Trials and Training

I'm drawn to books where the protagonist goes through some sort of trial and/or training, often in some sort of education system or tournament. They start out green and make it through on cleverness, grit, and wanting it more than everyone else, eventually becoming a master at whatever it is they're doing. Most of the time it's some sort of combat that drives the trials/training, but sometimes it's about becoming competent at something less violent.

Trials and training books I liked:

• Red Rising by Pierce Brown
• Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
• Brandon Sanderson's whole catalog (Mistborn, Stormlight, etc.)
• Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss
• Dune by Frank Herbert
• Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
• Sarah J. Maas' whole catalog (ACOTAR, Throne of Glass, etc.)
• The Rage of Dragons by Evan Winter
• Blood and Steel by Helen Scheuerer
• Quicksilver by Callie Hart
• Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb
• Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
• Blood Song by Anthony Ryan
• An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir
• The Poppy War and Babel by R.F. Kuang
• Spark of the Everflame by Penn Cole
• The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent

Other similar books/series that didn't quite hit the mark for what I'm looking for

• The Hunger Games
• Harry Potter
• Eragon
• The Wheel of Time
• Shield of Sparrows
• Empire of the Vampire
• The Awakening
• Blood over Bright Haven

Thank you if you can give me more books like this!
