The Magic Armament Assessment entered its second day without any major hiccups.
Of course, "without any major hiccups" only meant that the process itself went relatively smoothly. As for the atmosphere at the venue and the discussions afterward, they had long since exploded—everyone was talking about one thing: What exactly was Fangting City?
If Little Brocade, the Magical Girl who took first place in the first live-combat event, could still be dismissed as a coincidence, then it became impossible to ignore when the standout performer in the second event was once again a Magical Girl from "Fangting City."
Even though this event had not truly concluded and the final day still held some uncertainty, the unprecedented "SS" rating was already destined to become the glory of the Magical Girl codenamed White Rose. Anyone with eyes could see it: even if another candidate managed to surpass her, so what? What mattered about the Kingdom assigning this rating was not the rating itself, but the fact that they were willing to create an entirely separate tier for it! Such a degree of importance could hardly be shaken by mere exam results.
To put it more bluntly, once a Magical Girl's Magic Armament earned this level of evaluation from the Kingdom's upper ranks, whatever scores she received in the remaining events no longer mattered. Even if she failed every other subject, the Kingdom would never abandon someone with such talent. A lack of knowledge could be remedied through study, and a lack of combat ability through training, but talent was not something that could be gained through effort.
Thus, once everyone realized that the Magical Girl named White Rose was destined to become the focus of this assessment, the question of "What exactly is Fangting City?" instead became the heart of the matter.
