The result was posted by Theo.
As expected, a lot of students did well during the practical exam. Theo didn't use the average ti to score the students. Instead, it was the expected ti for them to complete the test.
It might not be that surprising that Mia actually got the highest score in the practical exam. After all, she had been training under Theo for a long ti. She had also shown her ability in front of everyone. Though, the real reason for her score above Li Wei was the bonus points from two tests.
Li Wei was not that far from her, but his total score was a bit too low because of the written exam.
But what made it surprising was the fact that Maya's physical score was so high despite her ability being lower than most of them without her exoskeleton. Theo told them that it was due to Maya's exceptional control over her abilities, especially that instinct of hers. She basically got full marks on the Senses, Perception, Control, and Physical Ability Tests. The only reason she got that low score was because of the lack of essence in her body.
This showed the fundantal flaw in the basic test, which would make people reconsider the future test.
Still, the one who got the highest overall score and beca the number one in the class was Avalon. It definitely shocked people, considering Avalon wasn't good enough to sche and he also had his knight's oath.
That was why it was shocking to them that Avalon had the highest overall score. Still, it showed that Avalon was a smart person to begin with. His only flaw was his unwillingness to trick his opponent. And he had enough strength to basically defeat his enemy head-on.
Lancelot ca in second place, only two points away from Avalon. He lanted the fact that he didn't prepare enough for the test. In fact, if he was brave enough to challenge one of the tests and get the bonus point, he would be the first.
But the most frustrated person in the class was actually Serena. She had the highest score in the written exam. The first place was supposed to be hers.
Unfortunately for her, she fell too hard on the practical exam. She was one of the first students that got to go with Theo on a mission, so she had more ti to absorb his lesson. Yet, she still failed him.
That was why Serena took this matter seriously.
Theo could see the various reactions from his students. He said, "I can see that so of you are not satisfied with your performance. However, you don't have a second chance. In the real world, you also need to do it with as much preparation as you can and overco that trouble with the thought that you might die if you don't do your best. That's why all I can say is… prepare! You are free for today and if you want to do sothing, then you are free to co to ."
"How about the plan for the trip, Sir?" Haruka asked.
"I think I have sent you the email. But I guess I can explain it right now." Theo projected the entire plan on the board.
Mountain Trip (7 Days)
Location: Crushyxa Mountain (Moon Nature Resort)
"This is the location. We will be using an airplane to go to Rendouv Country and there will be a person picking us up at the airport. He will bring us to the resort. You are free to do whatever you want that day, and the real trip starts the next day. I have prepared a few activities for you guys, which can help your progress while I have enough ti to beat a few failures to shape."
"Will we have free ti during our trip? I an during those seven days."
"Don't worry. I have a good schedule for you." Theo waved his hand, assuring the students. "I will tell you about the schedule when we arrive, so that's it for today."
Since no one asked another question, Theo left the room, allowing them to discuss their scores.
Theo took this chance to look at the comnts. He didn't know what happened, but there was a lack of comnts in the past couple of chapters. So, he thought the author must be doing sothing and he had no way of knowing unless there was soone telling him about it.
In the end, he had to continue moving forward, waiting for them to return.
While he was taking care of a few pieces of paperwork left before the holiday, soone knocked on his door.
"Co in."
The first person to co was actually Lancelot. Even Theo was slightly surprised that he ca. He must be frustrated by the score since he was in second place.
"What's wrong?" Theo asked with a smile to confirm his speculation.
To Theo's surprise, Lancelot actually asked sothing that he had been suppressing the entire ti. Lancelot looked at Theo with a determined face and asked, "Will you stop if I use my fire again?"
"…" Theo fell silent for a mont. It turned out the score actually pushed Lancelot to the next step of overcoming his trauma. He must have realized that if he had never held back his power, he would have gotten there in the first place.
If he wasn't wrong, that fire of his was so strong that he couldn't control it. And it almost burned down his entire mansion and endangered both his sister and mother.
Theo asked, "I won't stop you if you decide to do so. However, I will stop you if your fire goes rampant again."
Lancelot started breathing heavily. He looked extrely uncomfortable thinking about the fire magic. However, he didn't want to hold back anymore and stood on the stage he deserved.
Theo even assured him that the tragedy wouldn't happen anymore. And with the strength Theo had shown him the whole ti, Lancelot knew that he might be able to control the blaze that he had been suppressing.
"Teacher. Please allow to learn my Fire Magic. I don't know how to do it without endangering others, so please guide ."
"Of course. I will teach you the thod during the trip. I hope that after learning that trick, you can continue your training during the holiday… probably at ho."
Lancelot looked down. The image of her mother and sister trapped inside the burning mansion haunted him. Just like him, they might have a trauma.
Despite being told that everything was fine, he still needed the courage to do it. He wondered if his parents would be proud if he could control this fire.
"I know that I'm too focused on my own trauma without thinking about the others. They might have suffered more than , but I'm going to stop running away. If I can't control my fire, it might haunt again sooner or later.
"I don't want my weakness to continue haunting . I will control this fire… I don't want this fire to be the one to hurt others but the one to protect them! That's why, please guide , Teacher."
Lancelot lowered his head, showing his genuine feelings.
This was also Victoria's request when he first started here. So, Theo said, "What you have right now is not a trauma, Lancelot."
"Eh?" Lancelot raised his head, confused.
"It's fear. You are scared to see your fire beco uncontrollable. You don't want to see the people around you hurt because of it."
Lancelot didn't deny it. If he had the courage to train his fire, he might not be troubled with this anymore.
"However, fear is not a weakness." Theo closed his eyes, recounting what happened in the past. "Fear is a kind of light that guides you. Overcoming that fear is the sa as gaining the courage to walk on that path. The struggles turn you kinder as well as stronger. You know the pain of that fear after all, so as a teacher, let teach you how to take the first step forward. I know that you can walk on that path by yourself."
Lancelot didn't know why but he felt a bit calr. He understood the struggles. And instead of him restraining the blazing fire that once traumatized him and the family, he should show them that his fire could be kind and protect them.
Theo's words gave him a bit of courage to walk on that path. And the first step would be the trick Theo promised to teach during the trip.
"Thank you, Teacher." Lancelot bowed to him once more before leaving the room.
Surprisingly, he got two visitors this ti: Avalon and Maya.
Maya asked, "Teacher. This is not that serious, but I wonder if you could actually teach how to get stronger without having an essence."
"Do you an with your exoskeleton?"
"No. I want to be strong in hand-to-hand combat as well. But I know that my normal body can't withstand it. So, I'm wondering if there is another path. Exoskeleton is powerful, but if I'm too weak to use it, it's simply useless."
"I see. Well, there are a few ways, but I need to consider your situation first before giving you the answers. I'll use the data from the exams to create a plan for you. Will that be fine?"
"Yes. Thank you, Teacher." Maya's matter was actually simple.
But there was another reason why he didn't give Maya a concrete plan right away. It was because of Avalon.
Normally, the students would co one by one. And the author should have written it like that unless he planned for sothing else.
And the way Avalon gazed upon Maya when she left the room confird his suspicion.
"So, what do you want to ask , Avalon? Are you going to use your request right now? So, we will visit your world after the holiday."
"I do want to use that request, but it won't be my world, Sir." Avalon shook his head. He glanced at the door once again as if he were making sure that Maya wasn't there. He then said, "I want us to visit Maya's world."
"Oh?" Theo's interest spiked.
"I have heard of her struggles before. On the one hand, there might be a way for her to gain essence through cultivation. On the other hand, she seeks physical strength instead. So, I want to visit Maya's world to decide whether I should help her or not."
"Interesting."

"Well, when I fought Maya in the past, I felt a bit of her nature. So, you could say this is a repaynt or sothing. I don't expect her to fight like a knight, but I at least want to know that she won't do sothing bad with this power. That's why I want to learn more about her world on the next mission."
"But what about your world? Do you even have permission to disclose that knowledge?"
"I actually t with the representative of my world and talked to him about this. He said, 'What if soone from another world has the best talent to be a knight? Would the Knight Realm back off because they feel inferior? Is that really how a knight would act?' From that answer, I know that I think I want to give her a chance. That's why I wish to use this request to visit Maya's world. If possible, visit it with her."
Theo closed his eyes while smiling. "I can respect your choice. So, you're going to explain it to your family and convince them during the holiday?"
"That's what I'm planning to do."
"Alright. If you can get permission, I don't mind fulfilling the request. But if you don't, you can change your request later."
"Thank you, Sir."
