chapter 30
30 – Camiel
Unitas Academy President’s Office
A man was standing in front of the president’s desk and reporting while showing a recorded magic video.
“So… According to the professor in charge of the Salonir Academy exams…… This examinee…… Are you saying that you summoned the monster Andras and defeated him again?”
“Yes. In the monster battle measurement system, Andras appears only when someone who is judged to have master or higher ability selects S rank. It wasn’t enough to summon Andras like that, and he defeated him in one blow. And that takes 0.5 Seconds. This is something that not even sword masters or archmages who have overcome the mastery wall can easily do. “It is definitely something we should pay attention to.”
“So, you came to see me separately and reported.”
Academy President Kamiel sat at her desk and listened to Professor Salonir’s report.
Kamiel, the strongest elf on the continent, trusted by the people of the entire continent to the extent that the denominations that worship the three highest gods entrusted the academy to him.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Hmm… ….”
Camiel rested her chin and was lost in thought.
After resting her chin for a moment, she opened her mouth.
“The test taker overcomes the master’s barrier. Originally, it would have been extremely rare. However, among the applicants for this year’s Academy, there are many powerful people, including the Archon of the Dark Elves and the Prince of the Empire, but he is a man capable of killing Andras. I wonder if something is going on this time…….”
Her pretty face frowned.
In contrast, her long ears stand on end.
“For now, we will also keep an eye on him as a person of interest. “Is there anyone else who knows that the examinee in question defeated the monster Andras?”
“No one knows except the instructor who conducted the field test. Andras itself is a being shrouded in secrets.”
“Good. I don’t know for what purpose the examinee in question is trying to enter her academy with those skills… “First of all, please make sure that no one finds out about this.”
“I understand.”
Squeak
Professor Salonir leaves the president’s office and the president is left alone.
She looked into space.
“It might be better not to expect too much.”
Even though she is alone, for some reason she opens her mouth as if she is speaking to someone.
“Last time, you were expecting a similar feeling from a student, but it wasn’t the person you were expecting. Considering how disappointed she was back then….”
She spoke as if she was giving advice to someone young, but she also used polite language.
“Yes. Of course, I plan to find out. Do not worry. Yes. All right. Mr. Huffness.”

The next day
Academy Alpha Hall
I came here again to take the third exam.
The third and final exam in the Unitas Academy entrance exam.
Admission to the academy is determined based on this test.
…… I have to get good results in this exam no matter what.
Here, if you cannot make up for the results of the previous exam, you will be disqualified.
How surprised Ecclesia would be if he failed the academy exam and returned home without being able to enter.
…… That doesn’t work.
“I will explain the contents of the third test!”
After confirming that everyone had gathered in the test room, the instructor began guiding the test in a loud voice.
The same number of people gathered as yesterday.
The dark elf archon, Sonia, who spoke to me arbitrarily and then left arbitrarily, was also there.
Will I be taking the exam with these people?
“The content of the third test is escaping the labyrinth! When the test begins, all test takers are sent a labyrinth! “The content of the test is to find the treasures placed in the middle and solve the problems to escape the labyrinth!”
Escape from the labyrinth….
This reminds me of the old days.
Among the traps set up by the Demon King’s army, there was also a labyrinth.
I just broke everything with my force and came out.
Can I just break the wall and get out of here?
“It goes without saying, but if you escape the labyrinth using a method other than the normal method, you will be disqualified! And since the instructor makes that decision, it would be better to think it through carefully!”
…… Wouldn’t it be better not to?
It would be unfair to be disqualified for breaking something for no reason.
Rather, it is about escaping by solving the problem.
Is this a system that can be escaped by solving the problem?
“Oh, of course, the act of attacking the next test taker and stealing the treasure is….”
Of course it won’t work.
There is no way that an academy whose purpose is to select the apostles of God who appeared in the oracle would allow such a thing….
“It is allowed. “The moment a fatal wound is inflicted, you are disqualified, but appropriate checks are possible.”
…… What?
Wasn’t this the place where God’s apostles were selected?
What is it?
Why does that happen?
“Then the test will begin!”
Starting from the instructor’s declaration, the test takers all begin to be enveloped in light.
Is this transmission?
They say they use holy relics that contain the power of God. There are a lot of strange things.
This is the power of our children, right?
Paat
Soon my body was also engulfed in light.
After the transmission, the scenery seen is a labyrinth surrounded by high walls.
The wall looked so high and slippery that ordinary people couldn’t even climb it.
If you use the power of the Holy Sword…… It’s not like you can’t climb it.
It would be difficult to be disqualified for no reason just because it was an abnormal method.
First of all, I told you to find the treasure and solve the problem, right?
I started walking through the labyrinth following the path in front of me to find the treasure.
As I walked through the labyrinth for a while, I faintly saw something shining in the distance.
As I approached the light, I saw a box lying there.
It’s a box… ….
Is this the treasure the instructor was talking about?
When I opened the box, there was a small bead inside.
Solve the problem with this and escape?
What and how to do it?
What more should there be?
…… Isn’t this something that requires magical power to work?
I was looking around at the beads.
I felt a presence approaching from behind.
So, I looked back and saw a man slowly walking towards me and then stopped.
“…… “What are you?”
“…… “Is this what happened?”
Are you trying to sneak up on me behind my back?
Ah. To steal the marble.
You said that was allowed, right?
“hahahaha. So I didn’t mean to fight with you….”
The man put his hands out in front of him and waved them, trying to show that he had no will to fight.
“I just wanted to see who was there…… No, wait a minute. You…… “You are the barbarian I saw yesterday.”
As soon as our faces met, the man’s expression changed drastically.
“This is lucky. A barbarian who can’t even use magic possesses a bead. “I will put that marble to good use!”
The man is charging at me, strengthening his body through magical power.
The speed was quite fast, as if he had some skill.
Kwaang
Compared to the tricksters I saw in my previous life, it was slower.
I hit the back of the head of the guy who was running towards me and knocked him out.
Kuung
As the man fell, a bead rolled out of his arms.
Oh.
Did this guy also have beads?
I said taking it was allowed, so I guess I’ll have to take it.
This is lucky.
To examine the new bead, I placed it on my right hand along with the bead I found earlier.
Perfect
Then the two beads rolled and collided in the hollow part of my right hand.
Then the two beads began to glow.
What is this?
Did you have to collect two marbles for it to work?
That’s good.
It doesn’t require magical power to work.
Wow
The two beads merged together, emitting light, and a message appeared in the air.
Who are the three great beings who saved the continent
Is this how the problem arises?
Now that I think about it, it is an academy test, but I wondered why there was no written test, and why is it evaluated in this way?
“Leah, Huffness, Alia.”
Let’s name our children.
Wow
The letters floating in the air disappeared.
You guessed it right?
Who is the father of Huffness, the god of nature
…… Huh?
What’s the problem?
Rather, the content of this problem… ….
Huffness’s father.
Past life…… Is this my story?
* * *
The reason why my benefactor, Huffness, created this academy.
Finding my father.
When I was offered the annoying position of president of this academy, I accepted it because I wanted to find Huffness’s father and repay his favor.
However, although I have checked numerous academy students, I have not been able to find one.
A new candidate appeared this time.
This time, when Huffness saw that man, his appearance was different from before….
It is still too early to have expectations, considering that in the past, people had high expectations but were disappointed and downcast.
First, change the problem stored in the bead and check.
Is that person really the person that Huffness is waiting for?
Although I don’t think so.
Just in case you don’t know.
