Arcana Mob

" Cade North?"

As soon as the examinees went out of the examination hall, they would be greeted with a huge screen that displayed the top 100 names of the people who took the theoretical test.

"Cade North, supposed to be waste from the Luminous High School. Both his theoretical aspect and Arcane Card is at the bottom of his piers and should not have joined the university entrance exam. It\'s just…. "

" It\'s just what?"

Outside the examination hall, Luna was currently discussing Cade with her closest attendant.

It was true that she came here because she didn\'t want to use the connection of her family. But Luna, who had always been a genius since childhood, couldn\'t accept the fact that an unknown guy suddenly came out of nowhere and beat her in the theoretical exam.

" It\'s just…" The attendant seemed to have a hard time trying to arrange the most suitable words. Still, she, in the end decided to tell Luna what she had heard from his observation.

" It\'s just that some rumor said that he recently had changed. A few weeks ago, a disappearance case came and shocked the luminous city, and Cade North was one of the victims of that case. It\'s just that he was the sole survivor of the disappearance case, and it seems that he had changed since then."

Listening to the attendant\'s explanation, Luna\'s face turned from shock to frown before in the end smiling excitedly.

" Hmmm… pretty interesting… Cade North, huh.. I\'ll remember this name."

On the examiner\'s side, the initial shock because of the perfect score had slowly died down.

It was none other than because they have gotten in touch with Cade\'s personal detail, and they assessed him to be unworthy to put any attention on,

Except for one.

" So… you say that we should recruit this guy?"

In the examiner\'s room, the red-haired devilish woman was looking at Isabel with a frown.

In the eyes of the red-haired devilish woman, Isabel was like a meek hamster.

But for some reason, she was pretty stubborn this time.

Even some glare from her was not enough to discourage Isabel.

" Yes… my Arcane Card gave me the feeling that this Cade North is something special."

Isabel meekly said. However, her stubbornness was evident here that even the devilish woman could only shake her head helplessly.

" Are you sure about this?"

" Yes! This is my Arcane Card that we are talking about!"

"...."

Since Isabel had become like this, it seems that they really don\'t have any other choice.

" *Sigh* Then, let\'s trust your Arcane Card this one time. But remember, I won\'t tolerate anything like this anymore."

" Sure ^_^!"

Replied Isabel with glows in her eyes, which made the devilish woman sigh once more.

While the others were busy discussing his sudden emergence. In the eye of the storm, Cade actually had a headache right now.

The reason was pretty apparent.

He just wanted to be a top 100 guy, but why the fuck did Grigory go overboard and place him in the top 1 with a perfect score?

" Hahahahah, there\'s no use crying over spilled milk, isn\'t it?"

From his pendant, Grigory\'s voice resounded through Cade\'s mind.

The eery voice of Grigory now became really annoying to Cade, and if he could, he really wanted to smack some sense into him.

\' You know that it is bad to gather attention, right?"

Cade asked which a frown. For him, the best course of action was to stay low and silently enter the university that the main protagonist would go into, but now it seems that kind of hope would not be possible for him.

" Hahahaha, don\'t get too big-headed, kid! You just finished your first session. There are still other sessions before you enter the top university. And nevertheless, if your other result was bad, this theoretical test would be rendered useless."

Cade was silenced as he heard Grigory\'s response. Indeed, there\'s no use for crying over spilled milk.

Rather than agonizing over the test result, it would be better if he prepared for the next test.

Still, the higher you climb, the stronger the wind that would befall you.

Looking at the excited expression on Cade\'s face after finishing the theoretical test, some acquaintances from Luminous highschool felt dissatisfied.

They had tried their best, but why must it be this bastard that took the top spot?

"That useless boy." One of the Luminous high school students finally voiced out. "Without a doubt, his other results are so bad. It seems that he is trying to attract attention by doing this. Doesn\'t he know that it is all useless in the end?"

Another student also came and went along with him.

"Too bad! No matter how strong, it\'s still only a theoretical foundation." the student disdainfully said before being followed by the laughter from the other students.

But no matter what they said, Cade had decided to ignore them.

Let the dog bark. Anyway, he was different from them. His goal was the five great universities, and he definitely wouldn\'t go anywhere trying to fight everyone who mocked him.

Next to them, Cade just stood motionlessly. In his mind, he was doing his best to imagine the best and worst scenario for the following tests for him.

"What is the next exam?" Grigory\'s voice came at Cade.

Cade replied, "Strength test."

" Strength test, huh? Not the most optimal for you. How\'s your preparation?"

" Not bad, top ten is impossible, but I should barely be able to reach the top 100. But there\'s a problem. It seems that I have attracted the attention of a certain someone."

Cade didn\'t move, but his eyes clearly pointed at a specific person that was watching him far from the corner.

" Luna Forewater? Hahahahaha, it is getting interesting. Kid, I have high hopes for you!"

And just like that, the curtain of the theoretical test was closed, and next would be Strength test.
