"Why is it hidden in the first place, I've wasted hours searching the internet" Adam said clearly annoyed with the fact.
"because of demons" alexander said
"Demons?"
"Yes demons, long story short we don't want our knowledge to be published which can put common people at risk"
"Ok I understand but how am I going to access this site"
"Normally people with hero certificate can access this site, there are some special cases but for us you could use your academy ID access the website
On there you can get everything from pin grenade to nuclear sword crafted by masters.
There are some people who stream on it so you can watch their videos"
Hearing all this Adam was pleasantly suspired and curious about this Arcane Avenue.
Adam returned to his new room not minding his new roommate that were staying together with him.
After he changed into the new room which was more like a house which had two bed one hall and no kitchen.
Adam had one new roommate but because he was mac's follower, he did not put any effort to befriend him.
So, after enter the room he closed his door and started search about Arcane family and Arcane Avenue.
where he saw a brief description about this family and its past.
"When the first break hit the world 500 years ago the world was in chaos but the appearance the awaken or heroes the world came to a standstill against the deadly monsters but human never held the upper hand so the world fell into chaos and they search for people how awakened combat related power and recruiting them into the frontline.
But from nowhere came a person who used his sharp mind created an enormous business empire that stood tall and was believed by many who fought on the frontline.
At same time they looked down on this man for staying in the back not fighting in frontline and he did not mind and continued on with work as he slow incorporated a new form of currency into world the "Celestium coins" created from the cores of monsters that are killed in the frontline which he made, making it a international currency.
but on a tragic day the frontline was broken the world felt into chaos as monsters rampaged in the rear killing everyone in their site.
When this monster reached the dawn city where the core of young man's business situated.
Whole world pitied him as the empire he created was going to be destroyed But the world was in for a surprise as the monsters tide hit the walls of the city.
A golden dome formed over it covering the entire city as that young man was flying on top of the dome, seeing which shocked the whole world.
but It did not end there as the young man did an action of pulling a string of a bow.
A golden construct of a bow formed on his hand and when his hand let go of the string a massive attack that early obliterated the whole monster tide.
When the dust cleared their stood the founder of Arcane family, Edmund Arcane
With his unique ability to convert Celestium coins into magical power that can be used to create massive offensive power or impenetrable shield or both at the same time.
Using his brain, he made the Celestium coins that fueled his power as the currency of the world making himself "A man whose wealth became his power".
In 500 years, his future generation who inherited his power stood tall on the world of business as the No.1."
After seeing the long-standing history of this family. Adam login into the Arcane Avenue using his academy id.
Entering it he saw a generic site that resemble websites like amazon, showing all kind of ads and promotion and if nots.
But Adam did not get distracted and navigated himself through the website to the streaming page, opened the video with the most attractive thumbnail.
after which he started to run through one video after other as the night passed.
THE NEXT DAY.
Waking up with dark circle around his eyes Adam was drained after watching videos for whole night without rest.
Taking his beat-up body, he went to his class but with a newfound clarity about monsters and battle techniques used to fight them, Which was far different and better then the skill showed by the student.
As the class finishing, Michelle announced the dates for the exams.
"Students, study hard and try to get the highest mark possible in the theorical examination because the practical examination will harder then you think, Okay then all the best.
Class dismissed."
After which she walked out of the classroom.
Seeing that exam time table filled the whole week with 3 papers each day covering one main and 2 supplementer papers.
With only two days left to study Adam was having headache just thinking about it.
After the class was emptied Adam who had no evening combat classes went to the library to study.
Adam had 5 subject which were farther divide into two supplementer subject that had the main subject as the core.
First came Monster autonomy divide into two, high-class humanoid monster and monster weakness.
Then Hero education divides into two, heroes' ethics and moral standing of hero.
Then Human history divides into two, earth human history and catastrophic era.
Then Mana the study of unnatural divide into two, Mana theory and Mana application
Then the last but not the least nature survival divide into two, nature theory and plants understanding.
Adam started from the corner and worked his way to the center as he learned something or tried too.
other student followed suit slowly as days went on almost filling the library with students.
#day of exam
Adam entered his exam hall with little to no confidence because of how different the subject were from his old world and this new world, making his years worth of knowledge on computer programming, mathematics, AI and machine learning unless in this new world.
Here the subject he were taught was fit only for surviving in this dangerous world which Adam did not mind that much because having knowledge was better than not having any knowledge.
Sitting on his spot Adam prayed to every god he knew, knowing that he would fail this sem exam with flying colors.
As Adam was praying for his paper, many students started to enter the room slowly filling the room and when the class was almost full the invigilator enter the room silently and distributed the papers and when the clock hit the 10 sharp he closed the door to room and failing everyone that was not present in the class at that moment.
Looking through the paper Adam felt surreal and started writing with confidence and excitement.
After 20 minutes Adam handed over his paper the invigilator and walked off.
Students, sneered watching Adam exit the exam hall with confident smile.
"Poor man, he quit before he even started"
"..."
"....."
some exclaimed, where as some seeing him as motivation walked out the door after 15 minutes more.
like that Adam, Attended all his exam like this exiting after just 20 minutes making a name for himself in the academy.
"The Proud Loser"
when the exams ended the weekend started this nickname started to spread around the whole academy, even Adam's friend or his supposit group of rival/friends heard this making the concern about him.
but the main culprit, Adam was unknow about everything and was training his ass-off a training area.

==============
looking at his stats, a smile bloomed on his face.
even though his mana did not increase like it last time it was still a improvement and the increase in his basic stats was also good, which was more than enough for Adam.
"my stats are nearing triple digits" Adam said with a smile to himself and looking at the clock, only see that it was already time for class.
So, Adam ran off wearing his uniforms. In a short time he reached the class in little to no time.
but entering his class Adam was in for a surprise as he saw Julia, Lois, Lily, Alexander and even Vikram, who all was standing around his table as they were discussing something seriously but seeing him walking in they all looked at him.
Adam felt like he had entered tiger's den but he could not escape so he walked toward them.
"Good Morning, Guys" he said as he walked towards them.
Seeing him coming toward him, Vikram slowly moved back without saying a word.
"Adam, Are you fine?" Lily asked him with concerned voice.
hearing this Adam was slightly curious about why he was concern about him.
"Yeah, I am fine, what happened?" he asked.
Hearing his unconcerned voice Julia asked.
"Adam, are you really not concerned about this whole situation"
"Yes, why should I, it not like it not true, I did exit the class around 20 minutes after the exams started. But the part that makes me slightly heated is the part where they call me a loser, I would really like to meet this person who called me that personally, really personally." Adam said, cracking his knuckles.
Hearing this everyone present, really felt that Adam had something wrong with his brain because Adam was concerned about the wrong thing entirely, not focusing on the main issue that his results in the exams.
Wanting to discuss the situation Lois and Julia ready to explain but a student walked into the classroom, seeing him they stopped midway not wanting to embarrass Adam.
So, except Alexander everyone else went back to their seat and sat down.
"Lucky bastard, why is he always surround with beauties and toppers" seeing Adam surround with class toppers the student was jealous but he cannot anything about that so he sat down in his table.
Slowly class started to fill up with student and when the class was almost filled, Michelle walked in a black suit that made her look serious and stand out.
Adam admired the view, which Michelle totally acknowledged but did not mind that much so she started the roll call and when the roll call ended, she said.
"Now I will be calling out the student that have failed the theory papers because these students will have extra class starting today after school hour, and also be under strict disciple training."
As she picked up the tab and called out names.
"Ava Peterson Marks 47.9%
Mia Watson, Marks 38.4%
Mason Bell - 29.7%
Liam Anderson - 37.8%
…
…
…
…
…
…"
Hearing almost every once name except his and the top-rank students in the class, Adam was greatly surprised and shocked. Understanding why his friend were concerned about him.
Because the passing mark was 50% for all the paper which was a really concerning number that cannot be easily obtained with this exam time arrangement where one needed write the paper morning and the afternoon session, only getting time for to study for next exam, yesterday night or very morning of the exam day not leaving any time for them to know anything about the afternoon exam forcing them to sacrifices the afternoon paper, making their marks plummet down.
When Adam was in shock, the other students were questioning reality itself not because they failed their paper but because they did not hear the name of the so-called proud loser's name.
"Miss Michelle, did you miss any one's name?" a student asked out of the curiosity and wanting hear the name of the one they thought will fail miserably.
Hearing this Michelle rechecked her tab but unfortunately for them, they did not hear the answer the so wished to hear.
"NO! I did not miss anyone"
Hearing this every student that failed had a mental breakdown because if that person was not in the list of the ones the failed then it means that he is in once that passed and seeing someone they looked down on, now standing above them was great hit to their pride and arrogance.
Michelle not minding the students that was having a mental breakdown continued.
"Now I will call of the name of the student that passed the exam for lowest to the highest scorer
Lily Aurora, Mark 60.5%
Alexander Knight, Mark 73.22%
Julia Roseway, Mark 79.92%
Vikram Siva, Mark 81.22%
Lois Alan 90.01%
And Adam Sunray, Mark 100%"
