Morning sun brushed across the hill city of Khagrachari, where the new Hunter Academy stood tall and proud.Crowds of young people filled the training ground, faces bright with dreams of power and fame.
Among them was one sleepy-looking boy — Alokita Chakma — yawning so wide a fly could have flown in.
"System," he muttered under his breath, "why do I have to be here again?"
[Task: Enter Hunter Academy and pass the entrance test. Reward: Basic Skill Upgrade Card.]
"Right, pass. Not top score, not rank one. Just… pass," he mumbled. "Simple."
The exam started early.A loudspeaker echoed through the ground:
"Minimum passing score per section — thirty-three points out of one hundred."
Alokita nodded. "That's my goal. Thirty-three. No more, no less."
First came the physical test — 400-meter sprint.Other students were stretching, summoning energy, some even using buffs.Alokita just yawned, rubbed his shoulder, and walked to the starting line.
"Ready—GO!"
Everyone bolted. Dust rose.Alokita jogged like he was walking his cat.
"System, don't activate any punishment, okay? I'm running."
[Effort level: Bare minimum accepted.]
"Good boy," he whispered to his system.
When he crossed the finish line, his score popped up:
Result: 34/100. Pass.
He grinned faintly. "Heh. One point above the line. That's efficiency."
Next was combat reflex — dodge wooden arrows fired by a machine.Alokita lazily tilted left and right, like slow dancing.He didn't even blink when one arrow brushed past his ear.
Result: 35/100. Pass.
"Nice. Still in the safe zone," he muttered, stepping away while others panted hard.
Then came the theory exam — papers filled with monster names, portal types, and mana equations.He stared blankly for five minutes, sighed, then wrote the simplest answers the system had once mentioned in tutorials.
After the buzzer rang, he leaned back, half asleep.
Result: 33/100. Pass.
"Perfect. I'm done."
As the results were announced, some students were crying from exhaustion, others cheering for top ranks.Meanwhile, Alokita quietly stretched his arms and prepared to leave.
[System Notice: Task complete. Reward granted — Basic Skill Upgrade Card received.]
A lazy smile appeared on his face."Good. Mission complete. Now, nap time."
While everyone else dreamed of glory,Alokita's only dream was a soft bed and a quiet life.
The next morning, the academy courtyard was packed with noise and excitement.Students crowded around a giant glowing board, staring at their names and scores flashing in bright blue letters.
Some cheered.Some cried.And one boy, standing far from the crowd, yawned like it was none of his business.
"System," Alokita mumbled, "just tell me where I ended up."
[Result: Qualified. Assigned to — F Class.]
"F class, huh?" He rubbed his neck. "Sounds quiet enough for a nap."
When he entered his new classroom, a soft buzz of conversation filled the room.Most of the students looked down, faces dull and disappointed.Being placed in F Class wasn't something to brag about.
Then the door opened, and a woman in her late twenties walked in.She had kind eyes, a calm expression, and an air of quiet confidence.
"Good morning, everyone," she said with a gentle smile."I'm Arpi, your F-Class instructor."
Arpi set a pile of papers on the desk and looked around the room."I know some of you feel unhappy or embarrassed to be in this class," she began."But listen carefully — this is not the end of your journey."
The room grew quiet.Even the sleepy boy in the back lifted his head slightly.
Arpi continued,"Inside Khagrachari Hunter Academy, students are divided by rank.At the very top, we have the S Class, filled with prodigies and strong awakened ones.Then come A, B, C, D, E, and finally, F Class — our class."
She paused, letting the words sink in.
"The academy's rule is simple. Every month, there will be a ranking test.If you score high, you move up.If you score low, you move down.And if you stay at the bottom too long…"She looked at them softly."…you'll be expelled from the academy."
A few students swallowed nervously.
Then Arpi smiled again, her voice turning encouraging."But don't lose hope. F Class isn't failure — it's your starting point.If you put in effort, even a student from F Class can rise to S Class someday."
The class atmosphere lightened.A few students nodded to themselves, feeling a spark of motivation.
At the back, Alokita stretched and muttered under his breath,"Monthly test, expulsion, effort… all sounds like extra work."
Arpi's eyes landed on him."You there — the one talking. What's your name?"
"Ah… Alokita Chakma, ma'am."
She smiled faintly. "Alokita, I hope you'll at least try. Effort, no matter how small, can change your future."
He gave a half-smile. "I'll… try a little, I guess."
A few students chuckled quietly, and Arpi shook her head, smiling softly."At least you're honest."
Later, Arpi handed everyone a small handbook — the F Class schedule.Alokita flipped through it and sighed."Morning run, combat drills, mana practice… no naps listed anywhere."
[System Warning: Laziness detected.]
He froze. "Okay, okay, I'll behave."
That night, lying in his dorm bed, he stared at the ceiling and whispered,"Fine. I'll just do what's needed to pass. Thirty-three points every time."
And with that brilliant plan, he fell asleep, snoring peacefully — completely unaware that his quiet days were only beginning.
