"It's divided into two parts. The first is the ranking competition, a unified competition among all the third-year students."
"The competition will randomly create venues with various environments. Which environment you encounter depends entirely on your luck."
"If you lose due to bad luck or circumstance, don't complain. Luck is a vital force for everyone. Of course, if you can have the power to ignore luck, that would be even better."
Having said that, Grisha waved his wand again.
The image on the projection screen jumped again, and canyons and mountain peaks appeared. In them, students could be seen moving forward quickly in the dangerous environment.
"The second part is the challenge competition."
"The challenge race has levels that test your attack, defense, speed, and reaction abilities. You need to overcome them one by one and reach the finish line."
"The faster you reach the finish line, the higher the score you'll get. Of course, if you arrive too late, your score might be very bad..."
"These two parts of the individual practical assessment will be weighted, just like the theoretical assessment. The final score will be your actual individual practical assessment score."
"They are a comprehensive test of your personal combat survival abilities. You'd better take them seriously."
After explaining the personal combat assessment, Grisa flipped the screen again.
The picture shows a vast forest.
"This is your final assessment, the team competition."
The image on the projection screen zoomed in, and finally the full view of a tree appeared in the picture.
The tree looked ordinary, but at the top of the tree, there was something sparkling in the sunlight.
As the image zoomed in further, the students in the classroom finally saw clearly that the glittering object was a magic crystal only the size of a thumb.
"This is a magic crystal specially made by Manakos, specifically for this assessment. It is also the goal of your team competition."
"The academy will set aside a large area in the Monster Forest and place these magic crystals there."
"After your group enters the forest, you must collect as many of these crystals as possible. Each one represents a point, and the final result of the team competition will be calculated based on the number of crystals you have collected."
"I need to remind you of two things—"
Grisha said in a slightly warning tone,
"First of all, the most dangerous thing in the forest isn't the monsters, but the people who aren't in the same group as you."
"In this competition, the academy will not restrict any of your methods or approaches. We only look at the final result, so many students die in it every year."
"Second point."
"The magic power fluctuations of magic crystals vary from year to year, so it's impossible to cheat by purchasing crystals from previous years on the black market. I advise you not to be naive."
“… …”
Grisha waved his wand again.
The projection screen disappeared into the air.
"The above is what you will experience before graduation. Prepare well when you return."
"get out of class dismissed!"
... ...
"Why has Mr. Grisa always been like this for the past three years? I almost wonder if he has facial paralysis. I've never seen him smile!"
In the dessert shop, Miko couldn't help but complain about Grisa.
Upon hearing this, Alicia spoke for Grisha:
"Miko, Mr. Grisa probably just has a personality problem. He's not such a cold person."
"Yeah, I know that too, but he's caught me and punished me so many times that whenever I see his face, I feel like he's going to kill me."
“… …”
Don't talk like a murderer...
After complaining in her heart, Hulim put down the sweet tea in her hand and looked at Micko seriously.
"Let's not talk about Teacher Grisha for now, Miko——"
"You had no problems with the theory test?"
“… …”
Miko was silent.
After a while, she hugged her head in pain.
"Oh, Hulim! I have forgotten all this with great difficulty. Don't make me remember it!"
Hulim: "..."
"There's no need to worry that much, right?"
Alicia comforted him,
"Mike, you don't have any requirements for graduation grades, right?"
"Then no matter what the theoretical exam result is, as long as it doesn't affect your final graduation, then there's no problem."
Mi Ke was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized.
“Oh, that’s right!”
"I don't need excellent grades to graduate, so why should I worry about the theoretical assessment?"
"Yeah! As expected, I should just do what I need to do and leave the theoretical exam alone~!"
After saying that, Mi Ke picked up the snack in front of him and started eating it with peace of mind.
I hope I won't end up not being able to graduate...
Looking at Miko who no longer cared about this matter, Hulim couldn't help but think so in her heart.
However, she thought about Mi Ke's level. Even if she failed the theoretical exam, she shouldn't have any problems with the other scores.
So I stopped worrying about it.
... ...
... ...
Over time.
The atmosphere in Manax Magic Academy became lively because it was approaching the annual graduation season. Many third-year students who had been away from home returned to the academy. Since there were not many classes, many of them wandered around the academy aimlessly.
The final graduation examination also arrived in this atmosphere...
when!
As the bell rang.
The final theoretical exam ended.
The third-year students who completed this final theoretical exam left the examination room one after another.
"Yeah~, it's finally all done~!"
Miko stretched out with a sense of relief.
"These past few days have been so hard!"
Hearing her say this, Hulim couldn't help but ask:
"Mike, you should have answered properly instead of falling asleep right away, right?"
"Of course not! Although..."
"I had that thought in the beginning, but Hulim and the others persuaded me, so I'm still taking it seriously~!"
That's not a problem. Although Miko is not good at theoretical exams, he is not to the point of knowing nothing.
"Alright!" Miko stretched his arms and legs, and said with a relaxed look, "The tough exams are over. Now comes the area I'm best at! Just wait and see how I shock everyone then~!"
Hulim had no doubts about Miko's confident statement.
After all, he was one of the people who made it into the top 100 of the King's Martial Arts Competition a year ago, and his current strength is only going to be stronger than last year.
Although there are many geniuses in Manakos, few can reach the level of Miko...
