Chapter 67: First Academy Exam (1)
***
=====
ㅡWhich of these values does the cadet consider to be most correct?
1. On the battlefield, it is not the process that matters, but the outcome.
2. The process is more important than the outcome. A reasonable process should be followed as much as possible. However, we must also prioritize winning despite losses.
3. Both the process and the outcome are important. But if there is a choice between the two, the outcome is more important than the process. Therefore, losses can be ignored.
4. It is not necessary to achieve a great victory on the battlefield, as long as overall victory is achieved. We must prioritize the strategy that causes the least damage to allies.
5. On the battlefield, the most important thing is to maintain a favorable situation and defeat as many monsters as possible. Losses cannot be avoided and must be accepted in full.

The next day, Han realized something while looking at the exam sheet.
There were no detailed examples of these questions in the Great Royal Academy . The writer didn’t show them because most would find them boring. Only a few readers would appreciate them being included in the .
Now that he was experiencing it for himself, he realized how much more depth would be presented if these questions had been included.
“…Hmm.”
“I think it’s too hard.”
“My God.”
He could hear the voices of some of the cadets around him as he sat at his desk, staring at the exact same piece of paper.
He was now taking the ethics exam. The Academy made sure the cadets had the right values. After all, it would be a big problem for the Empire if the cadets they carefully trained ended up becoming criminals, whether by thought or by action.
For him, the answer was clear. He smiled as he marked the answer.
Everyone could enter the Grand Royal Academy upon receiving their attribute as an adult. But that did not mean that there were no academies where basic education was provided before adulthood. However, it was not mandatory to complete those education courses prior to entering the Academy.
He had a presumption based on the education he had received in reality. That level of education was higher than in the academies of this world, probably because modern education was perfected over time.
A smile remained on his mouth as he solved the questions without delay.
Easy. The questions had no difficulty for him.
He used to read a lot of s as hobbies. He liked to be able to clearly know why the protagonists did the good things they did. It was quite helpful for topics like ethics, as before he entered this world, daily life involved much less overt struggle much less ethical discussion. Posted only on NovelUtopia
Han was able to complete the 8 pages efficiently. Then he cautiously laid down his pencil and looked around.
It seemed that the others were deep in thought.
“Ugghhhh…”
Dave, who was sitting next to him, sighed deeply. Han couldn’t help but bury his face in his hands to hide his facial expression.
This makes me feel a lot better than I thought I would.
Although his tribute was the lowest in this classroom, based off of the cadets’ reactions around the room, he was sure he surpassed most of the cadets in knowledge. He could even say that he surpassed Teacher Carly, because he knew what would happen in the future.
He looked away with that thought in mind.
“……”
“……”
His eyes met Carly’s casually.
She looked a little surprised when their eyes met, as if she had been looking at him all along. He wondered what he should do.
Cadets who finished their exams could leave early. But he would regret losing the sense of superiority that came with that, which he had not felt for a long time. He debated whether he wanted to enjoy this sensation a little more.
Suddenly, a cadet stood up from her seat. She walked with confidence towards the front of the room. Internally, he was surprised, although he looked at her nonchalantly.
Luna Vermont.
Han could easily identify her because of her bright pink pigtails.
“Luna, have you finished the exam?” Carly asked in surprise. Several cadets raised their heads, surprise and envy on their faces.
“Yes, it was very easy,” Luna replied with a haughty smile.
“Hahaha…” He let out a slight involuntary laugh, then regretted it. He immediately wondered if his laughter had been heard.
Not only Luna, but Carly looked at him as well. Luna looked as arrogant as ever – and proud of it – but Carly’s face didn’t change. He coughed to hide his embarrassment. Then Carly looked back to Luna.
“Cadet Luna,” Luna whipped her head back to face Carly, “may I offer my congratulations for being the first to finish. I expect good results.”
“Yes. Thank you, Instructor.”
