Chapter 10
"LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THE ACE RANKER OF THE MAGICAL FACULTY IS SOMEONE UNEXPECTED, IVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PERSON EVER, THE PERSON I'M TALKING ABOUT IS LISA!!"
Lisa comes and stands on the podiums first place
The male students in the crowd were going wild, after seing three beautiful girls at the same time, the three became the most popular female students of their grade
Student body Vp continues
LETS MOVE ON TO THE 3RD RANKER OF THE COMBATANTS FACULTY, WHO IS NONE OTHER THAN SIMON IMPIA WHOS FAMILY IS KNOW AS THE FAMILY OF SWORDS
THE SECOND RANKER IS NONE OTHER THAN THE OLDER BROTHER OF SREYA KERMA, YES I'M TALKING ABOUT RILEY KERMA"
Lisa was intrigued when she heard that both siblings became rankers in such a Meritocritic academy,
Student body VP continues
"NOW ITS TIME TO REVEAL THE ACE RANKER OF THE COMBATANTS FACULTY"
Lisa while looking at the crowd thought [ I wonder who the Ace ranker of the combatants faculty is]
"THE ACE RANKER IS LUGH!!"
When lugh stepped on the podium all the female students went wild
Lisa was surprised to find lugh here, she was starting at him with a serious expression but lugh didn't look at her even for a second
Everyone there noticed this
Riley was confused as to why this girl was looking at lugh so was sreya, merlin also noticed and the whole crowd went wild, they were making up stories and rumors started to spread amongst the students
Then student body Vp continues
" THING SURE ARE HEATING UP, WELL, YOU SIX CAN GO TO YOUR DORM ROOM "
The six rankers got of the podium, and the podium disappeared
Lisa told Merlin " Lets go" they were walking in a opposite direction to that of lugh
Merlin started asking Lisa about her peculiar behavior which Lisa ignored "wait, is that the man you were talking about Lisa?" Lisa when she heard this she stopped and nodded
Merlin expression became serious, and she locked back to see that lugh who was walking away suddenly stopped, he turns and gives merlin a sharp look
Merlin who noticed this felt very uneasy
Lugh then walked away
THE NEXT DAY
MERLIN was flabbergasted when she saw Lisa in the academy uniform " you look soo gorgeous 😍 in that uniform, it compliments you completely "
Lisa who got a little shy after hearing this also complicated merlin
Merlin asked Lisa if she saw the male students uniform to which Lisa replied that she did saw" I think male uniforms also have a blazer and a black plant, their shirts seems to be customizable"
. . . .
they then realized that it was getting late and they might miss out on the headmaster speech
They then rushed to where the speech was given
When they arrived they saw girl's grouping around someone, they went and asked
THE fan gurl said " oh, my! They look so hot in the uniforms, and I am not giving you my spot"
Both merlin and Lisa were creeped out
Then the students were organized, the Ace rankers were called to the front by the headmaster kiero casio
The headmaster " let me first introduce you to our system, if you want to be a ace ranker than you have to beat these two, but I pity you first years, for.,You won't become ace rankers of your grade because these two are monsters, if you want to be an ace ranker than you have to get a full score in 6 subjects of either combatants or magical faculty, and Lisa here did just that, but I pity the combatants faculty even more because you don't even have a chance at becoming a ace ranker because lugh here not only aced the combatants 6 subject but also 6 magical subjects"
The whole crowd completely went silent when they heard that
Both Lisa and lugh went back to their seats after which the headmaster continued
" before I end the day, out all of you just how many know about The dark kingdom "
The crowd was gossiping as this organization was just a rumor according to them
The headmaster continued
"Yes, this organization is real and this kingdom has given us, the einvalla academy a challenge that they will take the philosophers stone"
headmaster continues proudly " I now accept their challenge, I dare them to come and steal the stone, we are no weakling that will get scared over a group from child stories"
Everyone started cheering and the day ended
Merlin and Lisa were talking" there will be three students of the same gender in the same room"
to which Lisa said " where is third student?" As she said this the door opened and enters a female student
Merlin asks her if she was the third roommate to which the female student said "yes, let me introduce my self I'm Sreya kerma, I hope we get along" both Lisa and merlin introduced themselves
After they talked for a while merlin asked "sreya, is it true that you have traveled here with the ace ranker lugh"
Lisa got uncomfortable when she heard this
sreya said "yes, I did traveled with him" to which merlin said with sarcasm " so. What kind of a person is he ?"
Sreya thinks and says " I have only recently met him, so, I dont really know"
Merlin gave a puzzled look " thats quite ironic, your brother and his friendship is rumored to be an example of how friends should be"
Sreya says with a smile" yeah, thats true"
"Not only that I also heard a rumor that there are marriage talks of you and him, is that true?"
Lisa was taken a back by this " are you serious?, but I dont think he will marry someone just like that"
Sreya noticed that Lisa was speaking as if she knew lugh, but she remained silent
When merlin heard Lisa she gave a perplexed look
" what, you don't know?, fine I'll tell you, according to the rumor lugh is actually a banished noble, so, if he marries sreya then he can get his noble rank back"
[no way]
Sreya then says seriously but with a smile
" merlin, you asked what kind of a person is lugh, I dont have a answer to that, but, he has already declined the marriage through my brother, I suggest you to dont trust such baseless rumors, they don't know what they are talking about"
to which she agreed and apologized
Seing how the atmosphere was getting tense Lisa suggested that they should go to bed, and they all went to their respective beds
The next day
"GOOD MORNING everyone, I am your home room teacher, since this is our first day, I'll just explain some things, first of all, the students present here are mixed from both the faculty, although you have different majors, but, certain subjects like history is a common subject, for, which you shall gather here"
In this classroom there were total 50 students and the 6 rankers were also in this batch
The homeroom teacher (HT) continued
" since today is your first day, lets just goof around a bit with this magic sphere"
Magic sphere: when 10 or more magic stones are refined into one, their capacity and capability increases.
HT "come one by one and put your hand on the sphere, its a fun way to spend the time isn't"
Students started going and putting their hand on the sphere one by one, but a certain male students mana made the sphere glow in the same was as a certain female student, which the HT noticed and said
"Like how you have seen, the mana of these two showed similarities, which is not possible due to mana properties being unique to a single individual,
mana properties completely differs from person to person, because every persons mana properties are build up by their experiences, so, now you are wondering, how come these two have similar mana properties,
Its simple, a woman's mana properties are capable of changing their properties to that of a man they love, which means these two have tasted the forbidden fruit "
The whole class busted in laughter and they started to cheer those two, but those were completely embarrassed
Lisa after hearing the teacher's explanation realized [ the mana I have is borrowed from lugh, so, ofcourse, it will show exactly same mana properties..., oh no, we are doomed!!!! ]
Now its Lisa's turn, she goes and hesitantly puts her hand on the sphere, the sphere started to give a insane lblue glow, which was bright enough to blind everyone there
She came and sat back down,
She was even more worried because she is already at the centre of attention
HT "After seing her mana levels, now its time for you show your skills, Mr strongest" the teacher said while looking at lugh
Lisa [ oh nooo, its already his turn!!! ]
Lugh goes and puts his hand on the sphere
Lisa was getting more anxious
"Wait??? Nothing's happening, the sphere is doing nothing"
Then suddenly the sphere exploded, teacher was thrown back and hit the board, the students screamed in surprise
THE HT stops him as he was going back to his seat
" you follow me" she took him with her somewhere
Everyone in the classroom were puzzled as to what just happened
Meanwhile in the headmaster office
Headmaster was speaking with the incharge
" so the first year ace rankers homeroom teacher has asked to use the philosophers stone?"
To which the incharge replies " yes, not only that , she had lugh with her"
As they were talking, suddenly everything around them started to shake, " incharge,!! Whats going on"
" i dont know sir??"
Then immensely dense mana covered the whole academy, the mana was soo concentrated that some students were having trouble breathing and some even passed out
INSIDE of the vault room was where the philosophers stone was located
The Homeroom teacher couldn't stand up because of the concentrated mana's overflow
She somehow gathered strength and shouted
" Lugh!!, stop!!!!!."
The immense mana overflow stopped.
