4) Dormitory Selection Exam

"I'm back Mom, dad."

As i opened the door and entered the house my stepmom ran towards me and hugged me.

"You are finally back."

"Haha... Mom, you are squeezing me."

"Aha... I'm sorry."

"Its fine."

"Took you long enough to come back."

It was my dad who said that.

"I'm back dad."

"Well, its good to see you."

"Heyy... youu... What have you been doing these past month?"

"Well, i was going around travelling the northern region."

"So, did you like it?"

"Yes, it was very beautiful."

"I see. Anyway, you... seem to have grown a bit. Or, is it just me?"

"Huh? What do you mean grown?"

"Your aura... It seems stronger. What... were you doing this past Month?"

"Truthfully... I... Was raiding dungeons."

"I.. see... WHATTT!?"

"It's fine honey, He's going to be doing that soon enough anyway. So let him have some practice. It's probably E ranked ones too anyway."

"I guess. So? What happened there?"

"I grew by 15 levels. I'm 35 currently and i also got a new skill."

"Seriously? That's such a good news. Come on darling, let's have a party. Hes a D Rank now."

"Also, My swordsmanship has grown by a rank. It's C now."

"My goodness, why didn't you tell that before. Than.. This sword might just be useless now wouldn't it?"

"It's fine mom, It's a really good sword. I'd like to keep it until i reach C rank. Which will probably take a while."

"Well, That's good to hear. But, you should get your sword exchanged once you reach C rank."

"Yes mom. I will."

To that she smiled and nodded her head. She sure is very helpful.

I'm also glad that i Don't see her as a women anymore.

It took a while to get accustomed to her beautiful appearence but now, that i saw her treating me like my mother, I can't help but see her as my real Mother from another world.

Also, she's going to join the academy as a Combat Professor for swordsmanship.

She has an SSS rank swordsmanship skill.

She's one of the strongest swordsman around.

but nobody knows that, They only know that she has an S rank Skill related to swordsmanship.

They don't yet know that it's an SSS Rank skill that can even bend reality.

Because if people knew about this skill, they'd easily trace her real identify.

Anyway, the underlying fact is that she'll be a professor in the academy soon and she's a popular teacher among the Heroines.

That's why i know that her identity will become known to the whole world and people will try to assassinate her and her daughter.

Especially the demonic Cult who hates the Strongest Human, Reymond Ethan.

Her EX husband, and they'll very much try and kill Emilia because of her origin of being born off of The strongest Human and a women with the rarest SSS Rank Skill.

That's why, it's my duty as their brother and son to protect them.

But well, for that I have to be stronger than them by the end of 2nd year.

...

I made my way towards the auditorium, which was pretty far from the gate.

I took the train to get here.

It's pretty far away from home.

My house is in the southern region and the academy is in the Central Region.

So, it's a 12 Hour trip from my house to the academy.

As I entered the academy exhausted and wanted to go to my dorm.

I was told that there would be a orientation that is a compensatory to attend.

As I was close to the auditorium, it was pretty quite.

I felt like I might have been earlier than expected.

But the moment I entered.

Most of the chairs were filled with people.

Only 100-200 of them were left un attended.

I was shocked to see how quite it was considering there were probably around 5000 of them present right now.

As I took a chair closest to the auditorium door, there sat a beautiful women next to me.

But, sadly... The moment I sat next to her she pulled her chair away from me.

Which made me feel a bit depressed, but I didn't let it get to me.

As I looked ahead towards the stage.

There were many people sitting at the front chairs.

While the Stage was empty. After about 5 minutes or so, everyone entered the hall and the Orientation went underway.

...

There were 3 people sitting at those sofas at the front.

One was the Representative of Humans, who provided land to the dwarves and elves to Inhabit after they came from other planets.

The other was the representative of Elves, the people who give us lessons on mana resonance.

And the last was the representative of dwarves, the people who supply the weapons in the academy.

Only the Elf was a Female. Probably a High ranking one at that.

She appeared to be around her 30's.

And she's very hot, a little too hot honestly.

How can someone be this hot? I wouldn't know. But, she's God damn hot.

People were so awestruck. When they saw her.

I was the same honestly.

And than the 10 Student representatives appeared, representing the top 10 Students of the academy.

I obviously wasn't one of them.

Since I ranked around 77th in theory and 2221 in Mana resonence.

All the 6 Main heroines were a part of the academy's top 10. That included My step sister, Emilia Marnus/Core.

The MC of the novel and his rival were also present.

The MC had Blonde hair and Blue eyes, Like his sister, One of the main heroines.

Lyra Core, She had Blonde hair and Green eyes. She had a killer body with a modest chest which was. Quite honestly the perfect body for a women.

Honestly what's with this world? Every damn one of them are a little too beautiful.

The Illustrations didn't even capture 1% of their actual beauty.

So this is what the real one's look like haa?

The reason why It took me so long to Notice Emilia and her Mother were because, the illustrations and their actual appearenced were quite different.

Well, that's to be expected since they are just drawings of the real people.

The real one's actually do look like the humans jn my world.

The only difference would be that they are a million, maybe a billion times more beautiful than the women in my world.

And... Every last one of them are atleast a 100/ times more beautiful than the women in my world.

The same body proportions, the same style and yet, they are somehow way more beautiful than the women in my world.

Is it because of their Hair colour? Probably Their Perfect bodies? Or is it their Innocent yet Beautiful looking faces?

I didn't know but all I knew was that I've never seen such beauty before.

I didn't notice it at the beginning because of the fact that I was really busy leveling up, but now that I have calmed down and gotten more accepting of everything.

I've started to panic more and more.

It's quite scary how beautiful these women are.

Makes it more and more believable that I might just be in a Coma going through a damn dream.

I'm sure, none of them will have anything to do with me.

In the first place, I'm just an outsider that will either wake up or fall in the endless void feeling a sense of betrayal because of this not actually being real.

And even if this were real... I'm sure, none of these women would be interested in a man like me.

But well... I've more or less accustomed to rejection by now. These days I even feel scared of falling in love.

The last time I liked someone was probably when I was in the 2nd year of College.

When I was 19.

...

"Now that everything is done with, let's get to the main point. I suppose Everyone of you is exhausted by now."

Everyone's faces lit up the moment The announcer Foreshadowed the end of the Long Orientation.

"You have travelled from all over the world, So... It's only right I let you all rest in the top class dormetories. But."

But?

"There's a catch."

So, it's finally starting.

"All of you will be assigned to one of the 4 Dormitories."

"The top 100 will get their forms assigned without any issue. But... The rest of you."

"Will go through a test to assign you into one of the 3 Dorms."

"There are a total of 3 Dorms for the rest of the 4900 students."

"The remaining 4900 will get ranked based on this test. And based on your rank, you'll either get a room for yourself. Live with a roommate or live with 3 other roommates."

"Here's the ranking system."

He opened a slideshow that had numbers on it.

[ Dormetory Ranks

1-100 - ROYAL ENFIELD

101-1100 - SERENITY

1101 - 2600 - NEST

2601 - 5000 - HIVE ]

"Royal Enflied has already been Taken by the top 100 the remaining of you will be Assigned to The remaining 3 Dorms.

Dormetory selection Exam happens every 4 Months so even if you fail today doesn't mean you'll be there for the next 6 Years. You can try and Get to a better dorm every 4 Months."

"The test is simple. Just Put your hands on the Cristal ball while leaving the Auditorium one by one and it'll assign you to your dorm based on your Level."

So, it's pretty much merit based. But than again... It is a merit based world.

Which is actually a good thing, wou wouldn't want some incompetent fool to take the top spot just because he's the son of some big shit father.

So, I don't mind this.

I'll probably get a dorm with a roommate.

Which I don't mind honestly, unless he's some piece of shit.

I was at the far end of the hall so it didn't take me long to get my chance.

There were around 10 exit doors in the auditorium and each of them has a Crystal or placed at the door.

As everyone placed their hands on the orb, Words showed up.

How does this work you ask?

It's simple really.

That elf at the front created this orb. It's been set in a way that it'll flash a word, Depending on the amount of mana you have.

I'm close to C Rank so I don't think I'll have a problem to get the roommate dorm.

As inplaced my hand on the orb as expected it flashed the Dorm.

And the dude put his hand in the Nest box and pulled out a paper.

N / 9 - 2 - 7.

It simply means Building 9, Floor 2 and Room 7.

There were around 100 busses lined up in the open area. Each of them had names like nest, Serantiy and Hive.

Each of them could easily fit around 50 people.

It was an AC Seater bus.

It's really cool they have such busses.

I looked for Number 9 which signifies the building number and got on.

After everyone boarded the bus it soon left the area.

...

There were around 15 buildings lined up, with each having 10 floors.

And the moment I went inside I realised that this building has around 5 rooms in each floor

The MC started off in the Serantiy building which had the same number of Floors but it had 10 rooms in 1 floor.

I guess they weren't going to do something like putting 2 rooms in the sam room Length.

The moment I opened the door what greeted me was a very Modern looking house.

It has a hall, a kitchen and had 2 rooms

It didn't have any appliances like tv or fridge which is quite weird.

But for me who knowss the reason, there's really nothing to worry about.

After all ican buy these things after I get a good salary from the academy after doing well in the Emolument Merit Contest.

Or in other world, The Salary Selection Exam.
