A murmur came from Connie-kun. However, Rias ignored it and continued, trying to keep her voice as steady as possible.

    "The overall score of each class, including Class A, is here."

    Then, instead of announcing it like earlier, she put up a piece of paper with everyone''s scores on it for some incomprehensible reason.

    Everyone shifted their gazes to the paper while audibly gasping in disbelief.

    ------Overall Ranking------

    Class E

    Arrival Rank 4 (100P)

    Mission Difficulty Level 10

    Achievement Rate 90%

    Overall Score - 900P

    Class D

    Arrival Rank 2 (150P)

    Mission Difficulty Level 12

    Achievement Rate 60%

    Overall Score - 1080P

    Class C

    Arrival Rank 3 (125P)

    Mission Difficulty Level 14

    Achievement Rate 80%

    Overall Score - 1400P

    Class B

    Arrival Rank 1 (200P)

    Mission Difficulty Level 16

    Achievement Rate 85%

    Overall Score - 2720P

    Class A

    Arrival Rank 5 (50P)

    Mission Difficulty Level 65

    Achievement Rate 140%

    She praised without holding back, hoping that the day would arrive where she would be standing on the same side as them, where she could keep a calm expression like they did right now.

    Relentlessly, Aris clapped her hands even if the scenery reflected in her eyes was too blurry to look at.

    Of course, Aris’ entry into Class A would mean... one of them would have to drop from class.

    This was an ironclad rule.

    ◆◆◆

    In the end, the score of Class A was summed up as ''Impossible to evaluate’.

    So the overall score ended up being—

    Class A

    Arrival Order 5 (50P)

    Mission Difficulty Level 82

    Achievement Rate 160%

    Overall Score - 6560P

    It was a score that substantially renewed what was possible in the outdoor classes.

    At the same time, had Allen not insisted on playing around when Godorfun had admitted his defeat, it would have been possible Class A to arrive at the villa first. So, even by the lowest standard possible, the score might have been at least—

    Class A

    Arrival Order 1 (200P)

    Mission Difficulty Level 70

    Achievement Rate 150%

    Overall Score - 21000P

    A preposterous score it might be, but because the base score was increased by four-fold depending on the arrival order, there was no room to bring it down.

    The Academy had raised their hands in defeat when they saw the numbers, stating that it was impossible to evaluate them with their current marking standard.

    Typically, they''d decide the score by the achievement rate, which topped at 100%. But the fact that Class A had surpassed the top — the 100% rate — by a mile in the Academy''s hypothesized simulation, the situation was bound to bring a headache to the invigilators’ side.

    In a more detailed explanation— up until the point of Bester''s base setup, the Academy had referred to their schemes and blueprints, and somehow managed to calculate the maximum possible score from there, surprised as they were. But when Leo''s magic sword, Jeu''s area healing magic, and Allen''s trick of instant paralysis were brought into the picture, they could no longer catch up with the absurdity.

    At the same time, the last aspects actually had to be kept as classified — Classified Level 4, which was equivalent to the military''s confidential secret — by the top brass of the Academy.

    Then there were the words of Allen Rovenne— "Who cares about the score, mark it however you want". Though he didn''t say it explicitly, the hidden sarcasm in those words, that ''If you think you can evaluate us, then do your best for the fall-out in doing so’, was proof of his overflowing and absolute confidence.

    And in the end, they certainly ended up as ''impossible to evaluate’.

    The Royal Academy— it was a prestigious academy, with history itself being proof of their unbeatable track record. Yet, for the first time in its history, they, the teachers’ association, were given the label of ''disqualified'' by the students of Class A.

    T/N - How should I say, they read too much into the line, but it also didn''t feel like they read too much for the comedy''s sake. Next chapter will be straight from the teacher''s meeting, where they had decided the score. Next arc, after 4 chapters, will be another interesting one---Allen saving the kingdom from crisis Arc! Well, not exactly overblown, but it''s certainly the crisis resolution time---dealing with a horde of some type of insect monster that, if hatched, will end up in hundreds of thousands in number, resulting in a war against them. Quite funny interactions, and development, and scenarios.

    E/N - I knew Allen''s stubbornness at the end would cost them though with how high their base score already was, it didn''t really matter anymore. It''s not as if the MC cares anyway. And I somehow find myself rooting for Aris, is it just me? Though that would mean someone from the current Class A would drop out of the class, so I''m a bit torn.
