Esther navigated to the address Gabriel had provided. She exited her car and approached the sign-in desk, which
was bustling with people awaiting the upcoming assessment.
At that moment, a subtle sense of intense competition washed over her.
Despite the pressure, Esther remained composed, holding steadfast to the belief that she would distinguish herself
during the assessment.
After securing her seat, Esther noticed Logan entering, now clad as an instructor. He casually positioned the roster
on the lectern and commenced, “Hello, everyone. I’m Logan Foster, your instructor for this assessment.
“This evaluation encompasses written tests, combat, marksmanship, and a free-choice segment.
“Three admission spots are up for grabs. The top three examinees in overall scores will secure immediate
admission.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“No cheating is tolerated. If discovered, your qualification will be revoked. Best of luck to all.”
With a nod from Logan, the staff distributed the test papers.
Esther received her paper and diligently tackled the questions, which proved to be straightforward. She completed
the entire assessment in under 20 minutes.
Eager to move forward, she promptly raised her hand.
“What’s the matter?” Logan’s voice echoed with formality.
“I’m done,” Esther declared.
Logan approached her and retrieved the paper. He gave a cursory glance and could tell a perfect score.
“Exit the room and turn right. That’s where the combat assessment awaits.”
Esther gathered her belongings and departed the exam room directly.
The atmosphere in the room grew tense, perhaps due to someone submitting their paper.
Logan picked up Esther’s paper and began marking it on the lectern with a red pen.
While grading, he abruptly seized a pen and hurled it at an examinee. “Get up, leave.”
All the examinees in the examination room directed their gaze at that particular examinee simultaneously.
“Thought there were no surveillance cameras in the exam room, and you could cheat?”
Having meticulously surveyed the room for a considerable time and finding no surveillance on the walls or
elsewhere, the examinee had decided to take a risk. However, he didn’t anticipate Logan catching him right at the
outset.
“Remember his name and put him on the blacklist.”
The disheartened examinee exited the exam room. Passing by the combat assessment site, he instinctively peered
inside.
Esther was already positioned on the combat platform, facing a nearly 2-meter giant. Beside such a colossal figure,

“Oh well, turning in the paper early won’t help…” the examinee murmured.
Despite Esther’s patience, she preferred swift resolutions. Unwilling to waste time, she directly attacked her
seemingly invincible opponent.
Esther was unaware that this second test assessed the ability to withstand psychological pressure.
When confronting such an opponent, should one bravely face it or cleverly handle the fight?
Of course, Esther opted to face it head-on, given her capabilities.
Following Agatha’s teachings in medicine, she understood the distribution of acupuncture points in the human body.
Even when facing a robust man, all problems could be easily solved by seizing the right moment and accurately
targeting acupuncture points.
Esther initiated a feint. Taking advantage of subtle movements, she precisely struck the man’s acupuncture points.
The man collapsed onto the combat platform like a small mountain, producing a resounding “bang”.
“Can I proceed to the next assessment venue now?” she asked.
