Chương 85: Disappointment

I was conflicted, no, confused.

Even though Edward was in the Lower Class, I expected his Martial Arts to be on a particular level. Everyone seemed to hold him in high regard, so it was only natural that he was strong.

'He's most probably like me… he must have failed badly in the Mana Core Grade test…'

Martial Artists could use Mana to further boost their abilities, so it was actually within reason that they would be tested that way. If he failed the Mana Core Grade Test and still got into Ainzlark, it meant that he must have been exceptional in the other sections of the Martial Artist exams.

Why then…?

'Why is he so weak?'

No, it wasn't that he was weak. His strength was far above what anyone of his age would normally possess. I could tell from Edward's body that he had trained very well in Martial Arts, which was why I had expected more of a challenge.
