Chapter 10: Class Captain
"It's Shye Crowley's turn!"
"Let's see if he deserves the 16th spot!"
There was another commotion after his name was called. It seems like his classmates were looking forward to his performance.
Even Shirley, Anthony, and Instructor Fienna were very curious about how strong he was.
All of those in the top 20 knew how strong Alexander Smith was so they were surprised that he lost to this guy named Shye Crowley.
Finally, after a few more moments, his battle with the wolf started.
As usual, the wolf aggressively attacked first. Shye easily dodged the wolf's attack and he even successfully inflicted a deep cut before the wolf could turn around and attack again.
The wolf quickly attacked again but Shye predicted the swift second attack from the spirit wolf so he easily cut off its right front paw before it even knew what happened.
Instructor Fienna watched Shye's assessment closely and smiled upon seeing him easily dodge and block the spirit wolf's next attacks.
"Hoh...He's just toying with the wolf huh? With his strength, he should've been able to secure a higher ranking for himself."
Instructor Fienna thought to herself.
Even Anthony had no choice but to admit that he was inferior.
"Tch...How scary..."
Someone like him could see that Shye was just toying with the wolf, unlike them who went all out just to defeat it.
On the other hand, the "uninterested" Shirley began to show some interest. It looked like she was a bit mesmerized by how cool Shye handled the spirit wolf.
Finally, in less than 5 minutes, Shye finished off the wolf.
[Congratulations, You've earned 50 points!]
He could've killed the wolf even faster but if he revealed all of his strength from the get-go, then he would get fewer chances to surprise and impress others.
"Alright, that's it for our combat strength assessment. Another reason why I made you undergo an assessment on the first day is to decide who will be the class captain."
After hearing what Instructor Fienna said, the ordinary students in Shye's class whispered among themselves.
Everyone knew that the strongest person in the class would be assigned as the class captain.
The class captain status is very important because not only would it help you on your debut in the real adventurer world, but it would also mean that you would have a chance to establish your adventurer party in the future without undergoing a separate "party leader" training.
However, it was very difficult to achieve this because you would have to be a class captain every year until you graduate.
"I believe everyone saw earlier that Shye Crowley was the strongest out of all of you so I will be assigning him as the class captain."
"If you guys think that you would be a better class captain, then you may challenge Shye Crowley."
"Pfft! Hahahaha Captain Shye! I see you're a man of culture as well!"
The other male students couldn't help but laugh and it helped them focus. They were finally able to finish changing clothes so they quickly sprinted out of the room leaving Shye alone.
"Damn! That was embarrassing! Shit! There's only two minutes left!"
Shye quickly finished changing his clothes as well and sprinted out of the classroom.
"I won't make it at this rate!"
He gnashed his teeth as he reluctantly opened his system and clicked [Upgrades]

He then upgraded his agility status two times.
[Confirm!]
After confirming that his agility status was upgraded, Shye hovered his finger on the [Exit System] button.
He was really pissed off at himself for having to use his "emergency" points for this type of emergency so he upgraded his intelligence status once out of anger before closing the system and sprinting back to the training grounds
