“Attention all students! Please return to your seats and stop talking!”
A young professor stood at the podium.
He glared at Arthur and Neo’s group for making a commotion.
They sat down.
After the ceremonial speech, where the professor talked about the deaths and difficulties they faced during the mission, he invited the principal on the stage.
Charlotte arrived.
She swept her gaze around the hall.
“Good morning, students. Congratulations on successfully completing the S-rank mission.
“I know some of your friends could not return from the mission, and I’m terribly saddened by the news.
“But, I hope this defeat would not cause you to crumble under the losses you’ve suffered, and instead serve as the nourishment for your growth.”
She spoke a few words for the condolences before moving towards the mission evaluation.
“I’ll be announcing the mission evaluation report.
“This report is solely to serve as a reminder for your performance during the S-rank mission.
“The professors who’ve compiled the reports, myself included, hope these reports will help you understand the areas where you are lacking.”
Charlotte coughed before she added.
“The parameters included in these reports are calculated using the devices included in your gears.
“Some of you might think the reports are unfair.
“And that means you still haven’t understood how much you are lacking.
“I hope all of you are understanding students and will not complain about your results.”
Charlotte wore her glasses and flipped the pages in her hand.
“Arthur Kingsley
“Mission Evaluation: C
“Number of Shadows defeated: 0
“Number of Shadow monsters defeated: 28
“Summary:
“Arthur has a good control over his elements and is a capable fighter. He can cover his own weakness perfectly.
“However, he is bad at teamwork and is susceptible to emotional outbursts.”
Charlotte added,
“Arthur’s Kingsley, come up on the stage and take your report.
“The summary I’ve said is only a small part.
“The report itself has a detailed assessment of your performance spanning several pages.”
Arthur stood up and went to take his report.
After he returned, Charlotte continued.
“Mars Everhart
“Mission Evaluation: B+
“Number of Shadows defeated: 0
“Number of Shadow monsters defeated: 42
“Summary
“Despite being a proud student and one of the strongest demigod among his peers, Mars repeatedly showed his calmness by following his team leader’s orders even though he wanted to do otherwise.
“His performance of protecting his two teammates on Depth Level 2, while the others went to Depth Level 3, was exceptionally noteworthy.”
Mars took his report.
Charlotte continued.
“Harrison di Valemont
“Mission Evaluation: C-
“Number of Shadows defeated: 0
“Number of Shadow monsters defeated: 20
“Summary
“Harrison has a good grasp of his techniques and he has shown his potential for further growth.
“His biggest flaw, however, is his pride. He fought his Shadow alone, even though he could’ve asked for help, and was nearly defeated.”
Harrison grunted when he heard the report.
He turned his head to stare at Neo for a short moment before taking his report file.
“Lucas di Valemont
“Mission Evaluation: B+
“Number of Shadows defeated: 1 (Sean’s Shadow)
“Number of Shadow monsters defeated: 17
“Summary:
“Lucas’ ability to use portals assisted the team greatly.
“Without him, the mission would’ve been at least 10 times more difficult.
“His compassionate nature, which led him to help his team leader in rescuing Jack, is the only mistake he did during the mission.
“Going on a suicide rescue mission that put the rest of team’s life on the line is not commendable.”
Lucas stood up with a smile.
He took the mission report and returned to his seat.
“Nathan Darkholme
“Mission Evaluation: A
“Number of Shadows defeated: 0
“Number of Shadow monsters defeated: 12
“Summary
“Nathan’s scouting ability with his Shadow summons is one of the most important reasons for the mission’s success.
“He made almost no major mistakes and his biggest contribution is locating Lucas’ Shadow.”
Nathan broke into a smile when he heard his report.
After taking his report file, the group gave him thumbs up.
He looked at Neo, mouthing thanks, since he knew he only followed Neo’s orders.
“Sean Brown
“Mission Evaluation: F
“Number of Shadows defeated: 0
“Number of Shadow monsters defeated: 25
“Sean’s careless during the battle nearly caused the team their life.
“Due to the confidentiality clause, we will not be disclosing his errors, however…”
Charlotte raised her gaze from the file.
Her powerful pressure hit Sean and he almost screamed.
“Sean Brown, if you repeat a mistake like this again, you will be expelled, and charged with attempted murder.”
“I-I understand, principal.”
He stood up with downcast eyes.
The group did not ask what Sean had done.
They had an idea of what happened during the battle, but since Arthur had apologized in place of Sean, they had to let go of the matter.
“Jack Hanma
“Mission Evaluation: D+
“Number of Shadows defeated: 0
“Number of Shadow monsters defeated: 152
“Summary
“Jack was defeated at the beginning of the mission.
“His Shadow monster count was taken from the Neo Hargraves’ device.
“Although the number of Shadows monsters he defeated is useless since it did not contribute to the mission, we can see the untapped potential in Jack Hanma.
“We recommend him to undertake more challenging tasks to help unlock that potential.
“If he can do that, Jack Hanma will surely become a renowned figure in the future.”
Felix, Arthur, and Mars stared at Jack with stunned expression.
“One hundred fifty two, seriously?” Felix questioned.
Jack let out an embarrassed smile.
His evaluation grade was second lowest amongst his peers.
However, he couldn’t help but smile.
The mission made Jack understand he was not as weak as he thought himself to be.
As long as he could overcome his cowardice, he could do more and be more. freewebnσvel.cm
“Cassandra di Langley
“Mission Evaluation: D+
“Number of Shadows defeated: 0
“Number of Shadow monsters defeated: 19
“Summary
“Cassandra’s performance during the mission was average.
“She neither excelled nor made many mistakes.
“However, we would recommend she does not let her arrogance cloud her eyes and follow the orders from her higher-ups without prejudice.”
Cassandra snorted and went up to take the report.
After almost everyone’s report was done, Charlotte looked at Neo.
He was the only one left.
She opened her mouth.
“Neo Hargraves.
“Mission Evaluation:….”
