Academy’s Genius Tamer Episode 14
The morning of the first day of the exam was bright.
I followed Adela to the exam room. Adela opened her mouth in a calm voice.
“It has grown a lot.”
If it’s Adela, then that’s right.
Target aim training, practice drills, and even agility training. He was rolling to the point of exhaustion avoiding the magic balls that popped out from all directions, so honestly, it was strange that he didn’t gain any more.
Oh, my legs are shaking.
“Even if it were, I wouldn’t be a match for other kids.”
“… That’s it.”
What others had learned a year ago, or even before entering Ardel Academy, was only just beginning, so it was natural.
After all, even if I tried to die, this opening exam is my defeat.
The moment I suddenly wanted to drop out at the thought of barking like a dog, Adela spoke up.
“Basic taming is still less important than other subjects, so it will work somehow.”
“… .”
“Because it seems like you’re smarter than Crick.”
Adela said that she was surprised by the speed of my growth faster than I thought.
There also seemed to be a sense of regret that if it had been just one more week, he would have beaten Crick.
Adela wiped her chin and muttered softly.
“Did the practice match also work? .”
uh?
It would have been helpful, but… .
“Don’t you think it will get a little better if you do it every day?”
At Adela’s words with twinkling eyes, I had a cerebral palsy.
Both the aiming training and the agility training were terrible, but it was the practice competition that got me to the point of being half-stunned.
During a practice match with Adela, I flew out of the ring exactly five times.
‘Han Shiha! ok, ok?’
Adela, who was restless, became very serious from the next Dalian.
He hesitated only at first, and then there was no hesitation at all. And those twinkling eyes, uh. Just like that comment.
There is definitely a point where I can point it out.
“You tell the truth. It sounded fun.”
“… no.”
“weird. Why are you replying late?”
“… .”
“It’s even weirder. Why don’t you answer me?”
hahaha, where did you get the experience of blowing up nobles?
These are all novel experiences that can only be done at Ardel Academy, aren’t they?
Adela, of course, seemed unwilling to admit it.
A strong negative is a strong positive.
I was convinced by Adela’s attitude.
At first, I didn’t think much of it, but after doing it, it was definitely fun.
“It wouldn’t have been so much fun if you hit the creek.”
“It’s definitely… .”
“Did I, the reaction was very interesting?”
todo dodo.
Adela begins to hasten her steps at a fast pace.
I also walk a little faster at the same tempo.
If I tease you more, I think I’ll run away, so I change the topic.
“Hey, don’t go.”
Let’s go round and round about the opening exam.
“Crick, what’s that kid doing?”
“I’m much better than you. 30 or so.”
“Ah, is it enough for me to smoothly rank 10th?”
“… ?”
The look of contempt seems to be returning.
“Since then, I’ve never done anything other than first place.”
“It did. from behind!”
puck.
A line comes to mind even in the midst of exchanging nonsensical jokes.
‘Even if you were innocent, I would have killed you with my own hands.’
In the current situation, it’s an unforgettable line.
A roar of laughter flowed out.
Because that line and the current situation did not match at all.
Adela turned her head to the words that came in.
“Even if you don’t rank 30, don’t be miserable. Then I’ll really blow it up in Dalian.”
“It definitely seems motivating.”
“right.”
“Yeah, if I get hit one more time, I think I’ll go back to the other world.”
“… Good job!”
I was going to live a quiet life, but my plans with this guy went awry.
Still, it wasn’t bad.
* * *
lecture room. An assistant professor appeared among the murmuring students.
“There will be a basic taming practice test in a little while. All students, please sit in the front row.”
“Hey, how do I take my time?”
“why? I think it’s the best subject.”
“Students in the back! Stop talking and stand in line!”
noisy.
Even at the beginning of the semester, the students who were looking for ‘liberal arts’ were chatting with each other with excitement, and assistant professor Selenium is trying hard to restrain such students.
Some came in hopes of taming, but the majority didn’t.
Because it was an unpopular subject, a lot of students who could not choose it at the end flocked to this place, and Adela said that she had no choice but to choose basic taming studies.
In a way, I chose the subjects with the lowest competition rate well.
Still, it is unavoidable to be concerned.
“Are you okay?”
I have chosen three subjects.
Exploration of mathematics and techniques, basic taming, and monster anatomy.
Among them, the one that I am least confident about is basic taming.
Basic taming is a practical subject, not a theory.
If I ever had a chance to use magic, this would probably be the course. Even if you show only half of what you practiced, it’s a save.
“Coo?”
Basil shook her head and put her feet forward.
The guy with his tail raised slightly blinked his eyes, and the girl in the front glanced back. At the same time, the interest of the friends next to him poured in.
“Are you a dragon?”
“… Is it Han Shiha?”
“It’s true. Hey, the rumor must have been true.”
The guys in the same classroom were quietly watching and shutting down, but the kids who had not yet understood the situation seemed to be talking to each other.
“Oh, was that the corner you believed in?”
“Yeah, it would have been impossible to deal with.”
The dragon eggs alone are quite expensive.
Perhaps they thought that the family supported it, and the backside has already begun to chew on the money and everything.
Basil growled and her eyes twinkled.
He seemed to know what he was thinking.
“Be patient today. Ask me when you’re done.”
Even if you ask, let’s take the test.
After all, there’s no sense of blow to these kids’ nonsense.
Well, whatever you think.
I was thinking of doing well in the opening exam to the point where I could just beat Creek.
The moment I clenched my fists with a promise once again.
“Everyone has gathered.”
Professor Grint in a square suit opened the door and came in with his head upright. Professor Grint is also a professor of basic taming studies.
Already, a fairly tight score cut is drawn in my mind.
After the students murmured, Professor Grint opened his mouth.
“Let’s begin.”
“Yes, Professor!”
Jusom Jusom.
Selen picked up the list she had brought and opened her mouth with a deep breath.
“Come on, let’s start quickly. Please start with the first student.”
“Adela student of magic and aspiring? Are you here?”
“Here I am!”
The first hitter was Adela. Without hesitation, she stepped forward with the sword in her hand.
Only basic magic attacks and taming abilities can be used inside the cube. Adela was not able to borrow the power of the earth, but the difference in her overwhelming ability seemed clear.
This was not very good news for the students.
“At least it wouldn’t be a joke.”
It was as expected.
“… It’s amazing.”
Adela, who had completely defeated the monster in the virtual cube with one Hellhound, wore a sword around her waist with a proud smile.
Professor Grint gave a quick round of applause and announced the score on the spot.
The difficulty of the tamed monster, and the usability of its abilities. It was a score that evaluated the overall battle scene as well as whether it was a kill or not.
“Five minutes and 31 seconds. treatment complete. Adela student, grade A.”
“Thank you professor!”
Well, there was nothing more to see.
Adela couldn’t handle the hellhound properly, so she had nowhere to go.
It was also the result of a lot of hard work… Well. Actually, it was just talent.
only sophomore. Timing would be the first time, but in less than a week, your skills have improved so much.
It’s not that I don’t feel deprived, but it’s just too much of an other level, so I just admired it.
“you are good?”
He gave a thumbs up towards Adela who came out of the evaluation.
Anyway, if it’s not behind me.
I just need to go out at a moderately ambiguous timing and just grab the monster and come back.
I don’t want anything like overwhelming skills, so I’m just trying to avoid mistakes so that I can raise my score in the other two theory subjects.
By the way.
The words came out of Professor Grint’s mouth, who had been scanning the list for a while.
nothing else… .
“The next student, Si-Ha Han?”
After all, it was my name.
* * *
In most practical exams, the order is quite important. Depending on how solid the wall is built by the people in front of me, my grades may drop to hell, and if the people in front and back are shoveling happily, I can even hit the main hall.
By the way.
take this
Hey, it won’t be easy to stick with this.
I don’t know the details, but from the reaction of that picky Professor Grint, Adela seemed to have done it quite well.
Perhaps because of that, sneering laughter erupted from all sides.
“Is that guy betting with Crick?”
“That bastard blew me away with that dragon!”
“Look at the little crocodile barking like a dog. Shit, I was just waiting.”
Basil’s bites must have been shaking.
He swallowed dry saliva and looked straight ahead.
The hologram window wobbled in the air, and a message was displayed.
A method of summoning monsters from that virtual cube and having a one-on-one match.
It seemed to combine the concept of a kind of subspace into virtual reality.
I’ve seen it countless times in the narrative, but in reality it’s not surprising.
It reminds me of the words that Professor Grint added with joy, saying that the virtual fighter is less burdensome and the taming monster is not hurt.
Wow, that’s uselessly advanced.
A question floated in the air.
[How many cubes would you like to choose?]
There is one monster in each cube, and the difficulty varies greatly.
Of course, apart from that, he said that there is no special penalty because it comprehensively evaluates fighting skills and treatment methods.
“Whoa.”
After all, nothing comes out by staring into empty space.
He took a deep breath and immediately stretched out his hand.
[You have selected Cube C.]
Wei Ying-.
The screen in front vibrates rapidly with a brief vibration.
After a while.
A clumsily sculpted environment appeared in front of the background of the actual field.
… Is virtual reality technology still a bit out of date?
“let’s begin.”
At the end of Professor Grint’s calm words, the surroundings became quiet as if completely cut off from reality.
What broke the silence was a low, gloomy cry.
grr.
“ah.”
Whoops, he turned his head to stare at the monster that appeared in the subspace.
With yellow eyes, he was so big that he had to look up at his head for a long time. And even the bumpy shell.
Snake-like eyes stare at me terribly.
Susu.
Fricative sounds like the whispers of the devil follow.
“… Perhaps.”
There is one monster that comes to mind.
The snake-type monster that Lee Han first encountered when he was in 3rd grade, Adopteon.
Above all, he was a guy who gave a tremendous sense of intimidation because of his enormous size.
terribly big It is so big that it will kill you instantly if you just hit it.
can i catch it
Lee Han was playing around like a sandbag and unilaterally hitting him.
No, I can’t be that monster.
what though
can i catch it
Because there must have been a monster that could be caught.
“Bacillus.”
“dream… right… .”
Bacillus raised his head with his drooping wings as if he had already been slightly pressed by the flag.
However, I had to defeat that monster.
“Let’s just grab it.”
There is no need to instantly kill monsters with a huge gap like Adela did. Just barely enough to grab that guy and leave.
Staring straight into her blue eyes, she took out her shield and swallowed her saliva.
I know his weakness.
“Aww!”
With the sound of a cheer, the body jumped forward.
