The instructor was conducting an assessment for him.
"What's your name?"
"Cloude."
"Hmm... You go to Room 10," the instructor said.
The instructor sensed a strong determination from Cloude during the assessment. This young man bore a heavy burden.

After a round of assessments, it was Rachel and Shoyo's turn. Rachel anxiously looked into the instructor's eyes, and the oppressive feeling from earlier reappeared, but only for a moment, and not as intense.

"You go to Room 10," the instructor instructed Rachel, devoid of any emotion.

Similarly, Shoyo, after the assessment, was also assigned to Room 10.

In the room, there were twenty students standing, including Rachel and Shoyo, and a male instructor with a slender figure and silver-gray long hair.

"Those of you who have been assigned to the first ten rooms are the most outstanding group of students in this cohort. Congratulations once again. I am the instructor for the second phase, William," he announced while applauding.

"Next, let's introduce ourselves because until graduation, everyone needs to live in the academy dormitory, spending time together day and night. And there will be a day off every Sunday, so let's become good friends with each other." Shoyo noticed the giant sword-wielding Cloude from before in this room.

"As citizens, it is necessary to have strong willpower and physical strength. Today's classes end here, so everyone can relax their minds and enjoy themselves at Grandecy. Tomorrow is the ninth anniversary celebration of the king's coronation, and His Majesty will personally visit. After the celebration, various hellish training awaits you all!" William said with a smile, appearing even more daunting.

The people were assigned to the dormitories and began their free activities.

In the conference room of the academy, the Headmaster and the testing instructors gathered around the round table.

"As you may have noticed, the standard of this year's students is quite high. Less than 20% were eliminated in the first selection. Did you encounter any particular situations during the testing process?" Each year, over 30% of the students typically drop out, so this occurrence is indeed rare, with the last similar situation happening 22 years ago.
512Please respect copyright.PENANAFM0cMCC1TG
The other testing instructors provided their reports, and it was revealed that among the less than 1,000 participants, about a dozen students received high evaluations from the instructors. Shoyo and Cloude were among them.

After arriving at the academy dormitory, everyone went to find their respective rooms.

"Shoyo, you should go back to your room first. Gather at the entrance in half an hour, don't keep this lady waiting," said to Shoyo. Although Shoyo lived in Grandecy, during the study period, he still had to stay in the dormitory like the other students.

"This is the place," Shoyo said as he opened the door to his room, only to find someone already waiting inside.

A massive figure sat in the center of the room, with sunlight streaming in from the window behind, casting a shadow on the floor and making him appear even more majestic. His hands rested on the hilt of a giant sword, pointed straight towards the ground. Besides Cloude, who else could possess such an enormous weapon?

"Are you my roommate...?" Cloude slowly raised his head and looked at Shoyo, his gaze sharp. It seemed that he was particularly concerned about who his roommate would be. However, Shoyo was not intimidated by his imposing presence; instead, he felt excited.

"Cloude, I've been paying attention to you since the testing," Shoyo replied. Upon hearing this response, Cloude, who had been expressionless, suddenly looked shy.

"Take back your feelings. I can't accept another guy...
