From Space Idiot to Professor - From Space Idiot to Professor chapter 34

34 – Reassignment Test (2)

“Then, I will explain the rules and method of the test. “First of all, the testing location is over there.”

I turned my head as the supervisor said. There was a ridge with no end in sight.

In a hazy morning sky, blue scales are undulating beneath it.

The trees rely on each other to form a huge tree.

There, the dawn fog was embroidered like cotton candy.

It is similar to the tomb of a giant. Truly a superb view.

“The lungs of this planet, the Dodecan Forest.”

An artificial mountain range that supplies oxygen to a planet made of iron, concrete, and silica. The mystery of Mother Nature recreated by humans unfolded before my eyes.

I am not entirely happy to think that it is a test site.

“There are three main abilities required from you.”

The supervisor continued his explanation.

“First, the ability to detect ether. Second. Ability to deal with monsters. Third, collaboration ability.”

As expected.

What Sethi and I thought was correct.

“There is a golem imitating a monster in that forest. They are violent guys. “You must avoid them or fight them off to find the ether fragments.”

“What is a piece of ether?”

“It is a chromium compound containing a small amount of ether energy. “You can think of it as a jewel.”

What follows next is obvious.

The more ether you collect, the higher your score, and the more monsters you defeat, the higher your score.

From noble mtl dot com

“6 Points per ether fragment and 300 points per golem killed.”

“What’s wrong with the score arrangement?”

“That is to see the ability to cooperate. You can move in teams of up to three people. Of course, the points won by the team are distributed equally.”

Some students were shocked.

Isn’t it unfair that the placement test can be a group project?

If you tell someone to go alone, they are telling you to go alone.

“Will my score be lowered if I travel alone?”

“That will not happen. But the golems on that mountain are B-class, and it won’t be easy to do it alone.”

Class B.

This is a level that is difficult for freshmen who have just started using a sword to overcome.

Students who are already shaking their arms and legs are starting to appear.

“You may use your own personal equipment for the plasma sword. However, weapons containing constellations are restricted.”

The director’s words were more important than anything else.

I looked around and looked at the students who had brought their personal swords.

Some people were already opening cases and cleaning their swords.

“I’m sure they can do quite a bit.”

Seti came to the side and said.

“I should be on a team with kids like that.”

“Up to three people? “Who are you going to end up with?”

“I have two people in mind, but I doubt it will work out.”

And then Seti looked at me. Her golden eyes were shining brightly.

“I knew this would happen, so I quickly learned the technology to detect it. Thanks to this, my combat power is decent.”

As she said, Seti is excellent at seeing.

He was born with the talent to see clearly the flow of money, the flow of ether, and the presence of monsters.

The so-called all-purpose radar.

Thanks to this, even after she became a CEO recognized in the universe, she was able to avoid attacks from the fire body.

“I can best detect etheric presence here. Maybe.”

“So?”

“I think it would be good to team up with you.”

“Why?”

“You have a better fighting sense than me.”

I see.

When Sethi told me I was ‘talented’, was it a stepping stone for this? To praise me and recruit me as a colleague.

“I was planning on doing it together anyway.”

“Huh?”

“Brothers and sisters must survive together. “If we play separately and both fail class, will our parents be sad?”

“That makes sense.”

Seti chuckled.

“But we can’t have stable fun with just the two of us. “We need one more person.”

“Who?”

Actually, I already expected it, but I asked out of courtesy.

As expected, Seti pointed downward.

It was in the direction where students from regular classes or supplementary classes were gathered.

“It’s over there, we need to bring it back.”

***

If you want to be an eagle, fly with the eagle.

There is a saying that the existence of colleagues is so precious to humans.

Good people make good colleagues, and bad people make bad colleagues.

Your reputation can go up or down depending on the kind of friends you make.

“Why don’t we form a team together?”

It was a meaningless story to Rustilla.

“I saw you were good at handling a sword earlier, right? I have good detection skills. How is it? What we do together is….”

“No.”

The escorting android completely separated herself from her male student.

Defense like an iron wall.

Before Rustila could reply, she was stopped.

“Verdia, did you follow me here?”

“This is my mother’s order. “I have a duty to protect you from other men.”

“I just came here to make a suggestion! Until there was a need to kick him out so mercilessly… !”

“Ha, you are really so naive.”

Verdia shook her head and muttered.

“The young lady is quite a beauty. But they don’t know your skills. “What does this mean?”

“That’s… ….”

“The fact that swinging a sword is cool is only a superficial story. I’m guessing he’s trying to roast the young lady no matter what. “Don’t you know the truth?”

“Still!”

“I have no intention of letting monkeys like that approach you.”

“Verdia.”

Verdia answered, turning her back.

“Still, it would be dangerous to do it alone. To be honest, I think my father’s order to not come in contact with others is a bit harsh.”

Rustila’s pupils grew wide when she heard those words.

Is it because it’s the 5th generation Android that my father spent a lot of money to buy? Unlike Germel and others, Verdia was able to think flexibly.

“There must be good people up there. Please move there.”

Verdia vaguely gives advice.

If you move to the ‘upper class’, the level of students increases. There are Hexagon talents who are not only good at studying, but are also skilled in martial arts.

On the other hand, what about Rustilla herself?

According to Stellarium standards, studying is at the lowest level. The only thing she is confident about is holding a sword and moving around.

She never showed swordsmanship at school.

Therefore, few people know her own swordsmanship.

And yet.

“You are cute. Do you want to be on the same team?”

“Your sword holding posture is excellent? “Come in towards us.”

“You’re from down there, right? “I’ll take you on the bus.”

I received several suggestions to form a party.

He has never actually shown himself handling a sword, but he makes his own judgments and tries to boil it down with pleasant words.

“Please ignore.”

Rustila looked around as she walked.

She had matured enough as an apostle of her constellation to be able to understand the intentions of others by observing her son-in-law.

Except for a few people, the majority of people were afraid of the current situation.

“… “People are shaking.”

“It seems like it reminds me of what happened during the practical evaluation.”

“… ….”

“Actually, it’s obvious. They are afraid. “Wouldn’t the same situation happen this time?”

It was a story that made sense.

“But I think this way. Rather, we should recreate the situation of that time and instill courage in students.”

“… “The teachers said this exam was decided by drawing lots.”

“It is most likely a lie.”

It was a time when I was talking and moving around with Verdia.

“Hey, it’s the Rhineland!”

Someone shouted like that.

Students gather in one place. The crowd begins to form a whirlpool.

In the center of the typhoon, there were two people with golden eyes.

Eidel von Rhineland, Seti von Rhineland.

The golden eyes of the Rhineland are famous, and Eidel is even more famous. Because he is the chief.

“Isn’t that the famous bastard?”

“You bastard Eidel. “I saw it in an article the other day.”

“They say I avoid everyone because I have a dirty personality.”

Kwaak.

Silky veins appeared in Rustilla’s eyes after hearing the meaningless gossip.

What on earth are you talking about?

Just as I was thinking about that, Idel escaped from the crowd of students who were clamoring to be on the same team.

His steps stopped in front of Rustilla.

“We are looking for Rustilla to join the same team as us.”

This was a team proposal that I heard many times on my way here.

“… Miss.”

Verdia stepped forward as ever. However, Rustilla pulls Verdia’s collar.

“Lady?”

“Friends.”

“I see. “I didn’t know because I was just assigned.”

“Yes, they are good kids.”

The calm look in Rustila’s eyes serves as evidence of her words. She doesn’t even need to use her mind’s eye.

But Verdia needed all confirmation.

“Even if the girl next to you is like that, you….”

Her main target was Eidel.

Once you enter the academy, keep a close watch so that Rustila and her male students cannot communicate.

… ‘, The Kersil family ordered Verdia.

But who is Verdia?

5Th generation Android equipped with bio-artificial neural network.

They have five senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell, and they are free to think and judge as much as humans.

Performance of the rules is important, but it is more important to make the current young lady a member of the team.

After making that decision, Verdia approached Eidel.

“A friend, that is.”

She then raised her tiptoes in front of Idel’s nose.

“It’s too close.”

“Excuse me for a moment.”

Once it’s done, it’s fine.

She gave a student representative speech at the entrance ceremony two weeks ago, so her skills must have been decent.

What remains is the vessel, that is, character.

“… ….”

After finishing her judgment, Verdia opened her mouth.

“Okay, let’s do it together.”

“Well, really…” ?”

“You are the boss here. “There is no need to strictly follow what the matriarch says.”

What Verdia believed in was neither intuition nor inspiration.

Maybe science.

The built-in high-speed camera judged how Idel rolled her eyes.

There was no shaking. Even when she saw Lustila, she was calm. It seemed like her mind was preoccupied elsewhere.

Based on the obtained data, Eidel’s location was inverted.

His gaze was directed at Rustilla’s sword.

“I’m sorry, sister. “I couldn’t come right away after the entrance ceremony.”

“No. Are you okay….”

From noble mtl dot com

“Really?”

“Yes, really…” .”

Verdia was lost in her thoughts as she looked at Lu Stilla, smiling brightly.

“Honestly, Rustilla’s parents’ interference is really bad. “I don’t think it’s a good idea to not even be able to see her friend’s face.”

“Hey, you curse other people’s parents…” ! Ah, he was always like this.”

“But the water level hasn’t gone down?”

“It looks much better than when you were flying around.”

That boy, Eidel, made a rude remark, but Rustilla is ignoring it.

No, he is actually smiling even louder.

I thought they must be really close friends.

“Actually, this is my chance.”

“What opportunity?”

“If Lou Stilla performs here, won’t her parents also approve?”

“That’s right! “If you have the skills to cut down a B-class golem, you don’t need an android escort.”

Verdia tilted her head from a distance.

This is a world where robots can think on their own, but it made no sense for humans to not be independent.

In this somewhat noisy atmosphere, the relocation exam began.
