Chapter 85 Assembly [Part 2]
Hawkin stepped onto the high stage, accompanying behind him were the other two professors, Anna and Lector.
He took up the high stage, and as he got there, he enhanced his voice with mana so everyone in the assembly could hear him clearly.
Seeing that the entire assembly had quieted down, he spoke, "Greetings, you youngings, I apologize for the delay as we had to prepare all things that we would be announcing, such as the changes we have all agreed upon that will take place starting today."
"But anyway, I welcome you all to Pontiac Academy!"
"Usually you would have been all separated into groups to start taking the test and such, but we gathered you here for that reason."
"First of all, I'll start with everything that will remain the same: the general knowledge test will be done the same, and how your class ranking will be determined for the first years."
"As for those who have already done all this things, you all must be confused as to the reason why you all have been instructed to join in on this assembly!"
While Hawkin was speaking, he noticed something in everyone. "Ok, ok, I'll try to keep this short so we can go ahead and be done with all this boring stuff."
Everyone laughed at his words, as he really guessed what they were all thinking, which was that this assembly was quite boring.
"So the changes! You all should be aware of the unfortunate Twilight incident, right?"
"Yes!" Everyone unanimously said.
"So there will no longer be an expedition to the Twilight for the first year students, and that would come only once you all have become second year students. This was done to avoid such incidents from occurring again."
Once those words dropped out of Hawkins mouth, a young girl stood up who was sitting at the side, grabbing Hawkins attention. "Yes Fiona? What's the matter?"
Subsequently, everyone turned their gaze towards her. "Isn't that Zenryx Raverdieu's sister? She is too pretty!" A young man stated.
A girl from the crowd sitting down heard this young man, and then she thought of something and fell into deep thought as she scrutinized Fiona.
"Uhmm, Professor, I have a question."
"What is it?"
"So what happens to the students who have participated in the Twilight expedition and have killed beasts and such to earn academy points? Wouldn't we have just wasted time going there?"historical
"Well, I was just about to get to that part."
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm "Ok, got it." Fiona exclaimed as she sat back down.
Celestia, who was beside her, noticed something and asked, "By the way, Fiona, where is Xue? How come she is not here?"
"Ahh her? She was called by the dean, for some reason, quite strange."
"Hmm..." A bit perplexed about why she was called by the dean.
They then turned their attention back to Hawkin, who was about to explain about the students who had already participated in the Twilight expedition.
"So about Fiona's question earlier, you all should still have the Tritonic devices in which you all recorded the information of all the beasts you all have killed and their corpses in your storage ring."
"You may all stay behind after this assembly and have it all calculated by the staff that would later come here, and you all would receive the academy points you all deserved. Everyone else would be taking the test we will administer ourselves."
"As for how the first year rankings will be determined, you all will be competing with each other in the arena. Since there's quite a lot of you this year, there would be ten battles each round, and the elders of the academy would be helping out to judge the battle."
"That's it for now; everything else will be explained once you all have become the official students of Pontiac Academy and during your orientation."
After that, he stepped out of the stage and instantly appeared where the exit door to the assembly hall was, along with Anna and Lector.
Anna shouted, grabbing everyone's attention, and they all turned their heads back to face her. "Ok, all the new upcoming students, follow us; we will start doing all your sh*t!"
This was the first time Anna spoke during the entire assembly, and everyone couldn't help but think, 'Uhhh... Is this really a professor? Why is the first thing that came out of her mouth so vulgar?'
They all shook their heads and stood up, preparing to follow the professors out. While all the other students who had all done the test stayed behind.
Two girls and one guy were among those that were about to follow the professors, but then one of the girls stopped on her track and said, "You two go ahead first."
The young man questioned, "Why? Where are you going?"
But the young girl ignored him and started heading in a certain direction.
Just as Daphne, Celestia, and Fiona were having a conversation with each other, a young girl approached them.
Noticing the girl who was walking towards them, all three girls stopped their conversation and looked at her.
Once she arrived in front of them, Daphne was the first one to speak: "Hello? Can we help you?" perplexed about why this girl suddenly approached them.
"Hello, I am Crystal Velart." She then looked at Fiona and said, "You are Fiona Raverdieu, right? May I speak to you in private for a moment?"
After hearing her family name, all three girls unconsciously thought, 'Isn't that the baron family that was recently destroyed? The young lady of that family actually survived?!' They were all surprised.
"Yes, I am," Fiona responded as she slowly sized up the girl in front of her. "Why do you need to speak to me? As far as I am concerned, I do not think we are familiar with each other, and this should be the first time we are meeting, right?"
"Yes, we are not, but I am familiar with your brother, Zenryx; I am kind of a friend of his."
