Chapter 56 The School Dormitory
Sylvia's POV:
As soon as I finished my words, Rufus was stunned. Then the atmosphere around us stiffened again.
I was too straightforward, and I couldn't help regretting it.
"It's not that I don't want to stay here," I said tentatively, looking at him cautiously.
"Then why do you prefer to stay in the school dormitory?" Rufus' hand holding the spoon froze in midair. There was no emotion in his voice when he asked.
He didn't look unhappy. In fact, he looked patient. But my heart was inexplicably restless.
"It's just that... it's too troublesome to go back and forth. And I want to fit in the class and concentrate on training," I explained.
But I knew very well that they were just my excuses. The real reason was that I found that I was already attracted to Rufus. I had to stop it before my feelings for him deepened. And the most direct and effective way was to stay away from him.
Rufus didn't object anymore. He just agreed in a low voice, as if he didn't care at all.
While eating the porridge, I felt my heart ached a little. Why didn't he try to continue persuading me? Maybe if he persuaded me a little more, I would decide to stay here.
There was no further conversation between us. When I finished eating, he just told me to have a good rest and left. He looked very calm, but I felt that he was a little unhappy.
The next day, Rufus didn't come to see me. He only asked Maya to take me to the academy. I was disappointed for no reason, but I immediately discarded such a feeling in my heart. Rufus was a busy person, so it was normal that he didn't come.
When I arrived at the academy, my mood lightened up again, and I became excited. I never thought that a day would come that I would get the chance to go to the Royal Military School. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
At this moment, the square of the academy was crowded with people, and everyone looked very excited. Everyone was waiting for the rankings and placement to be announced.
"Hi, Sylvia!" Harry came over and greeted me. And just like the others, he also wanted to discuss the rankings with me. "What do you think is your rank?"
"I don't know," I answered, shaking my head. Then I turned to look at the big screen at the center of the square. The rankings would be shown there later. "I guess the first place must be Blair."
"I think so too. Actually, he is very mysterious. I don't know which pack he comes from, and he doesn't seem to have any close friends. But his strength is terrifying." Harry agreed with my guess. His tone had a hint of respect and awe.
Thinking of how Blair passed the three rounds of tests effortlessly, I had a feeling that he hadn't shown his full strength yet.
Speaking of him, I looked around but didn't see him. I felt a little strange. "Why isn't he here yet?" "Do you mean Blair? Maybe he's just late." Harry curled his lips carelessly and sighed. "Sure enough, masters can be willful. I really hope I can enter Class A, so I can receive specialized elite training. Unfortunately, there are only ten vacancies in Class A. I'm praying hard I can make it there."
He put his hands together and began to pray. I didn't expect such an arrogant werewolf to have such a side, so I couldn't help chuckling. "You performed quite well in all three rounds. You definitely have a chance to enter Class A."
"Well, you too. After all, you won first place in the last test," Harry said with a smile, looking at me.
"But I only ranked eighth in the speed test, and my performance in the strength test was only okay. You were there, and you saw it yourself. Although the specific scores have not been released yet, many students were better than me on that test." As I said this, I was also a bit frustrated.
"But maybe those students have poor scores in other tests," Harry said to comfort me.
"Stop dreaming!"
A woman's voice interrupted our conversation. When I turned my head, I saw Cherry standing not far away, sneering at me.
"Have you forgotten who you are?" Cherry asked in a voice dripping with sarcasm.
But I just ignored her because at this moment the big screen lit up, and the rankings were finally displayed.
