LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 89: Graduation
The graduation exams started with the attribute check done through touching the same crystal ball that was used in the enrollment day. Yunan took his turn first, he scored 13 points over all four attributes. Since luck was not recognized as an attribute when the crystal ball was made it did not detect the luck value that Yunan had.
The rest of the kids all scored 12 points across-the-board. The slight difference would be either thanks to the point blank proximity to the spirit heart or just luck or maybe both,no one knows. Instructor Mark remembered seeing Yunan at the enrollment day since he was the ultra rare perfect all rounder, but the appearance of 3 others as well as their ages struck him hard enough his jaw almost unhinged itself to drop lower.
As for Leol's teacher, he was feeling like he just lost a gem because he did not pay any attention to the boy, even allowing such a seed to be brought up by another. As for director Joey, he just chalked it up to how weird Debauchery is and was adamant on not thinking about how it took only one month for the latest recruit Debauchery got their claws on to go from a wisdom primary to an all rounder, something like that should be written in all training manuals.
The second part of the exam was to fight a peak level 2 teacher in a one on one fight, for evaluation, then if there was a party they can challenge the teachers to gain better benefits for their party from the guild. As for those who were good at wisdom they would have a chat with a teacher about the subject they are most familiar with. Well as to be expected, the level 2 teachers did not last much against the well trained Yunan and friends.
The kids participated and won in every category that one can take the exam in, swords, daggers, shields, bows and crossbows, unarmed, and all the wisdom related exams were aced, even strategy and formation were aced to a degree the examiners could just gape wide and just write down the maximum points possible.
As for the party challenge the teachers thought 4 vs 4 was challenging enough but Lili out of pity told them to get at least 4 teacher for each of them, when they did not take her seriously, Reina just waltzed to the group of teachers and had all 4 of them down within 5 seconds, then she looked at the referee and said "it would not be even a challenge with less than 15 people so please arrange some"
What drove director Joey to almost tear his hair from disbelief was not them taking on 15 teachers who were superior in rank, but the fact they had enough time to chat and change roles during the fight. The fight started with Leol with a tower shield and a short sword in each hand, Lili had twin short swords , Yunan had twin curved daggers and Reina had a bow and a quiver full of arrows.
Leol bashed anyone who came close enough and thrust at those that kept their distance away. Lili just charged into the formation of the enemy giving Yunan the time to sneak behind them and deal with their healers. When the attackers who surrounded Leol and Lili tried to protect their healers, they were pelted by a rain of arrows. Yunan would call out any magic that was cast and warn the most likely target making the caster flustered enough to break their concentration and canceling the spell in some cases.
After the first 5 were downed Yunan exchanged location with Reina and Leol did the same with Lili, this change in formation was so fast and smooth that the teachers barely had time to react before another 5 were down and another formation change occurred, this time it was everyone swarming over the last 5 teachers and took them out.
Perfect scores were not rare with well trained kids but not perfect scores in every category, that was something never seen or heard of before, add in the overwhelming performance that made the perfect scores feel lacking and you have yourself a unique event that may never occur again. Since the kids were officially graduates of the adventurers academy, they were offered the usual contracts as well as the chance to enter Tartarus as soon as possible, but the kids declined on entering Tartarus so soon, however they took the time to register for an active party under training by Debauchery, and they chose the name 'Valyrians' for themselves.
It might be a bit corny or even pretentious to name the party after an extinct dragon that was revered and looked upon with respect and fear when it roamed the world, but hey this particular party actually had a Valyrian dragon and a lucky one at that, so whatever others thought about the name it was something only they had the justification to use.
After the Valyrians officially graduated, they just ignored Debauchery and went to meet Yunan's mother, sister Theresa, and pass her the good news, they did not forget to take with them the sweets that the sisters loved as well as transfer an anonymous donation to the orphanage from their newly opened and already full accounts.
Today sister Theresa took it upon herself to make celebratory dinner for the kids in the back rooms of the orphanage where only sisters are usually allowed, but since the newly graduated Valyrians had brought so much sweets with them, there was no harm in letting them inside. The feast was not as frugal as one would expect from a sister struggling to keep an orphanage fed, since most of the ingredients were provided by the kids, Theresa did not hold back when making the best dishes she could make. The dishes full of love and happiness tasted heavenly.
Although the kids did pretend to be full to bursting so that they would not make the sisters feel bad of embarrassed for not providing enough food, they ate again just after leaving the orphanage. Before Yunan said goodbye to his mother, he left her with a ring that had many monster cores and some jewelry for her to use when in a desperate situation. After returning to their room, the kids spent their last night there in a very good mood, they packed the little things they had in the room before going to sleep, if they were lucky, Fae would not burst inside the room before sunrise.
