Serlynthia took her place at the front of the room, her gaze is icy cold as it swept over every teacher which stand before her. Before she replied coldly, "Thank you, Mr. Cooper. I appreciate the reminder of my lineage. Let's hope you also remember it. And without any other word, Serlynthia unleashed her aura, an overwhelming pressure flooding the room. The atmosphere grew thick, almost suffocating, as if an invisible weight had settled on their shoulders. The teachers instinctively straightened, some even breaking out into a cold sweat, realizing that Vice Principal's word were not false and now all the new teacher understand she is way above them not just because of her family status but because of her power also.
A few of the teachers shifted uncomfortably, Jim' who was arrogance and notorious among his peers, but now as he bore the most of her pressure, his confidence totally. And now he understands that Serlynthia was not here to play the role of the daughter of heroes; she was here as a hunter, a warrior, and now, their equal a teacher even if she is younger than them.
Breaking the silence, the Vice Principal, Mr. Arden, cleared his throat. "Now that we're all here, we can begin the entrance exam preparations. Today's exam will separate the aspiring hunters from those… less suited for the Academy's demands,"
As he outlined the day's events, Serlynthia scanned through the files of some special students who were almost granted to pass the entrance exam and she would soon be overseeing them as their teacher.
Student's POV
In the sprawling courtyard outside, hundreds of new students were gathering, nervously waiting for their entrance exams. Most of them already know that Serlynthia Eirendale, the famous S+ ranked hunter, was now a teacher at the Academy and she will be evaluating their practical exam. Many of the students spoke of her with a mix of awe and fear, as they know that the feats that she archived made her a living legend.
And among them their stood a students, a named Ethan, as he couldn't keep the excitement from his voice as he whispered to his friend, Aisha. "Do you think I stand a chance to impress her"
Aisha, who had been anxious, put on a brave face. "I know that there is chance of you coming 1st in the exam but I don't about the part about impressing her even the most of top ranker didn't stand a chance to impress her less a 18 year boy like." Said to Ethan
As Ethan was about to reply, the gates to the testing grounds finally creaked open, and a loud voice echoed across the courtyard. "All prospective students, proceed to the central arena for entrance exam!"
As the students filed in, Serlynthia made her way to the observation platform, her steely gaze fixed on the fields below. A few teachers joined her, whispering among themselves as they prepared to monitor the students' progress.
"Let's see there is anyone worth watching" she murmured to herself.

[Central Arena]
As the student reach the central arena, Rows of silver pods awaited the students on a circular platform, each encased in a faint glow of swirling mana. The virtual pods were made by human after experimenting the mixing of mana and technology.
Like the previous years this year's entrance is also saviour of fittest means a battle royal in the virtual world as the whole student gathered in the arena Serlynthia spoke through the speaker, "All the student were instructed to proceed to the pod which have your name listed next to it."
As she said all the student made their way to the pod which have their name next to it.
"Now I will tell you all about the rules so listen carefully as I will not repeat myself, first you all will be transported in the virtual world which will have a diverse terrain – like dense forest, mountain, desert" after pausing for a second she speak again "As you all know that every year the entrance exam is a battle royal between every student and top 2000 student will entered the Academy, to get in top 2000 all you have to do is kill the student or make them admit their defeat and how you do that is all up to you think anyway to defeat the other student, teaming up with other is also allowed as in hunter/contractor field it is important that you chose to team up with you so think this as of a practice for that if you get defeated early on but you have more point then who get defeated later on even then you will get selected."
"that all now you can proceed to enter the pod" as she said those word all the student enter the pod.

Ethan's Pov
[inside the virtual world]
When I open my eyes I found myself in middle of the forest and after access my environment I started to move "let find some examine to kill I still have to impress the ice lady so she take me as her student" as I came from Aldric one of the leading family of the world my father ask me to try my best to become a personal student of Serlynthia Eirendale as after becoming her student Aldric family status will increase in ruling family as they will gain support from Eirendale family who have status even above ruling family.
As I was moving toward the middle of forest to meet up with Aisha as we have plan before entering the pod I heard a voice and when I reach there I saw a student laying on ground and a second standing pointing his sword at him, " why not team up together we just entered least let me earn some point" said the student who was on the ground "why do I care about that you get to earn a point or not and even if let you do that what they're for me I see no benefit in that it can even harm me as if you get more point then me, so go home and try to get in the lower rank academy that the place for a loser like you."
"So how should I do that" I thought to myself "let's take both of them out."
Just as the boy was about to strike the other with his sword I brought out my sword from the system inventory and rushed at him before he even got the chance to react I drove my sword through his back killing him and kicking his body on top of the second one so he didn't get the chance to escape and before he can do anything I kill him also.
" Hm.. let see should not there be an announcement that I get the firs—"
*Student Samuel Drake will get the first, second, and third kill*
