Time went on, and just like I expected, the exam played out the way it was meant to.
The freshmen had a solid head start, especially when it came to racking up points early.
Their grouping method gave them an edge—most seniors couldn't even break into the top twenty of the rankings at first.
It sounds bad, but it made sense.
Even some A-rank second years struggled when facing coordinated groups of B to A-rank freshmen.
A group of five A-ranks isn't something you can just ignore, no matter how strong you are.
As expected, the S-Class freshmen led the rankings early on.
They were smart, and were powerful enough to actually make up for the lack of teams, some second years even took advantage of the rules.
But those kinds of strategies could only carry them so far.
At the end of the day, we were still their seniors for a reason.
Some second years just brute-forced their way through those groups, overpowering them.
