Chapter 194: Roles!
For the next few days, Alicia slowly adapted to her 'Flying' (S) skill and now she was even able to do various complicated aerial movements with ease. For example, doing sharp turns, flipping, also attacking using her ice elements, got her better in aerial combat.
Luis also worked very hard to get proficient with his new skill. He would tease Alicia using his telepathy, like sometimes sharing his naughty intentions with her, making her embarrassed. Then giving her instructions and commands while she is practicing her aerial movements.
Meanwhile, Alicia was also successful in breaking through to Order Rank with the assistance of Luis.
Today it was already the day when Olivia was going to reveal the contents of the month-end examination to them.
***
Inside the Leviathan Classroom.
The students were sitting with their backs straight, all staring at the blue-haired beauty in front of them, waiting for her to speak.
"It seems everyone's here." Olivia started speaking, addressing the students. "Before, we discuss the month-end exam. First, I would like to talk about the practical classes everyone has been attending for the last ten days. If there are any complaints or suggestions, then you can share them with me now."
As soon as she said that 90% of the students in the class raised their hands intending to speak.
"Let me just state it first. The intensity of the training won't be reduced. Rather, it will only get more intense in the future. So, don't waste your breath complaining about that."
Several grunting and dissatisfied voices sounded in the classroom, as more than 80% of the students lowered their hands.
Olivia stared at those students with a flat gaze. Then focused on the students who hadn't lowered their hands yet.
"You speak first, Maki," Olivia said, gesturing towards the brown-haired girl.
"Professor, when will the weapon specialization training start? Until now, they have only been teaching us elementary knowledge. Which we already know." When Maki asked this question, several other students, who had their hands raised, also nodded in unison. They had the same question in mind.
"It shall begin after the month-end examination," Olivia answered and explained the reason. "In the first month, the professors try to perfect the students' foundation, considering both the excelling and average students. So that there won't be any difficulty at the time of teaching advanced knowledge. Does that answer your question?"
"Yes, Professor." Maki nodded.
"Are there any more questions?" Olivia asked, scanning the classroom, then stated. "If not, I shall start talking about the month-end exam."
She paused for a few seconds and seeing that no other students raised their hands; she tapped on the podium and started speaking.
"The exam will be conducted in two parts. First is the written test that will test your theoretical knowledge about the things taught in the class this month. Your personal score on the test will also affect the overall score of the entire class. So, work hard. The Written exam will take place this Saturday. Today is Monday, so you have 5 days to prepare."
After hearing about the written test, most of the students didn't have any psychological changes. Of course, excluding the few who were bad at academics like Diana. Her expression was solemn, as she thought of the written test as her biggest challenge.
"The next is the main part of the month-end exam. The practical test, which is called 'The Dungeon Rush! Students shall take part in this exam in groups of 5. That means our class will have ten groups."
When Olivia stated that, the eyes of the students darted towards the top students of the class. As they all wanted to be in a team with powerful people.
However, Olivia's next words quickly poured cold water into their excitement.
"The groups will be assigned at random and cease your thoughts if you think that a powerful team member can carry you all the way."
Olivia tapped on her podium and the holograms on all the students' desks lit up.
"I have already shared the exam rules and the information with you all. You can read it and discuss it with your teammates later."
"The Dungeon Rush exam will be conducted on Sunday. At the East Island."
"Now, it's time for the assignment of groups," Olivia said and pointed towards the hologram screen on the podium.
On the screen, the photos of all the students in the Leviathan shuffled together. Then listed in groups of five, from team 1 to team 10.
---
Luis quickly browsed through the list. He found his name in team 3 and Alicia's in team 5.
'I guess we will be separated this time,' He thought as he glanced at Alicia beside him. Whose expression was a little depressed.
{Want me to comfort you, Alicia?}
After hearing his telepathic message, Alicia turned to look at him with a flat expression.
{Get lost!}
{So cruel… I'm hurt…}
{…}
Alicia ignored him and started reading the information and rules of the Dungeon Rush exam. When he saw this, Luis also stopped teasing her and focused on the contents on the screen in front of him.
***
In a team of five members, each member shall choose a role for themselves. Then, depending on how well they performed their role, they will be evaluated. Personal evaluation will affect the team's evaluation.
The teams' composition of roles should be.
Vanguard,
Support,
Striker,
Rear, and
Commander.
Since it's a competition between teams. The students are required to work together. If they act alone, they won't be awarded any points.
'I am going with the Commander role in my team.' Luis decided. Not caring about the opinions of his team members. Because he was sure they would most likely accept it.
He skipped the explanation regarding the roles and focused on the information about the dungeon where the exam would take place.
'Hoh! Great! It seems like there are no changes from the game story.' Luis smiled in satisfaction as he read the dungeon's information.
