___________________________________
Established In 2015, It was the first-ever training institute for awakened teenagers.
It was mainly a school, with some other more interesting subjects about the battle and how to fight dungeon monsters, Normal monsters, Mana Knowledge, Battle Techniques, Virtual Simulations, and the like.
If we excluded the above, It was a normal school that had its normal events like sports day, culture day, trips, and the like.
It had a huge number of sponsors from powerful families like the Wellington's, Powerful S-Class, And An SS Class Hero awakened.
Many Of the top rankers graduated from this Academy.
With a Campus around an entirely man-made island. It had multiple facilities for the best education and stress relief for its students.
It truly deserved the Number 1 Rank among all Institutes to train awakened.
The Children of multiple powerful figures and families attended this same school.
And Just like their backgrounds.
They were all also arrogant as hell.
This was also one of the reasons why I didn't want to rank low.
With how serious the competition here was, Those losers would be looking for someone ranked below them to pick on.
This is why, Aside from completing the quest, I honestly had no qualms about trying my absolute best to rank high.
A Student from Shield Could be expelled easily if their rankings or at least their ability would not improve at all.
Even If they had from powerful backgrounds.
Well, Although life here wouldn't go as easy as I had thought.
Considering the job I had to do here, Life would be hectic.
Why?Th.ê most uptod/at𝓮 n𝒐vels a/re published on n(0)velbj)n(.)c/o/m
Because the one I was supposed to protect had undergone a surprising amount of assassination or kidnapping events despite her background.
No, It would be more appropriate to say because of her background.
Sabrina Wellington had lived a sheltered life from birth. She had no friends, No Social Life outside of a few family meetings. She had never even tried junk food before. This was why her nervousness when she entered the school was through the roof.
Although She appeared cold, That was mainly because of what she had gone through since her birth. She didn't smile a lot and didn't even talk a lot even if her friends talked to her first. She only talked to them when she had gotten comfortable with them. And that took a long time.
Multiple Kidnappings where her family had to pay a lot of money for her release. Even though she had a shit ton of her own security personnel, The Wellington's Had a lot of shit ton of enemies as well.
Her food, Upbringing, and Teaching were all done by her caretaker, whose name was...?
...
Harry?
I think that was his name, After a hell of a lot of chapters, my memories were hazy.
Although I remembered every major event.
I did not remember the names of every character introduced.
I remembered the main ones, But not the extras.
The same type of extras that I wanted to be.
But alas, If I want to survive all the shit that would happen in the future, I needed to rank high so the building I will be assigned to would be the best one that provided the best training facilities.
The room would be the same as the suite that I had lived in.
There were four grades of student dorm buildings for each year.
Rabbit
Snake
Tiger
Dragon
The dragon was the highest tier with the rabbit being the lowest.
Only the top ten of each year were assigned to the dragon dorm.
So among like the thousand of the total students.
Only 30 would be present in the dragon building.
And I wanted to get to my room fast.
Why? Because I wanted to study the spatial guide.
I was so preoccupied with creating the spatial rings and the minor identity crisis that I completely forgot about it.
So I Hurriedly went to the overcrowded reception area to get my student ID card.
I received an electronic ID card on my phone. I just needed to show them it to receive my student card.
Which would be responsible for a lot of things here.
I walked passed the long queue that was full of people and had a lot of parents with their children carrying their suitcases. I didn't bother waiting by standing in it.
The privilege of the first rank.
I was not the only one who was brave enough to come late.
They were all wearing fancy suits. While I was the country bumpkin wearing just a black buttoned shirt and black khaki pants.
Walking beside the long queue, I received a lot of disdainful stares, But all they could do was stare at me.
If they caused a commotion here, their children would be expelled.
That's why they remained standing in their positions and don't dare to come to stop me.
They were thinking that the boy walking towards the reception was already a student, Given that he had no suitcase, Or was someone high ranked that had the privilege of not waiting.
Finally reaching the end of the queue, The receptionist looked at me weirdly and I gave her my phone, Completely disregarding the Girl that was in front of me and was about to give the receptionist her Electronic ID.
She looked at me with hate in her eyes but I didn't care, The receptionist, seeing my behavior towards her was hesitant but quickly took my phone to not anger the lady in front of her.
Scanning the phone, She had an expression of utter shock and with trembling hands gave me My student card.
Taking it from her. I walked away and entered the main campus by showing the card to gate guardians.
***
She was very angry. She had waited in the goddamn line for half an hour before it was her turn but now a Boy about her age didn't even bother to wait in line and just handed the receptionist his phone when she was just about to.
The Boys face was barely a little above average. He had Pure white hair and a muscular physique. The most noticeable thing about him was his eyes.
She was surprised when she looked into his eyes, All she could find were two beautiful bright blue diamonds.
The boy left as soon as the receptionist gave him his phone and card without even sparing a glance at her.
He just had an aloof look on his face.
And On that day, He had also made a slight enemy with Elaine Parker.
One of the main Protagonists of The Ultimate Sin.
With Bright gold hair and A beautiful face, Everybody was looking at her.
Except for the bastard that just cut in line and didn't even spare her a glance even though she was right beside him.
But she did not act.
For she had caught a glimpse of his student Card and saw the bright No.1 written in gold.
Only the Top 5 of the students of every
year had the privilege to cut in line and unfortunately even though she was strong and within the top ten, She was not In the top five.
So She could only grit her teeth and stare at the bastard that just left with a hateful gaze.
***
Arrived in front of the luxurious dorm area of the Dragon Tier. I stood in front of the gates.
Two Huge and muscular guards were guarding the insanely good-looking hotel type of building.
Both Of them were B Rank.
They looked at me and one of them said.
"Student Card Please."
Without Saying anything back to him. I just handed him my card.
Taking my card, He looked at the rank printed on it with surprise and hurriedly scanned it.
Once He confirmed the card was legitimate after scanning it.
He respectfully bowed to me and handed me the card while his colleague opened up the gates.
Without wasting a second I went inside.
"So that was the first rank of the first year huh. Damn The rumors about him being C-Rank we're true."
One of the guards spoke, The other just nodded at him and began dialing on his phone.
They had been asked by the School Board as well as a few of the top 10 students of all years to inform them when 'He' would come.
All of them had arrived except for him.
And a majority didn't believe what Their sources had told him of his rank.
So they would confirm it themselves.
They would confirm the First Year rank First's 'C Rank' grade by themselves to confirm.
Unfortunately, he didn't arrive as most of them had.
The third and second years were already in their dorms, While all of the top ten first years except for Rank 1 had arrived.
Now, that they knew of his Arrival.
They would visit him themselves.
To truly Confirm If what was said about him was true or not.
And to get on Humanity's First Spatial awakened goods side.
***
I had arrived on my designated floor.
Yep, that's right an entire floor was assigned to the students here.
After arriving at my floor.
I looked towards the floor.
Not towards it but the floor below it.
I could see a bright golden flame.
That was also rooted in the same position just a little bit in front of me.
That was Sabrina Wellington.
My floor was directly above hers.
And due to our contract.
Just as I could see her location.
She could also See mine.
