Magic System in a Parallel World

After a minute of silence, Headmistress Eve began speaking again, "I will now announce the teams that have achieved top 10 in the Wilderness Training Course."

"Ranked tenth, led by team leader Callum Wolf from Magic Class 3-A, assisted by Dante Tenebris from Magic Class 3-A, Tade Wright from Magic Class 3-A, Helen Trevils from Magic Class 2-A…"

Headmistress Eve started from rank 10 and slowly went up, giving attention to all of the students that have achieved their rank.

Many minutes later.

"Ranked third, led by team leader Helia Barnett—"

Many shocked gasps resounded in the auditorium when Eve announced the team that ranked third for the training course.

"What? Lady Helia's team only ranked third this year?"

"I'm shocked. I was sure they'd come in first place or second place."

"If Helia's team only ranked third, then Valery's team definitely got first place this year."

"Which team could have defeated Helia's team? Besides Valery's team, I cannot think of any other teams with that capability!"

The students there mumbled to each other as Eve named the other students in Helia's team, and all of them turned out to be ordinary magic students, which surprised some people there.

"Helia is the only student from an elite class in their whole team… No wonder why they only got third place. But I cannot imagine why she would agree to help these people that are clearly a burden."

"What are you talking about? She does this all the time and still managed to achieve second place for all of them."

A few moments later, Eve continued to announce the second place, and when the students heard the results, their eyes widened with shock with many of them outright shouting out loud.

"Ranked second, led by team leader Valery—"

"What?!"

"Impossible!"

"Valery's team only placed second?! Then who is first?!"

"Silence!" The teachers there shouted at the students.

The students were in disbelief. How could Valery's team that is fully stacked with elite students be second place?

Meanwhile, Valery and her team tried their best to look as calm as possible while they listened to their name being called, which only made them feel even more embarrassed.

'Who is it?! Which team is first?!' Valery gritted her teeth in frustration.

"Last but not least, the two-man team that has managed to achieve first place in this year's Wilderness Training Course, amassing a total of 66 million points, congratulations to Leo Magnus from Knight Class 2-A and Nina Wraith from Magic Class 2-A for this grand achievement!"

"WHAT?!"

Countless students exclaimed out loud after hearing the results, and the students near Leo immediately turned to look at him with wide eyes.

"It really had been Leo all along…" Kevin mumbled in a dazed voice.

"Unbelievable… How did they acquire 66 million points with just two people? That doesn't make any sense!" Jennifer said.

"This is all because of that Fiend Warrior! Without it, he wouldn't have achieved first place! I'm definitely going to make an official complaint about this!" Erik gritted his teeth, his gaze filled with anger as they stared at Leo.

The entire auditorium was in an uproar after the identity of the first team was revealed to the students.

Although the students there were aware of what Leo was capable of, they still couldn't believe it.

"Quiet down!" Eve suddenly yelled, causing the atmosphere there to tremble.

The students quickly went silent.

"Leo, come to the stage." Eve said to him a moment later.

Leo stood from his seat and quietly walked down to the stage under the watchful gaze of every student and teacher there.

Once he was on the stage, Eve said to him, "I'm sure you have a thing or two to say to everyone here."

He nodded and took her spot behind the microphone a moment later.

After taking a deep breath, Leo spoke into the microphone, "I wanted to share this occasion with my teammate Nina Wraith, who had been a great help throughout the whole training course. Unfortunately, she's busy with other stuff and couldn't make it here. Without her assistance, I wouldn't be in this position right now."

"And in order to celebrate this monumental achievement, I will be doing something special. While we were looking for a place to farm our points, we stumbled upon this mysterious cave with powerful monsters such as Black Wyverns, and deep within this cave we found a secret passage."

"We didn't really expect much when we first found this secret passage, but at the end of this passage was a hidden magic circle that had teleported us to a secret room within the cave."

Although the students were still shocked, they quickly became interested in Leo's story and perked their ears with great focus on their faces.

"Inside this secret cave was some kind of trial that somebody had set up. The trial automatically activated when we entered this room, and we were suddenly surrounded by many powerful A-Rank monsters."

"Nina and I fought with all of our might, and after what felt like an eternity, we finally defeated all of the monsters and cleared the trial, but it was a really close call."

"After clearing the trial, we were rewarded for our effort."

Leo proceeded to retrieve a wooden box and placed it in front of him.

"This was the reward we received. Unfortunately, there was only one reward, so we had to decide who would get it. In the end, out of the kindness in her heart, Nina decided to give the treasure to me because she believed that I needed it more than her."

He opened the box and revealed the golden fruit lying within the box.

The students and teachers there swallowed nervously after seeing this treasure, as this was their first time seeing such a treasure.

"According to the person who left this treasure behind, this treasure is known as the Fruit of Magic Awakening, which will grant anyone who cannot use magic the ability to use magic."

"WHAT?!"

Almost everyone there exclaimed in shock after hearing the name of the treasure from Leo's mouth.

Many of them couldn't believe it, but Leo's story was too convincing, not to mention the unique treasure before their very eyes.

While the spectators were shocked numb, Leo continued to speak, "On this fateful day in this auditorium and before all of you, I am going to consume this Fruit of Magic Awakening and become a sorcerer!"

And before anybody there could even react, Leo grabbed the Fruit of Magic Awakening and brought it towards his mouth without any hesitation.

"NO!"

"STOP!"

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!"

"STOOOOP!"

The teachers and students there shouted as their hearts experienced sharp pain due to panic and extreme stress, and some of them even rushed onto the stage to stop Leo.

However, they were all too late, as Leo swiftly stuffed the Fruit of Magic Awakening into his mouth and chewed on it as though he had been starving for weeks.

The Fruit of Magic Awakening disappeared into Leo's mouth within a few bites right before their eyes.

The entire auditorium turned dead silent afterward as everybody there stared at Leo with disbelief on their faces and their bodies frozen like a stone statue.
