Ten more days passed. Joanna finally saved up 200,000 affinity points.

She spent all of them at once and got another batch of attribute points from Nighthowl and Alwyn.
Now, there was only one day left before the SAT.
Her level had reached Level 16.
Still too late. Compared to the top geniuses, she was still two or three levels behind.
But at least her attributes were refreshed again. Between feedback from her bound partners, plus fruit, natural foods, and potions, her stats had climbed to a new peak.
Vitality 2521, Strength 2612, Agility 2609, Spirit 3009.
That was the limit.
She had pushed herself as far as possible. She had done everything she could.
Whether she could enter Alliance Academy now depended on luck.
Still, breaking free from being an ordinary person in the Space Alliance was already guaranteed.
It was the last day before the SAT. The school began making preparations to ensure everyone stayed in good condition.
Joanna hadn’t entered a classroom for an entire month. The last time she came was the day she was forced out of her team.
Not every student in the class was strong. To make sure each teacher could focus on one top team, team assignments in freshman year were done by selection.
If you got into a top team once, your next pick would be pushed to teams ranked 30th or lower,
and so on.
But after three years, teams were reshuffled. Whether students improved or fell behind. depended on their effort.
Thanks to Noelle’s hard work over the past month, everyone had improved a little.
But it was too late.

“Why is the SAT already here? I’m not even level 10 yet. I won’t get into college. I’ll end up doing logistics work,” someone cried.
“If I knew this, I would’ve paid for power-leveling. I was so close! I just ran out of time p>
“Joanna, have you been grinding dungeons nonstop? We haven’t seen you in ages. Wow-did you complete a full set? Even your accessories are silver-tier! Silver accessories cost way more than normal gear p>
“Did you hear? Lucas’s team joined the Amshien Group. They’re set now p>
“Kayden learned five Gold-tier skills and got carried to Level 15. Even with crappy talent, he’ll still score well on the SAT. Must be nice being rich p>
Joanna had almost no affinity points left, just a few hundred. With the Spider Lady’s hat covering her face, she looked mysterious. Even so, it couldn’t stop her classmates from gathering around.
Students filled the seats beside her, at least those who had never spoken badly about her and were willing to get close.
She really was the center of attention.
Joanna wasn’t arrogant. She chatted with everyone, guessing SAT questions together. She even listened with interest to gossip about Kayden and Lucas.
Before long, Lucas and his four teammates walked in.
The classroom fell completely silent.
Dawnbreaker had once been the unquestioned number one in the class.
But in the last monthly exam, they ranked 34th.
The gap was huge.
Another team in the class, usually ranked second, was now 28th in the entire grade, even higher than Dawnbreaker.
Still, that team believed they couldn’t beat Lucas’s group.
After all, Lucas’s team was full of S-rank talents. Their poor performance last time was likely due to a sudden teammate change and clumsy mistakes.
Some even whispered that Rhoda wasn’t as strong as Joanna, dragging the team down. Most students supported the four hotties and didn’t want their reputations damaged. Each of them had their fan group.

Now, the former number one and the current number one faced each other again.
The atmosphere froze.
Joanna didn’t care at all.
This time, she didn’t even bring Nighthowl or Alwyn. There wasn’t enough space in the classroom anyway. But she felt completely confident.
Meeting her former teammates again felt unreal.
So these ungrateful traitors joined the Amshien Group?
What a mistake! They had fallen into the trap.
Their tired faces said everything. Each of them looked pale and drained. They had clearly been pushed hard.
They had improved, though. They wore more gear now. Bruce even held a dagger. By its shape, it looked like Traitor’s Blade.
How fitting! A mocking smile appeared on Joanna’s lips.
Just then, Noelle entered the classroom.
“Everyone, please check in now,” she said. “Confirm attendance. Tonight, no one is allowed to leave campus. Tomorrow morning, the Chromatic Star’s Global SAT begins. The first dungeon will open p>
Joanna tapped “Check In” on her communicator.
No one was absent.
Noelle continued explaining precautions, though everyone had heard them many times before.
Still, most students were distracted. Especially the former top team. Their last month had been rough.
They ran Desolate Castle every day. Once familiar with it, they could reach the top ten within ten hours, but clearing it still took a long time. Sometimes, it even went over the limit, costing them HP.
