This was fairly interesting I suppose, but I’m not understanding the mc is even going along with this. The reasons he does give are pretty half hearted “I can just transfer later”, “it might cause trouble if I retire too quickly”, and “that plan sounds like fun”. For the personality that’s been established by the mc already the last one makes no sense. He clearly knows nothing about the school so why would he even risk passing it (it can’t possibly know if he can transfer or not) and why would it be problematic if he lost the super difficult hero exam early? And take out 5 people (and he has to know if the instructor is one of those 5 he automatically wins). Also why didn’t the guard/staff guy NOT let him just quit and leave? I mean none of this really makes that much sense. It feels like a bunch of stuff is happening just for the sake of it happening. And this would be fine if the author set things up differently (like if he just made it so the mc WANTED to be in the hero course). This is just gonna be another “op mc didn’t want to stand out, but showed off way too much and now can’t be common”. Like I said the scenes are fairly exciting/interesting but the writing so far is pretty bad. The last chapter was entirely exposition and just dumped a ton of lore on us (that could have been explained in tidbits over the course of the series; we really didn’t need ALL of that just to get to the premise), and this chapter has the main character acting completely contradictory to his desires that were JUST established (and other characters doing stuff for no reason).
