'Hmm, after fighting Jin I got to know more about my weaknesses and with a bit of training I have made a breakthrough, although it's not a huge one but even a little enhancement in strength is still considerable.' (Rio)

'Although the speed of my advancement has slowed down considerably, I am still progressing steadily. All my skills have reached the 'B' rank from 'B-' rank.' (Rio)
'But, I still have a long way ahead, I am not even halfway there yet.' (Rio)
Suddenly Rio remembered what happened yesterday while training…
.
Yesterday, the Training area
All the students has gathered in the huge hall and were now chatting happily with their friends, of course, Rio was standing quietly in the corner without any care in the world.
After half an hour, Mr. Jin suddenly appeared in the center of the hall out of nowhere. Obviously, he must have been so fast that no one was able to find him when he appeared all of a sudden. But his deep and domineering voice made the students put their attention directly on him:
"Good Morning everyone, I assume everyone is here by now, so let's start with the class now. All the close-ranged warrior-type individuals stand on the right side and the other types stand on the left side." (Jin)
Everyone did the same, students with classes like a swordsman, martial artist, knight, spearman, etc. all stood on the right side, while the students with courses like a mage, archer, summoner, healer, etc. stood on the left side.
After all the students sorted out, Mr. Jin said:
"Now, all the students in the left group containing healer, archer, etc. your first task is to run ten laps of this hall, I would not hear any excuse even if you are all not good in physical fitness compared to the right group you also need to work on your physique a bit to stay healthy, start now….Go!" (Jin)
The quick-witted students immediately made a run for it, but there were still many confused students, who didn't run immediately and were left behind.
Jin suddenly appeared behind the last student and gave him a slap on the face, the student's face directly collided with the floor and made small cracks on the floor, the student was now coughing blood, but Jin remained cold.
"I said run, otherwise, you all gonna end up like him! And you four over there carry this guy with you to ask a healer type to heal him, run go! Or do you want the tonic too?" (Jin)
A chill ran down the student's back and from the previous good impression of Jin now he looked like a demon in the student's eyes. The students ran desperately in order to not get the slap and end up like the other guy who was forced to kiss the floor until it cracked.
The previous cheerful atmosphere suddenly became grim and heavy, in just a few minutes.
Looking at the students now running as if their lives were on the line, Jin felt quite satisfied:
'These guys from classes like mage etc. have become too physically unfit due to them never needing to focus on their physique, now even if I make them train to death it would not be that effective, and there's not enough time, the exams are just two months away…' (Jin)
'So, the only way to increase their physical fitness is by making them believe that their life is online, only then can their body improve fast enough… although some of them might get trauma that can be healed by the psychic of our university so there's no problem in this…' (Jin)
'I can't believe how good my plan is these students must be loving me right now for my generosity.' (Jin)
"kukuku…" (Jin)
Looking at Jin's evil face and hearing his devilish laugh students became even more frightened and ran even faster.
'It's working! It's working! I am a genius!' (Jin)
After observing students running for a while, Jin diverted his attention to the other student's group, the close-range warrior group.
"First, you black hair kid, you stand aside and that red-haired kid you also stand aside. Yeah, now the rest of you choose a partner to spar for yourself. Fast!" (Jin)
While Rio and Link stood looking at each other in confusion, all the other students chose their partners to spar with. After a while, all students chose their partners.
"Now, you have to spar with each other, you all go and choose a place for yourself to spar, but remember one thing you are not allowed to kill the opponent rest is still manageable depending on the situation. Good now go." (Jin)
While the students were just about to disperse, Jin had a sly smile on his face as he said:
"Ah! One more thing! The losers will have to double the training the academy allots as punishment, so you better not lose…" (Jin)
Sudden desperation appeared on every student's face, they immediately started to look at each other as their lifelong enemy. After all double the training is no joke, you will have to complete the whole training regimen twice, even doing it once is a huge difficulty for most of the students, and twice is like an impossible task.
The academy assigns a training regimen to all the students at the end of every week, in which they have to fulfill the minimum requirements to successfully complete their regimen.
The requirements are like 'ABC no. of squats, ABC no. of push-ups, etc.' (Here 'ABC' is different for every student so I am not writing a permanent one.)
After hearing the punishment, the spars between students which should be friendly on any other occasion, have now become desperate struggles to win and not get punished by their demonic teacher.
'Seeing the enhanced determination of these students I am sure they will get much stronger in the upcoming day, Alas, I can't take their class for the whole year, otherwise, their minds might get damaged, but it's okay for a week or two, at least their strength would improve much more drastically.' (Jin)
After confirming that the student are fighting properly and had enough determination, Jin finally looked at the last two students left, who seemed to stand in confusion.
(Of course, Rio already knows what is going to happen...)
'I can't see Fade anywhere, according to the novel he was also chosen by Jin, so there must be three individuals including me, but now Fade is nowhere to be seen, I wonder where did that guy go…' (Rio)
"you know why I made a step aside out of all the students…. That's because you two are too strong for the rest of the students to fight against and even if I make you fight each other there's not gonna be any progress… Afterall you both seem to have already mastered the basics to the core." (Jin)
"So, there's only one way, I will train you both personally, get ready to fight me…" (Jin)
An excited look appeared on Jin's face and he looked at the two students as if he was looking at his prey…
Link suddenly raised a question though:
"But teacher, how do you know that we are stronger than others?" (Link)
"haha, who do you think I am kid? I already have an official title given by the alliance, which means I have been through hundreds of battles and I have already faced thousands of opponents, all my experience from the battlefield has honed my intuition and perception to a great amount, and I can feel that you red hair kid have the aura as dense and strong as a B-ranker.." (Jin)
"As, for you black hair kid, you are strange, even my strong perception isn't working on you, I truly wonder how strong you might be…" (Jin)
"But don't worry I am not so nosy that I will force you to spill your secrets, after all everyone has their secrets…" (Jin)
Rio could see the unhidden curiosity on Jin's face…
'Ah! That must be because of the 'True Immunity' skill' (Rio)
But of course, Rio wouldn't tell this to Jin.
