Bloodline of Gods: The Genius at Olympus Academy!

Chapter 59 59. Results

No. 1 Oliver McKinley

No. 2 Orphalon Melthyr

Aiden didn't know what to say. He just looked at his friend in utter disbelief.

Oliver just rubbed his nose, a little proud of himself.

"I went through hell to get these results."

Aiden suddenly had to admit it. While he was trying to master his newly acquired Oliver had basically been living in the library.

Of course hard reviso alone would not be able t turn ut such outstanding results but

Aiden could acknowledge Oliver coming in first, but what was the deal with second place?

Orphalon Melthyr… If his memory was correct, then that was the name of the cyclops. A cyclops scored higher than him on the written exam? And not just higher than him, this cyclops had come second?!!?

What on earth was going on?

As Aiden was having these thoughts, a small commotion broke out among the nearby trainees, and it didn't take long for Aiden to figure out why.

As soon as he looked over, Aiden's eyes locked onto the massive figure of a giant that towered over all the other students.

As soon as Aiden saw Orphalon, his mouth twitched.

His appearance was truly strange. This giant cyclops was actually wearing glasses—or well, he was wearing a glass?

Imagine glasses, but with only one lens built into them. It was a strange sight to anyone who saw it.

But Orphalon didn't seem to care about any of the looks and continued to look at the board. When he saw the position of his name on the board, he suddenly frowned.

Orphalon looked around the crowd until his singular eye locked onto Oliver's figure.

The cyclops didn't waste another second and quickly walked towards Oliver, his steps booming along the hallway floor.

Eventually, the giant cyclops was now towering over Oliver. Although it didn't say anything, its mountain-like body brought a heavy suppression that made one feel on edge just by standing in its presence.

Even Aiden was slightly on edge and secretly stirred his divinity, ready to act at any given moment to protect Oliver from the cyclops.

But just as everyone was waiting for something to happen, Orphalon suddenly bowed his head and stretched out his hand as he asked in a booming voice, "Please be my study partner!"

Oliver, as well as everyone in the hallway, was completely shocked and silent.

What did he just say? Study partner?

Oliver looked at the cyclops and carefully asked, "Orphalon, I'm not quite sure what you're asking?"

When Orphalon heard this, he tilted his head to the side, slightly confused.

"I thought it was quite obvious though? You're the first hero I met that is better at studying than me, of course, I would like your help so we can help each other study and improve. I believe it will be of great help to accomplish my dream of becoming a legendary scholar."

Aiden heard Orphalon's words, and his eyes widened.

'Hold on, did this guy just say scholar?'

Aiden suddenly felt like he was dreaming! A cyclops, as a scholar? What was going to happen next? Was Zeus suddenly going to declare himself celibate?

It was such a stark juxtaposition of concepts that Aiden didn't even know where to start.

Aiden suddenly understood the feeling of those high school coaches on Earth who forced students to join their sports team.

What?! You're 7ft tall and a freshman? Follow me to the sports department right now, we're getting you on the basketball team!

What?! You want to study?! Boy! Put down those books and pick up a ball, we're going to the league! The Lakers are calling!

A cyclops becoming a scholar? Ignoring the fact that most cyclops have impaired mental abilities. Even if his mental abilities were up to par, it was simply a waste of talent!

Muscles that bulged and looked like they could smash a head in as easily as cracking an egg would not be used to wield a furious warhammer, but instead, be used to flip through books and scrolls, or endlessly stack scriptures high up on shelves.

Anyone who heard this thought it was a waste!

Orphalon didn't care about the strange looks he was receiving and asked Oliver slightly nervously.

Oliver looked at the strange cyclops and was slightly amused.

Since he had seen something so ridiculous, Oliver wanted to learn more about this cyclops. And the cyclops' scores were obviously the real deal. Studying with him would really bring him some benefits.

Stretching out his hand, Oliver shook Orphalon's hand as he spoke,

"Sure. It's never a bad thing to have an extra study partner, so why not?"

Aiden looked at both first and second place shaking hands and didn't know what to say.

Oliver had brought him a big surprise by coming in first place, and so did the fact that second place was a cyclops but even Raelia's score was a bit shocking,

No.5 Raelia

She had actually backed up her confident talk and coming directly in fifth.

He knew she was smart, but damn, everyone was scoring highly.

Aiden carried on looking down the ranking, trying to find his score when he saw something that made his knees go weak.

No. 25 Kain Sanguinos

"Fuck!"

A foul curse escaped his lips.

It couldn't be helped. Aiden could accept being dumber than a lot of people, but how could he accept being dumber than that crazy bastard!

There was something definitely wrong with the world.

Aiden kept looking and eventually saw his ranking.

No. 200 Aiden Evans

Aiden looked at it and frowned slightly.

His score was mediocre, if not slightly good, but Aiden was not satisfied.

He had come joint first place in the practical assessment, so doing so poorly in theory was kind of a big blow.

Amongst the hundreds of trainees, he had only managed to rank No. 200. It would cause him to receive all sorts of dodgy looks from the people around him, especially when you consider the fact that the people who got joint first place with him at least managed to make it into the top 25.

Although it didn't look good, in fact, Aiden was still being too harsh on himself.
