Maria, who was being condescended by Mark who was four years younger, turned gloomy. However, she couldn�t even blame anyone because she was the one who lacked the talent and skills.

�Forget me, what are you doing here? What difference can you make by studying today? That�s why your grades look like that. Come up to the training ground and take a look. Watch us. Observe. Observing those who are talented is also another form of studying, you know.�

�Yes, I guess so��

Maria gave an awkward smile while listening to Mark. She just wanted to end the conversation quickly and leave.

�W-Well, then, good luck. I really hope you pass.�

�Kekeke! Do you really think so?�

Maria�s heart sank at Mark�s sneering.

�I�ve only tolerated you for so long because you were in the same class as me. But if I become an upperclassman, you better be prepared. I won�t forget the time you snitched on us.�

Maria urgently tried to make an excuse, but her mind went blank and she couldn�t think of anything. In the end, she resigned and ended up bowing her head as she walked off.

Mark snorted while watching her walk away. He entered the classroom where the operation team gathered. Four classmates were waiting in the empty classroom.

Three men and one woman. They were students who had been training for a month to interfere with Shirone�s path. In particular, the place they focused on was the situation that would happen within 100 meters.

Shirone for sure knew he was being kept in check, so he was definitely going to go all out in the beginning. Eliminating him by using any method possible before that happens was the key.

They had to be careful since a deliberate collision could lead to them being disciplined, but from Mark�s point of view, it didn�t matter if they crashed into him. He thought so because he felt that their sacrifice was equal to the compensation he was going to give them.�

�So how is it? You guys must have set up a plan, right?�

�Yes. As soon as the exam starts, the two of us will cling to Shirone. In the meantime, the other two will cover you. If Shirone breaks free from us, we�ll at least have another two waiting.�

The number of opportunities they had to fail Shirone was at most two times. However, considering his victory was going to be determined within the first 100 meters in the exam, Mark was pretty satisfied with the plan.

Shirone�s leaping distance was probably a standard of 10 meters. If so, the operation team needed to bring him down within the first 10 times they cast teleportation magic.

�I won�t forget your help today. I will lead you guys if I get an early promotion.�

�Okay. We�ll be trusting you.�

Mark was satisfied. Everything was going according to plan. He was going to be the winner.

�Great! Shall we get started?�

Teleportation training grounds.

One after another, students arrived at the peak that was 1,000 meters above sea level. Since there were no classes, students from other classes were also there.

After today, a student from Class 7 was going to be promoted to Class 5.�

Considering that it usually took an average of two years to pass one class, in the worst-case scenario, it was possible for a student who was 4 years younger than the average to be attending a class meant for older students.�

�Wow! So this is the Bridge That Cannot Be Crossed! It�s my first time up here.�

The participating students were amazed by the enormous size of the training ground. Instructors and students were also gathered on the opposite peak, 700 meters away.

�But why is it called the Bridge That Cannot Be Crossed? Where even is the bridge?�

�Idiot. It�s over there.�

A long iron bar connected the two peaks. As the length increased, the tension dropped. The fact that the bar stretched out 700 meters indicated that it was an alchemical material. JrNovels.com
