At dawn, Alfred arrived with the five students of class zero. Entering early meant fewer competitors.
"Remember," Alfred said coldly, "during the rebellion period, you'll encounter not only soul beasts, but people. Your only objective is survival. Anyone who fails the final exam will be punished."
Raziel Phoenix raised a hand. "Teacher, what's the punishment?"
Alfred glanced at him. "Your vacation will be canceled."
Raziel Phoenix's eyes widened in horror. A month-long vacation was sacred.
The others exchanged nervous looks. Even Lily frowned slightly. Only Ray remained calm.
"Move."
After handing over their entry cards, they were led into a familiar room. West Ocean Academy's influence and its relationship with the Spirit Tower had earned them special treatment. This room allowed Alfred to observe them directly.
