<h4>Chapter 294 - Nothing Is Right About The Exam.</h4>


    "Good day students, by now you all know about the state of things outside the walls of the school." Principal Lovren Immediately began delivering his speech the moment he appeared in the hall.


    "The beast tide has arrived way sooner than we all expected, and because of this we wouldn''t be able toplete our curriculum, because you all would be sent out to the walls." There was a lot of murmuring in the hall, but it didn''t take time for the murmuring to die down.


    Normally an announcement like this would throw the entire hall into chaos, but the reason they were rtively quiet was that they had been informed right from the beginning of the semester.


    "The exam aims to give you all real-life experiences on how to work in arge group with specific goals and to have a firsthand experience of how dangerous the magical world is.


    Of course, none of you will be ced at the frontline instead, most of you will be ced in positions that require team coordination." Principal Lovren exined.


    The elite ss was way stronger than the normal ss so they were to be positioned at the city wall, while the normal ss would be positioned at the inner wall. Whenpared, the elite ss were to face the brunt of the beasts head-on, while the job of the elite ss was very peaceful.


    Their main task was to be thest line of defense, but it has been decades since the city walls have been breached by the beasts. So, until then, the students in the normal ss would be assigned tasks ranging from aiding those at the outer walls by supplying resources ormunity service tasks like distributing food to those in need.


    "At this point, I wish I was in the normal ss." Brian shook his head as he let out a helpless sigh.


    "You know, You could ask someone in the lower ss to challenge you, then you lose on purpose." Castiel suggested.


    "I highly doubt anyone in the normal ss would even agree to challenge you. Their skills and what they are being thought is very low whenpared to that of the elite ss, so epting the challenge would be as good as giving themselves a death sentence." ke said.


    ke was 100% correct. The normal ss made up 80% of the 1st year poption, that was why it looked like almost everyone wasn''t happy with the school''s choice of exam. Now that they had been informed that they would be stationed at the inner wall, the hall had be less noisy.


    "Everyone especially the elite ss would be awarded points by the number and strength of beasts you kill, but that doesn''t mean you should put your life at risk because everyone would be too busy to save you." Principal Lovren looked at some students of the elite ss who were notorious for acting stupid before continuing his speech. "Also, the city has decided to make things fair by paying you in exchange points for every beast you kill, just like they pay noble families and adventurers. The exchange points would be added to the one gained so far and the highest would determine the top positions for the semester."


    "There are only 2 ways to fail are by either dying or being dismissed by the captain in charge. So do everything to survive and obeymands." Principal Lovren stated with a stoic expression.


    As for the normal ss, they were would gain exchange points the same way as the elite ss, but since they would most likely note in contact with any beasts most of their points were toe from themunity services etc.


    "Our task on the city wall isn''t as dangerous as I thought." Brian said, but that was when he turned to ke and saw him frowning. "What''s wrong?"


    "Everything…" ke continued pondering for a few seconds before exining. "I can''t see anything right with this exam, Principal Lovren said the ash corps wouldn''t be able to monitor us every time meaning there are very high chances that I students would try to sabotage each other so they could get disqualified."


    "Also, introducing the exchange point system tripled the chances of it happening, because someone is to end up dead then they would be entirely removed from the rank list." ke brought their attention to the reality that they weren''t only fighting with beasts, but also humans.


    "Thinking of it, If they wanted us to have an experience of defending the beast tide, then there is no reason for them to make itpetitive." Castiel pointed out.


    "What if they want to force us to learn healthypetition." Everyone turned to Brian with raised brows causing him to think about what he said.


    Everyone knew it was an impossibility. Most noble students in the same and different families were in a nastypetition with each, and are ready to do anything to win, talk less of when they see amoner doing better than them. They wouldn''t even think twice to eliminate him when they got the chance.


    "You guys have to be extra careful because most of these nobles wouldn''t be alone on the wall, members of their families would also be present." Luciano warned them.


    "Since there are no questions, I would be handing over to Instructor Zirrack who would assign you all too different parts of the city wall." With that said, Principal Lovren warped out of the hall and Instructor Zirrack came forward.


    "From the start of the semester, you have gone through different team exercises with your most trusted friends, meaning it would be counter intuitive to shuffle you all into different teams. So the school has decided to keep the teams the same way.." Instructor Zirrack''s words gave the students a certain level of assurance because the decision would highly increase their level of survivabilitypared to if they were grouped with foes and random students.
