Meanwhile, other years students had also finished their third exams today.

~Second Year~
"As expected of students who join Elevrad. They all managed to complete their third exams from the first day to the last," said one of the students.
Meanwhile, a second-year female student approached Nadine.
"Nadine, is there a member meeting at Elevrad later? If so, we'll go to the Elevrad room together," the student said.
"I don't know about that. It seems like there won't be any meetings in the Elevrad room today, so I'd like to go straight home. It's unusual for you to invite me there with you, Vanina," asked Nadine.
The student's name was Vanina Cometti, a second-year student and a member of Elevrad since her second year.
"Well, what if we go together? We're both members of Elevrad. But since you said there won't be any meetings, I won't be going with you," said Vanina.
"Okay," Nadine said.
"But yeah, I can't believe you can complete this third exam relying solely on your rifle. You even destroyed those giant 'Golems' with a single shot," said Vanina.
"Consider me lucky to have completed this exam," said Nadine.
Meanwhile, Princess Amelia watched Nadine and Vanina chat from a distance.

~Third Year~
"Who would have thought we'd be fighting monsters in this third exam, even though they're just artificial monsters created from an Artifact. But you had no trouble defeating them, Vice Chairman," said a male student.
"You did too, Darryl," said ?Florian.
The student speaking to Florian was named Darryl Lachman, also a third-year member of Elevrad.
"Didn't you see earlier that I was having trouble fighting those giant 'Slimes'? There were five of them, after all," said Darryl.
"But in the end, you still completed the exam," said Florian.
"Well, by the way, are you going to participate in the academy tournament at the end of the semester?" asked Darryl.
"The chairman said he'll be participating, so I won't be. I know I can't win, so I won't be," said Florian.
"You're so pessimistic, even though you can use advanced elemental magic. You can definitely win if you're confident," said Darryl.
"You're saying that because you've never fought the chairman. Besides, when it comes to advanced elemental magic, the chairman has it too," said senior Florian.

~Fourth Year~
The fourth-year male students were stunned to watch two girls from their class easily clear the exam.
"Even though we had to fight dragons in this third exam, those two easily defeated them."
"You're right, Gretta even kicked the dragons to pieces with ease."
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
"Alisha too, just one arrow of hers was enough to destroy a large dragon."
"They're both beautiful, but I don't think we need to mess with them."
"You're right," said the male students who were chatting.
"I've destroyed the dragons the chairman created many times, so the dragons in this third exam are nothing to me, right, Alisha?" asked Gretta.
"Yeah, you're right," said Alisha.
Meanwhile, the fourth-year female students were amazed by the skills of Vyn and a male student.
"The chairman is indeed amazing, those dragons are nothing to him."
"Young Master Marco is no less amazing."
"They're both very cool," said the female students.
Then, Vyn approached the student named Marco.
"You really stunned them all, Marco. You even cut off all the heads of those giant dragons with just one sword technique. The swordsmanship of the 'Sword Prince' is truly terrifying," said Vyn.
"That's nothing special. Besides, the reason I was able to cut them all down was because they were just dragons created by magic, not real dragons. Besides, you yourself caused quite a stir by creating other dragons and making them fight each other, Vyn. And please stop calling me 'prince.' The only prince in this kingdom is Prince Charles," said Marco.
"That nickname wasn't coined by me, but by someone else. Besides, the reason you're called that is because you're the son of the supreme commander, Oliver Stabile, who is also the kingdom's master swordsman and is nicknamed the 'Sword King.' So, isn't it natural that his son, Marco Stabile, is nicknamed the 'Sword Prince?' After all, your younger sister is also nicknamed the 'Sword Princess.' Well, I think it's only natural, since your family's swordsmanship is indeed extraordinary," said Vyn.
"Those who gave me this nickname are exaggerating," said Marco.
"By the way, your little sister should be 17 now, right? Does that mean she'll be entering this academy next semester?" asked Vyn.
"Yes, that's right," said Marco.
"It's a shame that you and I already graduated when your little sister entered this academy. I really wanted to experience what it's like to be in the same academy as the 'Sword Prince' and 'Sword Princess,'" said Vyn.
"In fact, I'm grateful that you won't bother my little sister when she enters the academy," said Marco.
"It seems like you have a pretty bad opinion of me. By the way, since this is our last year at this academy, will you be participating in the final academy tournament?" asked? Vyn.
"No, I'm not interested," said Marco.
"It's a shame, because this year's academy tournament was supposed to be exciting. I challenged a first-year student to a match. This first-year student likely has strength comparable to ours. You might not believe it because you haven't seen his abilities. All the Elevrad members watched his match against Amelia. If you were an Elevrad member, I would have invited you to watch it too, but unfortunately, you're not."
"The match between them was exciting, but in the end, this first-year student managed to defeat Amelia without a single injury. This first-year student is truly interesting, isn't he? Don't you want to try fighting him in this tournament?" asked Vyn.
"I've made up my mind that I won't participate in this tournament, even though this is the last tournament I'll ever participate in at this academy," said Marco.
"I was hoping to avenge my previous defeat in this tournament," said Vyn.
"I suspected you had another reason for wanting me to participate. You haven't gotten over your defeat against me in the academy tournament when we were in our first and second years," said Marco.
"Yes, that's right. When I lost to you in the tournament during our first year, you failed to win. But you managed to win the tournament when we fought in the finals during our second year. That upset me. I planned to get revenge during the third year tournament, but you didn't participate. Because you didn't participate, I easily won the tournament. So I planned to get revenge in our final tournament, but again, you didn't want to participate," said Vyn.
"I already won it in my second year, so I'm not interested in participating again. Besides, if you want revenge, you can do it in the daily matches," said Marco.
"Losing in the daily matches is less humiliating than losing in the academy tournament. The daily matches are watched only by the students, while the academy tournament is watched not only by the students but also by other nobles, especially His Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen. Therefore, I want to exact my revenge by making you lose in the academy tournament," said Vyn.
"But unfortunately, I'm not interested in participating," said? Marco.
"You don't need to tell me again, I already remember that. But I will beat you in another way. I will win this final academy tournament, earning me two tournament titles, and defeating you, who only has one," said Vyn.
"Well, it's up to you, Vyn," said Marco.

Back to the first-year training ground.
Nineteen students successfully completed the third exam by the final day, while 21 failed. Those who failed could only hang their heads in dejection, lamenting their failure. However, Mr. Alan continued to encourage them.
"After this, you can go straight back to your dormitory or stay here to train. I remind you again that the academy will be closed tomorrow, and you will return on Monday. I hereby declare the third exam of this school year officially over," said Mr. Alan.
