The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 198

Chapter 198: Double Standards

Meanwhile, while several pilots were evaluating their upgraded piloting conditions, one pilot was out there trying to pass a class.

One where the teacher looked down upon those students with ’poor’ spiritual power results.

Like one little chipmunk who only got a C-rating to show for.

Instructor Max.

Or, if you ask him, Retired Colonel Maximilian "Max" Thaddeus Starhawk, Combination Mecha Pilot Instructor, Certified Combat Strategist, and Honorary Fleet Commander.

But maybe don’t, or he would not stop regaling the tales of his bravery and medical discharge due to a problem with his pinky toe.

However, that was for students he liked or deemed good enough.

And not for the students he classified as waste or nepotism babies.

At first, Luca didn’t take this to heart. He had expected this, and every now and then, he would still get a few looks of wonder, but after several broadcasted incidents, they’ve mellowed down a lot.

But just because the students were up-to-date didn’t mean that the teachers were.

And one such rock dweller was Instructor Max, who was now taking it a bit too far.

It was too far in the sense that he was obstructing Luca’s test permit from being signed.

First, it was his lack of required hours, which Luca tried to fix by attending more classes.

Second, it was his lack of virtual pod training hours.

And now, it was his lack of practical experience.

Now, while all of those sounded valid, there were even students who had none of those and were able to take the exam, which, of course, caused them to fail.

Only to be allowed to retake the exam until they passed by hanging on by a thread.

But Luca, the little hard worker, figured he was really lacking based on the required items and made sure to compensate.

And compensate he did.

Luca attended all the classes, which were basically a show-and-tell of the Instructor’s past heroic deeds. The instructor also repeated that those with sub-par spiritual abilities should just quit this early, as the military was not a game for ’little landlords.’

And it was a mantra he stood by even when faced with Luca’s excellent virtual pod results.

But maybe it was fortunate that one honest boy couldn’t correlate himself with this sub-par spiritual ability description and would always just attend class like normal.

Much to the amazement of all the other students, who could only flinch knowing who was being targeted.

Who wouldn’t know when the confidential results were posted on the Holo board every day as a solid reminder for everyone?

However, Instructor Max could only get more and more frustrated as the waste would keep on coming to class dedicatedly, never late, and sometimes even too early.

He continued coming with that blasted smile on his face, greeting, "Good afternoon, Instructor Starhawk. Thank you for instructing us today."

It was detestable.

That kid was detestable.

Or maybe that student was an idiot who couldn’t take a hint. So, Instructor Max tried turning everyone against the student.

"Today, we’ll have an opportunity to get several people into the testing phase. Everyone must pick an opponent for a duel, and upon winning, I can sign the testing slip." Boomed the Instructor, who had more or else glanced at the suspected imbecile.

"However, lose the match, and you will be barred from taking the exam this month." smirked the Instructor, who turned it into a pretentious-looking grin.

This was easy, and he even reminded everyone to note the posted ratings and pick their opponents conscientiously.

Impossible. _{freewebnøvel.coɱ}
