Having a powerful lord as a father figure, what's wrong with just wanting to draw cards?

One punch, and the magic that was hit was shattered?!

The referee nearly dislocated his jaw.

Is there even a need for judgment?

The two judges gave Domi a score of 10 on the spot. Considering the age difference, it could have been higher, but unfortunately, the upper limit was only 10.

The other side was in a bit of a mess. Not only did they not get a chance to shoot, so they didn't get any skill points, but because of the age difference, their already limited points had to be reduced, and in the end they only got a minimum of three points...

The referee moved swiftly and caught the muscular man who had been sent flying into the air, preventing him from sustaining further injury and thus avoiding any impact on the subsequent battle.

If he hadn't encountered the monster Domi, he might have been able to put on a spectacular match with someone else.

The feeling of his feet touching the ground again was so reassuring, but as soon as he thought of what had just happened, his legs went weak involuntarily, and his eyes were filled with confusion and fear.

No one understood the oppressive feeling of that punch better than him; it was like Godzilla had hit him on the head!

Why not avoid it?

Because there's no way to avoid it!

Nats in the stands reacted just like the referee.

He actually thinks Domi is on the same level as him? If he said that out loud, he'd be laughed at for two and a half years! He'd better keep it to himself.

Having learned a lesson, Natsume began to re-examine himself.

What classes did you take?

Never believe other people's nonsense during class!

The winner can choose to go directly to the next round, and will also receive extra points as the champion. Domi did not hesitate and immediately asked the referee to bring up the next challenger... oh no, the victim.

Then, Nats numbly watched as Domi took down one kid with a single punch, until he won all five matches, scored a perfect 50 points, and then left in a haughty manner, terrifyingly unlike a human child.

Who would believe this thing is only twelve years old?! Is it a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex?

Bloomfield's cronies are truly terrifying... the two referees thought to themselves.

However, they soon realized that something was wrong.

Isn't the Brofeld family's talent supposed to be magic? Nobody told them they could be this strong just by their physical abilities without learning magic!

"Bloomfield is about to produce another unparalleled prodigy..."

Domi's entrance exam ended without any surprises, and he received 'freshman start-up funds'—5000 GPA points—based on his score.

Originally, one point was equal to 10 GPA points. A passing score of 30 points could only be exchanged for 300 GPA points. However, there was a hidden reward: if you achieved a perfect score, you could multiply the score by 10.

Domi doesn't yet have a concept of 5,000 GPAs, but judging from the envious and jealous looks from the upperclassmen around her, it's probably quite valuable.

After Domi left, an empty spot appeared in the arena, and Natsu was finally going to take the field.

A nervous heart, a nervous body, and trembling little hands.

Finally... we're going to have to confront these city folks.

Just because Domi can completely dominate them doesn't mean I can. I have to give it my all in every match.

Soon his opponent stepped onto the arena; he was a swordsman.

Natsu's mother was also a swordsman in her youth, so he has experience facing this kind of opponent.

Every thrust and slash from his opponent seemed to be anticipated by Nats, who could dodge in advance as if he had a premonition.

The referee in charge of Nats nodded repeatedly.

"This child has great potential."

Natsu's attacks are no less impressive than his body control. Like Domi, he uses his fists, but unlike Domi's micro-management and one-inch punch style, Natsu pursues the opposite: absolute violence!

Each punch he threw was filled with the beauty of power, and in just a few punches, he shattered the opponent's magic.

I ultimately got eight points, which is a very good score.

In the ensuing battle, Natsu fought with increasing intensity and ferocity, becoming like a blazing fire, overwhelming his opponent in terms of momentum.

This pent-up momentum reached its peak in the final match when Nats chose to become the champion.

The young man from the countryside looked exhausted, but he still stood proudly on the competition stage, his back straight. The sweat that represented the culmination of countless years of hard work had soaked the ground beneath his feet.

Nancy, who had finished and passed the exam a step earlier than Bina, had just stepped out of the arena when her legs seemed to move on their own towards the knight's exam hall, eager to see if the passionate young man had passed.

It would be best if everyone could pass.

Then she saw that fiery and powerful young man at the door, with a proud smile on his face, enduring a barrage of punches and kicks from a top student!

Nancy couldn't help but worry.

At this moment, the other spectators around him began to whisper among themselves, saying that Natsu had already fought to the last match, and based on the previous scores, if he could win this title defense match, he would very likely cross the hurdle of Class A in one go.

Students in the same grade will be assigned to five classes (A, B, C, D, and E) based on their exam scores, and will enjoy grade point rewards and more teaching resources as a result of their different grades.

Nancy was absolutely certain that she would be able to get into Class A. If the boy she had some connection with also got into Class A, wouldn't they both keep their promise and still be classmates?

This future holds a mysterious allure for young girls just beginning to experience love and unable to distinguish their feelings.

Under various stimuli, Nancy, who usually didn't want to attract attention, actually stood up, placed her hands in front of her cherry-like mouth, cupped them into a megaphone shape, took a deep breath, and then shouted out loud:

"Ignats! Good luck! We're going to get into the academy together!"

Nancy's voice reached Nats's ears.

Natsu grinned as he was being beaten: "Sorry, but I'm a person who values ​​promises the most!"

In an instant, Natsu seized the opening created by his opponent's high-intensity attack, and with boundless power bursting forth from his body, he roared and smashed his counter-punch into his opponent's face like a machine gun!

The atmosphere at the scene was ignited by Nats's outstanding performance!

"Yes! That's how we fight!"

"Go, go, go!"

"It's been a long time since I've felt this excited... cough cough..."

"Go Natsu! Go!!"

Cheers surged like waves, and more students and faculty joined the cheering.

The voices of the crowd seemed to truly transform into Natsu's power. A spark flew across his fist, the one that determined victory and staked everything, and in his final shout, he mimicked Domi and sent his opponent flying into the sky!

At that moment, everyone seemed to hallucinate hearing a dragon's roar...

Click!

With the magic shattered, the referee declared Natsu the winner of the title defense match! He scored more points, took the final step, and crossed the threshold of Class A.

That will be the most powerful group of students in this grade, and he is about to become one of them.

"Great!"

Nancy jumped up excitedly and ran off to find Natsu, her little leather boots clicking on the floor.

Natsu also saw the girl running towards him and gave her an incredibly sunny smile.

"We all got in."

Then he laughed and collapsed on the stage.

"Natsu!? Natsu! Is the teacher alright?"

"He's fine, just exhausted. Let's take him to the infirmary. Hey, you there, yes, you, take the junior with you."

In his hazy consciousness, these were the last things he heard.

Before he completely lost consciousness, only one thought remained in his mind—Nancy, she's such a good person…

Time flew by, and the sky gradually darkened.

As dusk fell, today's entrance exams came to a temporary end.

Fiery red light shone through the curtains of the infirmary, illuminating Nancy's sleeping face.

Nats, lying on the hospital bed, trembled slightly with his eyelashes. After struggling for a while, he opened his eyes. His whole body ached terribly, and it was extremely painful to even sit up.

Then he saw Nancy lying next to his bed.

So she's been with me all along. I must repay her properly in the future!

The commotion seemed to wake Nancy. She sat up, rubbing her sleepy eyes. Seeing that Natsu was finally awake, a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face.

"Natsu, you're finally awake! That's great!"

"What's the situation now?"

He was referring to his own match result.

Nancy pulled a student ID from her pocket and handed it to Natsu.

"Look, you're already a student in Class A now. We'll be classmates from now on!"

Nancy clutched the corners of her student ID card with both hands, squinted her eyes happily, and waved it in front of Natsu.

"Really?!" Natsu also seemed very surprised.

"Yes, really! It's true!"

"Then... I look forward to your guidance in the future!"

"Me too!"

After the two cheered for a while, Nancy helped Natsume walk towards the first-year boys' dormitory.

If they pass the exam and enter the academy on the first day, it means that these people will have two more days of free time, which they can use to recover from their injuries and also to explore this small city with a large academy.

Compared to the hard, sterile infirmary that smells of disinfectant, my own dormitory is much more comfortable.

Natsu didn't mind, but Nancy insisted that he get a better rest. She would tidy up the room, and Natsu could just move in with his bags.

The two helped each other to the luxurious four-story detached dormitory. Nats's dormitory was on the second floor, making it very convenient to go up and down.

Here's where it's worth mentioning—

Each student in Class A has a private dormitory room with one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom.

Students in other classes will have a harder time. The higher the grade, the more people will live together, with up to six people per dormitory room, a one-to-one recreation of the glorious past.

Nancy's housekeeping skills, while not top-notch, were certainly not bad, and she quickly tidied up the entire dormitory room.
