I Will Smash Everything With My Passive Skills

011. First Test (3)

The academy in the early morning is filled with the freshness of the dew at dawn. In addition, since a large number of new students have recently entered, their fresh appearance is perfect for encouraging existing students to improve.

“Good times. Huh?”

─ Male voice.

The dean of the academy, who was going to work with such leisurely thoughts, strangely, unlike usual, noticed that the front of the faculty building was noisy.

“He realized mana at the age of 5, subdued bandits around his territory at the age of 8, and helped the knights at the age of 10 to defeat slave traders, the cancer of the empire…… !”

“Ji, calm down.”

“To lose one’s faith on purpose means to die…… !”

“What a fuss?”

“Ah, the dean is here. In fact, a student who is dissatisfied with the results of the entrance exam has been demanding the truth from the morning in front of the faculty building, claiming that he is dissatisfied with the results.”

“I thought it was quiet this year.”

The dean shook his head.

An academy where people with some talent from all over the continent gather. Of course, if you are a descendant of an aristocratic family in the empire, you will be admitted even if you get disastrous grades, but if you are a talented person from another country, the story is different.

Even the cost of coming to Vera Academy right now is not a level that ordinary people can ignore. In addition, with the entrance season, the price of the entire city skyrocketed, so it is something we have seen every year that those who will return without getting any harvest make a fuss.

“Then why don’t you put it away?”

“…… That is, the high-pitched student is Gunther von Haruen.”

“Gunther von Haruen?”

When he heard the unexpected name, even the dean couldn’t help but tilt his head.

Gunther Von Who is Haruen? The son of Marquis Haruen, who guards the northeastern border of the Empire, and a young engineer with a reputation throughout the Empire. It was not easy to understand that such a person was making a fuss by disobeying the test results.

“Why is there a special student?”

“The troublesome thing is that the student is claiming that someone else’s grades were fabricated, not his own.”

“Heh heh…… It is something to live long and see.”

Early admission that people talk about. Even though he was not old enough to perform the duties of an imperial aristocrat, he was recognized for his ability and entered the academy a year earlier. Obviously, it is not easy to overlook that he demands the truth about other people’s grades, not his own.

“Then, who is the student who received a low grade?”

“Berris is a freshman from the Wittelsbach family. I heard that it was classified as Class B.”

At the words of a professor, the dean had no choice but to cross his arms and take a agonizing posture.

Gunther is the swordsman genius of the empire. If that’s what he says, he has weight unlike the average dropout. I wouldn’t make a fuss like that without knowing that.

“For now, send that student back. And I have to reschedule for the afternoon. I will call the student and Gunther to the dean’s office at the same time, so please send that student back.”

“I-I mean.”

“So who else do you think I am talking to?”

“…… All right.”

The professor with a confused expression nodded at the dean’s confident words.

Well, from the position of a professor, you can see how annoying it can be to send that fanatical freshman back to Tyler.

But what can I do? It’s the law of this academy to take it out if it’s black.

* * *

“Interview with the dean?”

“Yes. I went and built a fence. They told me to come to the dean’s office in time for lunchtime to end.”

Veris couldn’t help but let out a sigh as Gunter did something she didn’t ask her to do.

She is surprisingly obedient to Berris. Besides, her name value is not low for a freshman, Gunter, but I never thought she would do something like this.

“Yes, yes. Thank you.”

“hahahaha! Wouldn’t it be a younger brother’s duty to serve his older brother?”

Gunter smiles broadly, not sure if he knows Veris’ inner thoughts, who are already shuddering with annoyance.

Of course, who would rebuke Gunther after seeing that?

Arwen seemed to have the same thought, as he was nodding her head while quietly eating food next to her.

“I don’t care.”

That was Veris’ honest feeling.

Underrated ability? Surprisingly, it is very common in this world. It wasn’t for a day or two that an unapologetic genius was enrolled in the bottom class just because he came from a commoner family without a title.

The only regret is that the unit of support money that is differentially paid according to the student’s ability is different.

“What are you talking about? I feel embarrassed that someone like you is in the lower class.”

Seeing Gunter banging on his chest while eating normally, Veris shut her mouth, as if she still seemed not to be angry.

It was yesterday afternoon that the results of the entrance exam were announced.

Thanks to that, at this time when most students are packing up their luggage that they had left at the inn and heading to the dormitory, why bother?

Of course, it might be lonely that Gunther or Arwen were rated as S-Class unlike Veris, but Veris was not interested in such things in the first place.

Money? Many. Not just a lot, but a lot.

Because there’s a good chance Berris is one of the top five richest students in this academy.

Someone robbed bandits in the territory in order to gain experience from a young age.

The Count and the Countess Unbeknownst to them, the person who has been accumulating private property since the day he took his toes can’t possibly be without money.

In the process, there were times when an unexpected group of demon followers poured out, but Veris had tied the knot, so there was no one to blame.

Besides, I also knew that all I could get was an honor…….

‘It’s annoying.’

I couldn’t help but feel like I was caught up in something unexpected.

* * *

“Whoa.”

The dean, who called the two students to the dean’s office for a three-way meeting, couldn’t help but burst into admiration.

Unlike Gunter, who has an angular face and looks like a beast, Veris, who has a cold impression, looks very good in the school uniform issued by the academy.

“So, you two know what the interview is about, right?”

“I am sorry to bother you.”

“Heh heh, what is there to be bothered about? It is the right thing to do when things go wrong.”

“Thank you for your understanding.”

“Yes. Then, I want to ask you something first. First, Gunter von Haren.”

“…… Yes!”

“Is it true that you wanted to say that this Berris von Wittelsbach student’s test scores were wrong?”

“Yes, that is correct.”

“Yes. I also heard what happened during the exam in many ways. In the process, I also heard some very interesting things.”

After saying that, the dean took a sip of the steamy tea and quenched his thirst. After lingering for a while, the dean nodded and continued talking.

“First of all, I want to hear it with my own ears. Hello Berris. Are you human?”

“…… ?”

It is none other than Gunther who is taken aback by the dean’s question out of the blue. It seems that the dean heard about Berris’ performance by asking about what happened during the entrance exam.

“Of course.”

It was an unexpected question from the dean, but Berris answered calmly without panicking. In fact, it was not an overreaction for the dean to show such a reaction, since the freshman fell into a trap in the dungeon and cut the monsters in two at once.

“Yes, I guess. Do you remember the golden tanning in your group?”

“Yes.”

“It seems that the person in charge of classifying your class based on your test results was the one who received the patronage of the Tanning family.”

“Wait a minute, dean. That sound…….”

“Heh heh, this friend. Can’t you see I’m talking to Student Veris right now?”

“I’m sorry.”

“Yes. In any case, the golden tanned person was charged with abandoning his team members and running away during the exam, and his admission was revoked. It’s hard to live with the status of being a descendant of the imperial nobility. The whole family has to bear such a disgrace. Perhaps the person who sorted your grades couldn’t send you to S class when your sponsor’s self-restraint was canceled.”

After saying that, the dean’s face became heavy. Perhaps he saw the dirty side of his unexpected admission to the academy, but his face blushed.

He seemed to be furious at what had happened this time without even realizing it.

“So, as a sign of my apology for this incident, I have decided to respect your intentions with the authority of the dean.”

“What do you mean by my intention?”

“I want to give you a choice. It is possible to enter the B class as it is now, and if you want, it is not impossible to get a place in the S class. If the abilities you demonstrated are true, you should be at the academy as a professor, not as a student.”

That’s what he said, but the dean knew. It was about what that Berris would choose.

There are so many geniuses in this academy. And I knew that there were many eccentrics with unique personalities among such geniuses, but they all had one thing in common.

The desire to climb higher. He was the dean who thought that aspiration was the growth engine of geniuses.

“I will stay in Class B.”

“Yes, from the support money to the honor…… What?”

“Tongue, brother!”

As if it was not only the dean who was surprised by Veris’ continued bomb declaration, Gunther also looked at Veris with a blank face.

It’s a choice no one will ever make. Really? It was a choice that was unexpected enough to say that.

The difference between the S class and other classes is as stark as the silk road and the thorny field road. Because I made such a big decision at once.

“Can I ask why?”

“I heard that there is a monthly combat evaluation item for the S class.”

“Yes, it is for students to step up to a higher level through sparring.”

“That bothers me.”

The Dean and Gunther stare at Veris with their jaws dropping.

At Berris’s nonchalant words, the dean once again reminded him of what he knew.

‘As expected, there are many insane people among geniuses.’

The strange jinx possessed by the dean, the law of conservation of genius and geek, earned a victory today.
