Since the royal lineage first got their hands on the orb, it was rare to find anyone with an S cla.s.s after them, I even thought that only they would be able to get access to the S cla.s.srooms. However, it seems that Lord Ling"s daughter had betrayed his expectation that his daughter will be stuck in the A cla.s.s, and managed to attain higher ranks."Lady Akari sure is amazing." Said Melinda next to me
As I was wearing the emblem of the Flame of dragon obviously once the results were said, many servants gave us looks of awe, we were from her entourage after all.
A card with a coiling dragon was soon handed to her.
"It will be really difficult to reach where she is," I said to Melinda.
"Yes, it will be but we must reach that point else we will be left behind."
The ceremony continued, even the girl that once attained that b.l.o.o.d.y dinner was here… but I never got to know her. She had an A cla.s.s for magic and c for swordsmans.h.i.+p, it is rather impressive to say.
Only a dozen n.o.bles managed to get an S cla.s.s and were added to the ranks of the Highest cla.s.ses.
Then began the a.s.sortment of servants, for this they had to make it faster, and several orbs were placed. Though they will all be a.s.signed the F cla.s.s and they will have to start from there through challenges, it is better to make the hierarchy known, and for the most powerful servants to advance they should know their own power.
Surprisingly there actually were several servants with an S cla.s.s potential, they were taken in by the most powerful of n.o.bles, two of them were from the royal family.
" A cla.s.s for magic and…Negative for swordsmans.h.i.+p" said one of the ones that were a.s.signed the cards to the servants.
"What is that? A negative?" I asked Melinda
"Ah, a negative is for those that have an extremely low potential in one of either magic or swordsmans.h.i.+p. They are not rare."
"I hope I don"t end up as a negative…" I said
"Ah, don"t worry about that, the fact that you managed to cast even low-cla.s.s spells using chants is enough for you to be an F cla.s.s at least, while your swordsmans.h.i.+p is lacking due to your inexperience I was told by Master Shen that you managed the first kata of his Lotus swordsmans.h.i.+p so you should be exempted from being a negative." She said in a comforting tone.
"Oh, that is truly comfortable," I said as I breathed a sigh of relief.
Melinda"s turn was next.
As the daughter of the Lin has scored an impressive result her servants must be of proper caliber. That is a minimum requirement for us, though I know I will not be of the level at least Melinda will be capable of tilting the results.
"S cla.s.s for magic and C cla.s.s for swordsmans.h.i.+p!" said one of the managers.
Oh! Quite impressive! She managed to hold the honor of the Lin house herself with just her potential, I just hope that my results are not that horrible else I would be the doom of lady Akari"s reputation.
Then it was my turn.
"Whatever the results Basara, those are only numbers. What rules over your potential is your dedication and your hard work, even if given an impressive result it will only lead to arrogance and will hinder your progress." Said Nocturne before I could touch the Orb.
"Well no matter," I said as I pressed my hand on the orb.
First, there was nothing, then a small speck of black was floating inside the orb, the spec grew until it became a miniature floating orb, strangely resembling my sea of consciousness, then the orb slightly shook and a wave of dark light washed over the room, instantly turning day into night, while everything became shrouded in darkness…
The light soon retracted, while everyone felt rather surprised the results actually were quite frightening.
"D- Double negative!"
Huh?
Haaaaaa?!!!!
The room broke into laughter
What the h.e.l.l! Double negative?!Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
"I told you do not bother with those results Basara…"
The card I was issued was a white one with a dark orb inside it. It had a negative sign on it without any Letter.
"What does this mean?" I asked the man who was holding the orb.
"As a servant… no matter what your Rank you will be a.s.signed to the F cla.s.s first. So even if you are not worthy you will still be able to enter the cla.s.s… however you must still prove yourself worthy of your cla.s.s I have no idea why the Ling house would put an incompetent person like you with their servants, but still, you are now one of this School"s students. You should still strive to become better, Next!" he said as he dismissed me without giving me a second glance.
"What was that?! I think that orb is faulty." Said Melinda trying to comfort me, but I couldn"t give it any thoughts… I mean a double negative! Sigh… I was trying to keep a low profile, but somehow during that blackout, I grabbed the attention of everyone in the room, then with this stupid result I managed to be the laughingstock of everyone.
I took a glace at the face of Lady Akari and saw a look of disappointment on her face… which just broke something inside me…
What a stupid way to start the school year…
