"It wasn\'t a dream huh?..."
Shye clenched his fists in excitement as the feeling of snatching the number one spot finally sunk in.
After he got home yesterday, Maia jumped up and down in excitement while her eyes sparkled as she continued spouting words of admiration.
Shye continued reminiscing about everything that happened yesterday for a while before he was finally forced to get up from his bed due to his agenda for the day.
Instructor Fienna told him to meet her today at 7 AM because the dean wanted to talk to him about something.
Shye walked down the stairs, quickly prepared and ate a meal, then took a bath and left the dormitory.
He got up a bit late from his bed so he didn\'t have the time to cook whatever food he wanted and so, he just settled for fried eggs, bacon, and toasted bread.
While walking, he ran into someone he didn\'t expect, Siegfried.
"Yo! Crowley! Good morning! I had fun yesterday, how about you?"
Shye smiled after hearing Siegfried\'s words, with how happy he looked, one would think that he was the one who won yesterday.
It seems like the guy simply enjoyed a good fight and didn\'t even care if he wins or loses.
"Oh hey, Siegfried. Yeah, yesterday\'s match was fun. Among everyone I\'ve fought, you gave me the hardest fight."
"Hahahaha! I\'m glad to hear that! That won\'t be our last battle though so you better prepare!"
The two of them walked side by side while chatting casually as they headed toward the direction of the dean\'s office.
Shye really enjoyed chatting with a straightforward guy like Siegfried so he was a bit disappointed after finding out that Siegfried wasn\'t called into the dean\'s office as well.
Their classrooms were really far away from each other so it would be hard for them to develop their friendship if no one went out of their way to occasionally visit the other guy.
Unfortunately, both of them had their own agendas so after Shye reached the dean\'s office, the two of them parted ways.
"Oh? How come you\'re not late today? I guess you\'re scared of the dean huh?"
Instructor Fienna couldn\'t help but chuckle as she teased Shye since he was late most of the time.
Shye showed her an embarrassed smile as he awkwardly scratched his head while apologizing.
"S-Sorry, Instructor Fienna, I\'ll try to be on time from now on..."
"Hahahaha! No worries, you can be late all you want since you secured the highest class ranking possible for our class. Jokes aside, shall we enter the office?"
"Yes..."
After a short conversation outside the dean\'s office, Instructor Fienna knocked on the door and led the way inside the dean\'s office.
Upon entering, Shye was amazed at how large the dean\'s office was.
"T-This is just an office? This is more like a main hall in a castle!"
Shye thought to himself.
It took them a few minutes of walking before they finally reached the huge desk where Dean Sven Snowcrest was working.
"Dean Snowcrest, I\'ve brought Shye Crowley with me."
"Oh? Fienna! Welcome to my office. Hmm...So you\'re Shye Crowley huh?"
Dean Sven Snowcrest rubbed his chin as he stared at Shye with intrigue. It was as if he was trying to learn everything about Shye.
"H-Hello Dean Snowcrest..."
Shye couldn\'t help but speak uncomfortably after being stared at by Dean Snowcrest. Fortunately, Instructor Fienna helped him out.
"MHM! Dean Snowcrest, I believe we\'re here because you wanted to give something to Crowley?"
Instructor Fienna cleared her throat which successfully captured Dean Snowcrest\'s attention.
"Oh, pardon my rudeness, Crowley. Indeed, after your amazing performance, I started to dream that maybe you would be able to bring our academy to new heights."
"I\'ve been watching you ever since the entrance examinations and I must say that although you started out pretty weak, I can confidently say that your rate of improvement was the fastest throughout the entire history of Colzen Adventurer Academy."
"I\'ve never seen someone grow so fast in my life but I do understand that everyone has their own secrets so I shall not pry any further."
"Because of your amazing feats, I have decided to place the hopes and dreams of Colzen Adventurer Academy in your hands."
Dean Snowcrest said with fire blazing in his eyes. He then took out a huge black greatsword which resembles a huge cross.
"This is a sword that I used when I was younger. I got this from defeating a B ranked creature, the Demonic Orc Chief, and I can confidently say that this is one of the peak weapons for warrior-class adventurers ranked platinum and below."
"I shall bestow this sword, the Nightbringer, to you and I sincerely hope that you will shine the brightest in the Adventurer Academy Competition three and a half years from now."
