Late into the night, stars shone brightly.
Location: The lobby of the five-star hotel, Yue Yuan Li Gong.
After a full day of rigorous assessments, 212 new students had been eliminated, leaving only 811 students who survived.
Fatigue.
Mental exhaustion.
Despair.
Fear.
These pessimistic emotions, along with the high-intensity assessment training, had left all the new students gathered in the lobby looking utterly drained.
It made sense; it was only the first day, and the elimination rate had already reached a staggering 20%, even more severe than Isshiki Satoshi's batch.
"Yoshino!"
"We're over here~"
At this moment, amidst the dense crowd,
Yoshino Yuki, having just passed the assessment, was looking around, as if searching for her roommates.
Tadokoro Megumi, Sakaki Ryoko, Yukihira Sōma, and the other Polar Star Dormitory residents who had already gathered together, also spotted her and waved, calling out to her.
Yoshino Yuki looked in the direction of the voice, her face lighting up with joy, and she quickly ran over.
Then, she threw her arms open and, with lightning speed, plunged straight into Tadokoro Megumi's embrace, tears instantly streaming down her face: "Wuwuwu… Megumi, I really missed you all!"
"Just now in the kitchen, my examiner was Shinomiya Kojiro."
"He's the kind of person who would order students to drop out even for using hair gel. At that moment, I thought I was almost done for, but thankfully, it was just a false alarm in the end."
Only those who had experienced this Practical Training activity could understand Yoshino Yuki's feeling of escaping disaster.
Therefore, Tadokoro Megumi could only extend her small hand and gently pat her on the back.
"Yuki, it's okay."
"Didn't we all successfully pass today's assessment?"
Finally, Tadokoro Megumi, who was always shy and timid, and also a bit cowardly, began to comfort her.
"Mm-hmm, everyone can gather together again. At such a happy moment, I really shouldn't be so dejected."
Wiping away her tears, Yoshino Yuki broke free from the embrace and couldn't help but let out a giggle: "Now that we've passed the assessment, can we stay in a room that costs 80,000 yen a night?"
