The Author's POV

Lock, Class A-25

The sound of scribbling pencils rang out in the classroom. Almost all of the students present were hard at work preparing for the upcoming written exams.

"Argh…why do we have to go through this when we don't actually use this stuff in real life"

Of course, there was bound to be at least one or two students who hated studying.

...but well, what he said did make sense. Most of the stuff we learned wasn't even useful for those of us who didn't plan on pursuing such a career path.

"Exams are next week. Study hard, or you're going to have regrets when the results come out."

Turning around, a student replied.

"yeah, yeah, it's not like you'd understand my struggles..."

Being reprimanded, the student that complained could only grumble to himself as he went back to studying.

In the end, it seems like he was just venting out his stress.

Lightly glancing at the duo, I shook my head.

Regardless of what world you were in, there would always be a guy who hated studying and a guy who loved studying.

I was neither.

I didn't dislike studying nor did I love it.

I just studied for the sake of it...well, that was what I initially thought.

However, looking at the question that was presented before me, I couldn't help but slowly start leaning towards the no-studying group.

[Suppose a ranked monster, Metal Fanged Magelodon attacked you in the middle of the ocean. How much force do they exert each time they bite, and point out their weak points on the diagram below. Extra point : What is the primary psyon flow of the Metal Fanged Magelodon and what is the fastest speed it can reach underwater?]

I was stumped.

I had no clue where to start. Was this really going to be on the exam?

...I don't even remember writing about this monster inside of the novel.

I mean, there were so many monsters that I had to remember that I could barely even think straight at this point.

I understand that they want us to learn this in case we actually met this monster in combat so that we would be able to deal with them accordingly if the situation presented itself.

...but with current technology, finding the information about the monster shouldn't be hard at all.

Just a quick cross-reference with the monster encyclopedia in the app and all the information would be presented before me.

...well in all fairness, I guess it did help in situations where the phone couldn't be taken out or that there was no battery left on the phone.

Dammit, world.
