Chapter 792 Practical Session [Pt 1]
[The Next Day]
"Alright, students, you know the drill. It's time for your Practical Session."
Instructor Isra'il's two hands were formally placed behind him as he stood at the center of an empty Practice Hall, facing his fifteen students.
He had a stern look on his face, and for good reason. As Class A's Primary Instructor, he was in charge of the growth of these young ones, which meant he was to personally oversee their training—such as this one—in order to determine how much they had grown, or the measures of improvements they needed.
It was also pertinent for him to pluck out the inferior students and consider their demotion to a lower class.
All of this was his responsibility, and he was constantly determined to carry it out with utmost diligence. That said, he had no doubt that his students would show him yet another interesting match today.
'The only variables are the new students. I haven't seen them fight, so now is the best chance to do so...'
The footage of Entrance Exams weren't supposed to be released to the Instructors of the Academy, and he didn't have enough pull to check them out behind the scenes. The only things he was given to work with were Evaluations made from the Center.
'Well, I guess I'll see it with my own eyes...' His eyes focused on the boy with jet-black hair, and the girl with silvery white hair.
'Let's see how good you are.'

"Today, you'll be placed into groups of three."
The moment Rey heard this, his mood was nearly soiled. He had expected some sort of one-on-one practical session, but it turned out things weren't going to be too straightforward after all.
Still, he wasn't too disappointed.
'I'll finally be able to copy the Skills of some of my classmates. I initially wasn't expecting too much, since they're Newts, but... there are a few potential ones among them.' T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m
"Nice to meet you, Lu'ffa. You too, Chi'go!"
After all, despite their eccentric personalities, they were among the class' strongest.
"Hmph! Just don't hold me back, 'kay?" Chi'go responded as he drew closer to Rey and Lu'ffa, still maintaining his "Tough Boy" persona.
It wasn't all an act, though.
'I guess he has some stuff to back it up. We'll see all that once we begin, won't we?' All the teams gathered their members together, and before long, the five clusters of students had formed. They all stared at their Instructor and awaited further instructions.
As expected, he did not disappoint.
"For the whole day, you and your team will collectively engage in activities to amass points. Of course, the total point of the group will be divided by three, and allocated to each member there. Please note that it isn't enough for you to do well. Everyone in your group must excel."
'As expected.' Rey smiled. 'I guess I have nothing to be worried about, considering the kind of people I have in my corner. Still... the part I'm most worried about is our teamwork.'
It wasn't enough for the students to be strong, but they had to function well together in order to properly win and amass points.
Normally, none of these would really concern Rey. However, considering the consequences of failure, he had to make sure he didn't screw this up, and also ensure his teammates didn't do the same.
'A demotion is the last thing I need right now.'
"There will be a total of five tasks for today. Team Matches, Hide and Seek, Object Search, Individual Matches, and finally... Weapon Proficiency."
Fair or Unfair, this was the nature of any Academy—no, of society as a whole.
"You all better not drag my points down." Chi'go growled at his two teammates, clenching his fist as he listened to the Instructor's words.
"Hehe! This should be fun!" Lu'ffa grinned like an idiot.
Through all this, Rey simply maintained his silence and calm demeanor as he awaited the Practical Session's commencement.
'I should brace myself for the worst...'
