"Huu."
Standing in front of the classroom, I took in a deep breath.
Today was Friday. Cadets who had gone home or on vacations had all returned by now, and Cube was back to normal after all the chaos. Cube was continuing its normal routine.
I opened the classroom door, holding in my nervousness. Immediately, several meaningful gazes fell on me.
For now, I sat down on my usual seat. I could hear everyone whispering about my bet with Chae Nayun.
I tried my best to ignore them as I opened my textbook. I was at least happy that blatant bullying stopped after I beat up Kim Horak.
"Guys, grades are out for the written exams."
At that moment, Yi Yeonghan appeared, carrying large scrolls in his arms. He put them up on the wall one by one. The results for each theory class were listed along with a ranking of the combined results.
Everyone stared at the scrolls while groaning.
Not long afterward, everyone turned towards me.
===
Rank 1. Kim Hajin
Rank 2. Rachel

My name was on top of every exam and the overall rankings.
Not just in Veritas class, but in the entire academy.
"Kuhum."
Feeling awkward, I let out a dry cough as I stole a glance at Rachel. She was sitting behind me with her face buried on her desk. I could faintly hear her sigh and murmur in English, 'I should have worked harder.'
"Also, I hope everyone knows that we have new classes."
Yi Yeonghan added.
"Look at the first year announcements if you haven't. Starting from today, Fridays will have two classes."
For first-year cadets, classes changed after their first semester midterms. It was Cube's way of giving cadets a diverse selection of classes.
In addition, magicians would join in from the second semester and cadets would be able to choose the classes they wanted to take. In reality, they were taking classes that fit their roles.
I turned on my smartwatch.
The new class today was [Practical Magic and Intermediate Rank Magic Power Control]
Drrrrk—
The door opened and the Phenomenon Realm Analysis professor walked in.
The noisy classroom instantly fell silent.
"Take your seats."
The Phenomenon Realm Analysis professor peeked at the scrolls on the wall and grinned.
"I'm sure you've all seen the exam results."
The cadets groaned slightly.
"Now, now, your tests were easier than the ones I give to college students. Also, Kim Hajin cadet."
Suddenly, the professor pointed at me. Others also followed his finger and turned towards me.
"An unconventional outlook and logical judgment, I could see true 'wisdom' from your answers. Frankly, I can't believe you're only 16. You're good enough to be writing thesis papers for graduation."
