chapter 21
21 – Special Exam
Me, Haki, and Freya entered the arena.
Freya asked Haki.
“Mr. Haki, do you have any weapons in your possession?”
“No, no.”
For some reason, Haki’s face was so fine that no one could tell that he had just cried sadly.
“Then use whatever you like here in the arsenal.”
In the arsenal in the arena, there were various weapons such as swords, bows, spears, and shields, as well as crossbows, gloves reminiscent of Wolverine, and hammers.
There are so many weapons, I thought I would think for a long time, but Haki quickly chose the weapon he would use.
Among many weapons, Haki chose…
A scythe?
“Are you sure you want to use it?”
“Yes, Hestia Academy, the weapon level is very high. It fits perfectly in the hand.”
Saying that, Haki spun a scythe as tall as herself.
It must have been true that he was used to his hands.
“Who the hell did you learn from?”
“This is the teacher I met before entering Celle. You said you made a name for yourself in the past, don’t you know?”
I don’t know. I had never heard the name of an adventurer or knight with a scythe after becoming an adventurer.
“Not at all. Don’t you know the name?”
“I don’t know. He didn’t tell me his name.”
“Come to think of it, I think I saw it in a [War of the Empire] Book that happened 700 years ago.”
Freya continued talking as if she understood what I was talking about.
“Oh, I know. He collected all the heads he cut off in the Great Empire War and presented them to the emperor, and it is said that there are over 30,000 heads…”
That’s not going to happen.
“Anyway, let’s start the exam soon.”
“Yes, brother.”
Me and Haki got into a fighting stance.
The look of Haki holding a huge scythe and staring at him was like a god of death taking his life.
I said with a smile.
“Hockey, you better play with all your might.”
“Yes, I will do it with all my might.”
“Then let the countdown begin! 3…..2…”
It was then.
“Ah!”
I looked to the right at the familiar voice and saw Abur and Kavri coming in together from the entrance of the arena.
“Professor Ichle!”
Kabry found me and came running, followed by Abur… What’s wrong with his expression? What did i do wrong
But I quickly relaxed my expression and came out to say hello to Freya-sama.
“Hello.”
“Hello, Principal Freya.”
“What are you doing here?”
At the arena, which was full of tension before the start of the battle, the atmosphere was relieved by the appearance of Kavri with a smile on his face.
“What are you doing?”
“We have a magic theory class in 30 minutes, and the professor said that there is something we need for the class in the arena, so I came to pick it up.”
“Really?”
“Yes… Ah! Who is this?”
“My name is Hockey. Hockey Gadib.”
Hockey introduced himself.
“I’m going to take the Hestia Academy’s special exam. If I pass, I might become a senior.”
“Ah. Is that so? Then can I take a look?”
“Well…”
“I don’t care. Brother.”
“Wait a minute, professor”
“Why?”
“What do you mean older brother?”
“Oh that’s…”
“Because you are my brother.”
“Are you talking about blood relatives?”
“Yes.”
“Heo Eok!”
Surprised, Kavri took a deep breath and suddenly grabbed Haki’s hand and said,
“Let’s get along!”
Good. Hockey already has a friend.
Praia said.
“It doesn’t matter if you want to watch the Cabrio students and the Avure students. I’ll set up a barrier.
“Yes thank you!”
“It’s an honor!”
“It is more honorable for us to see our precious students grow and succeed.”
Freya’s smile as she spoke was truly angelic.
“Then let’s get started properly. Battle…Ready!”
Once again me and hockey got into position.
“3…2…1…Start!”
At the same time, a hockey scythe came flying at me.

“Abuir, there are supplies needed for the next class in Kaburi. Please bring them.”
“What is it?”
“It’s an attribute modification.”
“Modify properties?”
“It’s a glass marble the size of a soccer ball, and it will tell you which magical attribute you’re most suited to. Fire, water, wind, and so on.”
“It’s very interesting.”
“Then, the price is very expensive.”
“You must never drop it.”
“No hehehe, it’s okay. The property modifier is so hard that it won’t break easily even with most attacks. Then I’ll ask you.”
“Yes”
“Yes”
Avure is in a very good mood right now. It’s an errand, but it’s because I have time to be alone with Cabri.
‘Isn’t this already a date?’
It was written as a word that means a man and a woman in Raina’s romance novels meet together and spend time alone.
‘Senior Cabri seems to be a man, but…’
It was so much fun being together.
The battlefield is far away. In the first place, it was unavoidable because it was a huge Hestia Academy, but Abur was good anyway.
“Senior Kabri.”
“Huh?”
“Chibi-senpai, what did you want to become in the future?”
“I… Sorry, I honestly don’t know.”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about… That’s unexpected.”
“Why?”
“I knew you were going to be an adventurer.”
“Honestly, I originally intended to be an adventurer.”
“So what?”
“But suddenly I want to be a professor.”
“You don’t know what else you want to do?”
“Yes.”
Abur, who heard Kabri’s concerns, said.
“I think that if you are a senior Kavri, you will be good at anything. And for people like senior Kabri, there are professors and academies that guide us. We still have a lot of time. Once you decide what you want to do the most in your heart, it’s not too late to do it then, so cheer up.”
And he smiled.
I can assure you, Abur’s appearance just now had a smile that would have gone unnoticed if it had been an ordinary female student.
‘Wasn’t I just so cool?’
It would have been cooler if I hadn’t thought of it in my heart.
“Thank you, Abur.”
And as if in response to Abur’s smile, Kabry also smiled.
‘Ugh!’
Avure went crazy.
+++
The scythe of hockey flew fiercely with a sound that cut through the sky.
“Wow!”
When I was young, I knew nothing about fighting and had no interest in hockey throwing a scythe.
“Acceleration”
Hockey started to approach me at high speed using acceleration.
At the same time, I dodged the flying scythe and fired a fireball right in front of the hockey. At that time, the scythe that he avoided returned to Haki like a boomerang and was caught in his hand.
“[Enhanced]”
Like I did before, I used reinforcements on my feet and flew forward in an instant.
Such crazy.
Hockey’s scythe contained strong magic power.
Are you seriously thinking of killing her brother?
I put magical energy into the glove I was wearing and hit the scythe wielded by Haki with all my might and pushed it away.
Abur, who was watching the scene, said.
“This is the first time I’ve ever seen a professor use magic.”
Even during 1vs400, even when Abur and Reina made a linked attack, Havir had never put magic into his objects.
That means that hockey skills are excellent.
“It’s really different.”
It won’t be easy.
