“Besides, we’ve lived here for three years. There’s only one month left. And isn’t Joanna just one person? What does she need with such a big villa? We didn’t touch her room. Can’t we just live together like before p>
Lucas was practically roaring, completely unable to accept this outcome.
But the petite Noelle standing across from him didn’t budge an inch.
She opened her smart device and displayed a data chart.
“Lucas, housing assignments are based on rankings. That’s always been school policy. You lived here for three years because you were always number one. But this exam? I’m extremely disappointed. And you’re still making excuses for your mistakes? What do you mean you didn’t perform well? If you’re careless now, you’ll miss the SAT by one point. Do
you have any idea how many people one point can separate you from? This dungeon run-were you the one calling the shots? Your search at the start was completely disorganized. Especially you, Bruce. You’re a scout-type class. How could you fail at basic clue analysis? And during the later fights, your combat data dropped by 52.42% compared to your usual performance. Is something on your mind? And you, Rhoda. You’ve done this dungeon before. How did you not remember a single thing about the strategy? Making the same mistakes on the same type of content you’ve already seen? I can’t believe this is the combat discipline of an S-rank talent. Cedric, did I not call your name? You pulled aggro five times in the dungeon. Every time, Lucas had to bail you out. That cost the team a total of 14 minutes. And finally, Neil. You kept overhealing. Do you have some kind of compulsion where everyone has to be at full health? That wastes your healing output. If you can’t manage your mana properly, it means you’re burning through mana potions way too fast. In a prolonged fight, you’ll build up resistance and won’t be able to drink any more.
“Then you can’t heal at all. You understand? You’re a team. After a performance like this, you need to reflect and get back to your best form before the SAT p>
Despite being only five-foot-four, Noelle commanded the presence of someone eight feet tall.
After that scolding, these talented kids all hung their heads.
They really had made a lot of mistakes.
The problems Noelle had called out were things they had realized themselves.
It was just that this was so different from before.
How had they fallen this far?
Was it really just because one person was missing?

A certain figure flashed through all of their minds-Joanna.
Finally, Bruce spoke up.
“I … I don’t believe Joanna is that cold-hearted. I’m going to wait here for her p>
Noelle’s brow furrowed deeply.
“Wait for what? Joanna isn’t the one keeping you from living here. It’s school policy. Now pick up your things and come with me p>
Noelle summoned a few robots.
As the robots approached, Bruce startled like a frightened animal and bolted.
Noelle frowned again.
“What’s wrong with him p>
Neil’s expression tightened as he explained, “Ms. Howard, Bruce’s parents were both powerful players. He only had two older sisters. When he was six, the dimension he lived in was counterattacked by the Machine Faction. Both his parents died in battle. It left him with severe psychological trauma. He’s terrified of anything mechanical and avoids it whenever he can p>
Drake had known all of this.
Noelle had only just taken over this class and wasn’t aware.
She frowned, feeling sympathy for the boy.
In this era, “Hero Mother” created many lives, but they didn’t give children much love. Only powerful players who had contributed cosmic value would actually raise their children. Bruce was a textbook example of a privileged kid.
Who would have thought that a child from such a happy family would suffer such tragedy?
“Alright, I’ll make note of all this. I’ll add a highlight in his file later p>
Every cog needed to be placed in the right position. You couldn’t deliberately damage them.
Noelle would keep that in mind.
After that, they had the robots move the luggage to Room 1444.
In a place where space wasn’t exactly scarce, this dorm felt unbearably small to them.

One living room with bedrooms on either side. Each bedroom was only about 130 square feet, barely enough for a bed.
The only other space was a small closet by the door.
Two of the bedrooms didn’t even have windows. No sunlight at all.
The bedrooms didn’t have private bathrooms either. They would have to use the communal restrooms and showers.
Forget about a dining room, training room, home theater, or garden.
Now if they wanted to train, they’d have to use the public training facility.
This was treatment they had never experienced before.
From the moment Neil saw the room number 1444, he felt uncomfortable all over. Walking inside and seeing the cramped space made him feel like he was suffocating.
