“Whoa, whoa, whoa.”

Training is like actual combat, and actual combat is like training.

This is what teachers always say.

I also think to myself that training should be like actual combat, and actual combat should be like training.

However, once you get into practice, those thoughts disappear and you find yourself consumed by tension.

Beep-!

[You are eliminated.]

“Ack! No!”

[Would you like to take the second challenge?]

“Ugh!!!! I’ll give it a try.”

Students who are consumed by tension are given two chances.

However, if you fail to complete the race like that, there is no way that a second time will produce good results.

Beep!

[The final result is ‘Class C’. Grade objections are being accepted at the department office.]

“Oh, no… I was actually trying to move up to B-class this time!”

If you don’t even get a second chance, you don’t deserve to be upgraded.

I was vividly watching how nervous the students were when they went up on stage and what kind of frustration they faced on stage.

“That’s fun.”

Just looking at the children burning with passion makes you want to cheer them on.

And if the challenge was successful, we applauded for that student.

Of course, you won’t be able to see what I’m doing from over there.

“He did well in the beginning, though.”

If the start was good, I was looking forward to it, but then I clicked my tongue in disappointment when I saw the pace suddenly drop due to lack of stamina.

And the result was again C grade.

“Now that I think about it, everything has been C-level since I started.”

There are no students who stand out in particular.

At the time, there was a misunderstanding that non-characters were mostly C-level.

““Going Eddie!!!””

““Aaaah!!!””

The noisy sound of women cheering.

And a moment later, a handsome blonde boy enters the exam room.

“oh.”

Is he someone worth keeping an eye on?

The noble elegance of a typical nobleman flows from his face and body movements.

A confident expression and unusual hand movements.

I know that fans are there because of my good-looking face, but I also know that fans only like to praise me when I have skills to back it up.

Beep-!

The exam started quickly because there were still students waiting for the exam.

A guy named Eddie, who looked like a gisaeng brother, raised both hands in the air and floated his body in the air.

‘Is it the wind?’

I may be a much higher level student than I thought.

And without giving up my expectations, I started the test with a cool move.

He easily avoided various obstacles, destroyed or evaded threatening traps, and finally, he even showed skill in neatly destroying an attack object.

‘Hey… It looks like he has a lot of power.’

The sight of the wind blade cutting the attacker in two at once was a sight that could not be denied as not cool.

At this level, I think it’s okay to jump into the actual battle right away.

Of all the test takers I have ever seen, he was the one who took the test most perfectly.

There was one more chance, so once I finished the test, the results came out.

I thought it was something out of the ordinary, but sure enough, it was different.

Beep!

[The final result is ‘Level A’. Grade objections are being accepted at the department office.]

Grade A appeared for the first time.

If I had other thoughts, I could have been overwhelmed with emotion.

However, the expression on the male student’s face who actually received the grade was gloomy.

“Is it another failure?”

I guess I was aiming for a higher level.

‘If it’s grade A, it’s great.’

If you can show movement like that, how easily can you catch a monster?

I once again realize how deceptively talented the awakened beings are.

‘It has become clear that SSR is not the only world where one can become A-level.’

With a face like that, I think it would have appeared at least in R-class if not SSR, but strangely enough, it was my first time seeing it.

“Eddie is cool!!!”

Aaaa-!!

And as soon as it was confirmed that the test was over, the women’s cheers erupted.

The person in question must have heard the cheering, but he pretended not to hear it and walked out of the exam room.

It was already clear from his movements and facial expressions that he was acting ‘as cool as possible’.

“Is this a skilled official?”

Well, I’ve met people like that countless times in my past life, so there’s nothing special about them, but I get the impression that they’re having a really fun life.

I felt much more at ease after confirming that ordinary people can achieve A level and even challenge themselves to S level.

This is because it means that this world is not so desperately lacking in talent.

‘But we still need to get the squad together quickly.’

The number of people forming a team in the game is 10.

Five of them will participate in actual combat, and the remaining five will serve as reserve personnel.

Depending on the stage, you can easily swap during battle, but what I had to do was create a perfect team setup.

In addition, when the squad I created enlisted in the military, I had to create a means to realistically provide help to them.

Although the graduation time may vary depending on the character, Shine and Fran will soon grow to S-class and have a high probability of entering the field after graduation.

In other words, it was necessary to help them underwater and increase their survival rate before summoning more characters to create a complete squad.

After that, enough time passed that I started to feel bored.

“Is it finally Shine?”

Even Shine’s friend, who was a familiar face, had taken the test a long time ago and had passed away, and after a long wait, Shine finally came to the test site.

Is it finally?

Will he rise to the A level as planned?

Or will it be possible to reach S level with growth that exceeds expectations?

A scenario that could not be changed in the game.

I was curious how much Shine’s fate would have changed by connecting him with Rebecca more quickly.

‘When the real S-class comes out… ‘It’s going to be crazy.’

The growth rate will be beyond imagination.

An incident that may change all of Shine’s remaining scenarios.

The girl who was abandoned by her family or who was worried about the grace period will be recognized by her family without any memories of being hurt.

You will be treated differently from the support you have received so far, and your treatment will also be different when you enlist in the military.

‘Is that really a win-win situation?’

But that’s in the future.

Shine is still just a student at the academy.

Since I have nothing to prove so far, I have to continue to show my skills and prove it to people.

Shine takes a deep breath, probably nervous before the exam.

‘Are you challenging S-class as expected?’

If I had been trying for A-level, I wouldn’t have looked so nervous.

He has already succeeded in achieving A-level or higher records several times.

In her hands was the unique equipment I had sold.

Even though it has only been a short time since I used it, the way I am holding it looks familiar, as if I have been living with it for several years.

‘That’s why I trained so hard.’

He referred to that weapon as ‘our baby’, so he must have been wearing it all day.

I hope Shine does well because it was nice to see him putting in effort.

Beep!

Finally, the signal rings that the test is about to start.

Shine ran forward at incredible speed.

* * *

[The final result is ‘S Class’. Grade objections are being accepted at the department office.]

Roaring, roaring, roaring.

There was cheering and cheering when a guy named Eddie got A grade, but when Shine got S grade, the buzz around was louder.

“What is he?”

“Looking at it, it’s class B? “Suddenly B-class jumps to S-class?”

It seemed like the audience couldn’t easily accept the unbelievable results.

“Which family is this girl from?”

… Or, in another way, it is tempting.

And it seems that the same was true for the teachers.

“Shine has reached S rank? “Wasn’t there an error in the test?”

“Tues, let me check.”

“What kind of error is this? “The exam has been going smoothly so far.”

Shine must have felt that the atmosphere was unusual, but Shine steadfastly prepared for the second test.

The first result was a narrow grade of S grade.

Shine was not happy about getting an S grade so quickly and prepared to get a better grade.

“yes. I would have expected that situation anyway. Even if you think about it yourself, the growth has been ridiculous.”

It is very important to calm your mind in a situation ahead of an exam.

The fact that people around you are talking so loudly and even the teacher can’t hide his embarrassment is clearly interfering with the student’s exam.

I frowned, crossed my arms, and watched the fuss of the people around me.

And finally, I stared at Shine, who had started the second test.

“Take down the noses of everyone else who doubts you.”

Shine, who went to practice wearing unique equipment and met Rebecca and developed his talent early, would be able to do it.

“Haha!”

After a while.

I burst out laughing, as if it was exhilarating.

All the doubts and disbelief in Shine’s test results turned into astonishment.

Just as I had hoped, Shine crushed their suspicions with style.

“What would you know? “I can’t tell you how hard he trained during vacation.”

If you dare to doubt the results, you should at least train more than Shine did.

Only then will you have the qualifications to suspect her.

Of course, having such qualifications does not deny that Shine has grown enough to become S-class.
