Chapter 36: First Place

Three days later. In the hostel living room. Today was the result announcement day.

Elias was looking at his laptop. His finger tapped on the mouse, giving the mouse a hit. He clicked on the email that he just received. 

A new tab popped out. The title was 'Examination Result'. Scrolling down, Elias saw his name at the first place, and the second place was Sam.

Under the ranking was a congratulation sentences for all of them

"Congratulation for all the candidate for completing the examination. I am pleased to announce that the first place, Elias and the second place, Sam will be joining the research team."

Elias breathed a sign of relief, his hand was shivering in excitement. He was happy when he saw the result. It wasn't a surprise to him, considering he was rebirth. 

Finally, he got into the research team. It was easy for him to get any information about the magic world now.

At the same time, at another hostel. One of the Sam's companion shouted, his eyes widened.

"How come? The boy got the first place? " he thought that Elias was an ordinary kid, because Elias looked young. In fact, Elias was young, he was just 17 years old.

Tapping on the guys beside him, he asked the guy to looked at the email.

"Wow, first place. This means that his result is the best"

"I thought he just come for fun. Who know he actually very smart."

Sam's face turned dark. He was sitting on the sofa, looking at the email through his phone. He couldn't help but to frown deeply. He was confident with his answer, he thought that he could get the first place. But now the result showed that the boy was better than him.

At Elias's hostel.

Chris passed by. He was curious about what Elias was doing. Then he put his hand on Elias's shoulder, leaning forward to look at at Elias's screen.

"Elias, what you doing? Examination result? First place, Elias?" Chris mumbled. He was wondering what exam is it? It was just the beginning of the semester, there was no exam at all.

Alex and Ben who were watching television heard that and came close to them.

"What exam? We have exam? Why I don't know?" Alex said.

"emmmm.... This is a entry exam for the Professor William research team. " Elias scratched his head and said. At first, he didn't want to let them know, but if they wanted to know. Elias was fine with that. Hopefully this won't discourage them on their studies.

Hehe

"What? You say again. The leader of the space sector, the top space magician, Professor William?"

"Ya." Elias nodded his head lightly.

All of their eyes widened, gazing at Elias.

In the office, one of the teacher read the email.

"Eh? Sam didn't get the first place? Who is this Elias?"

"??? A first year degree student? " 

"Hannah, you sure about the result?" the teacher turned to Hannah and asked. In her mind, Sam was the top student for this batch who had high chance of joining the research team. And Elias was a first year degree student that she never heard of before.

Throughout all these years, there were few people managed to join the research group, but none of them was a degree student. Elias was the first to achieve that. Elias broke the record.

"Ya, you can see his paper. It is recorded in the server." Hannah said with a calm voice. She was the one who marked their paper, she knew that Elias was better than Sam.

The teacher turned to her computer and typed the words 'research team exam. Scrolling through the folder, she found Elias's paper in the server and opened it.

After reading Elias's paper, the teacher took a deep breath and exclaimed.

"Wow, he even give two ways of solving the question. Genius." This meant that Elias even had some spare time to do two solution for a question. And both of the solution worked.

 At Elias's hostel, three of his house mate was gazing at him.

"Elias, you better say now. What else are you hiding from us?"

"Har, at first Mia, then Ava, now it is the Professor William. "

"Who else?"

Elias looked to left and right. For a moment, he didn't know how to react. You guys asked what is this. So, I answered you. Is not my fault right? 

Hehe

"Hmm, no more I think." Elias said.

"You better be sure about it." Alex said.

"One more thing, very important. Can teach us how you do it?" Chris asked. He was curios how he became friend with Mia and Ava. They were the prettiest girl in both University. Ava was young, cute and pretty. Mia was mature, pretty and smart. Both of them were the best girl here.

"Hmmm, born to be?" Elias pursed his lip before he said.

"Sh*t. Kill him." Chris said

"I agree." Ben nodded his head.

Then, four of them hitting each other in the hostel, having fun.
