chapter 16
16 – Admission Test (2)
Fran Rourankis was confident that he would get a perfect score in this test.
No, I was more confident than myself.
Because there is no genius like her.
Normally, he’s from the Magic Tower, where he graduates from the academy and enters.
He is also a promising prospect that the Mage Tower cherishes.
To the extent that he was expected to become the youngest elder.
When others took their first steps at the academy as a mage, she was already running in the Mage Tower.
It’s about the academy entrance exam.
“It is not difficult at all.”
However, there was one strange thing.
A boy sitting right in front of her.
The boy, who looked rather weak, was solving problems at the same speed as her.
…If you look at the impression, it’s true that he looks really good at studying.
‘But you can’t beat me!’
Under such determination, he was solving over twelve types of tests in an instant.
That boy also solved the test paper at a similar speed.
I have the same desire to have a conversation about who I am, but conversations between test takers are strictly prohibited until the written test is over.
In the meantime, curiosity and frustration only grew.
“Finally, the magic exam.”
The end of the hellish relay was in sight.
It is a test that a wizard, and Fran, who was also a wizard of the Mage Tower, must be most confident in.
She thought as she glared at the boy in front of her.
‘You can’t beat this!’
I don’t know if that boy is a wizard, but I didn’t feel any trace of mana.
That’s just a little smarter.
Still, as if he knew about magic, the boy started to solve it at random as soon as he received the test paper.
Frank, who confidently accepted the test paper that he would solve it faster than that, gasped as soon as he saw the first question.
‘Basics of mixing of the four elements? What kind of academy in the world puts this as an entrance exam?!’
Every time I look at other problems, I get breathless.
The elders of the Mage Tower also had a difficult problem from the beginning to the end, asking who the author of the question was.
The reason why I haven’t had a perfect score so far isn’t because there’s a special secret.
I just did it because it was insanely difficult.
Fran worked on the first problem with trembling hands.
Still, she was proud of being a wizard, so she forcibly solved the twisted problems one by one, feeling that her head was breaking.
A hyper-focused state in which you cannot hear even a handful of surrounding sounds.
At the end of the day, Fran sighed, leaving only one last question left.
“…Whoa… . This is an unsolvable problem.”
A description of the extremes of magic.
Literally, if I could express it, I had nothing to say even if I was recognized as a high-ranking magician.
Also, if this description could be completed at least, that would mean a transcendental person.
The only one who reached the extreme was the few archmages on the continent.
She gave up neatly and looked at the boy in front of her.
We are nearing the end, but the boy is still solving the problem.
‘Still, I’m ahead in the field of magic.’
Fran, who raised her nose at that thought, felt something strange.
The boy doesn’t check the correct answer, but feels like he’s writing about something.
And the only narrative type of the magecraft test was the last question, which talked about the extremes of magic.
“…that’s nonsense.”
“Hey student, please be quiet.”
Fran was pointed out by the examiner, but she couldn’t stop her gaping mouth.
As soon as the boy put down his pen, the examiners came to pick up the test papers.
One by one, taking the boy’s, and finally the franc’s.
“Sleep, wait!”
Chew-!
Pretending that there was an unchecked problem on her exam, Fran took the boy’s test paper underneath it from the examiner.
All the correct answers that Fran thought of were written on the test paper.
This didn’t make any sense, but something more impossible could be seen.
most last.
A description of the extremes of magic.
The ultimate magic that will make you a great wizard if you know it.
“ah… .”
Seeing it, Fran was in awe.
any elder.
At least, not even the owner of the tower can tell you.
Not perfect.
However, it was one of the most extreme techniques she had ever seen.
flutter –
“You cannot change the correct answers on the test paper after the test is over.”
The examiner took the test papers again, but Fran couldn’t forget the spell she had just seen.
She was blankly aware that the boy was staring at her right in front of her.
He turned around and murmured.
“I got it.”
Frank couldn’t stand up at all from the shock.

magic pole.
The hero’s party’s great magic love, something I’ve seen many times while fighting for my life.
Thanks to that, black magic has developed considerably.
Being able to use quite a bit of black magic as an incantation, and being able to bring the realm of fantasy into reality.
Thanks for seeing the extreme.
“I want to find out.”
To be honest, even an ordinary person, no, even a wizard with considerable talent doesn’t even know it.
I only realized this because I died after being beaten dozens of times.
To see this at once and recognize that it is a drama, only a ridiculous genius is established.
“I don’t know that guy?”
The least magic tower master, the greatest wizard.
It’s hard not to know such a monster.
Again, this is also the number of cases in two cases.
Either die or live a normal life.
And the latter case didn’t even need to be considered.
In an era when a country collapsed and the world was destroyed by the demon king, there was no case of quietly secluding even with power.
sounds like he died.
too early
“Why did he die?”
This is also an issue that needs to be addressed step by step.
Of course, it might be because there were so many casualties at the academy this time.
Among them, that girl might also have been swept away.
When I came out after the exam, Caron, who had been waiting for me, served me.
“Bocchan, did you pass the exam well?”
“Okay.”
“Cheer up. Academy written exams are notoriously difficult. If you don’t prepare separately, it’s normal to enter the normal noble class.”
I’m sure I’ll get good grades because I cheated, but I couldn’t say I looked ‘well’.
Yes, there was only one thing I saw.
magic exam.
I think I will get a perfect score for this one with confidence.
Besides, Caron didn’t know that I also practiced practice.
If he had known, he would have comforted him saying that he could make up for it in practice.
“I have all planned out where to go to play until the end of the exam. If I go around all the way from here to there, I think I will be able to enter after the exam is over.”
“By the way, I applied for practical training.”
“Yeah? No, practice is dangerous!”
I didn’t know that it would be dangerous.
Certainly, from the outside, it is because I am not a wizard or a swordsman, but an ordinary aristocrat.
It would be dangerous for such a person to see practical skills first.
“Don’t worry, there’s nothing dangerous, so I’ll give up anytime along the way.”
Of course I don’t think so.
I had to get the highest grade in practical skills, so my future job was comfortable.
“Ugh… . All right.”
“I’ll spend the rest of my living on my own and go home. It’s a long way, so I’ll have to get rid of my travels.”
“I’ll see you at the manor.”
Caron nodded at me and turned away.
With an expression full of regret and worry, or perhaps not being able to stop what I was going to do, Caron quietly withdrew.
“Practical test takers! Please gather!!”
As soon as the written test is over, the practical test follows immediately.
In the case of writing, if it was done in a building outside the academy, practical writing is done inside.
Certainly, the number of people decreased differently after relocation.
Although there are many smart people, there were only a limited number of individuals with strong military power.
Most of them were nobles.
In a guaranteed environment, only nobles can fully invest all their time in themselves.
Or a wealthy commoner with a lot of money.
I saw familiar faces.
Starting with the sword star who seems to have a tall beauty and even charisma.
The window that I saw when I took the exam.
The girl with the big cone hat that I cheated on.
And the noble one who advances the most ahead of the beyond.
Warrior.
When I returned, she was the last thing I saw.
To see the hero of her childhood still here.
He smiled.
It was the fresh days of a person who was so solid and never collapsed, so I felt a subtle feeling.
As I was looking at the hero, the hero turned his head and looked at me.
And even at first glance, the hero’s feelings towards me… .
It was quite hostile.
“…what did I do wrong?”
I made a lot of mistakes before returning, but I wondered if the hero even remembered them.
Otherwise, it was difficult to have such hostility.
While I was wondering, there was someone approaching me.
“Argal!”
Vibrant pink hair. Two red eyes as if they were burning.
As soon as she saw me, she smiled.
Raeli Karis.
It seems like a long time.
“nice to meet.”
“I heard you were kidnapped on your way back to the manor and were seriously injured?”
“It’s nothing to worry about.”
“Lying, what kind of practical skills do you see?”
Then, Raeli checked my hand.
His left hand, which hadn’t been stabbed with a dagger recently, had been treated well and only showed dry skin.
she murmured quietly.
“all… . It’s better.”
“It should get better with time.”
“All better is better, can you see the practical skills?”
Raeli’s question was simple.
So, the question is whether the ability to catch and fight the monsters that appear in practical skills is sufficient.
I nodded.
“enough.”
“You can’t believe it? If it’s dangerous, I’ll protect you.”
“You don’t have to.”
“No, absolutely.”
There was a strange obsession in her gaze.
“I will protect you.”
“No, no need… .”
“I’ll protect you.”
“yes.”
If I refused here, I would have to wrestle endlessly, so I accepted right away.
Raeli then smiled brightly.
“Students, please follow me!”
“let’s go!”
The examiner controls us and takes us to the physical fitness room inside the academy.
Raeli took my hand and dragged me forward.
Do I need to hold your hand?
I do not know.
She was taken where she wanted.
That was when
**
Fran had been looking for the boy ever since he entered the practical test center.
to have a little chat.
to get any clues.
Originally, he was supposed to catch it at the written exam, but while she was bruised, the boy immediately left the exam.
However, I couldn’t find it after all, even though I went outside, and here came the time for the practical test to begin.
Frank was so unfair that he was thinking of giving up the exam altogether.
More than anything else, it’s because you missed the clue of the ‘extreme’.
“Oh, no. Still, we must not forget our original purpose.”
There was a second way.
To become the archmage of the warrior party.
This is also the way to naturally learn the extreme and become a transcendentalist.
“Or the boy could be at the practical exam too!”
In the first place, the fact that you saw the handwriting means that you can also see the actual prayer.
That’s why Fran looked around diligently from the moment she entered the practical exam room with great diligence.
I was able to find the boy right away to see if this effort was meaningless.
black hair black eyes.
His face was a bit pale, perhaps because he was ill, but that didn’t matter.
As soon as Fran found it, he ran right away and tried to catch it, but someone intervened first.
“Argal!”
A noble girl with pink hair.
He wore a sword at his waist, which made him look like an aspiring knight, but that didn’t matter to Fran.
The opportunity to speak has been robbed.
“I can’t do this… .”
Still, I could hear the conversation between the two nearby.
It wasn’t exactly audible, but Fran, who had been listening sparsely, couldn’t help but sigh because it was so absurd.
That woman will protect Argal?
Therefore, such words came out naturally.
“Who protects whom?”
Since it was said openly, Raeli turned her head and faced Fran.
“what?”
“Who, who protects whom?”
It was natural for Frank.
A wizard who knows the extreme is not in the class to be protected by anyone.
To be honest, it’s insulting.
However, Raeli heard the words differently.
She couldn’t protect Argal.
With that, Argal was badly injured.
Rather, it was protected by Argal.
It was to touch her wrath with such disgrace.
In Raeli’s eyes, anger dwelled.
