Chapter: 230
“What!?”
As Hou Sangwha got her weapon back and caressed it like a baby or puppy, all the cadets were shocked. She had a giant axe that was as tall as a grown man, and no ordinary cadet could possibly wield that.
‘...Baby?’
Now everyone could understand why Hou Sangwha had large, developed muscles. Ja Wumin was also happy to get his red-feathered spear.
‘Weapons...’
Yeowun did not have a special weapon. He wasn’t the type to become envious, but after looking at all those weapons, it reminded him of the Crazy Blade that Teacher Submeng held. Submeng told him that the Butterfly Blade Dance was only perfect with the Crazy Blade.
‘Will there be a sword that fits the Sword Force of the Sky Demon?’
The likely candidate to fit such criteria was the Sky Demon Sword which symbolized the Lord himself. But Yeowun had not seen it with his eyes, so he could only imagine.
“Other cadets without weapons, you can get one at the armory.”
Yeowun then went to armory to get a sword and blade. There were just generic weapons, but it was better than not having anything. After meeting with Submeng, Yeowun thought he would train the Butterfly Blade Dance also.
After receiving everything, the cadets gathered back at the training ground and lined up. Lee Hameng glanced over everyone and spoke.
“You all looked like fools when you walked in, but you look like good warriors now. I will now explain the next test.”
The cadets all became serious at the mention of the next test. Beginning with the fourth test, they were now going to appoint those who passed to be Squad Leaders. This was where they would be trained as powerful warriors.
“Beginning with the fourth test, there is no due date.”
“Whoaaaa!”
The cadets gasped with astonishment as they were glad to hear that they were now freed from meeting hard deadlines. Hameng grinned.
“You can take the test individually whenever you want during the four years you are here in the Academy.”
‘Four years?’
This meant that the fourth test alone might take four years. The cadets became serious.
“The fourth test is the simplest of all tests held here at the academy.”
‘Simple?’
The tests only got much harder as time went on, so there was something behind that. While the cadets were confused, Hameng grinned, “If you defeat any of the instructors at any time, you pass the test.”
The instructors all glanced at cadets, asking to threaten them at any time.
The cadets were startled. They barely defeated one instructor with the twelve of them teaming up to form a formation. But to defeat an instructor alone, it only meant one thing.
‘Become a master level warrior.’
That was the basic requirement to become an instructor. However, most instructors were well into the late master level.
‘It’s obvious.’
Yeowun nodded as he understood the requirement. However, the cadets didn’t seem to be too eager. There were some who were barely at the top-class level who were concerned, not to mention the other cadets who were either reaching the master level, or those who were at the master level already.
‘Dammit! This is crazy! Even the leaders cannot defeat the instructors who only used the Seven Demon Sword. How can we defeat them?’
‘Our leader barely got the yellow tag!’
