"Hey commoner!"
May looked around her then she saw Ains walking towards her with a frustrated face.
"Uhm, may I help you?"
"You!!"
His voice slowly rose.
"How dare you rank higher than me! No! How dare you even get into the top 10 me being in the same class with commoners almost made me puke when I just thought about it!!"
And then Ains put his hand dup in the air and opened his hands and when he was about to hit her Ray caught his hand.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing?"
Ains was baffled at what Ray just did.
"Ray Grandfell, you're a nnoble as well why are you defending this lowly commoner?!"
Ray loked at him with disgusted and annoyed eyes.
"Say, what are you? A human or a demon?"
Ains was confused at Ray's question.
"What? Of course I'm a human."
"Then what Is she?" Ray pointed at May behind him.
"A human? Do you think I'm stupid?!"
Ains clenched his fists as he felt like he was being mocked by Ray.
"Then what's the difference between the two of you?"
"Nothi-No! So what if we're both humans?! She's just a mere commoner! We nobles have the power and they're supposed to be used by us!"
"Is that how you see the world?"
Ray was barely holding in his anger at this rate.
"Yes! We nobles are supposed to be at the top while these bastards are supposed to be below us, being used by us!"
Then Ray couldn't stop himself anymore and he punched Ains in the face and put just enough strength and put Aura in his right fist as well and controlled it just enough so Ains would only pass out.
And when everyone around them saw this including the spectators who were leaving the arena.
And then someone approached Ray.
A blonde man and having brown eyes exactly the same as Ains.
'Is this his father.'
And as the man got closer and closer towards Ray he said.
"Thank you, Grandfell kid."
And when he passed by Ray he carried the unconscious Ains behind Ray and walked out nonchalantly.
"What was that?" Ray felt a powerful aura as Ains father walked passed him.
'It was powerful but it was not as powerful as my father or my grandfather, it was just the most powerful aura I've felt on someone when I left.'
And when Ains father left the air around the entire arena was more relaxing.
"Did just his presence affect the entire arena that much?!"
And as Ray was contemplating what just happened Lance called out to him.
"Master Ray!!!"
"Lance?"
Lance ran towards Ray and congratulated him.
"I saw the rankings from afar! Congratulations Master Ray."
"Why did you congratulate me? Wasn't it obvious that I would get first?"
"Your arrogance sometimes amazes me."
And when Lance finished talking to Ray they also got out of the arena.
"Since the next exam would a few days from now I guess I'll just go to the dorms."
"And Lance you can actually only be allowed to spectate the physical exams since the mental exam is just so the academy can get data on which subject we need help in most."
And when Lance heard this his face turned expressionless.
'That was just a lie but I need Lance to go back to the manor so they have more manpower and so I can be more free in the academy.'
"All diamond class students follow me!!" Ray heard someone shout this as he was walking around the campus.
And five of the top 10 students were also their including Bell Grandise.
'The way to the diamond class? And he's wearing a student's uniform.'
Not only that he was also wearing a diamond dragon badge which made Ray approach him.
"Hi, is everyone here waiting for the others?" Ray asked.
The student looked at Ray.
"Oh if it isn't the famous Ray Grandfell, yes we are waiting for four more students and I'll be leading you to the diamond class's dorms.'
Then ra
stayed with them as well waiting for the other s to arrive.
--------
And not even 10 minutes later all of them were already there.
And unsurprisingly Ains arrived last.
And when Ains arrived and saw Ray he was frightened at what he did to him and never even got close to May after that day.
"So as everyone is already here follow me cause you may get lost."
And as they walked in the direction of a nearby dense forest that seemed like it wasn't even part of the academy some of them had doubts if they were even heading to the right place.
"Uh, a-are you sure that we're going in the right direction?" Silvia asked.
"Oh don't worry we're going in the right direction it's just that the diamond class's dorms are hidden so no other classes can enter."
And they kept walking in the same seemingly neverending forest.
----------------------
And finally after quite some time walking in an unknown direction they reached a 3 story grandiose mansion having elegant designs.
'Is this is dorm?' Ray thought.
"So guys this is the dorms of the first years diamond class."
And then they entered the mansion and while others were fascinated and amazed that they were going to live in this spectacular structure some were expecting it.
And ad they stared at the interior of the spectacular mansion it was filled with priceless appliances, walls for both Lucas and May this was a dream come true but to the others this was as normal as they could've expected it.
"We're really going to stay here for a whole year!!?" A black haired boy asked among the group.
"Oh are you Lucas?" Ray asked
Ray was fascinated with Lucas as he used his heavenly eye before to check his potential and current stats which shocked him.
Name: Lucas Volnstine
Age: 16
Rank: D
Blessings: Genius scholar, Genius mage, Machine Prodigy
"This guy was a noble, but why would he hide it? And a machine prodigy??"
Ray had many questions as to what Lucas was capable of which lead him to be fascinated by Lucas.
"Oh, h-hi, yes I'm Lucas." He stuttered as Ray startled him
"Wanna be friends with me?"
When Lucas heard this he was baffled at what Ray asked him, to the point that he thought that Ray was playing with him.
"W-what do you mean?"
"Do you want to be friends-"
"So everyone, upstairs on the left are the boy's rooms and on the right are the girls."
The student cut off what Ray was about to say.
Meanwhile May was extremely glad since she and Bell were the only one occupying the girl's.
"Yes!! I can finally have my own room!" She accidentally shouted and was embarrassed at what she just said.
"So as to what I was saying would you like to be my friend?" Ray asked Lucas again.
"I-i guess so?" Lucas wasn't sure as to what was happening now.
"So I guess that's all so on the 2nd floor are the rooms the first floor is where everything else is and the 3rd floor is are where the training rooms are."
"So I have to go now I'm very busy." The student then left all ten of them in the mansion.
"Uh what about our classes and lectures?"
"Well there's a board there and it shows the classes and lectures that we can attend."
And the group then walked over to a board with the classes and lectures on it.
"The headmaster is going to personally test us!?" "And the top 3 students are going to get an exclusive test?" "Frey Vadgen? I heard he's one of the top Prfoessors in this school." "And Dolgar Fierstron as well and his part of the Fierstron family which is famous for their genius battlemages." "Beast taming?" Ray asked. Ray was interested in Beast taming and so was one other student. "Oh Beast taming? I'd like to try that out." Bell Grandise who was beside Ray said. That day currently was on the 25th day on the 4th month and on our calendar that would be on April 25. And in this world there was only 10 months and each having exactly 28 days. "So we can worry about these lectures later let's first unpack our luggage." Ray said. And when all them had opened their magic "Dimensional Storage" a spell that allows the user to have their own portable storage space that they can put their items in and if it's large enough sometimes even themselves. This magic is commonly acquired after the mage has become an advanced mage. "Uh guys why did you already open your dimension storage now? Shouldn't you unpack your things in your room?" "We know, we're just checking." And as everyone went upstairs and picked which room they were going to take. "Eh all the rooms are the probably the same anyway." And when the boy's went upstairs and walked through the hallway the doors to their rooms were assigned to them according to their rankings and same to the girls. "Oh this must be my room then." Ray said as he entered the room for the first ranked student. TO BE CONTINUED
