[Cruise Ship]
Three days after the exam ended when a student from Horoscious Academy managed to find the treasure, an awarding ceremony was held in the ship with the top 5 students being the main spotlight for the event.
Of course with no bias, each student showcased their capabilities during this long Island survival exam and manage to get a passing score despite some being eliminated on the earlier days.
Each and every single one of the students who joined the exam were awarded with money and certification which proved that they had passed their academies exam and was in line for the graduation ceremony that would happen in their respective campus.
Soon after for what seems like a forever stream of students, the day then finally arrived when the top 5 students were called.
With that the top 5 student list were showcased on the screen.

1st place Leom (Horoscious Academy)

*********
The top student name was Leom, as the champion for this exam he was given reign to speech in front of the masses. From his speech everyone realized that Leom was a commoner who enrolled in a prestigious academy like the Horoscious Academy out of pure luck and dedication of his parents.
They were a humble family of four with his Guard father, seamstress mother, and an 8 year old little sister. His wish for himself was that he would graduate in the Horoscious Academy, find a proper job in the capital city and leverage the livelihood of his family.
Now that he won this exam and had certified his way to graduation, the wish he always dreamed off would soon come to fruition. After that he thanked everyone who supported him. His family, friends back home, his home town, the uncle who helped him reach the academy's grounds, the academy staff, the professors, and his kind classmates, everyone he could think off.
After that he talked about his experience in the island. As a student with commoner background and has average talent for magic, he literally could not think of himself going uo against top classed students of the six academies, his only chance to become a top student was to find the treasure that was hidden in the island and just like that he hid himself, made himself invisible, and tried to survive without letting anyone notice him.
Due to this he could search for the treasure with all he can.
Afterwards when asked how did he find the treasure, he told them that at first he tried searching it inside the caves and underground. But with multiple students thinking the same thing as he has, he weren't able to search that deeply before he gave up.
To be exact finding the right oath that leads to the treasure was only by pure coincidence.
The moment the students became violent and started fighting all over the island, many of its local creatures were scared at its wits end as they ran all over the island. Seemingly seeing the rampaging beast terrified him causing him to ran up to a cliff where he fell.
Afterwards when he salvaged himself out of the water, he then turned to look around him and found a nearby cave. At first the cave was nothing special, it was just a hollow space with a dead end and a puddle the size a large towel at the end of it, but the moment he regained his clarity and begun examining the cave he begun to question the existence of a huge puddle that shouldn't have exist in the first place.
After all the area around the puddle was dry, so how did it form a puddle deep within the cave and not get sucked up by the ground.
With this suspicion at hand, he then put his head inside the puddle and was surprised to see that the dark puddle actually hid a deep passageway that was so bright since it was illuminated by the glowing moss. The dark surface water of the puddle was just a cover up illusion to hide this beauty.
Upon seeing this, he then had a hunch as he quickly dived into the puddle and swam to deep along the cave. Not long after a strong current pulled him in, causing him to lose control and passed out fron the lack of oxygen.
The next thing he know when he worked up was that he was lying on top of the water surface, surrounded by water with the glowing moss.
He didn't know how long he passed out but the moment he got out of the water and followed the path where the moss are much concentrated, he soon came upon the treasure completely covered in a spherical orb with multiple complex magic that sealed it inside.
Cracking that seal took him quite a time to the point that he didn't know how much time had passed on the surface. What he didn't knew that as he was on the final stage of cracking the seal, both Shun and Lorius were trying to kill each other on the surface. So the moment Lorius stood victorious over Shun, that was the same moment he unlocked the seal and took the treasure which solidified his position.
With that story everyone applauded his effort while the students of the Horoscious Academy cheered as if they had actually planned for one student to find the treasure while the others distract the other Academy by themselves. One of these tailcoat riders was Gus who begun taunting the other Academy, causing some of them wanting to atleat punch Gus in the face.
While everyone was happy celebrating the end of exam and Akito seemingly content with 6th place, there was only one person who was completely out of it as if his should was sucked dry. That's right it was Lorius.
Once more victory was snatched from his hand leaving him empty.
With that the final exam came to an end.
