Chapter 155: The Top Three Students
🕑 Added 2024-09-09 14:12:41 +0000 UTC"Alright..." Sophia's voice broke through the crowd, demanding the full attention of everyone present. Whispers ceased, and all gazes were immediately directed at her with utmost respect.
"Congratulations on your success, everyone!" Sophia said, a slight smile spreading across her face, although there was a fierceness behind her sharp eyes.
"You have managed to endure until now, completing the highly significant Semester Exam. With this, you can continue your studies at this Academy." Sophia's words brought relief to most of the students, but some began to feel anxious.
"However, for those who failed... who performed very poorly, there will be unavoidable consequences. They will be expelled from the Academy." Sophia continued in a more serious tone.
The eyes of several students widened, fear began to creep into their hearts, and some of them started to panic.
"However! There are some of you who have shown extraordinary hard work, and although you did not meet the standards, we have decided to give them a second chance. They can still continue their studies at this Academy." Sophia quickly continued in a softer tone.
Sophia's warm smile made the students feel somewhat relieved, although the fear still left a clear mark. Various emotions crossed their faces; some smiled in relief, while others bit their lips to hold back their anxiety.
"Among all of you who have managed to endure, there are several groups that stand out, gathering the most points. They are the best among you, achieving the top three from all groups." Sophia continued with a stronger voice.
Upon hearing this, the students began to whisper again, this time with a mix of curiosity and admiration. Who would be mentioned? Who managed to be the best? The moments of waiting felt like torture, and a tense atmosphere enveloped the entire room.
"Who are they?" asked a student with a curious tone, his eyes fixed on the various groups standing around.
"I don't know! Maybe they are from Class A or B. Only they have a chance to reach the Top Three," replied his friend hesitantly, as if trying to guess the identities of the groups they were discussing.
"Wait, I mean, who are they?" pressed the first student, this time in a more serious tone, his eyes narrowing sharply as if hoping for a clearer answer.
"I swear, I don't know either!" his friend replied in frustration, also looking at the various groups with speculation.
Amidst the bustling whispers of the curious students, Haruto stood calmly. Haruto was completely unaffected by their curiosity. He was busy counting the Tokens he had collected during the exam. One Bronze Token, one Silver Token, three Gold Tokens, and one Purple Token—a total of 220 Points when everything was counted.
"Why do I only have one Bronze Token?" Haruto muttered to himself, pondering for a moment.
Then Haruto vividly remembered how he had brutally defeated his opponents, so quickly and mercilessly, that the defeated students didn't have time to drop their Tokens. Instead, their Tokens were taken back to the Academy along with their powerless bodies, carried away by the light of disqualification. Haruto had no chance to collect them.
However, for Haruto, ranking was not the ultimate goal. Being at the top of his class was not a priority. There was something far more important than mere prestige at the Academy. Haruto's sole purpose was to survive—and more than that, to stop the Apocalypse that he knew was coming in the future.
Haruto's thoughts drifted to the Hiraishin Kunai now in his hand, a very valuable and rare item. With this kunai, Haruto could teleport with a speed impossible for an ordinary ninja. One Hiraishin Kunai he kept for himself, while the other he would give to his Clone. Whether it would be given to Kakashi, Obito, Konohamaru, Ino, or even Kakuzu, everything depended on the situation.
