"Seriously, I'm not trying to criticize you guys,"
"You've got only 19 hours left until the deadline for clearing the assessment Secret Realm, and you can still eat?"
"Do you have any idea how many people are waiting to see you suffer casualties?"
"Do you know how many people are waiting to see me become a laughingstock?"
"I can't afford to lose face, and neither can the Scout Corps."
At this, Aiko slammed her tablet onto the podium with a "thwack."
"If you understand, then sit up straight! I'm talking to you, Li Qingming!"
Scrape, scrape, scrape.
All four of them sat up a bit straighter.
Seeing her team obediently follow orders, Aiko couldn't help but feel even more satisfied, and she pressed a button on the tablet: "Pointer, turn on the projector and display my profile."
The projector on the ceiling lit up, and a standard Vanguard profile appeared on the large screen at the front of the classroom—
[Aiko, female, 21 years old
[Status: Elite Vanguard (Mechanic)
