"Teacher Kunon, I'm sorry to interrupt your class, but there's something I need you and me to deal with. They're waiting for us in the lounge. Could you please come over?"
Collette said with a smile, but when she saw Kunon's expression, she looked at him with doubt.
"Hmm? Mr. Kunon, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
"Ah...it's okay."
Kunun shook his head.
"Thank you, Miss Collette... well, I mean, you came to let me know."
"Haha~, Mr. Kunon, you're welcome. We're colleagues after all~! I'll be over there first. Please come over once you're done here."
"Haha, okay, I'll be right there..."
Kunon gave a forced smile.
After Collette left, Kunon turned to look at the students.
"Like Teacher Collette said, today's class ends here. When you go back, reflect on your performance. Don't wait until the final assessment in a while and still be in the same state. Um... As for you—"
Kunon glanced at Hulim,
"Just... assume you're qualified."
"The above, dismissal——!"
After announcing the disbandment, Kunon immediately walked towards the lounge.
As soon as he entered the building and reached the corner where no one could see him, his legs went weak and he almost fell down. He was breathing in fresh air in big gulps, like a person who had just drowned.
"What a monster... that guy!"
... ...
“… …”
Looking at Kunon's hurriedly leaving back, Hulim tilted his head.
"That's really strange..."
Hulim had also noticed something was wrong with Kunon, but she didn't know the reason.
"Poisoned..."
Hulim didn't know that because she had defeated countless kinds of powerful monsters, she now carried a strong and fierce aura. This aura allowed her to avoid harassment from weak monsters and attract active attacks from powerful monsters when she sneaked into the Monster Forest for training in the past year.
However, Hulim was not fully aware of the ecology of the Monster Forest, so he thought that this area was full of powerful monsters.
Normally at school, and because there were no enemies, Hulim was in a relatively relaxed state of mind and never actively released murderous intent, so that murderous aura remained dormant and unnoticed.
Today, his opponent was Kunon, a battle-hardened C-rank veteran. This was also Hulim's first real fight against a C-rank human warrior, so he unconsciously became serious and his eyes switched to his normal combat mode.
Then the fierce aura cultivated in the combat mode burst out...
As a result, until the end, Hulim didn't know that she was the reason for Kunon's abnormality, and she even felt regretful for not being able to fight against a C-level strongman.
... ...
... ...
In the blink of an eye, the day of personal practical assessment arrived.
"You all understand the rules, right? In the first round, you'll fight according to the numbers you drew. The winner advances, and the loser exits, until the first place is decided! Remember, it's a count. Anyone who continues to pursue after the opponent has conceded will be eliminated! And leaving the competition area will also result in an immediate loss..."
A simple judging platform was set up at the edge of the playground, and Kunon stood in front of it to announce the rules of the assessment.
"Okay, I declare the assessment begins!"
As Kunon announced the start of the assessment, many students holding training weapons began to compete.
After speaking, Kunun walked back to his seat, sat down, folded his hands on his chest, and watched with an expressionless face. Once he found someone committing a foul, he would rush over without hesitation and disqualify them.
The other teachers who were also called over as judges were more relaxed and even started chatting.
"Oh my! I never thought I'd see something like this at a prep school. Seeing the kids clutching their swords on the playground is like seeing myself in my youth."
"Haha, that's right. But this is also what the times require. When we get old, the world will have to rely on them."
"Well, speaking of which of these kids will take first place?"
"It should be Ender. I've heard many students privately say he's the strongest."
"Oh, really? I thought it would be Hulim's kid. Hasn't that kid always had great magical talent?"
"That child, Hulim, may be talented in magic, but this is actual combat, and that's two different things."
"Hmph~, I don't think so. Doesn't Hulim still have the attributeless aptitude? Besides, she's already a second-level magician. If she's already learned the second-level enhancement, then there's no way Ander can win with a sword!"
"You said it was a possibility, but after all, I've never seen her use it before, so she probably hasn't learned it yet... Well, Teacher Collette, who do you think will take first place?"
"Oh, me? Hmm~, how should I put it? I'm more inclined towards Hulim-san~"
"Did you hear that? Even their magic teacher said so. That means that child's magic is just that powerful!"
"That's hard to say. Ms. Collette is the magic teacher after all. I think this kind of thing should be asked to Mr. Kunon, the practical class teacher. What do you think, Mr. Kunon?"
