Exam and continuation of the mission

Either way, Yoggi decided to explain.

"As you can see, there is nothing special. The first five steps are the things you learned in the last 4 months, not to mention running and swimming. You just need to complete it within the set time. Regardless of rank."

An easy explanation.

But it wasn't that easy.

The number of repetitive movements checking overall body capacity throughout the course was to check muscle strength, agility, and endurance, a course of highs and lows and sand.

The swimming course at the end was mediocre.

Repetitive movements in arms and melee movements are the most difficult.

However, even the 30 or so unsuspecting trainees who watched the time stiffened.

Seeing that, Yoggi smiled.

He liked the expression on their faces.

He continued.

"The evaluation will start exactly 10 days later at 9 am, end of the month. Since it is an absolute evaluation, I hope many of you will pass."

"..."

"Ah, by the way, the top 12 will receive a mission from Master and Young Master Raimon. I hope this will motivate you all."

This was supposed to be good news, but the children did not respond.

It was an impossible situation where they're passing the course seemed difficult, and to think that their Young Master would give them a mission.

Of course, Yoggi knew that.

Smiling, he spoke.

"There will be no classes for the next 10 days. The rest of the time, except for meals, can be spent freely. You can rest or train... good luck."

Yoggi and the Instructors left the auditorium.

The children stared for a long time.

Of course, it was only for a while.

The children, realizing the reality, cried out in despair.

"Ouch, they're being too harsh!"

"AHH!"

"I knew that less than 12 people would be selected for the mission after the midterm, but how did the midterm get so tight...?"

"So, 12 people complete these exams?"

"Even if we try our luck. I don't think there are 12 people...ha."

"Isn't this what you should be waiting for?"

"Sure...I can't go back without learning anything about Young Master Raimon..."

It was like a battlefield.

They were not very old, but the children were ready to dedicate their lives to being the best in this exam.

Therefore, when the bigger and more difficult exams approached them, they couldn't help but shudder in frustration.

Even then, there was one calm person.

"Mr. Thomas! Are you all right?"

"Of course he's fine! Sir Thomas is just like you, not only will he pass, but he'll also get the young master's mission!"

"Well, I know, but I was just asking..."

Don't worry about it. You guys can do it too."

"Really?"

"Right. It will be a close call, but if you can move with all your strength, it is possible. will you believe me?

I'm going to!" in a high-pitched voice, they shouted.

Eddie looked at some of the other kids.

Among the top 12, some had the best skills.

Rose, Sthephy, Thomas, Jill, Jack ...

A few others who weren't a big risk factor.

He was definitely in the top 5.

He nodded and looked at the last guy.

"...That's strange."

A guy who was continuing his training was standing there.

He was a guy who hadn't even made it to the middle ranks. William Thorn.

He would pass this time.

Contrary to his first impression, William seemed to have the pride of a noble, but there was a gap in the training period between him and the others.

But...

"Why, why does he look like that?"

He couldn't understand.

Usually, he was a strange guy, but today he was even a stranger.

Although the face looked the same, the feeling felt different.

Today's William was making even his rival Thomas, Rose, and Sthephy's heart beat faster.

I guess I'm not the only one feeling the difference.

Everyone except Judith Solar.

Judith, who was at the top, and he and most of the other students were looking at William Thorn.

Thomas Fowler didn't like that.

He forced himself to look away as he spoke to his followers.

"...Let's start slowly with the course, to get an understanding."

"Yes!"

"Yes! Mr. Thomas!"

"Understood!"

Thomas and the other children also left the auditorium in groups of three or four.

Others moved individually, like Judith or Ilya.

William was the last.

As he stroked his forehead, he closed his eyes, immersed himself in his thoughts, and moved on.

No matter how much he thought about it, there was only one thing he could do.

For the remaining ten days, he had to do the best he could. Regardless of the chances of his success.

And after a week.

"Hum, it's much better to see for ourselves than to hear about it."

Three days before the evaluation where the fate of the apprentices would be decided.

The Young Schoolmaster of the Anthos School of Fencing and Wrestling in the Flower Duchy recognized throughout the continent appeared.

Raimon Flower.

****

"How many are there?"

"There are three confirmed cases."

"There is no way only three men could have attacked the Anthos Academy students along with Instructor Roland. There must be more people."Eddie, Jill! When you approach the camp, look for the assailants."

"Yes!"

"If you are satisfied, do not participate and report immediately."

It was unexpected that the cadets were attacked by the cult, not non-humans.

"If you attacked while wearing an Anthos robe, are you a follower of the Dark Cult?"

During the move, Heinz continued to hear reports from Eddie.

"The attackers were wearing masks, which made it difficult to identify them. But he also said that he used the most common long sword in the Kingdom of Austria with a very cold aura."

If so, there was a good chance that it was the work of insiders in the Kingdom of Austria.

The entire military force of this Kingdom was on the border with the abyssal plain.

However, it cannot be judged that the attack was not carried out by a follower of the cult. They used weapons produced from the Kingdom on purpose to disrupt the war on the borders.

"Group 2 is at a level where they can flee after the battle, so at least there won't be more than five enemies they encounter."

"The problem is an unconfirmed enemy..."

Why the heck did they attack Group 2?

If you're a cult follower, and if they came here confirming that "Anthos students are doing their job" it doesn't make sense.

They just suffered a lot at the hands of Duke Raion and today they attacked your Academy students.

Of course, they should have targeted the Group in the back, which includes Raimon, instead of Group 2.

After three hours of running, I began to see the camp. If we had crossed the meadow, not the forest road, we would have arrived earlier, but the enemy would have spotted us.

Eddie and Jill had left to scout for the enemy. What was left near the camp were three people, Jack, Thomas, and Heinz looking around.

Five o'clock in the morning.

It will be full dawn by the time we head for Group Two's hideout. Not yet knowing the exact magnitude of the enemy, it was on the cadets' side that the day came at a disadvantage.

Group Two should hide well. They are smart...
