Celestial Bloodline

Next day early morning,

Kyle was still sleeping when suddenly someone knocked on the door. Not wanting to open the door Kyle put his head inside the blanket and tried to ignore the constant knocking.

Suddenly the knocking stopped and what replaced them was Nine loud voice, waking Kyle from his sleep.

Kyle groaned and looked at the bright light coming from the window. He wanted to sleep more but still wrapping the blanket around himself he crawled out from the bed and staggered toward the door.

He was still drowsy when he opened the door, but his sleep went away when Nine suddenly kicked the door and barged inside the room.

"You are still sleeping? Did you forget we have to check our results today? Hurry up and change your clothes so we can go together."

Nine glanced at Kyle from head to toe.

Kyle looked at Nine dumfounded, he was still processing what was happening when Nine snatched the blanket from him and threw it toward the bed before pushing him toward the bathroom.

"Hurry up."

Kyle nodded with a rather sleepy expression while walking toward the bathroom to freshen up.

Seeing Kyle enter the bathroom, Nine sighed. He wanted to check the result alone but he was too nervous.

After joining the Academy Nine made some friends but they were always busy. On the other hand, Kyle was someone strong, and strangely enough, Nine felt comfortable around him. That's why both of them become friends rather easily.

After knowing Kyle for a while Nine wasn't sure about other things, but there were a few things he noticed during the Ranking Assessment. First Kyle was a little lazy because, during the Ranking Assessment, they rested more than three times! Which would have been enough to gather a lot of points.

Also, Kyle would always become excited and determined at every smallest possible advantage, but his excitement would never last long and he would lose determination very easily. In the start, Nine was flustered seeing the burning flame inside Kyle's eyes but soon those flames extinguished like they never existed.

While thinking Nine looked around the small room, which was mostly empty. Due to only a bed and a table present inside the room, he easily noticed a small egg present on top of the table beside the bed. The egg was placed on some neatly folded sheets. Nine walked toward the egg and looked at it curiously.

There was nothing special about the egg, but its dense red color was attractive. Nine wanted to touch the egg but before he could, he heard Kyle coming out after changing his clothes.

Nine turned around and saw Kyle wearing a neat long-sleeved blackish-silver casual top with black pants.

Kyle glanced at Nine before leaving the dorm.

"What are you doing, let's go."

Seeing him leaving Nine also rushed out from the dorm leaving behind the egg which trembled slightly when Kyle left the dorm.

After leaving the dorm building, they both slowly started walking toward the Main Hall. Nine was talking non-stop as he was excited and nervous at the same time.

Kyle was listening to Nine grumbling while nodding and replying from time to time. Kyle didn't like making friends after the talent test, when all his friends left him because of his low talent, but now talking to Nine he felt it was not so bad to have some friends.

Suddenly a familiar voice called out Kyle's name from behind. Kyle turned around to see who it was, only to find Alec and Carcel walking toward them.

Alec waved his hand toward Kyle and Nine indicating them to stop.

Kyle wore a confused expression as to why Alec was calling out his name. He did talk to him when they were inside the 'Goblin Cave' but afterward, they didn't interact much with each other.

After reaching the duo Alec questioned,

"Are you both going toward the Main Hall to check the result?"

"Yes." Said Nine. Meanwhile, Kyle nodded his head indicating they were indeed heading toward the main hall.

Alec smiled before offering to go together.

Nine agreed immediately, he was more than happy to accompany Alec and Carcel. Both of them were famous in Class, one due to his rare talent which was (+SSS)-Rank while the other because he was the Second Prince of the Kingdom.

On the other hand, Kyle looked at Alec from head to toe before looking at Carcel who nodded his head as a greeting.

Kyle had a question in his mind, he was not close with any of them, so why were they asking to go together? And seeing Nine surprised expression, Kyle was sure he was also not close with them.

Nevertheless, he didn't think much about it and also agreed.

All of them started walking toward the Main Hall together, Nine was already talking non-stop when Alec joined in and both of them started talking about the results with enthusiasm. Meanwhile, Kyle and Carcel only listened to them.

Soon they arrived in front of a Big Hall where students were continuously going in and coming out. The moment they entered they were greeted by a huge crowd.

All the first-year students seem to be looking at the big board present at the center of the Hall. Some second and third-year students were also present to see the first years who ranked in the top ten.

Seeing Alec and Carcel entering the Hall a lot of students looked at them with envy and respect. The crowd started whispering with each other while making way for them.

Alec and Carcel didn't mind the huge crowd and approached the big board where a slim old man was standing, wearing instructor clothes. Lara and Mia with some other students were standing behind the old instructor, who seemed to be looking at the four new arrivals curiously.

Nine and Kyle also followed behind Alec and Carcel, but because the students were focused on Alec and Carcel not many noticed them.

After reaching the board Alec was the first one to notice his name, before he also noticed Carcel, Kyle, and Nine names.

RANKING;

Rank 1_ Alec (Points 878)

Rank 2_ Carcel (Points 845)

Rank 3_ Mia (Points 750)

Rank 4_ Lara (Points 745)

Rank 5_ Jake (Points 680)

Rank 6_ Lily (Points 677)

Rank 7_ Kyle (Points 670)

Rank 8_ Nine (Points 654)

.....

Kyle also looked at his ranking and was satisfied with the result, but still seeing the huge difference of more than 200 points between himself and Alec pained his heart.

They were all still looking at their results when the old man standing in front of the Board looked at Alec before saying,

"I believe the four of you are also in the top ten?"

Hearing the deep yet calm voice Alec replied with a, "Yes"

The old man nodded before speaking again,

"The four of you are the last ones to appear. First Show me your identification tokens, then all of you can follow me to get your reward."

After checking the new arrivals tokens and confirming their identity the old man gestured for the top ten students to follow behind him.
