Beast Evolution

Ray walked slowly and reached the hallway but a student bumped into him and he fell to the ground.

"Are you blind" Ray shouted before looking at the person who hit him.

"Am very sorry" a petite girl said to him and quickly ran away.

'What!!, she told me sorry and left me on the ground, but she's beautiful, I'm going to find her later' Ray smirked.

'What is wrong with me... this is the side effects of not having any girl to talk to while growing up'.

Ray helped himself up and walked back to his room.

"Hey did you see that pervert" a boy said to his friend while they walked past Ray.

"No I bet he won't be able to leave his room after what he did at the test" both of the boys laughed as they walked past Ray.

"I wonder who they are talking about, it's can't be me cause I didn't even take the test" Ray said as he entered his room.

"Hey Ivan"

"Sup" Ivan stood up to listen to Ray.

"Did something happen to someone at the test, I heard the students talking about a pervert who is staying in his room" Ray said making Ivan to face down.

"Is something wrong?" Ray asked.

That was when Ray put all the pieces together, Ivan was staying in his room so he definitely is the pervert, but what happened.

Ivan looked at Ray with sad eyes, "I kinda mess up in the test, I didn't something terrible but it wasn't my fault".

"What happened, did you do bad in the test?"

"No I didn't do bad, I did something by mistake"

"What did you do?" Ray asked.

"Uhmm, remember the test of precision, we were asked to use a bow"

"Yes and what happened"

"well, when it was my turn to try, a girl was done with hers and I slipped and fell".

"You slipped and fell, what is wrong with that" Ray said.

"I slipped and fell on the girl and in the process, I kinda tore her clothes so I wouldn't fall on the ground"

"You did what..." Ray burst into laughter in front of Ivan making him to frown his face.

"It was a mistake, I didn't mean to do that" Ivan said quickly.

"I know, I know it's just really funny, I would have loved to see it happen" Ray continued laughing.

"Which girl is that?" Ray asked.

"I don't know her name, but she's really good at using arrows" Ivan replied.

"Well, it was a mistake you shouldn't blame your self and stay indoors, you can't do it forever you know"

"I know..."

Ray and Ivan was interrupted by a voice that spoke in their head.

"Everyone come to the dinning hall immediately for the results of your assessment test"

"Did you hear that?" Ivan asked.

"Yes".

All the students were returning to the dinning hall one after the other, the ones who were in the school were the first ones to get there.

After all the students had taken their seats, the knights stepped in with a piece of paper in their hands.

Ray looked around and could see some students were nervous, some of them had sweat dripping from their forehead and some of them even prayed, while waiting in anticipation.

"Hey Ivan, is the test that big a deal, why are students afraid?" Ray asked.

"What don't you know, your assessment test goes a long way, first the rank, the knights will pay special attention to the ranking system and they also give extra lesson to students with potential".

"Really, well since I'm last place, that means no extra lesson, no one would pay attention to me, that's nice by me" Ray said.

"Nice, how is that nice, you won't be getting better and your chances of becoming a royal knight is slim to none"

"Royal knights, what are royal knights?" Ray asked.

"Okay students" Authur said on the stage causing all the students to focus on him, he was on stage along with other senior knights and each of them were holding a box in their hand.

"We will be now be announcing the results of the assessment test, when you hear your name step up to the stage where you will be assigned to your designated class and receive your rank from one of the following senior knights"

One by one the students were called up to the stage and was assigned to one of the classes, they were four classes in total and the students were given a small badge with their rank and class on it.

Some of the students were happy because of the high rank they received while some students were depressed after receiving a low rank.

Ray looked as all the students, they were either sad or happy, Ray didn't really care about the rank because he wasn't interested in the ranking.

Arya was finally called to stage, Ray listened because he wanted to see what rank she would receive.

Arya was ranked 31 and Ray was happy for her, Jack and Lily were 11 and 21 respectively, while the silver hair girl Leia was 3rd place which was surprising to Ray.

The first place was called and Ray was shocked, the boy who escaped without a trace on the night he saw Leia was ranked 1st place and a boy with large build was ranked 2nd.

Ray was getting interested in the ranking untill his name was called and he lost all hope.

"Ray" Authur called.

Ray stepped up to the stage and was given a badge which says swordsman in probation.

'What does this means' Ray thought as he looked at the badge.

"Ray rank 103" Authur shouted making all the students to burst into laughter.

Ray knew why he shouted it, he wanted all the students to know, Ray accepted his rank and went to his seat, he didn't even bother about the random comment students have him when he was going back to his seat.

Ivan was ranked 100 and was pretty sad, Ray was cheering him up and he was surprised, why would someone who was below him be cheering him up instead of being angry.

Ray knew his current rank wouldn't last, he would do all it takes to climb up to the top and show the other students that he was the best with the help of this system, but he didn't know how the ranking work.

"Ivan can someone change their rank?" Ray asked him.

"Yes but it's only through duel and you can't challenge someone who is ten ranks above you"

"Take you for instance, you are ranked 103 so you can't challenge a student that is ranked 90 unless you upgrade your rank, and it must be an official duel where people will watch you defeat the students fair and square" Ivan explained.

"So I have to rank up little by little, that's sad but okay"

"You think it's easy to rank up, we are first year student without any advance training, so before the ranking begin to change it would be a month or two after we have completed basic training"

"Basic training..."

"Yes, swords training, you are in the swords class right?" Ivan asked

"Yes, but in probation"

"Probation, it means they don't know if you're good in using a sword, if you're not you would be transferred to another class" Ivan said

"What if a student is good at archery and is place in the swords class"

"You can apply for a change, but you will be tested if you can apply for the class you want to move in"

The announcement ceremony was over and the students all returned to their rooms.

Ray didn't even know if Sofia was called or not so he asked her.

"Hey Sofia, what rank are you?"

"Leave me alone" Sofia said.

"She's 97" Leia said making Sofia to look at her angrily.

"97... I thought you were a noble, noble usually have more training when they are little than normal people right" Ivan said.

"Well I didn't, I didn't even want to become a knight" Sofia shouted.

"Then why did you apply for the knight school" Ray asked her.

"I wanted to prove my family wrong" Sofia said.

"About what?"

"To prove to them that I am useful" Sofia said softly.
