NOVEL WEB Chapter 31: The End of The Sports Week
The End of The Sports Week & The 5 S Rank Students
The Annual Sports Week had come to an end, and the academy was alive with excitement. The last day—the Prize Distribution Ceremony—was always the most awaited.
Students filled the grand auditorium, whispering about who would win which medals and, more importantly, which five S-Rank students would be chosen for the Arunachal Pradesh Academy National Event.
Mri sat at the back of the auditorium, arms crossed, waiting for everything to be over.

The Prize Distribution Ceremony
One by one, students walked up to the grand stage to receive their awards.
The crowd cheered for every winner, celebrating their hard work and victories.
Finally, the moment everyone had been waiting for arrived.

The Final Selection – The Five S-Rank Students
Miss Ananya stepped onto the stage, holding a golden scroll. The entire auditorium fell silent.
"This year, we had over 100 S-Rank students in our academy," she began. "But as you all know, only five will be chosen to represent us at the Arunachal Pradesh Academy National Event."
Tension filled the room.
Miss Ananya unrolled the scroll and read out the names.
1. Mri – SS Rank (The only one in academy history)
2. Jasmine – S Rank
3. Sanji – S Rank
4. Meenakshi – S Rank
5. Roy – S Rank
The hall exploded with cheers.
Mri sighed. He had expected this, but it still felt unreal.
The leaders of other gangs had also qualified for S-Rank, but they had rejected the offer. They didn't want to go for the National Event, preferring to stay behind and focus on their own paths.
Miss Ananya smiled as she continued, "These five will represent our academy, carrying our name to the national level. In two days, they will travel to Arunachal Pradesh, along with myself and The GS."
The crowd clapped and shouted their names.
Jasmine, standing beside Mri, nudged him. "Well, Mr. SS Rank, feeling special?"
Mri smirked. "Not really."
Sanji laughed. "Mri, you're the only SS Rank in history, and you're acting like it's just another Tuesday."
Meenakshi grinned. "That's Mri for you. Always too cool for celebrations."
Roy crossed his arms. "Still, it's going to be interesting. The national event won't be easy."
Miss Ananya raised a hand to quiet the noise. "For now, everyone enjoy the rest of the evening. But for the selected five, your real challenge begins soon."

Later That Night – Mri & Jasmine's Conversation
After the ceremony, Jasmine and Mri sat on the academy rooftop, watching the stars.
Mri sighed. "So, we're leaving in two days, huh?"
Jasmine leaned back, resting on her arms. "Yeah. Can't believe we got selected."
Mri smirked. "Oh please, you totally knew we would."
Jasmine chuckled. "Maybe. But still, it's exciting... and nerve-wracking."
Mri looked at her friend seriously. "Do you think we'll win?"
Jasmine paused. "I don't know. The National Event will have the strongest from other academies. It won't be easy."
Mri nudged her. "Well, we better win.

The Countdown to Departure
Back in his dorm, Mri sat on his bed, staring at the ceiling.
In just two days, they would leave for Arunachal Pradesh.
A new challenge awaited.
And Mri had a strange feeling—this was just the beginning.
