In the corner of the hall there was a small counter where the forms were to be signed, the teachers present there led the students to the counter one by one and the forms were signed by those who wanted to give the exam.
And it might seem strange to you but the majority of the students decided to take the exam despite the fact that they could lose their lives in the process. However, it was not even that strange if you looked at it from the perspective of this world.
Here all the students were sons and daughters of noble families, and to them reputation is a very big thing. Just think what would happen to the "reputation" of a family if their heir didn't participate in an exam in which all the sons and daughters of the other family's did, just because he was scared of losing his life.
Then there was the personal self-respect of the students; no one wanted to be marked as a coward. Hence most of them ended up taking the exam and signing the form.
If you ask about , I decided to take the exam too. Not because of the reputation thing, but because I wanted to test and see the result of all the training I'd done in the last two months. This was a good opportunity for that.
Therefore I went and signed the form too. After that the students were dismissed and the normal daily classes took place as usual. When I was done with the classes I thought of taking a visit to the cafe, since I was craving coffee for a while now.
I entered the building, ordered a cup, and then searched for a seat. And by sheer coincidence, I spotted Ellyn who was sitting there and having a cup of green tea. Since I had to et her anyway for the daily report, I thought why not make her life a bit easier and do it here.
Thus I went and took a seat in front of her.

In the dorm building for class C, inside a room were two boys. One had a muscular built body, he sat on a chair while lifting a dumbbell with his right hand. The other one had an average looking body, not skinny but not muscular either. He sat on the bed as he nervously fiddled his fingers.
"Are they coming or not?" Emric asked without looking at Wynfir, who sat on the bed.
"I've talked to them, and they said they wanted to et up. That our goals were the sa and all that,' Wynfir replied.
"I didn't ask for that, did I? I said, ``Are they coming or not?" Emric asked again, his ti in a harsher tone than before.
"Yes."
"That's it,' he nodded and stared back at the floor while continuing to move his right hand up and down.
A few minutes later there was a knock on the door. Wynfir instantly jumped out of the bed and walked up to the door. Twisting the door knob he opened it.
The door opened and three girls stepped inside. Seiren, Alda, and Wrena were their nas and they all carried a serious expression on their faces, however Wrena's expression showed clear signs of disgust as soon as she entered the room.
Wynfir closed the door back and stood beside his friend. The trio of girls stared at Emric for a while, waiting for him to start the conversion. But he completely ignored them and kept staring at the floor.
"We don't have all day, you know?" Serein said at last, not being able to bear it any longer.
"Neither do I," Emric replied and looked up while he dropped the dumbbell on the floor; it made a loud THUCK sound as it hit the floor.
"Get so chairs for them, I don't want them to whine about our hospitality later on," he said.
Wynfir was about to move when Seiren stopped him, "Leave it. We are not here to stay. Just hurry up and get to the point." She stated.
"Yeah, hurry up. I don't wanna stay a minute longer in this filthy room," Wrean added.
The condition of the dorms differed according to the classes assigned to the students. For example, the furniture and the overall quality of a class A dorm room will be better than one of class B, C, or D.
Wrena's complaint was reasonable and provoking, but no one paid any attention to it and she went unnoticed.
"Get to the point, huh?" Emric mumbled to himself but it was loud enough for the girls to hear. "Then let ask this straight as you want it. Are you in or not?"
Seiren's face was quickly washed up in rage as if soone had questioned her existence. "Hah, is that what you ask? Whether I'm in or not? Do you even know how much I want to kill that bastard? If I was unsure about this I wouldn't be standing here right now," she said in a stinging tone.
"It's fine then. I just wanted to make sure of it, that's all," Emric clarified.
"Can we finally get to the plan now? I know you all already know this but if we are going to do this, we'll have to be very careful," Wynfir ntioned, and it was the first ti he'd spoken.
"Shouldn't we first confirm whether he is taking the exam or not? All this would be aningless if he decided to skip," Wrean interjected.
"That's not a problem, I saw him sign the form. He is going to be there," Alada asserted.
"It's simple. You will chase him down and corner him into a spot from where he could not escape, then I will kill him," Emic said, presenting his thoughts.
"Heh, as if it's really that simple," Wrena comnted in a mocking tone.
"But that's why you are all here, what will be the point if I'll have to do everything by myself. I will be the one to kill him, so you three can at least handle everything else," he said.
"He's right. And I think it will be easier for us if the plan is simple. We will have to make so changes but I think the overall structure should be the sa," Alada interjected. "We will lure him into a corner and you will handle the rest."
