...
This information appeared, causing Shingūji Kurono to raise her eyebrows slightly, feeling a bit surprised.
No matter how she looked at this information, it was just at the low level of E-Rank.
"As far as I know, among the disciple taught by the God of War, there has never been a Knight below C-Rank."
She reclined in computer chair, took out a cigarette, lit it, and exhaled happily while directing her gaze towards Hoshiharu.
"Is it because he is a direct descendant of the God of War?"
The God of War, Nangou Torajiro.
Now 92 years old, he has been active as a Blazer since World War II. He has made significant contributions to world peace.
Regardless of their rank, his disciple receive a lot of attention in the Knight community.
Take Tōdou Touka, for example. She studied under the guidance of the God of War and is also a strong B-Rank Blazer. She not only serves as the student council president of Hagun Academy but is also truly the strongest in the academy. The top four among the Student Knights can be said to shine brightly and attract everyone's attention.
There are many A-Rank Blazers and C-Rank Blazers who have more or less received training from the God of War and consider themselves his students, but there has never been an E-Rank disciple among them.
"No, I am not from the Nangou family."
Hoshiharu took the initiative to stand up and clarify: "I was indeed raised by my Master, but I have no blood relationship with the Nangou family."
He had an indifferent expression on his face, feeling neither inferior because he was an E-Rank Blazer nor ashamed of his Master's reputation.
There is indeed a hierarchy among Blazers.
According to the standards set by the League of Mage-Knight Nations, by testing a Blazer's abilities, magical power, magical control, and other aspects, the alliance will make a final evaluation of the Blazer's overall level.
In general, Blazers are typically divided into six ranks: A-Rank, B-Rank, C-Rank, D-Rank, E-Rank, and F-Rank.
Hoshiharu's Blazer rank is E-Rank.
In this world, most Blazers are E-Rank or D. Those who reach C-Rank can be said to be elite. Only B-Rank Blazers can be called genius Knights.
Toudou Touka is a genius, so she was discovered by Nangou Torajiro when they shared a dorm in high school five years ago and was accepted as his student. She goes to his residence every year to receive training.
An E-Rank Blazer can indeed be said to be ordinary and nothing special.
Even if Hoshiharu becomes a professional Knight after graduation, he will only be able to do clerical work at most. He won't be able to go to the battlefield like high-ranking Blazers to face those vicious terrorists.
After all, F-Rank Blazers will not be considered real Blazers because they are too weak. Even the League of Mage-Knight Nations will not recognize them as Blazers and generally treat them as ordinary people.
In other words, Hoshiharu is truly the lowest-ranking Blazer.
"I understand."
Kurono blew out a smoke ring and nodded slightly to show that she understood the truth.
"As a Blazer, I respect the God of War, but it's impossible to let his disciple pass through the back door. Hagun Academy is different from the other six academies. We have our own admission threshold. Do you know about this?"
Although she only took office this year, her expression was very firm.
However, she does have credentials. Although she retired due to marriage, anyone who follows the KOK League must know the name Shingūji Kurono.
After all, she was once the third strongest person in the world and enjoyed a high international reputation.
"Admission threshold?"
Hoshiharu looked puzzled and glanced at Touka beside him.
He had indeed never heard of this, neither in his previous life nor in this one.
"Although we are all members of the Seven Star Academy, Hagun Academy is different from the other six academies."
When Touka saw him looking up, she took the initiative to explain, "Hagun Academy has a dormitory system for everyone, and tuition is free. The academy also provides free food, clothing, housing, and even a subsidy system. This is something other academies don't have, so Hagun Academy will have certain admission standards."
"The admission standard for Hagun Academy is E-Rank."
Kurono flicked the cigarette butt, knocked its ashes into the ashtray, and returned to her desk, explaining calmly.
"Before school starts, there will be an entrance test. Only Blazers who meet the standards can enter this military academy."
There is no entrance test for the other six academies. As long as you are a Blazer and can prove that you are a Blazer, you can enter unconditionally.
However, the conditions provided by Hagun Academy are relatively good, so additional thresholds will be set.
"Master told me that there would be no problem entering Hagun Academy with Junior Brother's strength." Touka said to Kurono with a serious expression.
"Then you can't skip the entrance test."
Kurono's attitude was quite firm. She propped her chin with her left hand and raised her eyebrows slightly.
"I won't be lenient in this matter, and since your Master said so, I guess an entrance test will not be a problem for you."
From the perspective of a mature woman, she had to admit that Hoshiharu was the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life. Just looking at him made people feel like a spring breeze, very eye-catching.
Hoshiharu, who was full of charm, was almost perfect in terms of appearance.
However, Kurono's ability to change the past habits of Hagun Academy immediately after taking office and adopt a mixed dormitory system against all opinions highlighted her strong character, and she would not be lenient because of it.
"How is the test conducted?"
Hoshiharu did not take it seriously and asked calmly.
He had no special interest. Since he could enter through the front door, there was no reason to go through the back door.
"The examiners and teachers have not yet returned to school, so it is up to me to test you."
Seeing his still calm expression, Kurono nodded slightly.
"Show yourself at will and let me judge you. It's as simple as that."
Although this young man had a world-class Blazer as his Master, his appearance was too handsome to be an ordinary person, and he was fully capable of doing anything wrong, his character was unexpectedly stable and not at all reckless, which gave her a high impression.
"How do you want me to show myself?"
Hoshiharu couldn't help but lower his eyebrows when he heard this.
The way of testing was quite subjective. If the examiner was in a bad mood, he might be able to expel someone.
However, judging from Kurono's style as a strong woman, she would not lower her status to do such a thing. What made Hoshiharu feel troubled was not this, but—
His own abilities were not suitable for display.
"Any method can be used?"
"That's right."
Kurono agreed.
"In that case—"
Hoshiharu pondered for a moment, then raised his head, his dark eyes staring directly at the beautiful woman in men's clothing a few meters away.
"I ask you for a duel and to prove myself by fighting."
