Chapter 287 Rules Changed at the Finish Line

Of course, doing this would inevitably make Joanna hold a grudge.

Finished

After all, if this rule had been announced earlier, Joanna wouldn’t have pushed herself so hard.

Right now, Alonzo was simply weighing whether it was worth doing this for his student.

Whether it was worth it at all.

“Don’t look so defeated. What’s yours is yours, and no one can take it away. Go back, get your head straight, and keep putting out strategy guides. Don’t slack off.

“I’ll discuss things with the Public Dungeon Department head later.

“Then I’ll make my decision.”

Alonzo didn’t make any promises. He simply reassured Trystan, then sent a message to Joshua Sheldon of the Public Dungeon Department.

The two exchanged subtle hints, and Joshua began considering the idea as well.

Joshua wasn’t as anxious as Alonzo.

Because Joanna had run that Abyss-tier dungeon and helped clear out all the evil god’s flesh from the Nebulous Star, she had lost a day’s worth of time.

At her current pace, she probably couldn’t catch up to Rory.

However, Joanna wasn’t a student who could be measured by normal standards.

And what if her strategy group progress caught up, and then she went to farm public dungeons and took first place in everything?

Then Rory’s bonus skill slot reward would vanish.

Thinking about this, he steeled his heart.

“There’s nothing wrong with us doing this, but what will the principal think?”

The principal had previously questioned them about why they hadn’t distributed Joanna’s Mythic Skill Upgrade Stone.

Alonzo’s expression turned confident.

“The principal is about to leave for the Divine Battlefield again. He’ll probably depart on the

last day of finals. We’ll release the announcement on the last day!”

“Deal!”

Finished

In the blink of an eye, the final day arrived.

Joanna found time to complete her end-of-term assessment. Her level, attribute points, and attack power were naturally no problem.

Now, only the final day remained for the competition for department first place.

The strategy department had already been claimed by Joanna.

As for the Public Dungeon Department, Joanna and Rory were still fighting hard.

Joanna’s four contract beasts, along with herself, all joined in the monster farming.

Meanwhile, Rory sent 13 clones into the public dungeons while he himself also entered, farming monsters with all his might. Although his farming speed wasn’t as fast as Joanna’s, his base score gave him the advantage.

The two were neck and neck.

Then, at noon.

The department heads released a new rule, the one they had devised together.

“After school-wide deliberation, the rankings and rewards for department first place following the end of finals are as follows:

“These rewards do not stack. Each student may only claim one department first-place reward.

her rewards will be passed down to the next ranked student.”

The moment this announcement dropped, the freshmen exploded.

The news spread across the entire school.

At the Divine and Demonic Academy, Helen’s laboratory.

Beatrice slammed her hand on the table and roared in anger. “Has the school lost its mind? What is this supposed to mean? They’re bullying Joanna! These rewards should belong to her. Those bastards are abusing their power for personal gain. Both of those department heads are abusing their power!”

“Who’s bullying Joanna?”

A voice suddenly appeared.

Beatrice jumped in surprise and spun around to see a woman in a gray business suit and skirt, wearing black-framed glasses, looking every bit the refined intellectual.

“Professor Carpenter!” She let out a surprised cry. “You’re back! You’re okay! That’s wonderful!”

Helen gave a slight nod. “I’m fine. What were you talking about just now?”

“Professor Carpenter, it’s the public dungeon and strategy departments!” Beatrice explained the two departments’ decision with righteous indignation, then described how hard Joanna had been working to fight for first place in her department.

Joanna was simultaneously enrolled in three majors and ranked first in every single one. What a glorious achievement that was.

How could the decisions of two departments erase all of Joanna’s effort?

And they hadn’t said anything earlier or later. They only announced it after Joanna had worked so hard for so long.

They did this on purpose.

Helen pulled up the announcement at the same time and saw the names signed at the bottom.

She immediately contacted teachers she knew in both departments and made some inquiries, discovering that this was a joint decision made by both of the department heads.
