บท 82: Entrance Exam (2)

"I heard last year they brought in live monsters."

"My cousin failed last year—couldn't even make it through the combat section."

Levi moved through the crowd, his ears catching the anxious chatter of the hopeful examinees around him.

"The entrance exam changes every year, so no one really knows what's coming."

"Yeah, just hope we pass."
