This clash between Michael and Brian wasn't overlooked.
Their confrontation had grown too fierce, too loud, too destructive—impossible to ignore when the teachers watched from above with a bird's-eye view of the island.
Nine out of ten supervising instructors reached the same conclusion: for the stability of the exam, Michael needed to be removed.
Only one thought differently—the very teacher from the academy Michael had chosen to join.
To him, this was not a threat but an opportunity.
With his undead to anchor his defense and his sheer combat ability to push outward, Michael could turn this exam into his stage—fortifying his keep while sweeping across the island, crushing opponents and claiming points in a relentless rampage. At his current level, there were few, if any, who could stand against him.
As for the possibility of Michael clashing with other students bound for the same academy? The teacher hardly cared. At a First-Rank Academy, quality outweighed quantity.
