A single 'Poor' evaluation shattered Julian's possibility of going to a top-tier higher academy.
Now added with being expelled, don't even mention top-tier academies, even higher academies ranked within the top hundred wouldn't want him.
Even if his family had connections, even if it was the Dynasty Guild, they couldn't contend against the higher academies.
Julian's future was conceivable.
The best outcome would be to go to an ordinary higher academy.
The rankings were announced one by one.
Aside from Morintis and Sophia, Westsea City First High School's overall results were still acceptable.
Leo was located at rank 61, considered medium.
The others were slightly worse, but they could still test into an academy.
After the results were announced, the examiner's voice sounded again.
"Combat-type professions, this year's Jiangning Province Provincial Top Scorer is Morintis."
The examiner solemnly announced Morintis becoming this exam's Provincial Top Scorer, again causing an uproar.
Then came thunderous applause.
Everyone was congratulating Morintis.
Being able to become a Provincial Top Scorer was exceptionally difficult.
Moreover, Morintis's points had seized first place with a crushing advantage.
The points of the other four people who entered the Expedition Space together, added up, weren't as much as his alone.
The advantage was too obvious.
Amid the applause, the examiner's voice sounded again.
"The Empire has issued a command: Morintis becomes this year's exam National Top Scorer."
Whoosh!
Victor Stone jumped up again, a burst of flame shooting from his head.
He was too excited, so excited that flames sprouted from his head.
"National...
National Top Scorer."
"Morintis is the National Top Scorer..."
"Really fake?
I couldn't have heard wrong, right?"
For a moment, he couldn't even speak clearly.
Victor Stone simply didn't believe his own ears.
"Old Victor, are you okay?"
"Don't be too excited, take care of your body."
"Really, Morintis really is the National Top Scorer."
"You didn't hear wrong.
This time, you can boast for a lifetime."
"Your First High can also change its name to Top Scorer High.
To actually produce a National Top Scorer, you really picked up a treasure."
They were both envious and jealous.
The flames on Victor's head took a long time to extinguish, just like his mood, excited and surging.
Outside the Trials Tower, the applause was like exploding thunder.
"National Top Scorer!
Our Jiangning Province has produced a National Top Scorer!"
"Heavens, how many years has it been since Jiangning Province produced a National Top Scorer?"
"Morintis is too amazing, to actually be able to become the National Top Scorer."
Morintis was still calm and composed.
Upon getting the Provincial Top Scorer, he had already realized that the National Top Scorer might also fall on his head.
Sure enough.
Sophia said in surprise, "You've become the National Top Scorer, aren't you happy?"
"Happy."
Morintis said lightly.
Sophia pursed her lips, "If happy, you should know how to smile a bit."
Morintis was still calm, "I smiled.
In my heart."
"Blockhead is just a blockhead."
Sophia snorted, "But still, congratulations to you, Top Scorer Morintis."
Zoe and Finn came together.
"Morintis, congratulations."
Zoe's figure was slightly small, her voice somewhat clear and cold.
The temperament she revealed very much matched her profession.
Finn extended his hand, "This time, thank you.
If it weren't for you, our trouble would have been big."
Zoe also followed with thanks.
Morintis shook hands with him, "It's what should be done."
Finn asked, "You should be testing for Xiajing Academy, right?"
Morintis nodded.
"Good, then we'll see each other at Xiajing Academy.
When the time comes, I'll treat you to a meal."
"Mm."
Morintis responded lightly.
Morintis was too cold, even colder than Zoe, the atmosphere instantly becoming awkward.
Sophia quickly smiled and said, "This guy doesn't like to talk.
I've been classmates with him for three years, the words added up haven't exceeded 10 sentences."
Morintis shook his head, "16 sentences."
Pfft.
.
.
Both Finn and Zoe couldn't help laughing out loud.
Morintis this guy, aside from not liking to talk, seemed quite interesting.
The major exam ended, teleported back to the school.
Victor Stone did not return with them.
The support-type profession exam was still continuing, he still needed to accompany them.
Morintis returned home, rested properly.
Tomorrow, he could proceed with signing up.
His target was Xiajing Academy.
As the National Top Scorer, he必然 could enter.
If even he couldn't enter, then others even more shouldn't think about it.
Silently summoned 4 Skeleton Warriors, then stored them into the summoning space.
The Skeleton Warriors in the summoning space had already reached 104.
Previously in the Expedition Space, during the battle with the Felinid Beastman warriors, the Skeleton Warriors had varying degrees of injury.
Inside the summoning space, their injuries rapidly recovered.
Knock knock knock.
The knocking sound pulled Morintis back from his meditative state.
The flames on Victor Stone's head had finally extinguished.
But the excited expression on his face hadn't faded yet.
This old man already over 60 years old, had never had a day as excited as today.
"Why have you come over?"
It was already deep night.
The night was deep and people quiet, Victor Stone suddenly coming over, definitely had matters.
The one coming wasn't only Victor Stone, there was also a person Morintis didn't recognize.
Morintis saw this person, his entire body's hairs stood on end.
The visitor carried a terrifying aura, making his breathing somewhat difficult.
It seemed the next second, he would suffocate.
Morintis did not wait for death, Skeleton Warriors instantly appeared in front, protecting himself.
"Very good reaction."
Couldn't see clearly the other's appearance, but Morintis recognized the other's voice.
His tightly strung spirit immediately relaxed.
Morintis respectfully bowed to the visitor, "I have seen Lord White God."
Byron put away his aura, revealed his form from the darkness, "How did you know it was me."
Morintis also put away his Skeleton Warriors, "I recognize your voice."
"Heh."
Byron laughed, very satisfied with Morintis's answer.
In the Expedition Space replay, he had seen Morintis.
Now facing him, Byron was even more satisfied with him.
Morintis was calm, composed.
The instinctive reactions made, all made him give full marks.
"Very good very good."
"I came this time, wanting to discuss Xiajing Academy matters with you."
