( Luke’s POV )
As Luke looked around the examination hall, he found all sorts of students doing all sorts of funny pre-exam rituals.
Today was the written final test for the course Battlefield Strategies, a topic that Luke had spent a long ti understanding alongside the academy librarian, who continued to tutor him throughout the sester in private.
He himself was not worried about the test at all, as he had thoroughly enjoyed the subject. Attended all lectures, perford well on the quarterly assessnts, as even if he failed the finals he was still assured to pass the subject with the rest of his grades.
However, there were many in the class who were scratching their heads and losing their brains as they seed very nervous to attempt this paper.
So could be seen biting their pencils.
So were scribbling the knowledge they had barely cramd on the answer sheet even before the test paper was distributed, while there were so who discussed theories with their peers, trying to pass ti by making conversation.
” Hey, Lion, leave the second spot for will you?” A voice said as Luke looked behind to see a smiling Jero who was almost as relaxed as he was.
Being a noble, battlefield strategy was one of those subjects that Jero was taught extensively as a kid and it was a subject that held a lot of personal interest for him as well.
His grades were always very close to Luke’s in all exams, as the two buddies absolutely aced the studies. Towering above their peers in the educational aspect of their learning.
” I don’t know Jero, I saw you sneakily studying late last night. I think you plan to take the top spot….” Luke said playfully, as Jero burst out chuckling.
The two of them had made a pact not to study after 10pm when the lights were called off in their dorm, however, as Luke logged back into the ga, he found Jero sleeping over an open book, which made him believe that he was studying late last night.
Over the sester, while Luke improved a lot as a fighter and made the most of his opportunity to grow as an individual within the academy, he never forgot the mission Cervantez gave him to beco close acquaintances with Jero, as after spending 9 months together, the duo was almost inseparable as Jero considered Luke to be his long lost brother.
Despite Luke being the more talented of the duo, he never let Jero feel inferior as in private he always ensured to talk about the two of them as equals as he focused on dragging Jero up with him, rather than pushing him down.
Jero, who also understood how humble and talented Luke was, understood the value in befriending him as the two developed a deep bond of mutual trust and friendship that was easily going to withstand the test of ti that was sure to co ahead.
” Alright students, ti for the test-” Professor Wood said, as he walked into the examination hall with a set of papers, which he distributed to all the students.
“All the best….” He said, as the clock struck 8, signaling the start of the 3 hour long written test.

Luke read the question paper and imdiately a big smile spread over his face.
‘ I know all the answers…..’ he thought as he knew all the answers from 1 through 12 as the only challenge for him now was to articulate them and finish on ti, as overall him acing this exam was a given at this point.

( After the exams )
[ System Notification – Congratulations Player ‘SkyLion’, you have successfully passed the subject Knight’s Battlefield Strategies with flying colors.
You have been awarded with 8 levels! ]
The mont Luke walked out of the examination hall, he was instantly rewarded with 8 levels, the maximum possible for clearing a subject as a big smile spread across his face.
Over the year, he had improved in every departnt. However, if there was only one area where he was lacking it had to be his level as Luke was only level 65. Falling a full 50 ranks behind the top rankers.
” This will change soon ….” Luke murmured to himself as he expected to gain another 30-40 levels in the next week as he cleared one subject after another, as he hoped to join the top50 level rankings as a player by the ti everything was said and done.
” Yoooo, top ranker, how did your exam go?” Jero asked, as Luke smiled and said “Good”
While the other students walked out of the examination hall having shed a few hundred strands of hair, Luke and Jero walked out of the hall laughing and smiling as they both knew that they had aced this exam.
” Onwards to Hand to Hand Combat I guess, that should be a fun test” Jero said, as he teased Luke knowing full well that Miss Elara had threatened to beat Luke black and blue if he did not secure the first rank in her class.
” I hope to do my best” Luke said honestly as Jero waved him off for being too modest.
The final exam for hand to hand combat was going to be conducted as a mini-class tournant, but everyone already knew who was eventually going to win.
” I just hope I’m not matched with you on the very first round….. that would absolutely suck-” Jero said as he inadvertently shivered at the thought, knowing full well that Luke would pound him in a face to face matchup.
