Chapter 70
With a sly grin, the Chief Instructor gazed at Edmund, who was pointing an accusing finger at him. Edmund’s face turned a fiery red, trembling with unbearable humiliation and rage.
“How amusing,” the Chief Instructor remarked, his comment sending a chill through the bustling central hall.
“These grades are invalid, you say?” he asked, locking eyes with Edmund.
Edmund’s seething anger cooled, his face growing pale as he realized the gravity of his actions.
“Uh, well...”
As the Chief Instructor flicked his index finger, an instructor behind him handed over a sheet of paper. The Chief Instructor began to read aloud.
“Trainee number five, Edmund Denver. Second exam activities: impersonated a pirate fleet to eliminate second-rate mercenaries, and when encountering the mercenary group, used his family’s name to defuse the conflict. Total score: 53 out of 100.”
Edmund hung his head in shame.
“Do you know why someone like you got as much as 53 points? You’ve done nothing but eliminate a scoundrel who could only impersonate others.”
Silence.
“At least you didn’t hide behind other trainees and cut the lifeline yourself. That’s how you were scored.”
