Chapter: 110
Cadets who knew most of the information now turned to their group leaders up in the frontline. From how things went on until now, it was likely that the current group leaders would be chosen to be leaders again.
“So, let’s talk about how we will appoint a group leader and I will dismiss you all with the Black Dragon Ball and the book of the Seven Demon Sword.”
‘Huh?!’
Some of the cadets were shocked. What he just said was that the academy was not appointing leaders by themselves.
“Do you see instructors with tags?”
The cadets turned to the instructors to see their tags. They hadn’t noticed until now, but all of them had different colored tags. From a total of thirty-six cadets, many of them were yellow, and when counted, it came down to a total of seventeen yellow tags.
“Whoever takes the yellow tag in one week will become a group leader.”
‘IMPOSSIBLE!’
The cadets grimaced. This was too hard of a challenge. The final test was to defeat the instructor, but needing to take the tag away from them was too much.
‘This means that if there aren’t that many who can take those tags, then we might not even have seventeen groups!’
This had increased the difficulty of the test. Cadets wanted to raise an objection but no one dared to do that.
“Don’t think it’s too hard.”
Lee Hameng spoke with a laugh.
“Instructors with yellow tags will only fight you with the Seven Demon Sword, not their own specialized martial arts. If you can counter their Seven Demon Sword technique, you will get the tag.”
Even then, it still wasn’t going to be easy. They were still up against experienced martial artists who had used those skills for a long time. However, there was a hidden factor here, and Chun Yeowun knew this.
‘If a cadet can learn the sword in that short amount of time, it means he or she has greater knowledge about the sword formation. This wasn’t just decided to make the test harder.’
As he thought, if the group leader knew how to counter the Seven Demon Sword technique used by the instructor, it meant that all the cadets would agree to follow the leader in learning the Seven Demon Sword.
‘A week...’
But the time was too short.
“Hehehe...”
Lee Hameng looked amusingly at the cadets and gave an unexpected offer.
“You have a week left, but is there any cadet who wants to issue a challenge right now?”
No one had read the book of the Seven Demon Sword right now, but asking if anyone was up for challenge was like asking if there was anyone who was confident enough with their own skills to counter it. The crowd turned silent. No one dared to raise their hands. Most of them were still mediocre, and even those who achieved the level of top-class couldn’t dare to do such a thing.
“Hmph. So, no one is that brave? Okay. Then...”
Lee Hameng seemed to be disappointed and tried to begin giving out the books and balls, but the crowd turned wild.
“OH?!”
Hameng was astonished. Three group leaders raised their hands. It was Chun Muyeon of the Wise Clan, Chun Yeowun, and the 18th cadet who defeated Chun Jongsum of the Poison clan to be the leader of his 12th group.
‘This... is interesting.’
Lee Hameng was deeply entertained. He thought Chun Muyeon and Chun Yuchan will volunteer, but his expectation was wrong. Chun Yuchan simply stood back, watching what was happening casually. It was likely that Chun Mukeum would have volunteered also if he wasn’t in the medical room.
‘Bakgi... and Chun Yeowun!’
