The Academy's Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter

Chapter 41: End-of-Semester Evaluation (5)

༺ End-of-Semester Evaluation (5) ༻

The two daughters of the Astrean family took different paths.

The eldest daughter followed in her father's footsteps – the Sword Saint, Gerald Astrean – and became a knight.

On the other hand, the second daughter admired her mother – a genius wizard, Historia Astrean – and chose the path of a wizard.

However, even though their paths diverged, Gerald Astrean's ironclad rule remained the same.

'Be the best wherever you are'. It would be strange if they weren't the best, he reasoned. They had both inherited the talents of a swordsman and a wizard.

As a result, the sisters were admitted into Märchen Academy, the most prestigious academy on the continent.

The eldest daughter had firmly held her top position in the Knight Department, and she had even passed the Imperial Knights entrance exam.

The second daughter entered the Magic Department as the second seat of the first-years.

She wasn't the top seat. She wasn't the best.

But she knew she had the talent, so she nodded her head and said, 'I'll just have to work hard,' and devoted herself to magic training and study. She believed that the fruits of her blood, sweat, and tears would surely make her the top seat.

And so, she tried hard.

But no matter how hard she tried, the gap with the top seat showed no signs of being closed.

In a flower garden full of blue roses, Luce and Kaya stared at the scoreboard for a while.

It was a situation where the existence they both cherished had overtaken the top students and achieved first place.

Kaya's eyes lit up as she exclaimed, 'As expected of Sir Isaac!' while Luce's mouth dropped open.

Isaac, he got 5 Fell Cards and took first place at once.

Ciel Carnedas, she dropped to second place after she had lost 5 Fell Cards.

That didn't mean she was eliminated, however. If she had been eliminated, her name would have disappeared from the leaderboard.

The implications were clear. Isaac and Ciel Cardenas had worked together.

Luce judged with a smile that was as faint as the moonlight in the middle of the night. She whispered softly, "Isaac, you had a plan."

The two lowered their heads with a sense of satisfaction.

But they had to return to reality. They had to fight the enemy in front of them.

"Whew."

Thanks to Isaac, Kaya's spirit was lifted. She took a deep breath to calm herself down, and coldly glared at Luce.

From now on, Kaya decided to only think about herself.

Although she was momentarily excited about Isaac's situation, she couldn't get too worked up in front of such a formidable foe, as it would only exacerbate the difficulty of the fight.

She calmly adjusted her posture to an appropriate level.

"Luce Eltania, I've always wanted to fight you someday."

2nd place. Ever since she came to Märchen Academy, Kaya had never left her position as the second seat.

She wanted to catch up with the top seat. The gap between them ate away at Kaya's self-esteem like a rat in a cupboard, which only served to fuel her inferiority complex.
