Bab 95: The Selection Ends

"Winner! Hiro Ernest of the First-year."

The host announced the winner for the last group.

"Shit, Even Rylan lost to a First-year. How can we show our faces to the juniors?"

"Dammit, this year's juniors are messed up. How can we as seniors keep our dignity?"

"You only have half a year with them, but we still have to keep going to the same Academy for at least one and a half years." …

The audience began chatting loudly after the results were announced. Three Top-10 scorers lost to first-year students; one was in the Top-5 and another was in the Top-3. This means that at least 3 first-year students were stronger than almost all Third-year students.

How can they who are regarded as talented show their faces when two years younger people are stronger than them?

Does that mean they should treat Hiro, Zero, and Lisa as how they treat Lisanna and other Top students? They can't disrespect them as they were stronger than them.
