Very soon...
Everyone's minds grew increasingly absorbed.
"His mana must have recovered a lot by now, and his small skills cost way less mana..."
Just as one teacher had said, two or three minutes of gunfight training consumed no physical mana at all—it was purely his own movement and bullets inflicting damage.
Now that the mana recovery spell had been cast long ago, his internal mana must be almost fully restored.
No sooner had the words fallen...
"Here it comes, I know this move, it's the beginner skill 'Roll' of the Fighter class."
Like a rabbit leaping and a hawk diving, the man on the screen easily dodged a wide-range attack.
Next up was the Sharpshooter's 'Slide Step,' followed by a mid-air 'Aerial Shot,' dodging while counterattacking, leaving his enemies in utter ruin.
"So many small displacement skills."
"That's the advantage of the Unclassed Drifter!"
At this moment, the Unclassed Drifter's strengths were on full display.
Hundreds of beginner skills from all professions seemed endless.
"Notice? Senior Yun prefers small displacement skills, skipping some beginner Sharpshooter skills—like the 'Gunpowder Splash' hasn't appeared yet."
"'Gunpowder Splash' is an area splash attack, shooting a range of damage with one shot—most Sharpshooters spend skill points on it. But maybe because its damage is insufficient, Yun Chen doesn't like it."
"He obviously likes the feeling of controlling everything. The constant mana drain of 'Gunpowder Splash' clashes badly with his playstyle."
"Ah, a domineering man who controls everything... that's exactly my type of guy!"
Students chatted below, but soon a female classmate's words totally shifted the mood.
Though many wouldn't admit it, a tall, slender man with a handsome and resolute face was undeniably attractive.
Especially after that exquisite bloodbath of blade dancing just now, which highlighted a cold, ruthless, and commanding aura.
What came next made a crowd of fangirls scream excitedly.
The man at the center of attention performed a sliding tackle at the exact moment of relng, sending an incoming Goblin Guard airborne.
Less than half a second after the new magazine was ld, he landed a precise headshot on the falling monster.
"Wow!!"
"So cool, so cool..."
"Help, let me die under his gun!"
"I declare him my new husband!"
No denying it—this was undeniably cool.
The male students could only smile bitterly, secretly memorizing the combo moves. How had they never thought of such a cool synergy?
The audience area buzzed with excitement.
Meanwhile, the teachers whispered about Yun Chen's backpack space.
"He's not carrying any potions, only bullets and Mechanic devices."
"Looks like it. He has the Priest's 'Healing' and 'Mana Recovery' spells but hasn't drank a single potion the entire time."
"Wait... actually, he hasn't even used Healing once."
The teachers fell silent.
Even in dungeons of the same level, few dared to enter without carrying a potion, much less complete a dungeon without Priest healing.
Yun Chen's movement and positioning were extremely meticulous.
"So many small displacement skills, and when fighting the Goblin Centurion, he showed he had many control skills... not once was he hit."
Another teacher's focus was on his backpack.
In this world, reaching level 10 grants 5 backpack slots.
Each slot can only hold one type of item, with strict capacity limits.
Yun Chen's backpack contents were fully revealed.
"One slot can hold up to 15 magazines. Judging by all the bullets on the ground, he probably used three slots for magazines and the other two for Mechanic's traps and dangerous devices."
"Looks like Yun Chen is very confident to go into the dungeon without potions."
Worth noting, since this was the high-stakes exam, carrying illegal potions was forbidden.
For example, potions that instantly restore full HP or mana were banned.
Only two types of ordinary potions were allowed.
Additionally, the exam restricted many things, from bullet specs to weapon grade quality.
"The rest is just clean-up time."
The lone dance on the edge of the blades was over; only a few scattered Goblin minions remained in the palace—mere routine clean-up for Yun Chen.
Simple, easy, and risk-free.
But the sudden ease made the principal, sitting in the audience center, inexplicably tense.
"Hmm?"
Jin Sheng, sitting beside him, felt puzzled.
What's wrong with Principal Fang?
"Come on, come on, Yun Chen..."
More surprisingly, the usually calm and thick-skinned Principal Fang quietly muttered, eyes fixed on Yun Chen on the screen without blinking.
"Only the last stage remains, the top rank is within reach..."
With a hint from the assistant principal beside him, Jin Sheng suddenly understood.
He had been worried Yun Chen was taking too much risk, or might get hurt.
He hadn't realized how unbelievably fast his favorite student was progressing.
This was the result of giving up rest and fighting hard!!
"Charging for the top rank..."
This was something Jin Sheng had never dared to imagine.
Because it was extremely difficult.
Since its founding, Dongyun High School's best result was only eighth in the province—a chasm of 2 minutes and 5 seconds behind the top scorer that year.
Now Yun Chen's performance shattered all teachers' expectations; he truly looked like a solid contender for first place!!
No wonder the usually composed and thick-skinned Principal Fang couldn't contain his emotions now.
Few remember who came second.
But if you took first place, the glory would elevate everyone around you!
Especially since this year's exam was special—a milestone testing the first decade of compulsory education with absolute significance.
If he took the top rank, Principal Fang would surely gain some glory and a place in history.
But just as the principal's excitement peaked, the invigilator suddenly split the holographic screen in half.
While all the teachers and students were confused, many gasped in shock and broke out in cold sweat:
A student had been killed by a Goblin!!
