chapter 38
38 – Couplet (1)
“Now. “Then we will begin the actual class.”
The place we followed Professor Leia to was a huge training ground located outside the lecture building.
A training ground of enormous size, befitting an academy created by beings from all over the continent.
It was about the size of a soccer field on Earth in my previous life.
“First of all. “I’ll have to take a look at your skills.”
Skills….
Even though you confirmed it once during the academy entrance exam, are you planning to take the test again?
“Although we have confirmed your skills to some extent through the academy entrance exam, we have not yet seen your true skills. “I need to know your skills properly so I can guide your growth, so the first session will be a test of your skills.”
It’s a skill test.
It is definitely an academy-like event.
“The skills test for this class will be conducted through sparring.”
It’s Dalian….
Should we bring two students forward and have them spar with each other?
There is no need to reveal my true skills here.
With the right skills, you can pretend to be an ordinary commoner and find out which of the students here are the devil’s minions.
Rather, it is a good opportunity to find the devil’s servant.
“Is this Professor Leia, the Queen of Magic? A professor who can understand a student’s skills and potential just by looking at them. “She is famous for saying that it is as if she has the eyes of God.”
Zenith is admiring from the side.
You can understand your skills and potential just by looking at it?
…… I’m sure they won’t reveal my identity, right?
Even when sparring, should we not use our divinity and only use our maximum enhanced physical abilities?
As Professor Leia finished speaking, someone raised their hand.
“Hmm. Is it a question? “Tell me.”
As I looked down along her raised hand, I saw a female student.
“Thank you for allowing me to ask you a question, Professor Leia. “Is it okay if I ask how the opponent for sparring is decided?”
A female student raises her glasses and asks Leia a question.
She was a woman who appeared to be an intellectual model.
It feels like it would be better suited for the magic department or special department rather than the combat department.
“Opponent for sparring? Of course, sparring will select an opponent of similar skill. “A proper test is only possible when people of similar skill level spar.”
Similar skills?
“The sparring opponent will be named based on the score of the academy entrance exam. Then, the two people named can come forward and spar. Did you get an answer?”
“Yes, thank you, Professor.”
A female student sitting down.
“Before starting sparring, the purpose of this sparring is to test obedience. Hurting others should not be your main focus. Of course, since there are many priests in this academy, they can revive any wound… “I don’t want conflicts to arise between classmates.”
It’s a conflict between peers.
It feels different from the Academy 3rd entrance exam, which caused conflict….
“Therefore, means with high lethality are prohibited. This will be confirmed later in the monster subjugation practice, so only anti-personnel techniques are allowed in today’s sparring.”
It’s a big battle….
Then, would it be enough to use only the divinely strengthened body without using the power of the holy sword?
“Based on the academy entrance exam scores, two students with similar scores will be the opponents. The two students who will spar first are…… “These are the two students who took top and second place in the combat section of the academy entrance exam.”
Similar grades.
If that’s the case, I won’t be in the first place.
There is no way your scores on the first and second exams will be good.
If this happens, you will be able to meet a moderately weak opponent and easily pass by.
Without attracting much attention.
“Chief of the Combat Department, student Sonia Belle Noir. Please come forward.”
Is it really Sonia?
Considering her skill level of master, she would have achieved the highest score in the third test, even considering that she slipped because of me.
I achieved overwhelming results in both the first and second exams.
In front of me, Sonia slowly walks forward with an expressionless face.
Was it there?
Now that I think about it, he doesn’t come towards me like he did during the previous entrance exam.
Have you forgotten me?
But that is actually a good thing.
More than that, I feel sorry for the guy who will be dealing with that guy.
I have to deal with that monster with the status of a master.
Well, it doesn’t matter if it’s not just me.
“And second chair, student Arwen.”
…… Huh?
What did you just say?
Did I hear it wrong?
“Oh, my dear friend Arwen. “I didn’t know your entrance scores would be so outstanding.”
Zenith smiled faintly and looked at me.
Really?
Me?
Since the name Arwen is so common, isn’t it because they have the same name?
Really me?
I turned my head to look at Professor Leia, but her eyes were fixed on me.
It seems certain that he called me.
No, what is this… ….
“Please come forward.”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on me.
Really?
You have to go out in front of me and spar with that Sonia?
This is difficult.
It’s not at a level where you can easily suppress it without using any divinity.
I slowly walked forward, thinking of ways to deal with this situation in my head.
* * *
Human Arwen.
I found him during the previous academy entrance exam and tried to ask him what he had done to me during the exam, but before I knew it, he had gone outside.
I hurriedly finished the exam and tried to find him, but he was outside the academy and I couldn’t find him anywhere.
But I don’t think there’s any way that someone with that level of skill wouldn’t pass the academy exam.
I decided to find him here.
As expected, he became a new student at the academy.
So, on the first day of orientation at the Combat Department, I planned to meet him….
When I entered the classroom, I saw him sitting with the prince of the Paraisos Empire.
As the consul of a country, meeting the emperor of an empire in a public place may have some repercussions.
It was impossible to talk like this.
He was wondering when and how to talk to him because of
….
I never thought I would be able to meet him like this.
“That barbarian is second seat?”
“This is ridiculous! “How can a barbarian who can’t even use magic get second place?”
“I guess I was lucky enough to get out of the last exam early!”
“A human who cannot even use magic is the opponent of the Dark Union Archon….”
“I hope you show me a little bit better. This is an opportunity to see the skills of the consul. “I don’t think I can even hold on.”
“Two students should go to the designated location and stand.”
A sparring location far away from other students.
In this place, I will be able to talk to him alone.
“Human Arwen.”
When I called his name, he looked at me.
“You knocked me out during the previous academy exam and left.”
Wow
His magic power was raised as is.
“I don’t know how they did it. “I will take this opportunity to find out your true skills.”
Why is Alia interested in you?
And how they neutralized me.
“Freedom of magical power.”
Unlike before, he did not let down his guard and immediately released his magic power.
Because there is no way to predict what he will do.
“Magic liberation! A decisive battle called the master’s privilege!”
“Is this really the level of a master? “The consul is different.”
“The winner has already been decided. “Liberating magical power against humans who can’t even use magical power.”
“I can’t believe I’m releasing magical power right away. “You’ve grown.”
He talks to me as if he were a child.
Are you ignoring me?
“This is difficult. “Should I use it like this?”
…… What?
Should I use it?
Are you sparing any means against me?
I must not be ignored.
The Archon of the Dark Union is….
Alia’s apostle must not be ignored!
“I am!”
He leapt, exploding the magic power within his body.
The sight of this guy getting closer in an instant.
He filled his fist with strength and threw it towards the guy.
“It’s Archon Sonia Belle Noir!”
No matter how suspicious the method he uses, it is a strike that can destroy everything.
I used the skill I learned from Alia on him.
“Huh? This is the technique I taught him….”
He has a puzzled face.
This is in!
First, let’s beat him up and talk… ….
Wheezing
The corners of the guy’s mouth turned up at that time.
“This is lucky.”
Kwaang
I didn’t understand what was happening.
Clearly my fist was in front of his chest….
The next moment, I was lying on the floor.
With tremendous pain.
