Chapter 43 One Night in the Villa
After that, Nighthowl carried her and teleported six miles away, then they walked into the dungeon exit vortex.
She was out.
Outside the dungeon, there were now quite a few young faces gathered around.
“She’s out! She’s really out!”
“Holy crap, that was insanely fast! But why is it only Joanna? Where are the others? Did they die in there?”
“I checked my friends list. They’re still in the dungeon. Not dead.”
“They’re collecting supplies. That’s a sweet deal. Even if there’s only 400,000 or 500,000 worth of supplies in the dungeon, if each person grabs 50,000, it’s basically like they only paid for the entry ticket to run the train station dungeon.”
“Those guys are idiots. If it were me, I’d skip the loot and stay on Joanna’s train. Looks like she’s pulling an all-nighter. Ten runs in one night means hitting at least Level 11. Level 11! Higher levels get bonus points on the SAT.”
“Shh, Joanna just opened recruitment.”
Joanna put up her advertisement again. Instantly, the application list was full.
Joanna selected the first nine applicants, explained the requirements, and entered the dungeon again.
After this run, five people actually skipped looting and said they wanted to keep farming with her.
Joanna happily agreed.
Grace and the others also came out of the dungeon, hoping to book the next run.
So Joanna took them along again.
Time flew by until 4 a.m.
Inside Trinity High, teams appeared on the plaza from time to time. These were all squads. returning from their dungeon exams.

At that moment, five people appeared on the plaza.
None of them looked happy.
On their final and most important exam, they had only scored 100 points.
“It’s okay, Lucas. Our scores from previous exams were always high, and our team has plenty of dungeon records. One slip-up won’t matter. At worst, with our abilities, we can still get into Violetlight University.”
But was Violetlight University the problem?
Their original scores were good enough for Prismbridge University in the city.
“That’s right. Besides, we got delayed, but other teams probably did too. The dungeon difficulty was the same for everyone. Maybe the others didn’t do well either. Let’s check the overall rankings.”
Rhoda looked up at the team rankings.
Then her eyes went wide with shock.
Rank 1: Shattered Dawn. Members: Joanna. Score: 220.
More than double her team’s score.
This…
Rhoda began questioning her entire existence.
Before Joanna left, Dawnbreaker had been the undisputed number one.
After Joanna left, Dawnbreaker was now … 34th in the entire grade.
Who was the weak link? Wasn’t it obvious?
What she found even harder to accept was this.
She had left Roseflare, and that team had actually climbed six spots in this exam. They were currently ranked 5th.
Rhoda was losing her mind.
When she was on the team, why weren’t they this strong?
“No, wait. They knew the strategy. This time was just a lucky fluke. As for Joanna, it’s definitely

because of that summoned beast. If the SAT tests is on something else, she won’t score this high.”
Just then, Noelle walked over.
“Lucas, you’re out of the dungeon. Come with me. You should get some rest.”
Lucas felt a warmth in his heart.
Even though his team hadn’t done well, S-rank talents were still valued by the school.
Their new homeroom teacher still favored them, waiting outside late at night to check on them.
Noelle walked with them, asking about their recent training, whether they wanted to run more dungeons in this final month to raise their levels and earn extra points on the SAT.
This was the treatment an all S-rank team received.
Soon, they arrived at the villa.
What confused them was that several large boxes were sitting at the villa’s entrance.
“Everyone, Team Shattered Dawn scored an undeniable first place on this exam, so they’ll be moving into Villa One. You’ll need to move out. Since dorm reassignments are happening frequently and it’s so late, I could only arrange an empty dorm for you. It’s where Joanna used to live. So Lucas, Cedric, Bruce, and Neil, you’ll be in Room 1444. Rhoda, you’ll be in Room 1443. Joanna was quite thoughtful. Your luggage is all labeled with your names. Would you like me to call a household robot to help you move?”
Seeing this, all five of them stood there dumbfounded-especially Rhoda.
