Necromancer: I Am A Disaster Chapter 56 - No Suspense; Provincial Top Scorer

Lin Moyu appeared at the entrance of the Trial Tower. Xia Xue, Zuo Mei, Wang Zihao, and Feng Xiu stood beside him.

The entrance to the Trial Tower had already closed.

“The combat-type examination has concluded. Examinees, please rest and wait for the final results.” The examiner’s voice echoed.

No one left. Every year, the final results were announced shortly after the examination ended, so the examinees waited with anticipation.

For combat-type class users, results consisted of two parts: points and evaluation.

Top academies not only had requirements for class, level, and points, but also placed heavy emphasis on evaluation. The higher the academy’s rank, the stricter its requirements.

At Xiajing Academy, the benchmark for combat-class candidates was level 15, 10,000 points, and an excellent evaluation.

Other top 20 academies might be more flexible with level and points, but all demanded an excellent evaluation.

If one aimed to enter a top academy, evaluation was critical. For those targeting ordinary academies, reaching the points threshold alone was often sufficient.

Examinees who didn’t enter the Battle-Space were evaluated by provincial examiners. Those who did enter were assessed by high-ranking figures of the Shenxia Empire.

To Shenxia, examinees capable of entering the Battle-Space were considered geniuses—worthy of extra attention.

In Xiajing City, Meng Anwen, Bai Yiyuan, and several other top powerhouses of the Shenxia Empire reviewed the events in the Battle-Space.

They closely observed the performances of Lin Moyu and the other examinees.

This year was special.

Due to the invasion of the Abyss’s power, the Battle-Space had undergone a great upheaval.

As a result, their scrutiny was even more intense.

At that time, Lin Moyu entered their sight.

“It turns out he was the one who turned the tide. Remarkable.”

“Necromancer... I’ve heard of that class. It’s the new one that emerged from Xihai City’s No. 1 High School in Jiangning Province.”

“That’s right. I was planning to keep an eye on him during the great examination, but I never imagined he’d be this powerful.”

“His class is strong, no doubt. But he must have awakened a powerful talent, too. The synergy is astonishing.”

“He’s far beyond his peers, And his character is also pretty good.”

“Calm and decisive. With that kind of power and temperament, he has what it takes to become a top-tier powerhouse.”

One after another, words of praise flowed—all directed at Lin Moyu.

His performance had been too striking to ignore. While others hesitated or fled, it was Lin Moyu who stood firm and turned the situation around. He singlehandedly shattered the Abyss’s plans.

In comparison, the other examinees faded into the background. There was little of note among them.

Still, those few who had stood with Lin Moyu displayed admirable courage.

“This year’s evaluation... it’s going to be tricky.”

“What’s tricky about it? Those who ran are cowards. Once they hit the battlefield, they’ll be the first to break ranks. They’re unreliable.”

“That’s too harsh. They’re still just teenagers.”

“Lin Moyu is unquestionably excellent. As for the rest, we’ll need to deliberate.”

These top-tier powerhouses held the power to shape the futures of the examinees.

In the past, these examinees would have all been considered prodigies.

But this year, due to Lin Moyu’s presence, their performances seemed utterly lackluster.

Comparison was the thief of joy

Lin Moyu was like a blazing star, eclipsing everyone else.

After a short wait, the final results were announced.

A massive light curtain shimmered into view, suspended in the air.

No. 1, Lin Moyu, points: 34,605, evaluation: excellent.

Lin Moyu’s name stood boldly at the very top.

A stir wept through the crowd.

Lu Yun sprang to his feet, his weathered face twisting with joy and disbelief, “No. 1! The top scorer!”

His fingers trembled. His student had just claimed the title of Jiangning Province’s top scorer.

To Lu Yun, this was a moment of unmatched honor.

“Congratulations, Old Lu!”

“Old Lu, you really hit the jackpot this time! You’ve got bragging rights for the next decade!”

“Two decades, easily.”

“First there was Su Qianxing, then Lin Mohan last year… and now a provincial top scorer.”

“Xihai No. 1 High School is in the spotlight again.”

Xia Xue aimed a smile at Lin Moyu, “Dummy Lin, you really did it. Provincial top scorer. Congratulations.”

For once, there was no trace of defiance in her voice, no hint of rivalry in her eyes.

Lin Moyu returned a faint smile, “Thanks.”

At the fifth round, Lin Moyu already knew that the title of provincial top scorer was his for sure.

The result was exactly as expected.

Yet, when the scores were announced, he still felt a small surge of excitement.

Xia Xue stared at him in surprise, “You actually know how to smile? You look good when you smile. Why don’t you do it more often?”

She studied him like she’d just discovered a new continent.

The second-place result was also announced.

No. 2, Xia Xue, points: 7,600, evaluation: excellent.

But with Lin Moyu’s overwhelming lead, Xia Xue’s impressive performance didn’t cause much of a commotion.

Still, her evaluation was also excellent.

Lu Yun’s excitement flared once more.

Envious glances from other principals landed on him like arrows. First place and second place—both from his school.

It was the kind of achievement others could only dream of.

No.3, Feng Xiu, points: 6,700, evaluation: excellent.

No. 4, Zuo Mei, points: 6,325, evaluation: excellent.

No. 5, Wang Zihao, points: 6,300, evaluation: failed.

The moment his name appeared, Wang Zihao’s face went pale. Failed. His evaluation was failed.

Shock turned to panic.

That single word meant rejection from Xiajing Academy—no, from any of the top 20 academies in the Shenxia Empire.

“Why?! Why is my evaluation failed?! This is unfair! Completely unfair! You’re just being biased!” Wang Zihao finally couldn't hold it in and bellowed.

Suddenly, a beam of light descended upon him. In an instant, he vanished from sight.

“Wang Zihao has violated the examination’s rules—expelled!"
