The next few days passed in the blink of an eye.

Kye after talking a little more about the VR with his friends managed to convince them that he will be alright, even if he go there alone. So no one had to come with him to protect him or whatsoever. Moreover, he went there with Sylvia, so even though she didn't have to, she could protect him from those who wanted to pick a fight with him.

Not that she saw the need. Kye managed to go almost toe to toe against her. Sure she wasn't using her full strength, but she was still level 6, whereas he was only level 1. And for first-year students, being level 6 was the higher someone could go. Being level 7 was quite hard, and most level 6 students managed to increase their rank during their second year in the military.

And since it was almost impossible for a level 6 to pick a fight with a level 1, there wasn't much chance for that to happen. Not because they didn't want to, but because it wasn't worth the hassle. They could kill them with a wave of their hands, so what's the point of trying to bully a level 1 at this rate?

So Kye went to the VR area for the next few days. And they managed to kill so many monsters with Sylvia that Kye had almost leveled up.

[EXP 745/800]

He just needed to kill a single more monster, but it will have to wait because something that no one could think of happening happened. It was on the last day of their training in the swimming pool. The professors announced something unexpected.

"In a week, so next Monday, every single first-year student that had taken part in the fighting classes will have an exam," Madison started to explain. "And as you might all know, our exams take place on other planets, that is to say, where monsters live in."

She let the students process what she said and let them talk among them for a few minutes before continuing. They were all excited, so they needed to talk among them to decrease what they felt.

"However, this exam will be a group exam. So you will have to be ready for not being with your friends, or those you know and would like to fight with," After having said that, a student raised his arm.

"May I know how the groups will be formed?"

"Yes, I was about to say it," Madison smiled to not scare the student. "Until next week, you will all have to take writing exams. It will go from the subject you're all supposed to learn during the morning, to more practical things like fighting tactics and so on. Thus, the groups will be formed like this. Four students who get approximately the same grades will be in the same group.

"However, and don't say that I didn't warn you. Those who will try to not do well to be with their friends will face severe consequences. It can go from a light punishment if we judge that it wasn't intentional, to things that you can't even imagine. So I will say this once.

"Give your all during those writing exams because it will impact your rating during the exams that will take place in monsters planets, and your future once you will leave the military." She said with a convincing look. "Now you can all go. Do not forget to work hard or else, you will regret it in the long run."

Madison and Azul disappeared from the swimming pool after that, leaving all the students scared. No one was studying during the morning class. Why would they? They live in a world where killing monsters bring more money than an office job. So they all disregard those classes.

However, now that they knew it will also have an impact on their future, they all get scared and swarm outside the swimming pool. Even the high-level students went to study because they didn't want to be with some low-level trash.

And after discussing a little among them, Kye's friends' group too went to study. They were all pissed by how the groups were formed, especially Yugo, Ven, and Lidi, but they couldn't do anything about it.

'I guess it will be a good training for me if they don't group me up with anyone whom I'm close to,' Kye thought as he too began to study as much as he could. He too wasn't paying much attention to the morning classes. He was more focused on how to fight than to learn about history and such. However, he was still paying enough attention to get an easy time in his studying. He wasn't sleeping like most students. No, he was listening. Sure with only half his attention, but it was still better than nothing. He at least didn't have to put an all-nighter to learn everything.

And just like this, the day of the writing exams came. Kye didn't even manage to level up because of how much he had to study. But he at least had an easy time for the exams.

He managed to learn everything by heart. So much that he was sure to get an almost full score on these exams.

"So, how did the exams go for you guys?" Once they had finished doing all the writing exams and the weekend finally came, everyone decided to hang out together to clear their heads a little. This week was awful for all of them.

"So bad that I won't be surprised if I get those punishments, even though I gave my all," Ven answered, drinking his beverage in a cozy restaurant.

"Normal I guess," Yugo added. "I managed to answer almost everything, but I don't think that I will get good grades."

"Same as Yugo," Enzo said. "But I studied so much that my brain isn't functioning well anymore," He was so tired that he was resting his head on the table.

"Haha, don't worry, I'm sure it will be alright," Kye patted his head to cheer him up. And it seems to work because he immediately straight up his back and smiled at Kye. "How about your girls? Was it okay?"

"I think I did pretty well, but I still got some difficulties regarding some topics," Lidi smiled as Kye praised her.

"How about you Sylvia?"

"I think I did pretty good as well. But I don't think I I did well enough to get everything good," She said while playing with her orange juice. "For example, out of a hundred, I think I will get ninety or something."

"S*it, your smart," Ven blurted out. "I won't even get 50."

"Hehe," Sylvia chuckled. "How about you Kye? Do you think you did well on your exam?"

"Well, I don't want to brag or anything, but I think I will get a perfect score," He looked a little shy when he said that."

Enzo nodded happily hearing him. "As expected of you. I did well by deciding to befriend you."

"Of course, you did well," Lidi added. "Kye is the best. I'm sure he would beat us all if he were to have an ability," Yugo, Ven, and Sylvia made a wry smile hearing that. They were the only ones who knew that Kye wasn't completely abilityless. Yet he didn't have any real ability either, making things a little complicated.

"Well, haha, I hope I will be able to get one one day," Kye smiled. He was happy to hear that, yet quite sad as well. But he didn't show it to not worry them.

"My offer is still open, Kye," Enzo said. "If you ever want to learn the time ability of my family, then you can whenever you want. Just ask me and I will teach it to you."

"How about space, Kye?" Yugo asked the moment he got the opportunity. "Just imagine making a portal that you can cross to kill your opponent?"

"Then how about gravity?" This time it was Ven. " You can lessen your weight to move faster or make your opponents heavier. You can even make black holes when you got a high enough mastery upon space."

"*Sigh* I guess I will propose It too," Sylvia sighed and said. "Nature is available as well. Just ask and I will teach you all things related to nature. From creation to destruction," Lidi didn't say anything since she could only propose the air ability of the military. But since Kye already refuse it, there wasn't any point in asking again."

"Thank you, everyone," Kye smiled even more brightly. "I'm very touched by what you're all saying, really. But I won't be able to answer you now. I still don't know what ability can go well with my fighting style, and even though all your rare abilities are extremely alluring, I don't want to decide on a whim. Especially since I won't be able to change it," He looked down after saying that, thinking that everyone would be angry at him for refusing this rare opportunity.

But they all thought the contrary. They were happy to propose such a thing, and even more to hear Kye take this seriously. An ability was something that would follow him his entire life, so by saying that, they were glad that he wouldn't make a half-a*s decision.
