In a blink of an eye, the days passed by, and the day before the reopening of the classes came rather fast. The students who had gone home have already come back. The training grounds and the shopping areas became lively again.
Amidst all this, the results for the midterm exams got released and are currently being displayed on a huge screen in the public training grounds of the academy.
A huge crowd can be seen staring at the screen; some were happy, some were sad, and some were still looking for their ranks.
After the crowd dispersed, a young boy with black hair and pitch-black eyes walked towards the screen and started to look for his rank, and in just a few glances he found his rank:
[Rio Flash Rank 72]
A satisfied smile appeared on Rio's face, and he left for his training grounds.
'According to the novel, a new event should be starting in a few days; I should train and get ready for it.' (Rio)
...
After a few days, Ms. Anna made an announcement:
"As you all know, your midterms have ended. I am pleased to announce that, thanks to your diligent efforts in the exams, our class achieved the highest overall result compared to other classes.
As a result, your class has had the opportunity to go on a tour of the Roult Islands. I don't need to tell you about those islands; you already know about them. So be prepared; we will be leaving in two days.
And I warn you all not to relax too much, and don't forget to bring your weapons. You will have to participate in activities on the islands. Now you can leave."
As you must have already guessed, the Roult Islands are a place where several small and large islands are located near each other and are collectively called the Roult Islands.
Its name is Roult because it was the birthplace of a famous S-rank water mage. A small population lives here, and several luxury hotels are also located here.
Not to mention these islands have great scenery; it also has several low-rank dungeon gates. According to what was written in the novel, the Rault Islands is a very beautiful place. I mean, it was.
Yeah, they will get destroyed due to our disaster magnet, Fade. An S-rank Dungeon gate will open suddenly at these islands when Fade and all his classmates will be enjoying their free time there.
In the beginning, everything will be normal and a few peaceful days will be granted to the citizens of Rault Islands, then suddenly an S-rank dungeon will open, spurring a huge quantity of monsters.
In this world, every newly opened gate releases a particular number of monsters when it's newly opened.
The same goes for the S-rank dungeons. It will not release S-rank monsters, but a huge number of monsters below S-rank will be released, which will cause several students to be killed.
Later, those islands will need to be evacuated due to increasing casualties.
Although several students will fight and a stalemate will form for a while, due to the high number of monsters, they will have to leave the islands on the same ship they came.
'Let's prepare some potions to help me in difficult circumstances and increase my training intensity too.'
'Unlike the protagonist, I don't have the protection of heavenly luck; if I encountered an A-rank monster, I would not be able to make it back alive.'
After two days, the students were already gathered on the spot where they would be boarding their train to the nearby port.
Every student has an excited expression on his face. Well, it is really rare for the students of this academy to go on such tours. After all, this academy is famous for its strict discipline.
All the students boarded the train. Rio got on the train and sat on a seat near the window. Just as he was going to close his eyes, he heard an arrogant voice calling him:
"Hey, I am sitting here because there's no other seat; don't you dare think anything else."
"Yeah…Okay"
Rio's expressionless face remained the same as if he didn't care at all.
'What is with that unemphatic tone, humph who cares'
"Maintain a distance from me, and don't you dare touch me; otherwise I will give such a hard punch on your face that even your jaw will break, humph."
"Don't think that since you have saved me once, I will let you have your way with me; this young lady has a long line of suitors behind her."
"Not to mention several young masters and heirs of big families are dying to have a single talk with me; you are already lucky enough to even get to talk with me, humph."
"Not to mention I have already transferred enough money to your bank account; anyway, I have a huge amount of money; it doesn't matter if I throw away some of it in the garbage, humph."
"Do you even know how many luxury cars I have? Do you know how big a villa I live in? Obviously, you won't; how can someone like you have a villa, humph"
Hearing this non-stop talk of Lia, Rio was already in a daze.
'Was Lia always this chatty? In the novel, it was mentioned that she is the type of girl who won't even consider chatting with anyone and despises every single person.'
'Not to mention chatting with others the only time she spoke, she did so to spout curses on Kira in the novel; then why is it so different?'
'It's really strange. Was Lia always such a chatterbox?'
