As they got closer and closer to the cliff�s edge, the team escorting Mark couldn�t hold out any longer, so they began to teleport away. Soon after this, Mark followed suit.�

Shirone continued to run despite over half of the students no longer being on the cliff. And due to that, the team who was keeping pace with Shirone felt their blood dry up.

If they kept going, they were going to fall off the cliff. With two steps left to the cliff�s edge, the operation team cast teleportation.�

But despite the close distance, Shirone kept moving forward. Fear was of no hindrance to him, who understood the nature of the danger.

Shirone knew that as long as he could keep could running forward on foot, he could make up for the time he lost due to his condition.

�The competition isn�t over yet!�

Despite the fierce mental battle happening between the competitors, in the eyes of the spectators watching from afar, it simply looked like they were busy jumping off.

�I�m not teleporting until I start falling down.�

Despite the edge of the cliff being one step in front of him, Shirone�s body did not disappear with a flash. Seeing him so close to the edge, the hearts of those watching thumped loudly.

And their eyes widened.

�He jumped off��

Shirone jumped off the edge, as far as he could, and into the sky.

The weightlessness of floating. Strong winds shook his body and mountain birds flew in flocks, dozens of meters beneath his feet.

Shirone grit his teeth and focused on teleporting. At the critical point of the leap, his body finally jetted off with a flash.

Shirone was the last to get off the cliff, and as the people ahead started to get ready for the second round of teleportations, the rankings got overturned. The group that started first sagged to the rear.

Shirone made up for his late start� But above all else, he was able to get ahead of Mark by a narrow margin.

�Wha��

Mark freaked out when Shirone suddenly popped up in front of him.�

�What the hell?!�

�How late did he start to overtake me in the first cycle of teleports?!�

Of course, they were still on their first turn, so the chances of the rankings getting reversed still existed, but the fact that the first operation went down the drain ticked Mark off.

�You weasel! Stop right there!�

With a hair width of a difference, Shirone and Mark cast teleportation magic almost simultaneously.

10 minutes before the start of the promotion exam.

A girl headed towards the training ground with a gloomy face.

Maria Earlin.

She was the third daughter of the House of Earlin, which was a 3rd-class noble family. She was a 19-year-old talent who entered the Alpheas Magic Academy after waking up to her magic talent early.

Although she was now stuck in Class 7, it was not as if she never stood out from the beginning.

She entered the academy at the young age of 10 and has since then been fighting fiercely to rank up.

But when Maria entered Class 7 at the age of 15, she was so happy she felt like she could fly. But her happiness was short-lived as her fear of the competition grew. JrNovels.com
