When the exam area was full, we met with the discipline committee.

"Now, as you know, normally the disciplinary committee doesn't take the exam, but instead helps the guards watching the door here, but today one of us has to take the exam. I'm talking about you here, Jake." Aimee, head of the disciplinary committee, who had the title of Punisher, began to speak.

"I know that and I'm ready for exam." I said confidently.

"How can you be ready? You're not even wearing any armor yet. You just came with a sword in your hand."

"I don't need any armor. The armors only slow me down."

"Leather armors won't slow you down."

"I don't want armor that could shatter like paper with a D-rank kobold's claw."

"We are currently in an E-rank goblin nest dungeon. So it won't fall apart that easily."

"Come on, president, I really don't need that kind of armor."

"Jake if you don't have money you can take armors from disciplinary committee."

"Sigh... President, I'm not too stupid to wear any armor, I just don't need that kind of armor, I'd rather use my own."

"Huh? But you are not wearing armor. If you brought it with you, hurry up and get dressed in one of the back rest rooms."

"Sigh. I guess it's easier to show."

*Mana Zone

I started moving the mana. I used my skill and my mana turned into almost form a whirlwind.

"W-What is happening?"

"Where is that storm came from?"

"I-is someone using wind magic? The exam didn't even started."

"What is happening?"

"Look at there." A few students noticed and pointed to where Jake was.

After a while, a deep blue knight-type armor started to form around my body.

"Jake, what is that skill?" Aimee asked surprisingly.

"This is my mana skill that I used before in those fights." I answered.

'What kind of a skill is this, it can do both attack and defense. It can be used in long range and close combat. It can even create an armor. He can even be S-ranked with this skill and he still has no blessing. This man might be strong enough to truly go down in history. The women next to this man are definitely going to do well.' Aimee was in mixed thoughts.

"Uh... president, are you okay?" I asked Aimee because she was thinking deeply and she didn't answer no matter how many times we call her name.

"O-oh I'm okay. Anyway, Jake, even though this is a test, our duty as the disciplinary committee does not change. If a student is in a difficult situation in the dungeon, we want you to help that student, of course, report that person to us immediately and take that student with you. Also, if you notice that students are grouping together and trying to harm each other or another student, we also ask you to report it to us and intervene if you can."

"Understood."

After my answer, it was time for the announcement. Headmistress Vanessa Shade stepped forward to make a statement.

"Dear students, as you know, now your dungeon exam will start, but before we start, let me explain the rules again.

1) No student can attack or injure a student from another team or his/her own team.

2) If you encounter any anomalies when you enter inside, your first job is to inform the disciplinary committee with the help of your student cards or to activate the distress signal directly.

3) Keep in mind that the school is not responsible for any death or injury inside.

4) The score you get will depend on the number of mana cores you bring.

5) Killing the boss monster is equivalent to completing the direct exam with full points, and the number of mana cores you bring will not matter. But remember, if you decide to fight the boss monster and fail and get rescued by someone else or the officials, you will fail the test.

And remember, this will not only be a test, but also an experience that will shape your life. This quiz will tell you if you want to be an adventurer in the future, so survive and leave with the best experience."

After Vanessa finished her speech, many students were excited, some were stressed, and some were relieved to have their backs covered in the exam. Students who were stressed did not have self-confidence. Because what might happen in the dungeons is always uncertain.

The students who were comfortable were those who had come with many seniors. While these upper classes were doing all the work, these students would comfortably finish the exam with them. The reasons why the upper classes did this were varied, some to help their siblings, just as in Kana's case, while others because they were broke and these young, moneyed students had to pay them.

After a while, the officials gave their consent and we started to enter the dungeon through the portal one by one.

"This place is really different. It seems much easier to control mana here. And it looks like there's a lot more mana in the depths of the dungeon." These were the first words that came to my mind and said when I entered the dungeon.

But I noticed that some students especially low rank students had a frightened expression on their faces and even E-ranks had really trembling legs.

'I don't understand why they are so afraid.' I thought and asked North.

"Because your mana skills and feelings such as greed from the demon side arouse desire instead of fear, and the more mana you have in the environment, the easier it is to use your mana skills and the closer you want to get. But for other people, the more mana there is in an environment, the greater the pressure for them. Especially for those E-ranks, the mana here puts enough pressure to make them shiver." North explained and my smile grew.

'Good. Thanks for explain.' I said to North and I started to move deeper into the dungeon.

As I went deeper into the dungeon, I encountered some strange things and realized that this is not an E-rank dungeon.

This is a D-rank dungeon!
