The Academy's Weakest Became A Demon-Limited Hunter

Chapter 23: Practical Training (2)

༺ Practical Training (2) ༻

Professor Fernando stood at the final destination. He looked at me with his usual cold blue eyes.

His teaching assistant walked over and took the performance evaluation bracelet from me while muttering, "That, yes, yes..." He looked like a zombie, overworked and exhausted.

Professor Fernando, who handled such an assistant, was like a necromancer.

"Group F, Practical Training is over. The results will be announced and feedback will be delivered in a week. Good work."

"Can I tell the people in my group about that?"

I asked, since they had all been eliminated.

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I'll deliver it to them all at once before class starts tomorrow."

Professor Fernando then told us that we could go home. Alan and Ethan, the first to fail, had already returned to their dorms.

The manner in which the performance evaluation was conducted, as well as the specific assessments made, were strictly confidential. Hence, there was no need to worry about the student council president, Alice Carroll, discovering something suspicious like the Sheath of Disaster.

The only thing made public were the Grades. A week later, the results would be posted in the central hall of Orphin Hall.

'Can I expect a better grade this time?'

Even though I only got to perform once because of Rose, I still managed to defeat the final boss.

Can't I have some expectations?

Of course, now that I had enough gels and had tested the performance of the Sheath of Disaster, there was no need to actually dwell on the results of this performance evaluation.

Still, it would be nice to get a good grade.

I walked out of Kalis Hall. The bright sunlight shining down was so dazzling that I momentarily shielded my eyes with my hand.

My entire body felt unusually light. It reminded me of how I felt in high school when I went home early after midterm exams.

But it wasn't time to play around. I had to begin training immediately.

I'd barely begun walking outside Kalis Hall when I was stopped by someone saying "Wait a minute!" It was a fierce, yet delicate, young lady's voice.

"How did you do it?"

It was Rose who asked me that. She stood in the shade of the building with her arms crossed while glaring at me.

"What?"

I knew what she meant, but I was deliberately pretending to be clueless.

Snap.

Rose took a step toward me, veins forming on her forehead.

"I don't understand how you, a Grade-E, can defeat Tauro! Even if it was an illusion, I don't see how you could have defeated something so powerful! And besides, what the hell did you do? There's no way you, a Grade-E of Class D, the lowest of the low, could have used five-star magic already!"

Her voice was filled with tears, the way she tried to deny it was truly pitiful.

It was probably her tendency to restore her self-esteem by putting others down.

But her pride was crushed in front of the person she looked down upon the most.

She must have been devastated that another person had so effortlessly jumped over a wall that she couldn't.
