Chapter 369: Still King.

Throughout the history of the Calton magic academy, a commoner hasn’t taken the overall top student in any year. Blake was the first to do it, and surely the nobles didn’t like it.

They saw it as an attack on their power and ego, which is why they had equipped their descendants with a lot of resources and had also used underhand methods to try and eliminate him.

Compared to last semester, there was a little bit more hope that Luciano would overtake Blake, and they were ready to bank on it.

“Entering in 5th and 4th place is Haldor with a total of 157k points, and Camilla with a total of 175k points.” Professor Gibson paused as the students gave out a round of applause.

By now it was more than clear that one’s rank didn’t determine their final position at the end of the semester. The ranks were a measure of one’s battle prowess, while the class activities measured other things like leadership skills.

‘Not bad.’ Blake thought as he clapped.

“3rd place goes to Damon with a total of 213k points!”

.....

Everyone already knew who the 3rd position was, and didn’t care much about it. Right now, everyone was at the edge of their sits as they were waiting for the most important part of the semester.

“With a total of 254k points, the 1st runner-up position goes to...” Professor Gibson could feel the tension behind the pin-drop silence in the hall, so he decided to add to it.

“Luciano!”

Although many were disappointed by the result, the entire hall erupted in applause.

“Coming in first position is Blake with a total of 281k points.” Professor Gibson announced.

‘Just like last time.’ Blake couldn’t help but chuckle as the applause he received was abysmally low when compared to that of Luciano.

He wasn’t bothered nor did he need their applause. The nobles hated him and they were well aware that he hated them too.

Since everything concerning the semester was finally over, Professor Gibson decided it was time to end it.

“The semester is officially over, have fun in your break and we will see you in 3 weeks.” Professor Gibson said to the students before he and Instructor Zirrack left through a warp gate.

‘3 weeks... That was longer than I expected.’ Blake said to himself.

“What are your plans for the holiday?” Blake asked but as he turned to the others he saw that they were focused on the holographic screens projected by their badges.

‘No wonder the hall is still quiet.’

Unlike his result which was always announced on the stage, others had to manually check out their performance through their badges or by going through the school’s info board.

After a few minutes, the attention of others returned to the hall, and there were smiles on their faces.

“What took you guys so long?” Blake couldn’t understand why checking their positions took minutes.

“I don’t know about them, but I was checking why the gap between you and Luciano was so large.

It turns out that it was from the team test. Apart from the points gotten from the test, you received 40k points from being the number 1 team and also the MVP of the team test.” Brian said in the mind link.

‘Did you forget I have the system? I was keeping track of every single point I and Luciano got, that was why I wasn’t worried at all.’ Blake said.

‘Wow!’ Brian and Castiel were stunned by the information.

“I was shocked by what I saw, so it took me some time to process it.” Tessie said as she showed him the holographic list.

“Castiel 6th, Brian 8th, and you 10th.” A proud smile was on Blake’s face as he saw all of them within the top 10.

[That explains why almost every eye is looking in your direction.] The system drew Blake’s attention to the hundreds of students staring at them.

“The 3 of them are nothing but useless. They are just getting carried by 2 of them.”

“Blake is a beast! He is the reason Owen Ulrik is at 9th place!”

“Why would they choose to carry someone as weak as her? I am pretty sure she is their sl*t”

With the enhanced senses of the system, Blake was able to hear a lot of things people were saying about them. He was more than disgusted by humans and wished a shot from a mana cannon could be fired into the hall.

The vile words from them made Blake fume on the inside. He didn’t care when people spoke ill about him, but he couldn’t take it when it was his friends.

‘Sadly, I can’t do anything, but when I get an opportunity I would make sure they wish they were dead.’ Blake swore.

[There would be a lot of haters, so you should focus more on those that appreciate you.] The system pointed out the commoners that praised Blake.

“Congrats to you guys!” Blake said to his friends as he masked his anger with a smile.

“Shouldn’t we be the ones congratulating you guys?” Castiel said to Blake and Luciano.

“Exactly! You guys make maintaining the 1st and 2nd position look too easy, but everyone in this hall knows it is an impossible task.” Brian said.

“Then congratulations to all of us for being in the top ten.” Luciano said not caring about all those that might have heard them.

...

After lunch, the group met up in Blake’s room because Luciano had good news for the business.

“The humidifier air freshener has gotten patented and would last for 20 years.” Luciano said, sending everyone into shock.

On Earth, it took almost 2 years before an invention received a patent. Even Tessie whose family was into business knew how long it would take to get on.

They would have loved to know how, but this was Luciano, the son of the emperor that they were talking about.
