The news has begun spreading across University 14. The first ones to hear were the second-year students because they were the ones who were looking forward to this year's first-year results.
They wanted to know whether they had done their best or not. To their surprise and shock, they learned that the highest kill count was achieved by the S-Grader of the Elemental Department, followed by the S-Grader of the Control Department.
Both of their individual kill counts surpassed the individual kill counts of last year.
What's more, the total department kill count has surpassed them as well. The second-years had no face left; they thought it was over. But another shocking piece of news shook them to the core, that someone had killed the Tier-3 Corrupted Beast.
The Beast Tamer who slayed it was an A-Grade Talent. The shocking part of the news was that he had killed it without relying on his lifeline beast.
