Chapter 63 Admission Letter!
63 Admission Letter!
Holding a white scroll above the Moon Fox, Alicia dropped a drop of her blood on it. Then, the next moment, a bluish magical pattern appeared on the Moon Fox, which disappeared soon after. Alicia felt a spiritual link between her and Ivy's consciousness. With it, her understanding and feelings for Ivy were increasing. Hence, the Spirit Contract between them was established.

At the breakfast table. Everyone was in a jovial mood because Alicia had established her Spirit Contract with Ivy.
Lumine's eyes were constantly looking at Ivy, who was sleeping on Alicia's lap. That majestic fluffy tail was making her hands itch to ruffle on it. "Luis, your admission letter is here."
Hearing Ronald's words, Luis, who was almost done eating his breakfast, stopped. "Already?"
Ronald's left brow twitched. "What already? There's only one week left before the entrance exam."
"Oh, right?" Luis replied without much thought, and then concentrated on finishing his breakfast.
Because of his uncaring attitude, Ronald felt helpless. 'Is it confidence?' But he also knew with Luis' current strength there should be nothing to worry about.
Contrary to Ronald's judgment. Luis was very much looking forward to the start of the academy. Because with that, the game story will begin, bringing all kinds of events, quests, dangers, adventures, dramas and thrills. Turning his head to Alicia, Ronald said, "Alicia, your admission letter is with your father. He will bring it later."
"Um-hm." Alicia nodded. Then glanced at Luis, thoughtfully. 'With our current strength, the top of the rankings shouldn't be a problem. But I don't know how much strength he is going to hide.'
Alicia knew that Luis was going to hide his Space affinity. So, he shouldn't use Spatial Jump and his other space-related abilities. Wondering this, a thought appeared in her mind. 'In that case, defeating him shouldn't be a problem, right?'
Thinking of this, Alicia became a little excited and a powerful fighting intent emerged inside her. 'Hehe~ It's going to be fun."
Luis saw Alicia smirking at him and was a little confused. 'What's up with her?'

After breakfast, Ronald left for the guild. Lumine followed Alicia to play with Ivy. So Luis, who was left alone, decided to go to the training grounds.
13:35
At the training grounds, Luis was constantly experimenting with his Lightning Spells. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Thunder Javelin!"
*Boom*
"Lightning Spear!"
*Kaboom* *Zzzt*
"Thunder Snake!"
*Sssh*
…
In these months of training, Luis' proficiency with the Lightning element was increasing steadily. Though he learned quite a few Lightning Element spells, only some of them were from the Ancient Magic Book. Because most of the spells in it are very powerful and they aren't something that he can cast with his current strength. …
Hours went by and the training ground was left charred everywhere and covered with craters and pits all over.
*Gulp*
Drinking a bottle of Mana Potion. Luis recovered his exhausted mana. "Lily, show me my current status."
{Okay, Master~}
Followed by Lily's voice, a hologram of his status panel appeared above his mana bracelet.

Looking at his status, Luis mumbled with a sigh. "Just a step away from the Order Rank… Although it's just a step… I don't know how long will it take to break through."
Then, while rubbing his chin, he thought. 'Although, with my current strength, the starting few events shouldn't be a problem. But that's if… everything goes according to the game routes. I don't know… what kind of changes my existence will bring.'
*Sigh*
"There's no point thinking about this. I just have to prepare as much as I can."
{Master, you are already very strong. As per the data of the current year's candidates, you are the strongest.} Seeing Lily cheering him on, Luis smiled faintly. He knew Lily had misunderstood him, but he didn't bother to clear up the misunderstanding.
Instead, the data she mentioned interested him. "Oh? What information did you find?" Luis asked curiously.
{The majority of the students are the ones who have been recently awakened. So, they are still in Rookie Rank (G). As for the ones who are affiliated with the major guilds or are trained for a while. Those selected elites are in Beginner Rank (F).}
"Just tell me the numerical data."
{Around 35 candidates are in Beginner Rank (F). The rest are all in Rookie Rank (G) or unawakened.}
"Tell me the Star division of F-ranks?"
{15 candidates have just entered the Beginner Rank (F). 12 of them are affiliated with major guilds and are in two or three stars. And the rest of the 8 are the geniuses of this generation. Six of which are in four and five stars.}
Hearing Lily's estimate, Luis was silent for a while. For the twenty-seven F-Ranks. He had no opinion. But the eight geniuses of this generation that Lily mentioned. Luis was already sure about whom she was talking about. So, he asked with a faint smile.
"Oh, are we included in those eight?"
{Of course! Master is about to break through to Order rank (D) and Sis Alicia is [Novice rank ★ ★ ★ (E)]. You two are the strongest candidates this year, surpassing those geniuses by far.} Lily answered with a proud expression. Luis nodded, then thought of something and spoke.
"Lily, find all the information about those six and all the F-Ranks. Details about their personal life, including habits, connections, social life, relationships, likes, dislikes, family members, close friends, and activities. I want a record of everything."
{You can count on me, Master!} Lily exclaimed while giving a playful military salute.
"Okay, don't mess around and work on it." Luis said with a serious expression. To which Lily just shrugged with pouting cheeks.
{Yes~ Yes~}
Seeing her acting cute, Luis shook his head with a slight smile.
