Highest point

The screen paused and showed the top five rankings covered in black as before.

"Okay. You already know what your rank is. 1000 people…no, 999 people should be ready to take this last test. But before I start the test, I will give you one interesting thing first."

Argon snapped his finger, Three lights emitted a bright light like a beacon radiating up to the roof of the academy hall.

"...??"

"What's this?"

"..."

Everyone looked at the 3 people, the light emitted from the three was so bright that even people outside the hall could see light.

Argon showed a sly smile on his face. "This is a privilege that the top five rankers have. Those in the top five will light a red beacon to identify them. When it is lit, all forms of camouflage and concealment magic will not work."

"You can think of them as fluffy sheep or golden tickets that will take you straight into the academy." Argon said casually while swinging the staff he had in his hand. He looked at everyone who was there.

His wand pointed at the first person clad in beacon light. Everyone's gazes turned towards him. The screen above the podium removes the black shroud that closes the 5th rank.

5. Veronica Ashburn - 10,000

Veronica who erased her existence was immediately exposed helplessly. She didn't say anything as if she had expected it.

"Let's see, 5th place. Veronica Ashburn." Argon showed another screen in front of him. There are various kinds of assessments given by various kinds of examiners displayed there.

Argon read it casually. But his voice was heard by everyone like it was right beside them.

"Candidate Veronica Ashburn. 17 years old, Origin is not mentioned due to confidentiality, joining as a member of white snow academy."

"Wait… what?"

"...!!! You must be kidding"

People were shocked when they heard it. They did not expect that even people who had joined as members of the academy themselves would still have to take an entrance test to become students here.

Veronica didn't say anything. She was silent with an expressionless face. Her gaze didn't leave the screen that showed the rankings in the slightest as if he didn't want to miss a thing.

She is so beautiful.

Those were the thoughts of everyone who looked at her. They were so amazed by Veronica's beautiful face.

Various expressions could be seen on their faces. Awe, pity, embarrassment, and fear.

Right. They were afraid of her for one thing. She is a member of white snow academy.

They didn't know why people who had joined White Snow Academy still had to register as students, but they were all sure of one thing.

Veronica wasn't something they could underestimate. Argon's next words prove that.

"Let's see, based on the final evaluations given by various examiners. Veronica Ashburn is a pure magician with an ice elemental specialization. Has a very high mana sense, with a very high magic sensitivity and mental resistance."

Argon shows another screen. "Scored the second test score with an astonishing result with a score of 75%. Even though it is considered to have a very high value, it is only from a theoretical point of view so that it lowers the value that it has."

Veronica looked at the screen with no expression on her face. A few tiny wrinkles appeared on her forehead, but most people didn't notice. She was pissed off right now.

Argon pointed his staff at the person with the next light. He was a person clad in a black robe that covered his entire body. Only his dead man's eyes could be seen beneath his robes.

4. Bernard lurk - 15,000

"Candidate Bernard Lurk. 17 years old, origin: land of the dead."

"..!!!!!!" Many people were shocked to hear that. Those who knew what the land of the dead was immediately averted their eyes from Bernard. Those who were near him immediately distanced themselves from him leaving him alone.

Bernard did not react in the least. He just stood there silently like a living corpse. He was so different from everyone else that the aura of a living person was. The thick smell of death could be felt by everyone in the hall.

"Why do so many people stay away from him?" One of the participants asked curiously Amanda who was standing next to her. "What does this have to do with the land of the dead?"

Amanda glanced slightly at Bernard before turning her gaze to the woman who asked her. "Because he came from the Land of the Dead he was shunned by many people. It is special because it is the place where adherents of one of the ancient belief 'Court of Death' erected one of its temples and is the most visited place by adherents."

"I still don't understand. Why is he shunned just because he comes from the land of the dead?" he asked.

"Have you ever been to the land of the dead?" she asked.

"No."

"Good, don't ever go there no matter what." Amanda ended the cheer and focused on hearing Argon's explanation. Even though she didn't like the person from the land of the dead, she still had to listen to the explanation given by Argon.

Amanda is sure, the two of them will become enemies. Knowing who your opponent is before the fight is one of the things even an idiot knows if you want to increase the chances of success from this test.

"Based on the final evaluation given by various examiners. Bernard Lurk is a pure magician specializing in dark magic and death-based magic. Has an extremely high mana sense on a par with Veronica Ashburn, magic sensitivity as well as high mental toughness."

"Scored the second test score with an astonishing result with a score of 50%. Problem solving involves a lot of references with various references and experiences that can be adapted in the field.

Argon pointed his staff at the other participants.

"Rank 3…"

…

As everyone averted their eyes from Bernard, one person looked at him with angry and hateful eyes. If one's gaze could kill the one being looked at, then this gaze would now kill him.

"Raven? What happened?" Rachel asked him. She was worried to see her friend suddenly lose control at this time.

"No. There isn't any. I'm fine." Raven had a smile on his face like before. He tried to calm himself down but his body was shaking uncontrollably. His beautiful golden blue eyes radiated deep killing intent. Argon's words slowly faded in his ears. The focus right now was only on Bernard Lurk.

'No. I have to focus. Not for the moment. I still have time.'

'I have to rationalize my thoughts.'

Raven calmed himself down and took a deep breath. The anger contained within him was hidden deeply. His hand gripped the sword at his waist tightly.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Rachel asked worriedly.

"I am alright. You don't have to worry about me. Just focus on the final test of white snow academy."

Both of them turned their gaze towards Argon who had given a short introduction of the third rank.

Argon sat on the podium floor looking at everyone in front of him. He flicked his left finger and the light shining on the three people slowly disappeared. His gaze was like looking at an idiot was the same as a mindless beast.

When the 3 lights that lit up the hall like beacons disappeared, They realized something.

Aren't there five people who should be shining brightly in the light too?

Where are the other two people?

Argon chuckled and answered the question in their heads disdainfully. "You fools, morons, and idiots. I can't even describe the appropriate words to describe you right now."

"You all came here with the wish to become students of White Snow Academy. But, Almost everyone here couldn't even achieve good grades during the written test. Out of the 1000 people who passed the first stage of the test, no more than 10 people even got good marks on the written test. I have no words other than stupid and idiotic to describe you right now."

Everyone had a sour look on their faces. Some tried to reply to the words but when they saw Argon who was sitting relaxed with a staff in his hand they were silent and didn't answer at all.

Especially the people in rooms 1-A. Ever since the incident a woman was thrown out of the room like useless trash just for asking something simple. They had kept their mouths shut ever since coming to this place.

The strong reign. That is the law of this world. Because of the white snow academy, no one here dared to oppose and reply to Argon's words.

Argon continued "Do you think we care about you just because you have the stigma of a genius placed on you? If you think like that you better go now too. We don't need you guys to study at white snow academy." Argon stamped his wand on the floor of the hall. Instantly a large crack formed from the touch of his magic wand. This made people wonder if he was really a pure magician.

"I ask all of you, what you can give to this academy. What grades do you have that made you dare to register here?" he asked.

Argon's voice was neither big nor loud. Her very gentle yet sarcastic voice could be heard clearly as if she was speaking directly to everyone's ears.

But that voice left everyone speechless. They were silent, not daring to say a word.

"I'll show you what the highest rank in your class looks like. Also the best among all of you." Argon smiled saying it. It wasn't like he was looking at them with disdain. There is a hint of pleasure in the sound.

Argon removes the screen showing the data of the third rank and brings up two new screens. The two people who dominated the first and second rankings who were still a mystery were slowly being revealed.

When they saw him, their mouths dropped open. Even Raven who was a regressor couldn't help but feel surprised.

2. Kevin Heider - 75,567

1. Ivo graham - 95,750

"No way. Impossible!" That was the thought that was running through everyone at this moment.
