All the students came out of the dungeon.
Will had asked Nora not to tell the other 3 about him using the E rank spell and thus they had cooked up the story that after the 3 fainted due to the spell of the python, a teacher came and rescued them.
The result were as Will had written in the novel - Rank 1 bagged by Silver's team. Apparantly all the 3 MCs individually had hunted 3 Pythons , thus taking their team's score to a record high.
Will's team was also in the top 10 because of them hunting the python which had given them a lot of points.
And this was the end of their first visit to the Practice dungeon.
------------------------
------------------------
Will was on his bed thinking about the things that had happened today.
'Well atleast my plan to kill the python worked'
If Will had wanted to, he could have used the arrows from the start to kill the python but then all his efforts to hide his strength would have gone in vain.
Furthermore, he didnt use the Rank F arrow spell from the beginning of the fight as there was also a chance of a teacher coming to their rescue while the trio warriors were fighting the snake.
'But no teacher came... And hence I had to use the spell in the end to protect Nora.'
'It would have been better if I could have hidden my power for a little longer but protecting Nora was important....Afterall I'll die if she would have died. Atleast it's just Nora who knows about my power right now and I dont think she would tell anyone.....'
'Well what happened happened. Cant do anything about it, so it's better to just go to sleep'
Will closed his eyes and went to sleep.

"So... did you find anything odd about him ?" Silver asked while eating his food.
"Well he definitely is interesting" Nora replied.
"Comeon... Such a low ranker and interesting ? I dont think so" Emily said while her whole focus was on the chocolate ice cream that was in front of her.
White who was sitting with Nora didnt say anything, as afterall he was White.
"Well... He is hiding his strength..... He is atleast Rank F-" Nora replied.
There was pindrop silence at the table.
"Rank F- ? Are you sure ?" Silver asked her.
"Yes as he used Rank F Lightning Arrow spell. And I'm saying "atleast". He used 2 arrows at the same time and before that he used normal lightning bolts 12 times in the whole dungeon." This time even White was looking at her in an interested fashion.
"Also, his accuracy was spot on. Though each time a bolt hitted the monster at different places - sometimes its head, sometimes it's stomach etc etc but I'm sure he was doing in purposefully to hide his strength"
"While he used his spell, I always noticed his eyes and whereever his eyes looked on the monster's body , his spell pierced that region only"
"I'd say with his skills, he may become one of the strongest mage in the future"
There was pindop silence at the table.
"Thanks Nora. " Silver stood up and left the table.
White too after listening to this tightened his fist and went away, probably to go train again.
Nora said F- rank as she had seen Will use the F rank spell, but if someone would have told her that he was still G+ rank, her jaw would have dropped, afterall noone could have even imagined that he had The shard of Mellow with him.

Will had finally broken through to F- rank.
Though his speed of increasing his spell proficiency had decreased a bit now as he had to attend his classes. Further as the spell advanced in rank, so did the difficulty in increasing it's proficiency.
"Hmm My stocks have also started yielding good money and as such I dont have to run dungeons regularly anymore for money"
"Sigh, it has been almost a month since the academy started. It's about time no ? For the clubs to start.... Damn in this I made Silver join the hiking club, where he would meet many young masters who would challenge him and then start the chain villain train.....I'll definitely not join that club then...And as for Nora and White... they joined the cooking club.. Why ? Because Nora wanted to join it and since she is the boss in her and White's relationship, He too had to join that club too...."
