The day of the Combat Exam had finally arrived. Scheduled early in the morning, the academy grounds buzzed with anticipation.
The grand arena was packed, merchants, students, mages, and professors filled the thousands of seats, their voices blending into a low hum of excitement. This wasn't just an exam; it was a spectacle, a scouting ground for future representatives of the academy.
At the center of the arena, the elite Class One students stood ready for their one-on-one duels. The first match was about to begin: Jin Claye vs. Claude Smith.

Most of the girls cheered for Jin and begging his attention to look in their way.
Professor Ava stood between them and declared,
"You are allowed to use any techniques and magic. However, intentional killing is strictly prohibited.
