Chapter 15: Ranking
***VIP AREA***
The aura present here would make even people at the peak Paragon realm drop to their knees if they entered here by mistake.
The room was extremely large and filled up with powerhouse from different race, they were all here to watch their junior and children perform, each of them held their child in the highest pride, but at this moment everyone was dead silent, they all stared at the direction of a particular human with white hair, who the cause of the silence was linked to.
This generation was called the 'The golden generation' because of various reasons
Various power houses gave birth easily if they tried, which was weird, so many power houses had children, that's why the VIP AREA was filled up, cause these power houses came to observe their child perform.
They normally don't come to these things, but their presence here meant they all at least had a child.
This generation was called 'The golden generation' cause each child was more powerful than the the previous generations, so everyone was expectant to see their child perform.
The human they were looking at didn't even bother to look at them but was focused on his son as nothing else mattered at the moment.
The human was none other than, Null Michael, the 'Sword Saint', his name alone spoke of his power, even people in the room with him had to be careful when speaking with him as they all know the beast that currently sat without a care.
They all watched him grow from when he was little and knew his feats and records, which was simply too insane for a human, but no one said anything as his father, Null Collins who was named the 'The lightning God' was another monster who didn't perform less than his son Michael, but now these two monsters has released another who just defeafed an awakened Orc at the S+ rank while being at the A+rank without even as much as an injury.
This spoke immensely on this white haired family, the other power houses in the room looked at each other with different light flashing past their eyes.
The patriach of the of the stellar family spoke first, "It seems the Null family has given birth to another monster"
Michael who was sitting without a care, looked at him and said
"Of course, whose son do you think he is"
But what he didn't say was that he too was shocked, he knows how much of a monster he and his father Collins are, he wants his son to match and surpass them, but he didn't put pressure on him, that's why he left him to train alone and never asked, and told his son that top 20 was acceptable.
He wanted to stand up and cheer but, he can't do that, he has to maintain the demeanor of the 'Sword Saint', he wanted to hug his son for being rank one, but he knew it was far from over, the next event decides it all.
***** In a different place*****
Millions of people appeared out of nowhere, the vice president appeared and said
"The second round is over, the result would be out in 5 minutes, those who are top one thousand are all accepted as students" she said while still floating without a skill or trace of mana as if the world itself begged to suspend her in place.
A while later the vice president disappeared, athough people who reach the SSS rank and above can automatically fly, that still requires mana, some didn't need to reach the rank, as they could already fly with a skill.
But Anthony could sense the mana she used to stay afloat, the students didn't sense it cause they were too weak and had less mana control, the reason she could fly as if she does it without mana was because of her mana control, her mana control was too absurd, but Anthony could see it with his bare eyes, he could even sense and see it without the his eyes cause he has a better mana control.
It's was already 6PM and getting dark but everywhere was still as bright as day, so without a watch, people would hardly guess the time here.
Five minute later a huge screen appeared over the head of all of them, they raised their heads looking for their names.
Anthony didn't bother looking anywhere else and looked at Rank 1 directly, and saw his name, then he went down the list

(The school doesn't release scores, they only release score for classes when they become students in the Academy)
He only looked at the top 20 cause they will be in the same class as the elites, but he was surprised that 5 other humans made it to top 20, and they were all from the top families.
He sighed, 'It looks like I will need to remember their hair colour like I promised' he thought, then pulled out the chair again from his space ring and sat down with his leg crossed and eyes closed, the passive skill of emperor demeanor still taking effect so his every move was with grace.
The other children from the five top families in the human domain all looked at him, remembering the rumour about him and they doubted their lives, 'Then why didn't he come out at all' they all thought. But no one would give an answer to their questions
All races were shocked by the appearance of six humans on the ranking and a particular human taking the top spot, they all looked around at all human, trying to find out who it was.
Terpes Tiara on the other hand, frowned seeing her Second position which didn't change even after adding the written exam score which she was confident in.
Then she looked at a particular human boy who sat on a throne with his eyes closed and legs crossed, remembering seeing the human before the written test, she assessed him while she assessed everyone in the room to know who her opponents were.
She didn't spend more than three seconds looking at him before, because she sensed his F-ranked mana, the three seconds was spent by looking at his face wondering how a human could be more handsome than Dragons, Pheonix, Fairy, Vampires and Elves.
His mana rank still showed F- rank but she refused to believe it, as he was the most relaxed here.
She made a guess that he was the one who stole her rank, and she would have to get it back from him at all cost, she was also shocked that five other humans actually entered the top 20.
'What is up with the humans this time around?, is it because it's a golden generation of all races, even if it's a golden generation, the races with bloodline would still be on the top of the talent list, is it because of their class?' she thought of multiple scenarios
'Maybe I'm overthinking things, it's not like it has anything to do with me, I only have to get my first rank back' she said, casting one more glance at the white hair human boy.
Then she started meditating waiting for the final round.
