Chapter 556: Chapter 240 Not Enough Merit Points (Two in One Mega Chapter)
The bystanders, seeing Rein being called over by Instructor Kurman, had long been all ears.
Now, hearing that the instructor wanted to spar with Rein, they were immediately excited!
At the moment, Rein, who was about to follow Kurman, heard a voice coming from nearby. It seemed to be another instructor’s evaluation of Evelyn, who was holding some documents and reading softly:
“Eveline Norman, below average in Strength, average in speed, above average in fire witchcraft, average in Knight Combat Skill, average in combat reaction, and above average in combat decision-making.”
“Hmm, the examiner’s evaluation and recommendation for you is that you have certain independent combat capabilities and are suggested to serve as an attacker in a Sword Bearer squad, with an overall potential assessed as average.”
“Of course, this is merely based on your performance during the preliminary assessment; the organization fully respects each individual’s will.”
...
“The relevant training content and recommended mentor(s) are as follows…”
Rein immediately understood.
This was what a normal evaluation report looked like.
His own report, on the other hand, was an exception…
As Rein followed Kurman into a small training room, the hall’s newcomers looked disappointed.
They went into a small room?
There went their chance for a feast for the eyes!
Some were looking forward to Rein being properly dealt with by Instructor Kurman. Now, they were still tiptoeing and peering into the training room, but unfortunately, the door was closed…
Inside the small training room.
Rein and Kurman stood in the center of the area.
Only now did Rein have the chance to take a good look at Kurman, the Warhammer instructor. The man’s skin was somewhat brown, whether from being tanned or it was his natural skin tone weren’t clear, and his body was incredibly muscular—a physique that looked as tough as a lump of iron.
He was half a head taller than Rein, standing at around two meters and a bit.
Another thing was the Two-Handed Warhammer he carried on his back, approximately one and a half meters in length, silvery-gray, and appearing not to be made from a single metal but rather a mix, clearly quite heavy at first glance.
“I heard two days ago that someone in this batch’s preliminary assessments knocked down an Obsidian Giant with a single hammer strike. Today, I’ve finally met the person.” Kurman said with a grin.
“In the upcoming bout, I’ll gradually increase my Strength and speed, whereas you, Rein, should go all out without worrying about injuring me. You managed to defeat an Obsidian Giant, so in my eyes, you are already on par with me, I won’t take you lightly,” Kurman said with a serious expression.
“Alright, then I’ll be counting on Instructor Kurman’s guidance,” Rein said, bowing slightly.
The next second, “Swoosh!”
The two figures both dashed and collided rapidly.
“Clang!!!”
As their Warhammers crossed for the first time, an ear-piercing clashing of metal sounded!
Rein’s hands immediately felt numb.

From this exchange, Rein had gauged the strength of Instructor Kurman, who was most likely a Peak Knight.
Although this was just a test, Rein didn’t intend to go easy nor cheat. Instead, with a determined look in his eyes, he chose to take this seriously to accurately determine his deficiencies and facilitate future improvement.
“Clang! Clang!”
Soon, Rein found that the following second blow was stronger than the first, and as soon as the second blow concluded, the third followed swiftly; Kurman’s Warhammer attacks were relentless!
Moreover, just like he said at the beginning, the Strength and speed of each of Kurman’s strikes were increasing with each blow!
This put a considerable pressure on Rein!
He quickly reached the limit of his physical condition.
“Breakthrough!”
As Rein activated his “Breakthrough,” his speed and Strength surged, but Kurman’s response was incredibly fast, and after another clash, he also immediately increased his power and speed to match Rein’s activated state!
Thus, the fight went back to the previous state, and Kurman continued to increment the Strength and speed of each hit.
This made Rein’s eyes narrow.
Such formidable strength!
Before the fight, Kurman had told Rein not to hold back, so it wasn’t long before Rein activated his talent “Intermediate Giant Force.”
“Huge Strength!”
As Rein’s muscles bulged and swelled, he suddenly stood half a head taller than Kurman, and for the first time, a look of surprise appeared on Kurman’s emotionless face!
“Clang!”
For the first time, Rein forced Kurman to retreat several steps!
In an instant, Kurman’s figure also ballooned, and he solidly caught the second strike that followed closely from Rein.
This was the first time Rein encountered someone who could withstand his full-power attack head-on.
“Clang! Clang!”
The sound of their collision was deafening!
Even in the hall, the sound of their weapons clashing was clearly audible, and many turned their heads in regret, as if to say it was a pity that they couldn’t witness the exchange between Rein and Instructor Kurman.
Suddenly!
A sound akin to a buzzing bee rang out from the training room, followed by a thunderous boom!
This caused several instructors to show surprise on their faces.
Had they resorted to secret techniques already?
Is this newcomer really that strong? Kurman might have met his match this time!
Could Kurman have been defeated by the newcomer? That would be embarrassing…
At that moment, the door to the small training room suddenly opened. Though Kurman and Rein were both drenched in sweat, they emerged with smiles on their faces.
Moreover, a few observant instructors noticed that Kurman, who had his hands behind his back, seemed to have them still trembling slightly.
