chapter 19
19 – Admission Test (5)
There was never a small number of students who left.
How many test takers would risk their lives to pass the academy?
The examiner really looked at the remaining test takers and told them of encouragement and future rewards.
“As this academy course is unlike any other in history, we guarantee that graduates will receive special privileges. Commoners will become nobles the moment they go up to the north and promise to be active, and nobles, as well as their entire families, will be promoted.”
It promises a really great reward.
Even if you go up to the north, you will become a noble, and a noble will ascend?
Even if you look at 500 years of history, there was no precedent.
You can only become a nobleman by making really great achievements, and the winning position was similar.
Even the students who were thinking about quitting now began to burn their will.
Even in the midst of that, there are those who wondered if they could really succeed.
“Can you really succeed if you go to the north after graduating from the academy?”
“This is what the crown prince guaranteed. You need not worry about this.”
A guarantee made by the king’s lineage, who cannot reverse his words.
The students liked it, saying that they had a good opportunity.
And I, who knew the whole story to some extent, seemed to know the prince’s intentions.
In a way, it was a trap.
Even in extreme situations, you can’t get out of it because a really sweet reward is promised.
such a trap.
What kind of conspiracy is lurking, why did they even prepare such a trap?
Then again.
I might die to save someone.
“First of all, let’s take a day off today. We will inform you of the detailed schedule tomorrow.”
The examiner handed out a key so that they could go into the dormitory inside the academy and sleep.
Those who received an S grade here received a single room as a benefit.
S rank is five.
Me, Frank, the hero, the swordsman, the spearman.
Therefore, it is said that all the rest except for these are four-person rooms.
The same goes for Raeli.
When she saw the key to the single room, she was very envious.
“envy. Sleeping alone without a roommate must be really comfortable.”
“It is.”
Wouldn’t it be bad to have a room alone.
It really gives you special treatment.
Because there are only five students who received an S grade.
And as expected, Raeli asked about the necklace I was wearing.
“And how did you get that necklace?”
An explanation for this has already been prepared.
Raeli only knew fragmentarily that I had been kidnapped and saved by the church.
You can use this point to tell me.
It’s not wrong anyway.
“The bishop gave it to you.”
“ah… ! It’s definitely something from the church, so I’ll catch the demons well.”
Perhaps because she was unfamiliar with magic as well as divine power, she had the misunderstanding that the source of the stars would catch the demons well.
There was no need to correct it.
the power i have
It’s because Raeli, who is also the marriage partner, is too foreign to know.
It was better to mistake it for the power of objects.
The direction of the dormitory I was supposed to go to and the direction of the dormitory where Raeli was staying were different.
She waved briskly and turned toward a rather shabby building.
“See you tomorrow!”
“yes.”
I also waved her hand and parted ways, and moved to the dormitory that fits the key to the single room.
And I expected it, but there was someone following behind my back.
“franc.”
“Yeah!”
She came right in front of me.
I made an appointment to have a conversation, so when I asked when he would come, he seemed to have come late on purpose considering the conflict with Raeli.
It was definitely quick to turn my head.
Here, Fran is also a wizard who received an S rank and obtained a single room.
The single room was in the same direction because there was no distinction between men and women.
I just had to walk and have a conversation.
“So what do you want to say?”
“That… . A little about the extreme… .”
This is an expected question.
The magician who could recognize the extreme had a great desire for it.
Even a wizard with a brain as smart as hers would rather ask questions rather than plan something.
As I remain silent, Fran is restless as if she is having a baby.
“No, even if it’s just a speck, even a small clue, let me know!”
I can feel her will to take even one step closer to her unattainable desire.
How many times have I seen a wizard like this.
Can I really show you?
After some doubt, I decided.
“Do you want to know?”
“Yes, your app!”
I want to know, but I have to show you.
Extracts mana from the source of the stars.
Art at your fingertips.
Connect each dot to form a very small fragment.
“Wow… .”
Fran opened her mouth in a daze and felt indescribable joy.
Because he is a wizard who can recognize the extreme, he knows how great it is.
That’s why I feel thrilled.

Just-
“Ah.”
However, at the same time as he snapped his fingers, the slowly unfolding magic circles were wiped out.
I was full of regret and lamentation because the things I wanted to see even a little more had disappeared.
“So far.”
“Ahhh… .”
As if drunk, the staggered girl with her shoulders drooping looked at me again with her twinkling eyes.
Unless you show everything anyway, it’s hard to have a great meaning.
Could you show me a little more
“…I’ll show you another one later.”
“Next time?!”
“Did you know this was the last time?”
Fran is engulfed in joy that she will be able to face an opportunity she can never get again.
At the same time, she was questioned as a rational wizard.
“Because it makes no sense. Are you really showing it for nothing?”
“What can you give me?”
“that that… .”
Fran rolled her eyes hard, but nothing seemed to come out.
Or, it’s too precious to give it away blindly.
Seeing your face turn red, is there something there?
“There is, but… .”
“done. I do not intend to receive it.”
“Really?”
I’d rather have something else.
Fran, who is believed to have died suddenly despite such talent.
Wouldn’t it be helpful to kill the Demon King if he could save it?
“Instead, all I have to do is do one favor.”
“Anything I can listen to is fine.”
“Accompany me on this test.”
“That much is possible anytime!”
It was a proposal made both to recruit colleagues and to protect people who could die.
Why does Fran seem to like it more?
…Thinking about it, Raeli suddenly came to mind.
How would she react if Fran was next to me?
Do you want to like it because you recruited a strong wizard?
Seeing that you’ve already fought once, it sounds like you’re not on good terms with each other.
I don’t know.
You should think about it then.
Soon we arrived at the dormitory building.
Unlike the dormitory Raeli went into, it was a new building and even luxurious.
The feeling of coming from any hotel.
“Then Argal, see you tomorrow.”
Fran was accustomed to going to her room even in a luxurious place like this, probably because she lived an affluent life.
When I opened the door with the key, the unique scent of high-quality wood invaded my nostrils.
The bed was better than the one in the family.
No it just looks better than my room.
It’s bigger, better decorated, has a bathroom, a dining table, and a chest of drawers to keep things organized.
“…I’m sure you’ll be very comfortable tonight?”
Is it necessary to go back to the home in a lonely corner of the countryside?
It was such a questionable night.
**
It was morning and the smell of food wafted out.
Not exactly inside the room, but underneath.
Rubbing my eyes and going downstairs, I could see a slight brain freeze.
Francs, warriors, swordsmen, spearmen.
Those four people were eating, each bringing their own buffet-style food.
…It’s a scene that makes my heart feel magnificent.
“Are you here?”
Fran greeted them warmly, and the two-star dog carts ate their food while ignoring themselves.
The warrior… . let’s not talk Now they treat me as an invisible person.
Is this the warrior I knew?
You might wonder what she was misunderstanding, but there was no need to approach now anyway.
No matter what happens to the hero, in the end, the enemy is the demon lord.
A being born to kill the Demon King.
It was enough to guide the way forward, and there was no need to build a lot of good feelings with her.
So, to eat, I tried to pick up a bowl and put the food in it.
After eating all the francs and holding up an empty bowl, he follows me.
There were a lot of things that were unfamiliar to me, perhaps because it was food from a different region than where I live, but Fran explained it.
She showed off her erudite culinary knowledge.
“Confit de Canar is a dish soaked in duck oil for a long time and fried. It’s biting to eat a lot, but you can feel the delicacy of the world in just one bite.”
“It is a dish that boils various seafood at once, so-called bouillabaisse, in foreign words it is called seafood chowder, but it is a high-end dish in its own way. It’s because they threw in all the expensive seafood.”
It was very detailed and high level, so I had doubts.
“How do you know so well?”
“Because I read a lot of books. Mathematics, society, culture, history… . And then cookbooks.”
There must be a reason why you were so confident in your answers in the written test.
I nodded my head and put the foods Fran recommended one by one.
I was curious about her explanation of the dish, so when I put it in, the food quickly piled up like a mountain on my plate.
…I didn’t mean to eat this much.
I was about to move a bowl full of food to the table.
It would have been if no one had carelessly touched it.
Took-
After finishing the meal, Chang-sung passed by and touched the bowl in my hand.
At that moment, the plate bowl whirled in the air and slammed to the floor.
Food scatters in the air.
Cheolpuduck- Tuk, tududuk.
Fortunately, there were no splashes on the clothes.
Changseong went on without saying anything, perhaps boasting of his personality.
I hadn’t seen it once or twice, so I thought so, but of course Fran wasn’t just watching.
“Hey, aren’t you even apologizing?”
“…Apple?”
Chang-seong asked with a face why he had to do such a thing.
“Then do you block the way and demand an apology from me?”
“It’s hard to get out of the way because you’re carrying a lot of food, so you have to yield!”
“You never feel the need for that?”
It’s also stupid.
At Changsung’s forced logic, Fran turned his back and said, as if he couldn’t hold back his anger.
“I don’t want to deal with a person with no concept!”
It touched the trigger of creation.
“Is that an insult to me?”
An ink-colored spear formed in one hand.
A strange artifact made entirely of iron from the tip of the spear to the tip of the spear shaft.
It appears in shape when the owner wants it.
I sighed when I saw it.
Yes, I’d rather do character education before something like this happens again.
The atmosphere was set to battle each other, but Fran was not without confidence.
He was also the best wizard with an S rank.
“Ha, just because you act reckless, I’ll fold it… .”
“Assel Montrose.”
Fran stopped talking when I stepped forward.
Changsung’s gaze briefly turned to me, and he tilted his head.
“why?”
“Let’s make a bet.”
Put your hands on your chest.
The root of the star begins to amplify mana.
It’s the same as before, but since the hero is watching from behind, it’s forbidden to use the dagger’s magic.
“If I lose, I will apologize for the insult.”
There is one distinctive feature of Changsung.
If you bet before a fight, you will keep the outcome unconditionally.
With that, there was no need to ask Changsung for anything special.
Changsung asks.
“Then what if I lose?”
“From now on, when you meet others for the first time, say hello.”
Changsung, who was always expressionless, made a strange face after hearing my words.
I hear the voice of the Sword Saint behind me laughing.
A great magic power surrounds me.
It is time for etiquette education. Changsung.
