Allen led the charge through the horde of monsters blocking their path. He used a spear to pierce through their ranks, opening the way for the other students to cut through.
"Keep pushing! The castle is in sight!"
His words echoed across the battlefield, raising the morale of every student.
As long as they could reach the outer walls of the castle, the exam would be over.

Cutting down the last creature blocking their way, the path to the castle was finally clear.
Blood rushed through the veins of everyone as their hearts thumped excitedly. Still, they remained vigilant as they made the last few steps toward the goal.
