"Are you sure this is the right document?" The girl asked in a irritated tone.
"I am confident it is." The figure said.
"Ragnar Avalon. Quite a funny combination. To think somebody would think to combine the name of a fallen Knight family and the person who was the reason behind their fall. This is so unbecoming of them. But the information here doesn't do him justice. Even from his physical strength I could say that the information here is false. He is way stronger than what is mentioned here. He could easily overpower me. His sword skills are on another level and his knowledge regarding sword arts is also something I have never seen before."
"Why would the school mention wrong information about a student?" The figure said.
"According to what you said, Ragnar Avalon was a side character until a a month ago when he was obtained in an incident of breaking the arm of another student during a tussle between them. After that his behaviour changed completely and he started to skip school and only returned because he had to take part in the year end examination. From the looks of it he is knowingly hiding his prowess."
"But why would he do that? Do you think the Avalon Family had planned something?" The person asked.
"I guess they have. We cannot be too sure unless we study his behaviour in a much deeper manner." The girl said. " Keep an eye on him for now. If things are like we assume, we will have to report the situation to father. Just what could Avalon be planning with Ragnar."
Ragnar Grimes was a heroic figure of the past whose efforts helped humanity defeat the demons and make sure they couldn't conquer their land. The Grimes group was the strongest Knight Group during its time of existence and also the only Knight group which had defeated an enemy in their own home ground. To reduce the casualty on human's side, he is said to have taken the entire group and rushed into the crack. There was a theory that in the final battle, he managed to defeat a lot of demon kings before eventually injuring the Demon Monarch Lucifer.
Sadly, humanity lost him and the entire Grimes group in that battle. Since that days the downfall of humanity started. Many of the core Knight families like Valeryon fell and new family appeared. But they couldn't live upto the name of the highest Knight Family of the world. After the third and fourth change, the topography of world politics changed and various races also came into okay, trying to assume a controlling position over earth.
The name Ragnar held a lot of meaning for humans, especially those who belonged to the strongest Knight families and have managed to survive since the time of Grimes.

Ragnar had undergone a massive change due to implementation of sword training methods into his daily exercise regime. He trained continously, with minor breaks in between and hence managed to not only increase his strength and endurance stat, but also increase the rank of his body strengthening ability. Rather than F-rank, it was an E-rank ability now. He also had three other abilities, namely sword arts and martial arts.
Now that there was five more days till the final test, he wanted to concentrate on a single aspect of his body to improve on. His strength had reached a good enough level for now. His endurance was increasing no matter what kind of training he did and his man stats will be increasing due to channel clearing process. What he wanted to concentrate on was agility.
No matter what kind of battle he had taken part in, agility, speed , dexterity were a major factor to decide the winner of the match. Having a superior agility over the enemy gave a strategic as well as technical advantage to you. But improving agility was not going to be easy. Ragnar knew that he would have to use movement arts, special movement skills and keep practicing them to improve his control. It required a minimum body strength.
Unfortunately, whatever movement arts he possessed were only high level ones. The minimum level of art would require Ragnar to awaken his elf as well as Dragon bloodline with low purity and concentration. Hence he decided to take the help of the resources available to him as well as switch to most basic of training methods.
Ragnar started to run outside his house. The only thing he did was run around the neighbourhood, with his range expanding with every subsequent cycle. He began to travel to academy in foot and trained all day in whatever movement arts was accessible in the public library. His aim was to increase his agility to the next level.
.....
Year end examination date-
All the students of the academy were asked to assemble in their designated training areas for the test to be conducted. Ragnar was present with the Delta class, under professor Martin.
"Students. As you know that the year end examination is a procedure implemented by the academy to check your progress during the year and verify if you are fit to stay in the academy or not. This is important because there is a limited amount of resources that we can invest in one individual and hence the selection procedure of individuals needs to be strict and filtering. Hence, the current competiton."
He then turned around to look at Ragnar before speaking.
"The individuals who score in the bottom five ranks would be subjected to a disciplinary evaluation and their fitness to train in the academy would be evaluated. Most likely, these individuals would be expelled from the academy."
Ragnar watched the scene and smiled. Everyone was up for a big surprise today.
