Chapter 105: Chapter 105Early next morning...

    Aaron didn’t wake up from his sleep. He didn’t sleep the previous night as he had stumbled upon the hidden trials in the core area, and had to concentrate on completing them instead of taking rest.

    He was enjoying that rest now in his house.

    While Aaron was still sleeping, the academy was boiling over. The academy posted the result list from the competition early in the morning. Sёar?h the n?velFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    When the students saw the result, they were surprised. The academy not just posted the names in order of their rank, but also how many points they earned and why.

    The reason why the academy was buzzing was because of the top name, and the points the topper earned.

    --

    1. Aaron Skyhart - 45x Blue, 102x Red, 615x Black - 62,565

    2. Viren Ironheart - 150x Blue, 850x Red, 10x Black - 9,650

    3. Erika Dunberg - 350x Blue, 750x Red, 5x Black - 8,350

    ...

    --

    "What the hell? How could this be?"

    "Wait, there are students who were able to collect Black tokens?"

    "Idiot, forget about others. Look at the first rank. He collected more than 600 black tokens and look at the difference between him and the second rank".

    "Yeah, the first ranker is five times higher than the second ranker".

    "More than 60 thousand, how can that be? He cheated. Guys, let’s start a campaign to revoke this".

    "Yes, there is no way that anyone could have collected so many tokens, especially black ones. Let’s start a campaign against the results".

    "idiot, how can he cheat? This was something arranged by the academy. If you are saying that he cheated, then that means the academy has helped him. There is no way that an academy like Dusk Academy would do such a thing".

    "Who knows? There might be some low-level staff member that he bribed".

    "Wait, I recognise that name. Isn’t he the top ranker of the entire alliance in the academy exam?"

    "Yeah, now that you said it, I recognise the name".

    "Wait, he joined this academy, but I never saw him in any of the classes".

    "Idiot, how can you compare yourself with a genius?"

    Various comments appeared on the website. It’s not just online talk, but students were also talking offline.

    Many are surprised, but many were jealous of these results, especially for the rewards that the academy would give for reaching the top rank.

    Everyone wants resources, but the academy is not a charity that gives resources without extracting a cost. It could be either in Dusk Credits or good progress.

    They are trying to create pillars for the society, not freeloaders.

    Afternoon...

    Aaron woke up late in the afternoon, but he needed the rest after going through such arduous tasks in the ruins.

    Though he is an awaker and is stronger than normal humans, that doesn’t mean he doesn’t need to take care of his body. He needed to take care of his body more than normal humans, or that could hinder his growth.

    After washing up a bit, he checked the academy website to see how everyone did in the competition. When he saw the results, he wasn’t that surprised as others. he expected more from others, but how could one compare to his monstrous attributes and undead army at this point?

    He read a few comments, and a lot of students accused him of cheating. This didn’t surprise him at all. Aaron knew that where there is competition, there would be jealousy.

    Everyone thinks that they are the MC of the story, and they find out that they aren’t, they wouldn’t develop jealousy against others who are doing better than them.

    Aason shook his head and closed the website. What those jealous ones spoke, he didn’t care about that at all. He has much to do, rather than waste time on those comments.

    After getting ready and having a sumptuous lunch, as a way to compensate for the seven days and this morning, Aaron went straight to the library.

    He knew from the comments that were posted on the academy website, many thought that he cheated. He was sure that some hot-headed ones were looking to fight him, but to Aaron, time is very important.

    Fighting those idiots would gain him nothing, but he would lose precious time.

    So, instead of going to the Student Resource Center, where the rewards can be collected for coming on top, he decided to go to the library, where he could utilize the time to improve himself, rather than please some idiots.

    He was sure that some idiots would be waiting for him there, as it was the only place one could collect their rewards. So, it’s the best place to ambush someone like him, who didn’t appear much.

    Academy Library...

    If one looks inside the library, there is a young boy who is well immersed in the books as if he were searching the books for something.

    It was none other than Aaron, who was looking into the details regarding hidden attributes.

    "So, that is the reason, huh?" Aaron muttered as he studied the book, which had more knowledge regarding the hidden attributes.

    There are various hidden attributes and special attributes, but that doesn’t mean that there was no one who knew about them and how to unlock them. There were many who unlocked them, and the knowledge on how to unlock and improve them can be read in the academy’s library as long as one has enough credits.

    From what he learned, unlike normal attributes, where 1 FSP would be enough to increase the attribute by +1, the hidden attributes and special attributes don’t work like that.

    Hidden attributes need 10 FSPs to increase them by +1.

    Special attributes are even worse when it comes to the need for FSPs. Though it was not mentioned, it was said that each Special Attribute requires a different number of FSPs, but the least was 100 FSPs for a +1 increase.

    So, in order to increase Perception by a single point, Aaron has to invest 10 FSPs.

    Reading the information didn’t bother Aaron, instead, it brought a smile to his face. Others may get depressed after learning such information.

    Unlocking a hidden attribute is already a tiresome task. Now they have to invest so many FSPs in them, which would be something others would be reluctant to do, but not Aaron.

    He has tens of thousands of FSPs, and tens of thousands are on their way as he levels up. He is still Rank-2. The number of FSPs gained would increase as he ranks up.

    Normally, he couldn’t make use of them easily, but he found a way to dump all the FSPs that he had and would have in the future.

    "Now, all I need to do is find a way to unlock all those hidden attributes and special attributes. Once I was able to do that, these FSPs wouldn’t be in surplus. I can finally make the best use of all the resources I have in my possession", Aaron thought, and a smile appeared on his face.

    Once he found out what he wanted, he didn’t leave the library, instead, he started to look through other books. The next few days, he decided to concentrate more on books, rather than simply levelling up.
