Third-person POV
The next 2 days were routine before the Saint Ken Academy entrance exams for Roel and Kazaki: in the morning, they crushed monsters with their magic, guns, and scavenged AOBF gear; at near noon, they would do some studying for the exams; after lunch, they did another batch of studying, and in the afternoon, another round of sword and magic training for the exams.
A similar routine was made by Aife for her Berserker ability and battle axe.
The exams will cover basic math, basic history, and combat that allows you to choose one of the styles: gunnery, swordsman, and magic.
Aife chose the swordsman test to pair with her Berserker ability, Roel chose the gunnery to pair with his magic and planned to use his Black Gunner gear with that hardened tactical patrol cap in deep black and dark purple, and finally, Kazaki chose the swordsman test to pair it with his magic the Night Wolf, Conqueror of Darkness. Roel swapped the Wolf brigade attire with that tactical gear for lighter and easy movement and a secret to hide, and to pair his SMG with his magic from the Thunder Dragon, Conqueror of Water and Air.
3 days later, they are now in Saint Ken Academy in Greystadt in its arena.
The gunnery test allows any attire worn by the test takers.
As Roel took his turn, many participants, mostly nobles, were stunned at Roel's attire. They know Roel's lineage in the Kale family of Vall. Roel knew that, after his Gunnery test, there might be a short interrogation about his scavenged gear after that, and he knows how to answer it.
