246. Nameless 3rd Year Investigator

Good work on the test, everyone.

The short, yet important test period has also finally come to an end today.

247. Nameless 2nd Year Adventurer

I am finally freeeee!

248. Nameless 2nd Year Priest

I really greased my elbow hard, you know.

Atleast, I will score more than failing marks this time. Definitely.

...I think. Maybe? ...Hopefully...

249. Nameless 2nd Year Swordsman

Woah, you really ain't got any confidence?!

Personally, I think I did alright at least.

Burning midnight oil during 1st year paid off this time.

250. Nameless 2nd Year Axeman

Huh? Wait a daaaaamn minute!

I think I just heard something funny coming out from that swordsman!

251. Nameless 2nd Year Adventurer

Y-you're not alone. Coincidence? Because I also am seeing the same thing.

Swordman just wrote about taking the New Grade test.

H-Hey, Swordsman. Y-you should not fool around like that.

You were meant to say 2nd year exam, RIGHT?

252. Nameless 1st Year Spearman

Huh? Huuh? What's going on?

253. Nameless 2nd Year Swordsman

Hey, hey. Now hold on there!

Aren't you all looking down too much on me?!

Despite where I am right now, I DID make it to C-rank once, you know?!

254. Nameless 2nd Year Axeman

You're merely tooting empty achievement. Didn't you drop back to D-rank guild after a month?

255. Nameless 2nd Year Adventurer

I can't believe it.

I had thought we're in this together, Swordsman! I had thought we were brothers from different mothers walking on the same rope!

256. Nameless 1st Year Spearsman

Anyone. Please, shed to me what in the world is going on?!

257. Nameless 2nd Year Magician

It appears our chatty Supporter-senpai isn't here, so let me explain.

The syllabus of the test was different for the students who were tackling their grade's subjects versus the students sitting for New Grade.

In the case of later, the contents were in the range of first-year syllabus typically taught in the first 4 months.

After all, anything beyond will be taught again. You may as well say this was a mere foundation test.

Meanwhile, everyone outside the scope of «Job Transfer System» gave the usual exams befitting of their grade.

258. Nameless 1st Year Spearsman

I see, I see... I see?

Wait. Then what's that about Swordsman-san giving exams over first-year subjects, instead of his 2nd year subjects?

259. Nameless 2nd Year Adventurer

It basically means he went behind our back and got himself a high-ranking job!

You bastard. What did you become?! Why hide that now?! You plebian swordsman!

260. Nameless 2nd Year Swordsman

So it is, aye.

I got the «Longsword Master».

261. Nameless 2nd Year Adventurer

Gwah!?

262. Nameless 2nd Year Priest

That guy really took critical damage just from reading?

That goes the same for me---Gwah!

263. Nameless 2nd Year Axeman

Gwah!

264. Nameless 2nd Year Magician

Heh, It seems like many more are dropping to their knees.

Anyway, Swordsman. Congratulations.

265. Nameless 2nd Year Swordsman

Aye, thanks!

I'm gonna give my best!

356. Nameless 2nd Year Dark Alchemist

Hellooo, everyone! Risen from ashes like Phoenix, I have been reborn as «Dark Alchemist». Yes, I am what was once the Alchemist!

I will start paving my path as the Dark Alchemist now, so give me advice if you can!

357. Nameless 2nd Year Priest

Here she comes.

358. Nameless 2nd Year Dark Alchemist

Hey, hey. What's with that reaction?!

What do you mean she comes? Say it again if you've guts, Priest!

I just happen to lack a target to showcase my new job!!

359. Nameless 2nd Year Adventurer

Gwah!?

I never expected to receive damage from Alchemist of all.

I feel like I am going to suffocate.

360. Nameless 2nd Year Dark Alchemist

And I am saying what's with that weird reaction!?

Can you stop being so vague, and just congratulate like any normal person!?

361. Nameless 2nd Year Priest

I mean, it's just the same old Alchemist.

362. Nameless 2nd Year Adventurer

Congratulations?

363. Nameless 2nd Year Dark Alchemist

Are you trying to pick a fight, or what?!

364. Nameless 3rd Year Investigator

Alright, you can now relax, Alchemist-chan.

I am here to congratulate you.

You sure did it. Congratulations on your transfer to «Dark Alchemist».

365. Nameless 2nd Year Dark Alchemist

T-thank you very much, Investigator-senpai!

I know you'll always be there for me!

You should learn from Investigator-senpai, Priest, Adventurer.

366. Nameless 3rd Year Support

I see we have an explosion of high-ranking job holders.

Frankly, I am just as surprised to see nearly half of the student body of Labyrinth Academy - Main Branch gaining the high-ranking job.

I was waiting for something big to happen as soon as the «Job Transfer System» came to an end, but the calm is quite unexpected.

Perhaps, the pressure from the approaching test had kept it in confinement, but they sure did manage to stop themselves from making noise and put themselves in study.

Oh well, but now that the test period is over, it's pandemonium everywhere now that they've finally got a chance to release their excitement.

367. Nameless 2nd Year Adventurer

And I thought I can finally relax after stressful exams.

Hey, what should I do now? I feel something gouging out from inside each time I hear the triumphant "I have acquired the High-ranking Job" when I couldn't do it.

368. Nameless 2nd Year Magician

Grit through it.

369. Nameless 3rd Year Investigator

Regardless, we now have class change to hold our breaths for.

The eyes are certainly in New Grade, but the rest of grades are also under attention.

There will definitely be some who managed to gain a High-ranking job, but failed in getting to New Grade. This is something to wait for.

This is going to upset the class reshuffle by substantial margin.

370. Nameless 2nd Year Priest

Gulp.

Speaking of, I heard from rumours that they're not going to add marks from our job level evaluation this time. Is this true?

371. Nameless 3rd Year Investigator

This academy is run by meritocracy.

Of course, merit means definite strength in the form of job level. This is also why so many high level students were in the lower number classes.

But with an implosion among the high-ranking job holders, there are very few advocating to take levels as one of the criteria now.

Well, they're just exaggerating that they're not going to evaluate them at all. But yes, job levels aren't as important a factor now.

372. Nameless 3rd Year Supporter

Sure enough, it will be academic strength that would be the primary deciding factor for class reshuffle.

What's the worth of a high level when you're sitting at the lowest rung in studies.

That's why, unlike the norm, the attention is on Inter-class competition, and unlike levels, they will be gauging out the prowess of the truly capable from among them.

373. Nameless 2nd Year Priest

To put it bluntly, you must be master of both the pen and the sword.

374. Nameless 3rd Year Investigator

Then again, the candidates for New Grade are all sitting at zero level. So it's more that they can't use that as much as they should.

375. Nameless 3rd Year Supporter

Apparently, there are still some who also went through job transfer even before the announcement of the «Job Transfer System», or during the «Job Transfer Prohibition» period after receiving permission.

There are even some reckless fellas who went through job transfer without permission. They're definitely more than just a few.

These people have raised their levels in the time period too.

The measure has been taken for that. You can't just hope to place into Class-1, the crown of the academy, with a simple level advantage while falling head first in academics.

And then, it would be unfair to evaluate the New Grade students without level measurement. So, they're using the same metric for all grades.

376. Nameless 2nd Year Swordsman

You say it so easily, but isn't that a huge change?!

377. Nameless 3rd Year Supporter

Well, yeah.

It would've been impossible to implement the same in the past.

But, this also reflects the attention this «Job Transfer System» is receiving from all over the world.

The more attention there is, the more merits come to Class-1.

The Academy certainly can't afford to fumble here.

378. Nameless 3rd Year Investigator

To add further, the applications for next year enrollment are estimated to grow by 60% in contrast to this year.

It appears there is even an increase in application from the other branches on the pretext of 'cultural exchange' to allow their students inside.

I fear the hardship of the Academy has a long way to go.

395. Nameless 2nd Year Priest

Between, Alchemist. Have you finally gotten over Brave?

Compared to your crashout from failing interview, you are unusually excited.

396. Nameless 2nd Year Dark Alchemist

Fufufu. To tell you the truth, Brave-kun gave me the notes to 'strongest training manual'!

I might truly have a solid chance as long as I follow this to heart!!

Just you wait! I am going to become the ideal Dark Alchemist Brave-kun seek and take in the next interview!!

397. Nameless 2nd Year Adventurer

Whaaaat?! You're not pulling our legs, do you!?

Brave actually took notice of Alchemist?! Maybe he misunderstood you with someone else?!

398. Nameless 1st Year Female Soldier

Huh? Alchemist-senpai also got it?

As a fact, I also received notes to guide me.

399. Nameless 3rd Year Investigator

Heh, Brave-kun sure knows how to do some things.

I haven't figured out if there's some other reason, or he saw them as someone with prospects, but indeed, he did give advice to several students to guide them after they're gone through «Job Transfer».

400. Nameless 2nd Year Priest

What?

I...I didn't get anything.

401. Nameless 2nd Year Adventurer

Let me get it. So, what I am seeing is that the notes teach you how to become strong, right? RIGHT?!

I beg you, Alchemis. Can you show that to me!!?

402. Nameless 2nd Year Dark Alchemist

To you? No way.

T/N - Vol.2 illustration page has been fixed! (Really had to dig in my too many folders). But it appears Vol.1 page is also bugged, and Vo.10 page need to be confirmed. Welp, this weekened.
