Roan felt his vision turned dark after hearing the success of their mission. He smiled to himself despite his injuries.

'The pain threshold was actually similar to that in real life.' He thought bitterly.

With his current D-Class level physique, a throw as strong as that would really injure him severely. Although the injuries will heal through time, but it will take long for him before he was fully healed.

He then felt that he was back in the real world. He removed the headgear and placed it back on its original position.

When he came out of the capsule, everyone in the S-Class section was already there smiling brightly at him. He was surprised and he could not help but smile back at them. Even the usually cold Krystal was smiling at him. Roan could not help but scratch the back of his head in embarrassment.

”Roan, good job. It was reckless, but we accomplished the mission. Thanks to you.”

Situ Kui glanced at Roan with slight smile. He then strectch his right arm and balled his hand into a fist. Roan bumped his fist and patted his friend's back. Both young men were happy, so as the whole class. They swarmed around Roan and complimented his bravery during the fight against th zombie boss.

They then saw their professor's silhouette moving towards them. The S-Class section was excited, but when they saw the dark expression of Santharus, they immediately shut their mouths.

Santharus stopped in front of his students and glanced at everyone of them emotionlessly.

”Do you think that your results were satisfactory just because you accomplished the mission?”

Santharus spoke in a calm voice, but the students felt that their professor was angry.

”It was supposed to be the easiest mission and I expected no injuries from the S-Class section to happen. Why do you have to act like what you did? You could have used the environment to deal with that boss without getting injured. But you chose the most foolish route. Would you do the same in real life?” Santharus' tone of voice did not change one bit, but everyone felt the atmosphere getting heavier and heavier by the second. Santharus was calmly glancing at Roan, but the latter felt as if a monstrous beast was glaring at him.

”Professor, I... I... If it was in real life...”

Santharus raised his right hand which made Roan shut his mouth up. The former glanced at everyone and shook his head.

”Getting injured is normal in every war, but getting injured when you could have not gotten injured is plain foolishness. I want everyone in class to think the virtual world as a real world and to not think of it as merely a training environment. Let's treat every mission as if it was a real life mission.

Roan, next time I want you to think carefully before you move forward blindly. You are talented in both martial arts and sharpshooting, but you have to sharpen your decision making skills.

Situ Kui, as the leader of the class, you showed nervousness at the time when a leader was supposed to be calm. You could have avoided direct confrontation, but you were clouded by anxiety that caused your misjudgement.

And for everyone else, you are all the most brilliant students in the whole of academy. But why did you not use your talents during that mission, but instead placed all the burden of leading to Situ Kui?

Well, I cannot really blame everyone since it was your first time experiencing that kind of event. In fact, for young men and women, what you did was already good enough. But for the academy's standards, you did terrible.
