Even Dark had never received this kind of treatment in any of his previous classes.
Three teachers and one parent stood at the podium, handing out test papers in order from the lowest score upward...
In that era, when people stressed "reducing academic burdens" and advocated against publishing grades and rankings, such a practice was practically going against the tide.
However, Magic Spirits were ultimately different from actual human children. Their endurance was far greater than that of humans.
Under normal circumstances, two hours of sleep within a twenty-four-hour day was enough to leave them full of energy.
Even if they went without sleep for twenty-four hours straight, they could still maintain their basic condition.
Of course, merely maintaining their most basic condition was not suitable for studying.
As Dark passed the podium, he gave the Magic Spirits a slight nod before taking a seat in the corner to observe.
The Magic Spirits all secretly glanced in his direction.
Some were brimming with confidence, like Sylveon, while others were guilty and timid, like Munchlax.
However, Munchlax had only just been born, so poor grades would be understandable.
Just as Dark was thinking this, Mrs. Cook, the head tutor, spoke. "It has been over a month since I began tutoring you. Though you are not human, you are smarter than some of the human children I have taught in the past, and most of you have been very diligent. I have always believed that diligence brings rewards, and hard work brings gains. Hardworking people will always obtain what they desire. That is enough for the introduction. We will now announce the results, starting from last place."
The moment she finished speaking, the atmosphere in the classroom instantly froze.
The Magic Spirits had never expected the main event to arrive so early
