No Worth?

"Number 1119. Overall points: 10,248. Minimum of 1000 points requirement. Please raise your hand if you want him as your student."

Number 1119: Keith Monterrey. The highest point ever got in the history of Alain is 11,000; a record created by the second legendary name: Massareti.

The second one is 10,999: recorded by the first Zion. Just a one point difference.

But all of the said geniuses only gets up to 10,500. This is something that they cannot understand. What makes those two legends to have that kind of points.

All of the seven School Masters raised their hands. A lot more others also raised their hands. Almost all of them.

Keith then looked at Niana, who is some meters away from him. He nodded and then he shouted:

"Pentagon City Academy!" He loudly proclaimed.

"Pentagon?"

"Why that backwater one?"

"Is there some kind of mistake or is someone threatening him?"

Some voices were heard in the people from the background.

"Keith Monterey. Enrolled to Pentagon City Academy."

Keith then walked towards Louis who is number 1120 and gave him a high five.

"Number 1120. Overall points: 10,332. --"

"Pentagon City Academy." Louis said as he nodded towards Alan, who did not raise his hand. Alan sure did notice it, and he knows what these kids are planning.

The next one to walk is France.

"Number 1121. Overall points: 10,355."

"Pentagon City Academy." He said and walked back. Jovanna walked forward.

"Number 1122. Overall points: 10,401."

"Pentagon City Academy." She said shyly, then she walked back to her group, making Niana step up next.

"Number 1124. Overall points: 10,500."

"Pentagon City Academy." She declared and then she looked a glance at het father, Nicholas Oregon, with disdain and then walked back to her group.

The next one to step up is Celestine Axami. She walked in the middle of the podium, but as she did so, she looked back, only not to see the ash-haired boy, and she is a bit surprised.

But the show must go on. Anything that happened between the two is a secret, for now.

"Number 1123. Overall points: 10,846."

"Pentagon City Academy!" She declared and then she walked back. She knows what the other five was planning.

Although they are nobles, they follow an ideology that changed their perspectives.

Noblesse oblige.

The ones in power must use their power to help the powerless.

"What? Someone that is close to Zion and Massareti?" Simon was surprised and almost cursed out loud. Imelda then calmed him down. Her heart was also thumping when she felt that the belt is moving. She knows that the boy is near her, and the magic tool is responding.

"Number 1126. Overall points: 10,455."

A round of gasps was heard when Melrose got into the podium and her numbers were announced.

This is unbelievable, for the Hexagram was believed that will have the higher scores, but they were outshined by a certain someone, and she is someone who is not known by many. The announcer also stopped because of shock.

"I am Melrose Grand, and I choose Pentagon City Academy!"

"Grand? The exiled family?"

"The family of Zion? And Solas The Betrayer? The husband of Massareti?"

Whispers came here and there. Melrose completely ignored them, and Cedric walked.

"I am Cedric Grand. My overall points are 10,469. I choose to attend Pentagon City Academy!" He announced.

When he did that, all of the guards outside came in and pointed their spears towards the two.

"Oh? The silent treatment, Miss School Master?" A voice was heard from within the crowd.

After that, Edwina raised her eyebrow. Hao Lin and Samantha did not even felt his presence. Lloyd's wyvern became wary of someone and Emma was also surprised. Even if she can multicast, this enemy can cut her down if he wanted to, without him making a move.

Imelda and Simon was the most surprised.

They say that a noble blood will sense a peon from far away, but this man reeks royalty, a much higher than their bloodline. Much purer, a more supreme one.

Imelda also got scared when the boy got out, because her belt was in riot. It wants to go back to his master quickly.

Juno, the thug who beat up Zion last time also arrived besides Imelda. He was ready to fight anytime.

"So you say that even if we announce that we are your students, you can just not accept us because we are exiled?" The boy said again as he walked out. His ash hair is too striking that all of their hearts began to tremble.

Edwina swallowed a full gulp of air before she managed to calm down. She exhaled and then she stood up.

"No, I was just caught up in a moment, but I am accepting them. Any form of violence towards them is an act of violence towards my school. Now, retract your spears away." Edwina shouted in a hurry. It was something that she knows as a School Master.

Silence permeated after.

"Number 1125. Overall points: 0."

The announcer broke the silence.

It was then that the small and medium schools laughed. Including the Four Heads, Simon, Imelda and Juno. The other six was more surprised.

In this world filled with magic, fighting and alike, he, did not get any one of those. Is he that extremely untalented, or anything else?

After that, Louis requested the weapon this man did. A simple mechanical crossbow. Nothing else.

"All talk and no proof, huh?" Simon scowled and laugh.

"Is it how nobles act? Also, I believe that that madam beside you has something that is originally mine." Zion said as he looked at the laughing Simon.

"You dare to question me, kid?" Simon is mad.

"And what if I got it from you? Are you thinking that you can get it again? You dare to get a prize from a noble? You dare question our ways?" Imelda said.

"Oh? And who might you be? Am I talking to you? What makes you think that I am? And according to you, is it okay now for nobles to steal?" Zion mocked.

The other School Masters laughed as they heard that. It is a huge slap to their faces.

"So what? You are still powerless." Juno jumped down from the side of Imelda. He was so mad about how this boy is disrespecting his boss.

He then threw the strongest punch he can throw. If he manage to kill this young man, it might be said as accident or an act of purging a terrorist.

Zion smirked, and then, received the punch by one hand.

Actually, it is amazing enough towards the small and medium schools, but Hao Lin saw something different.

First, Juno is a guy with shredded muscles. He trained for a day like this. He yearns for someone to fight.

When he moved, Hao Lin saw his flow move from his lower body, up to the torso, then all of it converged to his right fist.

But, the flow did not appear in the boy's body. It appeared outside, and the flow was met with something in the equal degree, and it was cancelled out.

Juno, who was so confident in his power, now has too many beads of sweat on his forehead.

"You are a no worth child. Nobody here wants you! So scram and go away!" Simon roared loudly.

He then turned around, looked at the other six and said.

"Nobody here wants him, right? Now let this guy taste despair. Who wants him anyway?" Simon then said with authority. After that, six hands were raised in the air.

"Eh?" He was confused.

It was a comedy. His face became pale.

"Uhm, when you said 'let this guy taste despair', are you referring to him or yourself?" Hao Lin asked.

To be honest, Simon is the strongest of them all. His overall points were 10,500 too, and he is a good tactician.

But when faced with Hao Lin, he cowers in fear. He then sat down dejectedly.

"I want to go to Pentagon City Academy. The name is Zion Grand, please remember it." Zion said as he walked back.

"Hey, isn't your family exiled? Why are you here anyways?" This is a bit sudden, but the thought of hitting two birds with one stone is exciting for Zion.

The speaker is Number 1129, Tony Router. He is one of the people who pushed him down the labyrinth.

"Oh boy, did your mom not teach you the manners of being a noble? Do not dip your fingers on other's conversation? Or are you not listening well to your mother, and so you dared to push someone down the Void Labyrinth?" Zion smiled at him.

"The only ones I can consider as noble is those six people who came to test before us. At least I can see their chivalrous heart that wants to help." He acknowledged the Hexagram.

He looked at Tony and his eyes were like saying "I know what you did there".

Tony paled when he heard it. He can't see Zion's face, but he knew that others are not as brave as this guy to blurt out something like that unless he is a son of the king, or a son of a duke.

Zion then continued to walk as he heard some whispers about the authenticity of the son of a viscount pushing someone down the labyrinth.

"Also, madam, I will take back what's mine, but not today, but in time. If you won't hand it over politely, then your corpse is much more obedient than you." Zion smiled.

"Are you saying you are gonna kill me?" Imelda shouted.

"Depends on you." Zion said.

"Over my dead body, boy!" Said Simon.

"Is that so? Then I will then take yours first before hers." Zion smirked. A cold sweat broke into everyone.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

A clap resounded in the very top part of the tower. It was a man clad in robes, a crown on his head, and a staff on his left hand.

All of the people, including the Hexagram, Cedric, Melrose, and even Simon and Imelda bowed down. All of them became like heaps of wheat being cut down.

"My Lord Aultocrey XVI, we are pleased to have your company." All of them said, but only one is still standing, making him stand out.

Aultocrey eyes Zion. Zion did the same towards the king. The king is somewhat at forty years of age.

"As the king, I am sorry to disappoint you. These nobles are such hard-headed ones. They are spoiled brats, and in behalf of them, I want to apologize deeply." Aultocrey bowed down. The nobles, and the others are bewildered. What happened that made a king bow down towards a student.

"As long as it is clear." Zion said, waving his hand.

"You imbecile!" The king's butler was to do something, but Aultocrey stopped him. He smiled at the kid who is walking back to his friends.

"Even if you move, you won't win. That boy is from the Human Portal, together with the Axami child. I don't know what happened, but it seems that they capped the pointing system to 11,000, and it seems that he went past that. Do not worry, you can add his name to the people that may be the King's Knights, that works directly under me. For the meantime, observe him, Imelda and Simon. Things will get interesting in the next few days." Aultocrey said as he walked away.

The butler nodded and he then sent three people to man each of the targets.

Below it, Simon is still bitter within his heart.

But then, an idea came up to his mind.

The enrolment session ended that day, and scandals appeared on the streets of Alain.

But the day did not end there for Alan.

He went to his lab, and then there, he picked up the crossbow.

He fired it somewhere, and the arrow landed, but mana was pulled from his body, onto the crossbow, and another arrow formed on the crossbow.

A self-reloading crossbow.

As long as you have mana, you can use it.

Definitely something that can be used in a long battle.

The upside is, it consumes a little mana, and fires in an instant.

The downside is the range, the power and the intent of the user.

He smiled.

And the next day, a much larger scandal ensued.
