The surprise test gave Ves an excellent overview
All 100 students who enrolled in his Advanced Manual Superfab Operation course came from different layers of Terran society.
While none of them came from the absolute top or bottom layers of the Terran Alliance, they all grew up under different economic circumstances.
This gave Ves enough diverse samples to study the overall level of performance of different students with different levels of augmentations.
Klaus Robar-Fulton was not the worst performer among the 100 students, but his augmentations certainly ranked at the bottom.
His performance was a testament to how much he was able to utilize his limited resources to a higher degree. He did not let his relatively cheap cranial implant hold him back from pursuing his dreams and make his way up in society!
