"Our Academy would not tolerate this attack and would react with deadly force," Scarlet declared, and now her voice turned incredibly cold.

"We will hunt down those responsible and demonstrate our strength to the entire continent and to the Ground of Dark Matter exactly why it is a terrible mistake to provoke us!"

The students erupted into whistles and applause as their blood boiled at the thought of killing dark-cultivators!

Scarlet raised one hand, and the applause died away instantly. "However, that is a concern for the future. Right now, we need to address the present and acknowledge those among you who have not only survived but performed exceptionally well during the trial examination. you managed to thrive and demonstrate abilities far beyond what we expected from first-year students."

She gestured toward the massive holographic display at the center of the stadium, which was previously dark.

The holographic image suddenly flickered to life, showing a leaderboard with names and point totals arranged beside it.

[Final Trial Examination Rankings]

1st Place: Levi Borne - 51,847 Points

2nd Place: Selene Ashrune - 18,923 Points

3rd Place: Rosè Helmsworth - 16,445 Points

4th Place: Dante Heartgeave- 14,778 Points…

The students were immediately stunned when they saw the gap between first place and the rest of the students.

Just as there were about to erupt into noises, Scarlet's lips curved into a seductive smile and she continued her words.

"Normally, the top ten students in the trial examination would receive substantial rewards and recognition for their achievements. However, given the extraordinary circumstances you all faced, the academy leadership has decided to increase those rewards significantly. All students who placed in the top ten will be immediately promoted to Elite Class status, effective immediately."

"Hmm!?"

"Really!?"

"Top ten were actually promoted to become an Elite student?"

"Doesn't that mean they are half step into becoming Supernal Class student and just two steps to becoming a Legacy class student?"

"Oh my god! I shouldn't have hidden and would have just risk my life and continue to kill more monsters!"

"Fvck! I was just 200 points away to become number 10!"

"Students throughout the stadium began whispering frantically to each other, clearly in disbelief and envy and jealousy counted their faces when they looked at the leaderboard.

Usually, the Elite Class status was normally reserved for students who came from noble families, with Astra Soul talents of C-Rank or higher, and also possess bloodlines ranked within the top 10,000 of the Bloodline Codex.

These were the academy's privileged students, receiving access to superior resources, advanced instruction from the skilled instructors, and opportunities that regular students could only dream about.

For someone from a common background with a C rank and below talent to be promoted into the Elite Class was unheard of since the beginning of the academy.

As for Levi who was just an F rank student and had been advance to the Elite class, it would surely create waves throughout the entire academy.

As though not finished with her words, she continued.

"Additionally, all rewards that were originally promised to the top ten students will be doubled."

Every eye in the stadium turned to focus on Levi at that moment, and he felt the weight of nearly nine hundred gazes settling on him simultaneously.

They were filled with envy, jealousy and even some had anger which turned into killing intent on their faces as they looked at him.

Levi was expressionless as he stared forward and despite the stares on him, he didn't feel a single bit intimidated.

The auras of the nine hundred students was instantly offset by his Galactus Combat suit, not to mention his Genetic Warrior strength, they could barely affect his momentum.

Suddenly, Levi's eyes squinted as he felt a sharp killing intent lock into him.

At that moment, he abruptly looked to the left, at a seat where the spectators were sitting.

He saw an handsome young man with two golden stars on his student badge on his chest, indicating he's a Second year student and not just that, he was also an Elite Class student, which meant that he possess a powerful bloodline and a powerful Astra soul talent also.

Beside the young man was a beauty who looked weak and innocent as though she couldn't hurt a fly but she also possess two golden stars on her badge too.

The lady gave Levi an innocent smile like one a 10 year old would give when they saw candy but he knew she was incredibly dangerous as he could even sense her strength.

Levi's fixated back to the young man and his brows furrowed as his eyes met the young mans eyes.

The young man stared down at him expressionlessly without blinking. Levi furrowed brows suddenly smoothed and his face turned cold as he sensed the chilling killing intent from the young man.

Suddenly his lips curled into a smile as he withdrew his gaze.

Hw was able to figure out why the person was filled with killing intent. He had recognized Jacob's facial featured from the person and knew the the person was related to Jacob.

"Interesting."

Levi licked his lips as he turned and then faced the Sub-dean who was beginning to float above the platform.

"Hehe!" Jasmine's beautiful face bloomed as she giggled at the male beside her.

"What a shocker. I don't think he takes you seriously at all Cain. You really should forget everything about vengeance at this rate."

Jasmine said in a teasing tone in her tone as she spoke.

The handsome youth beside her was Caine Reddington, Jacob's brother. Jacob who Levi had crippled and humiliated the day before entering the Trial ground.

Caine's face was still expressionless but his hands were clenched into fists and veins the size of a pinky finger wriggled around his arms as though alive.

His skin was starting to turn purple as his bloodline started to activate. His coat started to flap as Astra energy surged out from him. The energy wave of half-step Fiend-Warrior began to surge out of him like a wave but he managed to control himself.

Caine inhaled deeply and then turned around and left the stadium without hesitation.

Jasmine saw this but ignored him as her eyes turned serious when she stared at Levi. But the smile on her face never faded.
