Summary of Solo Leveling Manga Chapter 166
A final practical examination at the academy puts Su-ho’s class through a high-difficulty simulated gate scenario with reduced instructor support. The design of the scenario is clearly intended to test Su-ho specifically — the academy has calibrated it to require leadership and creativity rather than just raw power. Su-ho recognises this and appreciates it. He guides his team through the scenario using the minimum of his own power and the maximum of the collective capability of the people around him. The team scores highest overall. He is satisfied.
