After getting his rank updated and receiving his new class schedule, Milo was pleased, he made it into the X rank class much faster than he thought he would. After receiving his new rank, Milo was approached by Mikael and Mr. Kruz who came from the room they were spectating his test in.
Mikael was the first to speak, "Great job young man, you've grown extremely quickly and I know you have even more room to grow. Keep training diligently and I'm sure all your goals will come to fruition."
Mr. Kruz spoke next, "You've come extremely far in such a short amount of time Milo, as your teacher I couldn't be prouder." He then went into detail about some of the perks that came with being an X ranked student.
Hearing about these perks, Milo got even more excited thanks to these perks, he'd be able to grow even more. After thanking Mr. Kruz and Mikael, he went out to get some rest before going out and celebrating with his friends.
When leaving the evaluation hall, he bumped into a student as he walked out the door, the student was A ranked but even though he was ranked so high, when seeing the glowing X rank on Milo's holo he scurried off without trying to start anything like most high ranked students would. This was something Milo could get used to.
When walking through the main area of the school and making his way back to his dorm, he noticed a few things. One, due to the X rank displayed on his wrist he was getting a lot more stares as he walked around campus. Along with this, the stares of girls were especially different, which made him feel embarrassed as he was always the last person girls looked at. And lastly, people treated him with much more respect, whether it be out of fear or out of actual respect he wouldn't know.
Once he arrived at his dorm he made a stop in the bathroom to look at himself in the mirror, this was simply due to him feeling self conscious following all the stares he was getting from girls. After the system awakened, all his scars, marks and blemishes vanished, leaving his skin clear. The system fixed his vision so he no longer needed to wear glasses, while also sharpening his jawline and cheek bones.Along with this, after doing his daily missions he had gotten himself in shape, now due to his stats also being raised, his body looked like that of an active athlete, his muscle tone and how chiseled his body was, was uncommon for people his age. Due to the changes in his body and his looks, he appeared to be a young model in training or an actor. The only thing out of place was his long messy hair, after a haircut he would garner even more attention. While he himself didn't think much of his appearance, he would have to ask his friends what they thought. Mainly Krista as only she knew of his past appearance.
After resting, Milo sent all his friends a message and asked them to meet at the lounge in the Sim Room. When they all arrived, Milo revealed his holo showing the bright red X signifying his rank. They all went wide eyed before congratulating him, Chris seemed the most excited for him as he clapped him on the back.
After talking about the tests, the group all got up and headed into the city to get ice cream in celebration of Milo's achievement. When they arrived Milo was scouting new abilities to try and plunder, but unfortunately nothing caught his eye. When leaving the school's campus, Milo ran into another student which resulted in the other student falling down. When looking down a bright red X was also showing on his holo. The student quickly stood up, apologized and hurried back to campus.
"What was that all about?" Chris asked, out of shock.
"I'm not sure, but he seemed kind of timid for an X rank," Milo responded
"Wait, he was X rank?!" Milo's friends exclaimed in unison.
"Seemed like it," Milo responded, "considering the X that was showing on his holo. I guess I'll know for sure if I see him in class."
The group was still surprised as they were sure most X ranked students would flaunt their ranks and be jerks but he seemed surprisingly timid.
After going out and getting ice cream. The group returned to campus, before going back to their respective dorms and settling in for the night, they had class tomorrow and Milo didn't want to give a bad impression on his first day in the X ranked class.
