said, whispering in Leon's ears.

Leon just nodded in response.... The sun was scorching and no one was prepared to handle that. At that time, Leon could feel someone coming towards him, but he couldn't tell who it was.

"Hey there, Leon dude...!" A arm was thrown over his shoulders, and upon turning around he saw that it was Samuel and his friend Keith. But Samuel was smiling smugly as he always was.

"Sup...?"

"Uh... Hey?"

Both Samuel and Keith greeted him. Making Liam feel all confused about what was happening.

"Hey guys, long time no see. How have you been?" Leon asked them.

'Who are they?... Nah, I won't get into their friendship.' (Liam)

"Just chilling out. How about you, Leon?" Samuel asked him with an annoying smile on his face.

"Ah, nothing.... Oh, I want you to meet my roommate Liam." Leon responded to him, and then introduced his roommate Liam to Samuel and his friend Keith.

"Oh, it's an honor meeting you guys, I'm Liam." Liam introduced himself and stretched out his hand to be shaken.

"Likewise."

They shock hand and began to laugh. Leon couldn't help but smile at the sight of that touching moment. Suddenly the doors of the auditorium opened up and some men wearing black robes stepped out of the auditorium and just stood there.

One of them was holding a staff with a red stone on it. Their faces were unknown.

"Settle down for a while students! And please form two lines like before, and make your way into the auditorium for your assessment." One of the robed men spoke up.

The students formed the lines and waited for the men to let them go into the auditorium. They were whispering between themselves.

They will have to get assessed for the school to place them in their classes and to give them their permanent star count. It has been in the academy for generations.

At that time, Sophie and Daniella arrived at the auditorium and joined the female line.

"Why are you guys late? You know, you were supposed to be here earlier." The robed man asked them.

"Sorry for being late! We were hungry, so we stopped at the Cafeteria...". Sophie explained.

" Sorry... " Daniella joined in too.

The robed man sighs and cleared his throat.

"Since that's over with, let's enter the auditorium and start your assessment. Please maintain the lines as we enter into the auditorium..."

The robed men gestured them to follow them, and they entered into the auditorium with some of the students feeling confident and some feeling anxious and nervous. When they entered into the auditorium, everyone was shocked by the interior of the auditorium.

It looked different from yesterday. Although the seats are still the same as before, the auditorium looked different there were a table on the stage with strange looking people sitting on it, and the atmosphere just felt different to Leon.

'This room is different... Something is up.' (Leon)

Leon felt uncomfortable and no one noticed that, other than his twin sister Sophie and in some way Daniella.

"Please come one by one to asses your star count. And after, you will be placed into your classes due to the amount of stars you have received."

The man said to the students.

'This is a new beginning. I can't wait to start my military Academy years, watching over Sophie!' (Leon)

Leon clinched has fist in excitement and smiled happily.
