68 Third Year (1/2)
”Squad leader Han's psychic power evolved to a C+ rank.”
The agenda of today's conference moved onto Han. The executives and drill instructors looked glum and their expressions were dark.
The True Group's attack killed many students of Ark. Nobody was allowed a day of grievance and was expected to swiftly return to work because they couldn't waste a second longer. It wouldn't be too late to pay tribute to the deceased after the end of the war.
”It wouldn't be an overstatement to consider him a B rank due to the amount of telekinetic control he has. He just barely makes the minimum required rank to pilot psychoframes. At the same time, he has not awakened any unique psychic skills yet.”
”Still, I think we should transfer him up into the third year. There's nothing that Han would gain remaining in second year. He would just pointlessly win squad mock battles. What this youth needs is real life experience.”
”Third year is a place for psykers to train! Han does not meet the basic psychic requirements. He should remain in second year a little longer…”
The two sides would not come into agreement.
”The results and data Han has accumulated is enough to justify his transfer into third year. Currently, there are no youths in the second year with a better resume than Han. We don't need just raw data and statistics, we need someone who can produce results.”
The group who wanted Han to transfer up continued to strongly pressure the other side without signs of wavering.
”It's better to transfer him up if you can't choose a side. We can't afford to let anyone with potential slip from our hands.”
This was the deciding hand for Han's transfer, and was made official.
The second year drill instructors summoned Han. They handed him a pile of documents and spoke.
”Congratulations on your transfer into third year.”
Han's eyes momentarily shook. This came sooner than he thought. The decision was passed during the scheduled conferences that Ark held. Han nodded and received the documents.
Han also agreed that he no longer had anything to gain in second year. All he could do now was listen to the same lectures and continue to participate in the same sort of mind numbing squad battles.
They've also placed Simon and Kuro into third year, but the two were still in the recovery ward. So, they would remain in second year for a short while longer and transfer after they've made a full recovery.
It was highly probable that the two would be transferred with the next batch of transfer students.

”Only me?”
”Yes. Do you need some time to settle things in second year? We won't rush you. It would be fine to remain in second year for about a week longer.”
The transfer process of second years was drastically different to when he used to be a first year. The drill instructors considered Han's circumstances a great deal more.
'Is this my graduation?'
Han understood the title of third year was more symbolic than anything. With this transfer, he would become a reserve soldier. This was the real role of third year students. The endless qualifying examinations were over.
”One day will be enough.” Han said and returned to his dorms.
Squad 13 was gathered together, playing cards.
Most of the squad members sat around with gauze wrapped around random parts of their bodies due to their injuries from battle.
”Jose and Canute. Come with me for a moment.”
Jose and Canute followed Han, pausing their game of cards. The two were already aware that the drill instructors summed Han. Jose already guessed what this would be about and spoke first.
”You've been transferred, right?”
Han nodded while Canute's eyes widened.
