24 Demonstrate Your Abilities (1/2)
”Next.” Hana lazily scanned a chemistry book as she waited for her turn. After completing her exams, she had applied for A.S. Academy since it seemed like a decent choice. However, it turned out the school actually had a second exam for class placement. So troublesome.
”Hana Zhao.” The examiner called. ”Room 3.”
Within the room, four old men were quarreling on the second level. ”So what if she scored a perfect? She is a F ranked. Letting someone of such low level to enter would tarnish our prestige.” The old man speaking was an elder of the combat department. ”Our rank already dropped to four. If we don't up our standards, then who knows how much longer we can maintain this position.”
”Bei Feng, if your combat department doesn't want her, our academic department will gladly take her. She scored a perfect on the college exams. Don't you know everyone is calling her the next Leo?” The elder of the mathematics department countered. ”Surely she could bring great contributions to our school.”
”What next Leo? We have Leo himself!” Elder Feng argued. ”Do we need an imitation product when we have the real thing? Besides, with her stellar scores, why would she apply to our school, a university that focus on combat? It's very suspicious if you ask me.”
The other representative from the academic department spoke up. ”You managed to steal him from us four years ago. Shouldn't we get this one as compensation?” He sneered.
That legendary student was a abnormal genius in academics and combat. Sadly, this old fogey managed to poach him in the end. Heh, too bad Leo was very peculiar and never participated in combat matches between schools. The old guy deserved to be driven into puking blood for stealing a student of theirs.
”Well,” the 2nd representative from the combat department tried to soothe things over, ”this girl seems to have a three star combat ranking. Perhaps she is decent enough?”
The four stopped talking as the girl in question walked in.
Hana looked quizzically around her. The room was empty, save for another student in the corner. Four elders stood on a balcony above her, likely the examiners? However judging from their ugly expressions, they seem to be in some conflict . . .?
”Cough, you are Hana Zhao?” One of them finally spoke.
Han nodded.
”Your examination will consist of two rounds. First, we will go through a brief interview. Then, you will demonstrate you abilities against Zhu Xing, a student of our combat department. Do you have any questions?”
”Nope.”

”Then let me start first. Why did you choose our school?” The gruff voice asked.
”A teacher recommended I choose A.S. Academy. It fit my preferences so I went along with it.”
”Your exam results exceed expectations. It seems to deviate drastically from you previous track.” Another commented.
Hana pursued her lips. ”True, however I recently understood the true utilization of my abilities which greatly contributed to my improvements.” Yeah, Gale Force Reading glasses is a huge cheat.
The elders looked at each other. ”We will assess you abilities before any further questions.”
The elder with a gruff voice gestured at the boy in the corner. ”Zhu Xing.”
”Understood, Elder Feng.” The boy stepped forward. He could be considered handsome, only a few years older than her.
”Miss Zhao, please demonstrate your ability against him. Zhu Xing is a 3rd year student in the combat department. His ability is ranked A so you are not expected to win. This is not a death match, simply a combat exchange.”
