Chapter 10: Royal Academy / Stats
After traveling for the whole day, the ship finally arrived in front of the Academy.
All the participants were already awake. They looked at the seven big towers standing proudly between three mountains with awe.
Alec, Carcel, Lara, and Mia were standing in a group because in between the entrance test, they became close. Not just them a lot of participants were standing in groups.
The ship floated above the Academy for a while before landing on a big platform in the middle of the seven towers.
After gaining a signal from the Vice principal everyone left the ship and looked at their surroundings with a gaze filled with wonder and respect.
They were finally inside the prestigious Royal Academy. For them, it was a dream come true!
The Vice principal gestured for everyone to follow him inside a building. The moment they entered the building, they saw a big hall that had a big stage in the center.
A beautiful shiny crystal was floating in the middle of the stage.
The hall was empty with no one sitting in the Audience seats. The Vice Principal went toward the floating crystal and exclaimed proudly,
"All of you would have been thinking what this thing is? This beautiful crystal floating in front of you was invented by an Elf. And because he was one of the Principal friends, he gifted one to us. This crystal is a special privilege only available to Royal Academy students. After touching this crystal you will make a small connection with the planet's original core, and everyone will be able to see the different skills they have and the stats of their body!"
When everyone heard the Vice Principal they were all shocked, leaving the skills aside if they can see the stats of their bodies they will be able to easily find out their weak points.
After a few minutes of heated discussion, the Vice principal explained the Crystal in more detail. He told everyone that the Crystal would count everyone's skills and measure everyone's strength, mana capacity, Rank, and other special body traits before showing everything in Ranks.
And because the Crystal was connected to the planet's origin core, no one except the person touching the Crystal would be able to see their stats. The only thing the Vice Principal would be able to know after seeing the color of the Crystal would be their talent.
The new students were all excited as the teacher standing behind the Vice principal started calling their names one by one.
"Lara Everfrost"
Finally, a familiar name was heard. A lot of students recognize this name as Duke Everfrost's name was very famous. Everyone looked at the orange-haired girl, walking toward the stage in a prideful manner. The moment her name was called everyone went silent.
Lara put her hand on the Crystal and thought about stats.

The Vice principal looked at the Crystal which showed a dark Orange color and nodded with a smile.
"(SS)-Rank talent, Not bad."
All the students looked at Lara with respect, almost 80% of students passing the entrance exam were (S)-Rank or (A)-Rank, so seeing someone with (SS)-Rank talent they could not help but be envious.
Kyle also heard the students whispering among themselves, and even though he was standing very far, he stood on tiptoes to look at Lara.
'She is beautiful.'
Kyle thought Lara was beautiful with orange hair and sharp black eyes. But Kyle only thought of her being beautiful and nothing else.
After Lara, many more students were called so they could make a connection with the Planet's origin core. A few minutes later Carcel's name was called.
"Carcel Von Ainsworth"
The moment his name was called an even bigger commotion broke out. Everyone looked at the handsome golden-haired boy, who gracefully walked toward the stage. Some nobles among the new students knew about Carcel being the Second prince of Kingdom Escalante.
Carcel wasn't bothered by all the attention he was getting, because he was already used to it. He quietly stepped onto the stage and put his hand on the Crystal.

Seeing the Crystal showing red color the Vice Principal exclaimed in a low voice,
"(-SSS)-Rank talent.."
But because everyone's attention was focused on Carcel, they heard the vice principal words clearly and gasped with shock. (-SSS)-Talent was something that appeared only once every three hundred years! Even the Crown Prince was tested with only (SS)-Rank talent.
Nevertheless having (-SSS)-Rank talent and reaching (-SSS)-Rank were two different things. In normal cases it would take more than a hundred years just to reach (SS)-Rank, and in some cases you will die in this dangerous world even before you reach your talent Rank.
After Carcel coincidentally Mia's name was called.
Even though her status as the only daughter of Count Albert was high, but not many knew about Count Albert.
Mia was beautiful, even more beautiful than Lara. With dark blue hair and sea-blue eyes, she looked like a fairy descending from heaven. Almost all the male students looked at her with flushed faces.

Hearing Mia's talent another commotion broke out, seeing (-SSS)-Rank talent was already big news, but there were two students with (SS)-Rank talent! Even the teachers were expressing their shock but underneath their shock was happiness. This year they really overdid it and had found many great talents.
Afterward, a few more students were called to the stage, and then finally Alec's name was called.
"Alec"
The Vice principal looked at Alec with a sizing gaze, he already noticed Alec in the entrance exam. The Vice Principal was sure Alec would have at least (SS)-Rank talent.
Not just the Vice principal, but a lot of ladies also looked at Alec because he was handsome with Dark Blue hair and Black eyes.
Alec stepped onto the stage and put his hand on the Crystal but instead of thinking about stats he thought of 'status'.
