Became a Lazy Confucius at the Academy

6 – Class Placement Test (1)

Head Professor of Practice Magic.

Lefen Chaser started his speech with his back to the wide meadow.

“Was life in the past month enjoyable or miserable? Either way you would have had a month for today. And the test results will be different depending on how you spend this fair time.”

The first emperor, Persotian, did not know about other places, but he wanted to lose his status within this educational institution called ‘Academy’.

It was also because of this that the placement test was held with a one-month grace period. It is a dimension of consideration for children who have not had the opportunity to learn.

As long as the Persotian was alive, this system worked pretty well. At that time, magic was not systematized, there was no such thing as ‘early education’, and-

Because talent is absolutely important in magic, it was possible to fill the gap to some extent in just one month.

“Then, before starting the class placement test that will determine your next year, I will give you an assignment.”

But times change.

Magic was highly systematized and developed endlessly using various formulas and magic materials.

The gap between nobles and commoners grew day by day, and rather than seeking learning for a month, it became a place for socializing in order to somehow become friends with famous people.

Because—

“It doesn’t matter who the target is or how many people there are. Make a party and report to me. The time limit is 30 minutes.”

Because the content of the class placement test was blatantly written to make friends during the month.

After Lepen finished talking, some of them went to the prearranged number of people. Some kept an eye on it.

‘It’s boring.’

Hersy watched with his arms crossed. He thought either way was silly.

Is it skill to flirt with powerful people for a month for this test? Trick.

Building friendships with people had nothing to do with magic skills.

Hersie was proud of the Imperial Academy, but I couldn’t understand this placement test.

“Lady Minerva!”

At that time, a woman approached Hercy. She was Sophia, with whom he had frequent exchanges since childhood.

“Would you like to join our party? Oh.”

Sophia covered her mouth and laughed softly.

“I made a mistake. Would you accept us? Hersy.”

Sophia held out her hand. It was impeccable, flawless etiquette.

However, Hercy was in trouble.

‘…… There is no limit on the number of people.’

Most of the time, I have a party of 4-5 people. More than that could lead to various problems, from food problems to factional conflicts.

However, it was questionable whether Ruid would really like it.

‘I heard that he hates a lot of people.’

Ruid said he would help her test. It means that you will have a party together.

Luid, the baron that Hercy recognized over the past week, said that he was extremely reluctant to interact with people.

‘As expected, it would be better to refuse until Ruid comes. No, by the way.’

Hercy was a bit nervous to be honest.

‘Why don’t you come like this?’

Class had already started, but Louis couldn’t even see her nose out.

Still, I made a promise. There was no way an aristocrat the size of Young master would neglect his promise.

Hercy decided to decline Sophia’s offer.

“I’m sorry, Sophia.”

“Yes?”

“I…… I have a prior arrangement.”

Sophia opened her eyes wide.

“Previously?”

“Yes.”

“With whom?”

Originally, it was an unpleasant situation, but I didn’t mind it because Sophia and Hercy are close friends.

She was just curious. That high-pride Hercy is planning a party with someone else?

“…… With the Prince of Windsor. That, Louis Christopher.”

Hersy was a bit shy and twisted her hair.

“Huh, Ruid? Is that sloth Gongja?”

“Yes.”

Sophia seemed surprised. She glanced around and whispered.

“That’s great, Hersie. Young-shik isn’t interested in it, so he said he wasn’t interested, so why did he do it cunningly first?”

Hersy also lowered her voice.

“Oh, how cunning. Isn’t it like that?”

“Anyway, do your best, Hersy! I’ll get out of here for a while.”

Hersie, who was about to retort quickly, stopped when Sophia clasped her waist and gave her a refreshing sales smile.

“It’s unfortunate, but let’s do it together next time. Then I’m fine.”

Hersy reached out her hand, twitching the corners of her mouth. But Sophia had already gone back.

She sighed and looked around her.

‘Come quickly. Hurry.’

There is no turning back now as long as I told Sophia. She has to organize a party with Louis.

You had to come at least 10 minutes before the start of the test to ask for consent from Ruid and recruit other party members.

But Ruid was nowhere to be seen.

“Three minutes left.”

Hersie was looking at her floor with a desperate expression.

She had no idea.

Ruid hasn’t come yet.

And when she said she hadn’t come yet, that meant she wasn’t planning on coming at all.

‘Stupid. What if I naively believe in that? There’s no way that Louise Christopher would party with someone like me.’

The only one who couldn’t form a party was himself.

Even now, if you approach Sofia and ask to be included in her party, she might be able to belong.

…… Her pride wouldn’t allow it.

That’s right, didn’t I already tell you?

She said she decided to organize a party with that ‘Louis the Lazy’.

‘Stupid. Foolish Hersy.’

It’s already too late to blame yourself.

A test is also a test.

More than that, Hercy…….

“Hercy Minerva.”

“…… !”

“You haven’t organized a party yet.”

People’s gazes were embarrassing.

-Look, Lady Minerva, she’s still alone.

-When I heard about it, you said you were still going to have a party with Prince Louis?

-Really? No way. That ‘lazy Ruid’ doesn’t even take classes.

It felt like he was whispering that while looking at himself.

“Hercy.”

“…… Yes.”

“The time has come, so we have no choice but to proceed with the exam. I’ll ask again though. Are you planning to take the test alone?”

Now that this has happened, I have no choice but to act as if I had intended to do it alone from the beginning.

Hersy tried to nod her head with half-dead eyes —

“Huh?”

“Look over there.”

“People?”

I looked up at the sky at the sound of whispering.

It was Ruid.

He flew leisurely out of the air and landed lightly on the meadow and walked towards Hercy.

Perhaps he was aware that he was late, but his steps were so confident.

Hersy’s expression brightened. However, he soon glared at Ruid with fierce eyes.

“Hercy.”

“It’s late…… ! It is.”

Hersy, who was about to get angry, lowered her voice after recognizing that there were a lot of people around her.

‘Thank God! Thank god! Thank god!’

My head was filled with such thoughts.

“Did you register my name?”

“I have to come… !”

“You have to have the sense to do that in advance.”

Hersy was dumbfounded, but he was okay.

‘… It’s really fortunate.’

I was so relieved that I almost gave up on my legs. Hercy stood in front of Professor Lepen with a confident step.

“Hercy Minerva. Louise Christopher Windsor- These two are the party.”

Lepen nodded and wrote the names of the two with a magic pen.

Then I went up to the podium again.

The students looked at Lepen with stiff faces.

“Before the full-scale test, I will introduce a brief rule. You have to survive on this ‘old plateau’ for a week from now on.”

The academy students gulped dry saliva nervously.

“Of course there are no idiots who think it’s survival— killing each other, right?”

Students burst into laughter at Le Pen’s joke.

The tense atmosphere has eased a little. Lefen raised the corners of his mouth and held something in his hand.

“All you have to do is wear the armbands placed on the table one by one. Whoever loses this armband is eliminated. Of course, those who drop out early will be placed in ‘low’.”

Lepen gave a stern warning.

“It’s unlikely that the students of the Imperial Academy, who have excellent intellect, would do that, but bloodshed is strictly prohibited. Whoever has a question raises his hand. I’ll give you an answer in the next 10 minutes.”

Someone raised their hand.

Lepen nodded.

A boy with freckles asked.

“What is the standard for bloodshed? If violence is forbidden, how am I supposed to take the armband?”

“Good question.”

In fact, all nobles know about it, but Lepen kindly explained it without showing off.

“It depends on what the two sides have agreed to. You can play chess or have a running match. Of course, there is no such idiot. Most of them are usually decided through a magic duel. Of course, there are no restrictions. You can take it yourself if you are confident that it will not hurt you. For example, yes, even when sleeping.”

The boy nodded his head in understanding.

When Lepen didn’t seem to have any questions, she raised her staff.

“I don’t think there are any more questions.”

Blue light emanated from his staff.

“I will start the exam.”

Then, a huge magic circle attacked the students.

**

Ruid looked around blankly.

Many students have disappeared, and the surrounding area is in a dense forest.

“Can we talk to you, Prince Louis?”

I heard a cold voice next to me. It was hersy She pouted her mouth and crossed her arms.

“Don’t you think it’s too late?”

To be honest, even if it was Ruid, I was a bit stung.

-Oh, Louie!

If Amelia didn’t come to wake her up, she was really late.

But shamelessness is the virtue of unemployed people.

“It’s not too late. You came right on time.”

“Ha, that’s true, but… “

Hersy sighed heavily.

“All right. Because it came anyway But later, if something like this happens, please come in advance. Do you know how anxious I was?”

“Sorry about that.”

After Louis properly apologized, Hercy felt better and said Ahem, and put her hand on her waist.

“Ask me if you don’t know anything. Ruid wouldn’t have recognized this anyway, right?”

Hercy said it as if it were a video without seeing it, but in fact, Ruid knew in detail. Everything, even the future that Hercy had no way to know.

But Ruid, who decided to keep the character settings, decided to pretend not to know.

“You need to know what to ask before you can ask.”

“Hmm. I heard and saw it. I have a lot of time anyway, so I’ll let you know slowly. First, decide where to live.”

To briefly describe the class assignment test, it was a ‘battle royale for all users’.

You just need to survive in this forest for a week. There are interim events, but the root was to drop another group, or to choose between the two, so-called ‘Jonber’.

‘Since I’ve already stepped out, I should win first place. And, if possible, don’t run into the main character’s group.’

Ruid’s course of action was simple.

At the same time as winning first place, he does not get involved with the main character.

Because it’s obvious that we’ll fight as soon as we run into each other.

The annoyance gauge must have accumulated while being late, but if you met the main character here, it could have been worse than the original story.

Getting first place is a piece of cake.

It is also easy not to encounter the main character.

Ruid knew very well where the main character was dropped in this vast forest.

“First of all, it is important to set up a base camp by the river. Water is an indispensable resource.”

The main character is in a place with two large rocks in front of a waterfall.

“Wow, you’re lucky. I can already hear the sound of water. Let’s go over there!”

And lots of food like fruit trees and mushrooms…….

-Shoot ah.

“Oh my God, it’s fruit! There is also a waterfall right in front.”

“?”

“Such luck… ! If this is the case, the difficulty level will be very easy.”

… It was a place that was right in front of my eyes.

The main character’s residence that Ruid knew was a horse.

“I hate it.”

“Yes?”

“It’s so noisy in front of the waterfall that I can’t sleep. Let’s catch it further away.”

Ruid began to force himself.

‘I have to get out of this unfortunate place quickly.’

I almost got into trouble.

I’m glad I found it so quickly even if I found it quickly, otherwise I would have run into the main character.

“Where is that nonsense! I can assure you, I can’t find a better base than here in the old highlands.”

I knew that. In the first place, the reason why the main character was eliminated quickly in the beginning was because he was in a good position.

“Well, don’t talk nonsense…… “

It was best to avoid this place for now. So I’m trying to force myself to take it.

-Brush.

“… ….”

I could feel the presence in the immediate vicinity.

Ruid twitched his eyebrows.

Hersy quickly pulled out her wand.

“Get ready, Ruid.”

Ruid couldn’t believe it. Could it be, could it be the main character?

However, a bad hunch always hits.

“Huh? Sophia?”

“Hercy?”

I didn’t have to say the name of the main heroine, but I recognized it at once by looking at the face of the man behind the man.

The main characters were right.

Ruid tapped his forehead.

‘I’m exhausted.’
