S-Class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A heavy, suffocating silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of the five people who were guaranteed admission to the academy spoke. They did not expect it for a single second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instructor's eyebrow lifted, his expression shifting from mere observation to genuine intrigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't expected this either. It was mind-boggling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the previous evaluation, Azarel—the student standing before him—had been identified as an A-Grade talent. Getting an S-Class rating for physical strength was beyond exceptional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What truly caught his attention wasn't just the result. It was the method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn't the reckless, full-force swing of an amateur trying to brute force their way through the test. This was a planned execution. He had aimed for a weak point. Not the torso, not the arms—but the neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instructor's lips twitched upward slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Interesting.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The physical strength test wasn't just about raw power as he had said moments earlier, that was a lie to test the students' combat intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who had the foresight to target critical areas? Who had the instincts to maximize damage rather than merely throwing their strongest punch?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why Arthur's strike had cracked the puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His power alone may not have been higher than, Ash, the red hair—but his precision made it more deadly, generating an S-Class physical power attack. He had landed his strike where it mattered most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His approach had turned raw strength into something far deadlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-haired student across from him exhaled slowly, his crimson eyes narrowing slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn't cared much about the others—his own power was already enough to place him leagues above them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur was slightly different. But still, in Ash's eyes, he wasn't worth enough to look at him with interest, or as a rival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His punch had been stronger than Arthur's. Had Arthur struck the same way he did—straight to the stomach—he wouldn't have gotten S-Class in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he hadn't done that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-haired student's eyebrow lifted momentarily, before he lowered it again in disinterest, arms crossed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'He's slightly better than the rest. That's all.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur caught the glance but ignored it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rolled his wrist, flexing his fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instructor gave him one last glance before speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, the first part is done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have all received your physical attack results.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, we move on to the second and final part of the test.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze swept over the six students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This time, we are testing your highest possible attack output. You may use any skill you possess—no restrictions, except one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He held up a single finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It must be executed within three seconds. A single burst of power. You can use a combo of skills if you wish, but you must unleash it in one fluid motion. This is not a test of endurance. It is a test of explosive strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice dropped slightly, adding weight to his next words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The stronger the attack, the greater your placement. Give it everything you have.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur could feel the excitement—some of them were eager to showcase their strength, while others felt the pressure of this final ranking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let's begin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instructor turned to the first student, one of the two who had received a B-Class ranking in the previous test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You—step forward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The student, a young man with sharp eyes and a confident stance, nodded before moving toward the testing dummy. His hands flexed at his sides.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur watched closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first real test of magical or skill-based attacks. The physical strength test was simple. But this—this required finesse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The student took a deep breath, then lifted his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sand Binding Coffin!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surge of mana exploded from his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unnatural wind rushed through the air, carrying with it grains of golden-brown sand that materialized seemingly from nothing. The sand surged forward, racing toward the dummy in a wave, wrapping around its body like a living coffin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within seconds, the puppet was completely entombed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sand continued to climb, spiraling upward, tightening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The technique wasn't just about raw damage—it was also about control. The way the sand moved, responding instantly to the caster's will, was impressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The student clenched his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Collapse!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air cracked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The swirling sand compressed in an instant, crushing inward. The sheer force of it sent a shockwave rippling outward, a dull boom echoing through the training grounds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur felt the shift in mana. The way the sand twisted, coiled, then constricted like a crushing vice—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a kill technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The student's eyes were locked onto the puppet, determination burning in his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instructor's voice cut through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three seconds had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The student exhaled sharply, releasing his control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sand disintegrated, fading into scattered mana particles, leaving behind an untouched, unharmed puppet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment of silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[B-Class Attack Power]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The student straightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The result was good. Not outstanding, but respectable. His expression was calm, but Arthur could see the subtle relief in his stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well done,\" the instructor nodded. \"You have achieved a B-Class ranking in both tests. That solidifies your placement in B-Class.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The student smiled. A B-Class ranking meant he would still be considered one of the elite among students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't be too excited. You must maintain your position in B-Rank throughout the year. Competition is fierce and you must keep up. If you fail to do that, then you will be demoted to C-Class and someone will take your place. The worst possible scenario is exclusion, so don't slack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The student gulped slightly before nodding, the instructor's words made him worry instead of excited. But still, he was relieved that he had at least for now, made it into B-Class.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arthur crossed his arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Interesting skill.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was likely Uncommon-grade at best, but its potential was undeniable. A restraint-type ability that could immobilize opponents completely—if strengthened, it could become a lethal finishing move.
