"Immediately switch to a window showing Yun Chen!"
Xia Qingcheng's words echoed the thoughts of many teachers present.
They should have handed over the screen to this temporary top-ranked freshman from the start.
After all, most of the people here had never seen how an Unclassed Drifter actually plays.
Unlike the dean, they couldn't pull up others' entrance exam recordings on a whim.
"All right then..."
The dean of the War Academy spoke, and naturally, no one dared to delay.
Very quickly...
Among the thirty stitched windows, an additional screen appeared — one showing Yun Chen.
Only...
It was completely white!
No scenes or figures could be seen!
"What's going on?"
"Is it a malfunction?"
Everyone was confused.
"No, wait!"
At the moment these words were spoken, the white wasn't just a glitch — it was a blazing white light.
Even more surprising, the entire frame was shaking violently, as if someone was physically shaking that window.
In less than a moment, a piercing explosive roar drowned out the sounds from the other windows.
Faintly in the background, chaotic bombardment sounds kept erupting.
"Uh... what is this...?"
The teachers showed dazed expressions.
After hesitating for two or three seconds...
The dazzling white light began to fade.
Then...
The scene that appeared before everyone's eyes...
Was a scorched, burning forest.
Huge troll monsters lay sprawled all over the ground, all dead, corpses scattered everywhere, each body scorched and burned by fierce flames.
Not only that, even the soil beneath the grass had been churned and thrown into the air.
The whole scene looked as if the ground had been plowed multiple times by ballistic explosions.
The only survivor in this scene...
Was naturally the tall, slender human figure casually strolling through a sea of purple flames, heading towards the next level.
"???"
At this moment, perhaps only a flood of question marks could describe what the teachers were thinking.
"Ah!!"
"What just happened?"
"What was that white light... It can't be a malfunction, right? But I just can't figure out how this was caused."
"That fire must be fire-element magic, but this guy is an Unclassed Drifter, not a mage!"
All the teaching staff looked puzzled.
"It's 'Light Burst'..."
Ye Anfu, dean of the War Academy, stepped forward to explain.
"Hmm..."
Even after hearing this, some teachers remained confused.
It wasn't their fault.
Nor could it be blamed on a lack of vision.
Who would have thought that a generic skill like 'Light Burst' — a skill most people wouldn't even bother to level up — could be raised to a B- grade by this drifter?
Even more absurdly, he spent quite a lot of skill points to boost it, resulting in this unexpectedly powerful effect.
"Also..."
"That loud blast under the white light was most likely 'Sonic Boom.'"
Ye Anfu, a third-tier mage, had never even put points into this skill.
He was simply deducing the closest matching explanation based on the effects.
"Using Sonic Boom combined with the dazzling white light, he created a super-enhanced flashbang effect."
"That's what the boy did right at the start!"
Of course...
What Ye Anfu didn't say publicly was that if he hadn't previewed Yun Chen's entrance exam footage, he might never have guessed that someone could play 'Light Burst' with such mastery.
For that reason, he had even gone out of his way to research some of these relatively obscure minor skills beforehand.
Light Burst!
Sonic Boom!
These two skills were rarely picked, and no one was willing to waste skill points to improve their effects.
Yet this drifter managed to combine them into a flashy combo.
"Has anyone ever really put points into the 'Sonic Boom' skill before?"
Hearing this, the magic instructor shook his head.
He hadn't learned it, and from the many students he had handled, he'd never once seen it used.
Light Burst might occasionally be used in specific dark environments.
But Sonic Boom was practically unheard of.
"Furthermore..."
An instructor from the Elemental Academy began analyzing what Yun Chen had done.
"From the residual elemental traces left in the air..."
"This guy cast instant magic, producing a mana machine-gun effect. The blazing rampage scene is probably the classic 'Fireball' spell."
"Moreover, the flames have turned purple, showing the fireball's quality has mutated."
"Honestly, compared to the Weapons Academy, he really belongs in the Elemental Academy."
To this...
Xia Qingcheng, the dean who initially assigned him, only responded coldly.
"We'll just wait and see."
Judging from the current thirty windows, at this moment Yun Chen was leading the pack advancing into the next stage.
It had to be said that this batch of freshmen was truly high quality.
Especially as the first fruits of the Xuanlong Country's educational support, students entering Jiangnan University from such an unprecedentedly large pool were naturally outstanding.
Even just from these thirty stitched windows, one could see mages expertly kiting monsters, flawlessly pulling and controlling large groups.
Very soon...
Another mage casting 'Spell Torrent' also stepped into the next stage.
Within a little over ten seconds...
More students began advancing level after level without pause.
"Not bad!"
Ye Anfu was quite pleased, proud of their performances.
At the same time...
He shook his head.
"Their performance is impeccable, but in the first stage alone, someone used the very mana-consuming advanced spell 'Spell Torrent,' and another nearly depleted their mech's entire firepower."
"I think it's going to get very tough from here on."
On the other hand...
The so-called Unclassed Drifter's apparent time lead was not that large.
But the minor skills he used earlier consumed far less mana than those formal mages' spells.
This was precisely the trait of an Unclassed Drifter — relying only on basic skills.
"Now it all depends on whether Yun Chen can hold steady in the second stage!!"
