I Just Inherited The Arcane Emperor's Legacy-Novel



On the side was another stone slab. This slab was a little wider than the New Student Ranking. He looked at the top.

[Student Ranking]

It was the ranking for all of the students inside the academy. The range of the students on this ranking was a lot more different compared to the New Student Ranking. Everyone was so much stronger.

He looked through the entire ranking and was shocked by how strong the students were. He realized that he had grossly underestimated the academy. Out of all of the students on the ranking, there were 5 3rd Circle Aura Knights. He never thought there would be people who would be able to get to the 3rd Circle by themselves.

Even he was only able to get to the 3rd Star because he was aided by the tome. On top of that, he had the Elderwood Tree. If not for those, he would not be remotely close to how strong he was.

[5. Isabella Rhine, Early-Stage 3rd Circle Aura Knight, 3rd Year]

[4. Lucius Ravenspire, Early-Stage 3rd Circle Aura Knight, 3rd Year]

[3. Elysia Still, Early-Stage 3rd Circle Aura Knight, 3rd Year]

[2. Nathaniel Moon, Middle-Stage 3rd Circle Aura Knight, 3rd Year]

[1. Silas Wilson, Middle-Stage 3rd Circle Aura Knight, 3rd Year]

There were two people who were potentially as strong as him. He shook his head in astonishment. The academy had truly talented people.

After looking at the top, he looked all the way to the bottom. He wanted to see the requirement to stay on the ranking after his first year and still obtain resources. Even the person on the bottom was a Middle-Stage 2nd Circle Aura Knight.

He looked at this and wanted to think about it for a while but left to go to his class. He wanted to walk to his class leisurely while being on time but he had already spent 45 minutes to get to the hall and look at the rankings.

He left the building and walked along the path to go to the building he was supposed to be in. The Fermont Academic Building was one of the buildings that he had seen on the way to the dorms. It was only a 15-minute walk from where he was if he walked slowly.

He got to the hall with an entire hour to spare before his class would start.

He walked into the hall and saw the exact same setup as the one that he and Marcus had gone into. He walked along the chairs, looking for a good seat for himself. He was planning on reserving a seat for Marcus as well.

It wouldn't be a problem since he was the first person in the hall. There was only one other person other than him in the hall, and that was the instructor. The teacher for this class was someone that he knew – Maria.

She walked to Leo when she saw him come in.

"Leo, right?" She asked him. He nodded.

"You are one of the students that we are keeping our eye on. You have a lot of potential. If you need any help from us, don't hesitate to ask." She said.

He smiled. "Thanks a lot. But, if you don't mind me asking, why do you care if I succeed or not? I mean, if it's your passion as a teacher, I can understand, but is there another reason?" He asked her.

She sighed. "You will know in all due time. Maybe in a few months, or even longer based on how strong you are. It won't concern you until you are strong enough. So you don't have to worry about it. Just become strong, and you will find out." She said.

He frowned inwards because of how vague and useless the answer was but kept a smile on his face.

"Of course."

She then said, "So, why are you up so early? There's an entire hour before class starts."

He shrugged. "I don't sleep that much. I was also up to see the New Student Rankings. I just came from there."

"Oh, then you must have seen your own ranking. Congratulations on that!" She said.

"Thank you. I was going to ask someone, but now that I found you, I'll just ask you. How is resource distribution to those ranks going to work? Would I have to collect it somewhere? And when does it even start?"

She laughed at these questions. "You don't worry. I will go through all of that in the class today. Just take a seat and wait for it to start."I think you should take a look at

He nodded and picked a seat somewhere in the middle of the hall. He then paid his head back and closed his eyes. He started training since he had nothing better to do.

After 30 minutes, people finally started to come into the hall. The first person he recognized was Lyra. She was one of the earliest students in the hall after Leo. She saw Leo sitting in the middle. Leo waved at her and she waved back and walked toward him.

When she got to where he was, she asked, "Is this seat free?"

He nodded. "Please, have a seat."

While they were waiting for the hall to slowly fill up, Leo asked her about the rankings.

"So, I looked at the rankings today. Congratulations on your rank." He said. Lyra was the 7th ranked person in the rankings.

Lyra blushed a little before maintaining her composure. "Thank you. But you did a lot better than me. I am not even surprised that you are that strong."

Leo waved off the compliment. "It was just luck. So, are you excited about today's class?"

She nodded. "Yes. How about you?"

He nodded back. "I am."

As they were talking, a person sat next to Leo. It was Marcus.

"Where were you yesterday? You went incognito?" He asked Leo.

"I was training. There wasn't really anything better to do," he said. "What did you do?"

Marcus sighed. "Nothing, really. I just tried to explore the academy, but nothing was open. I went back to my dorm after a couple of hours of doing nothing."

Leo chuckled. At this point, he realized that he recognized someone passing by. He called out to that person.

"Madison," he said.

Madison was walking down the hall to go and sit in the front when she heard someone call her name. She was initially confused since she didn't know anyone in the academy, but when she saw who it was, her confusion changed to excitement.

"Leo! You made it into the academy!" She said.

She walked toward the group while maintaining an expression of surprise. She was coming from the side where Lyra was sitting.

"Marcus and Lyra, this is Madison. She is a friend," he introduced her.

She waved to everyone. "Hi, I am Madison."

Lyra greeted her first. "Hello, Madison. I am Lyra. Pleased to make you an acquaintance," she said formally.

Madison instinctively curtsied a little when she heard the greeting. Before she could even show her embarrassment, Marcus spoke.

"I'm Marcus." He said.

"You can grab a seat," Leo said.

Madison looked at where she was standing and took a seat beside Lyra. She was going to speak again, but she was interrupted by Maria.

"We will now start class."
