Episode 13

Episode 13. Entrance Exam (10)

The subjects of Annwood Academy’s entrance exam change every year.

But it’s not something you decide without thinking about.

There is a reason for each sport.

The first ‘labyrinth test’.

Minimum thinking skills, judgment, and perseverance are required.

An ordinary child. In other words, all criminals are eliminated here.

The second ‘fantasy test’.

Is it possible to overcome the pain of the past?

Is it a being that can face the harsh reality?

Determine whether you have an unbreakable heart.

All children who are talented but weak in heart and mind are eliminated from this place.

3rd ‘Sparring Test’.

We see minimal combat power and growth potential.

Executive ability, calculation, knowledge. In other words, there are many smart kids.

Now that the Answood Empire is the ruler of the continent, this peaceful era requires many civil servants.

However, they must also have a certain level of physical strength.

This means that even if you are escorted by knights, you must have a level of not interfering with them.

Therefore, we look at the minimum combat power and make sure that we do our best by fighting without giving up even in unfavorable situations.

The 4th ‘written exam’ that I haven’t taken yet.

Evaluate your current knowledge. There are almost no dropouts.

It is just a division procedure for customized education.

‘So most people probably don’t know. ‘There is a secret test.’

Yes. A system known only to a few within the empire.

That’s what the ‘secret test’ is.

‘No matter how much you check security, there are always rats.’

Even at Annwood Academy, not everything is the best.

Fame, money, status, or something else.

This means that there are things that academy officials also lack and need.

Perhaps because of this, there were sometimes rats who sold test information to large noble houses.

The secret examination system was a device to prevent just that.

‘Since the president changed… … ‘I especially get that feeling a lot.’

It was the same in the labyrinth and the fantasy test.

Not only does it make the path very easy, but it also carries artifacts to prepare for illusion magic.

Elester had no choice but to use stronger magic than usual.

‘Whoa…’ … ‘It’s frustrating.’

If this phenomenon continues, Annwood Academy will gradually decline.

Because everyone who graduated is probably somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

There may have been multiple culprits, but the chief culprit was clearly the president.

‘I was telling you what the secret test was. He also made threats.’

Will he be able to be here next year?

It was a time when Charon was sighing in frustration.

“All of the injured are said to be okay.”

“Right.”

“I think you can start now.”

“… … wait. “I’m looking at the timing.”

“Well, I see. “Excuse me!”

I turned my head toward the path in the forest, but couldn’t see anything.

Not for Luna. All children have to take the test equally, so all we can do is wait.

If you ask why the tests have been conducted so far without consideration and without stopping.

‘… … It’s a misunderstanding.’

Yes. It’s a simple misunderstanding.

He was just trying to proceed fairly, and it was still the same now.

“ah… … What test is next? driving me crazy.”

“When are we going to the fourth exam center?”

“I know. I would only move if I was told to do so… … .”

The students’ gaze is stinging.

This happened because morale was encouraging.

It was when Charon tried to avoid their gaze.

“hey! I didn’t really cry? “I just got something in my eye!”

“Hehe, I see. “It looks like something very large went in.”

“This is real!”

Puk puk!

Luna’s fist dug into Zero’s side.

Zero’s body was bent upside down.

But the corners of his mouth were still turned up.

‘… … You seem friendly.’

I don’t know why, but I don’t like it. A corner of my heart is extremely uncomfortable.

Probably because he was noisy in the exam room.

“The cadets there. Sort it quickly. “After determining the number of people, we will immediately move to the 4th test site.”

Luna and Zero came rushing over.

Charon’s eyes turned to Zero. A child so small that you wonder if he can see.

‘Come to think of it… … That guy was there too.’

It wasn’t just Zero’s eyes that were suspicious.

His ‘skill’ was so good that it was questionable.

‘You’re doing psychological warfare. bouncer.’

I thought back to the 13th group sparring between Zero, Luna, and Raimon.

In fact, Luna and Raimon were not the only ones whose eyes widened when Zero imitated Ilseom.

Charon’s eyes also widened.

It means that even he was deceived.

Charon was even more surprised because he knew that Luna’s technique was not an ordinary martial arts technique, but the secret technique of the Lester family.

‘It’s psychological warfare. It means you have a lot of practical experience.’

You have a lot of practical experience at that age?

It’s clear that he’s a kid who’s been through a lot of bad things.

But why is a guy like that by Luna’s side?

It seemed like he knew Luna’s secret.

“I… … Charon?”

“I’m concentrating. “Please wait.”

“Yes, yes!”

Charon shook his head slightly to shake off distracting thoughts.

The mission given to me now. It’s time to focus on the secret test.

‘Shoot your life and see the reaction.’

What you are trying to see is your survival instinct and the level you have currently reached.

If you are at the level of a 3-star knight, you will be able to sort out the gemstones.

It was the moment when I fired my life.

Startle!

Charon trembled involuntarily.

Because I made eye contact with Zero.

‘That guy… … ‘Since when have you been looking this way?’

First reaction… … No, did you react before that?

As if he knew in advance that he was going to send a deadly weapon?

I continued to make eye contact with Zero.

He is looking at himself indifferently. No, I don’t even know if he has eyes in the first place.

He was clearly watching himself.

‘… … ‘What a funny guy.’

Hidden talent? A spy for an enemy country? devil?

No, maybe.

He might be worse than that.

The identity is completely unknown.

A scary guy came in.

* * *

‘It seems to have worked well.’

I slowly turned my head.

Because Charon was looking at me with scary eyes.

Test information is leaking.

That’s why we created a special selection process, the ‘Secret Test’.

The event is free, the time is free, and the successful candidate is also free.

step.

‘There are no unsuccessful candidates.’

What do you mean?

Only additional points are given to successful applicants.

However, these additional points exert absolute power in selecting excellent classes.

‘Only those who pass will receive a + score.’

Currently, I don’t know the perfect score for the first, second, or third, but it’s high.

Although the next 4th exam is a written exam, no matter how low you score, if you add additional points for the secret exam, there is a high chance of getting into the advanced class.

How did you react to living?

The instructor and Charon are located above the competition venue.

As soon as I returned, I settled down where I could see Charon from the side.

Then, I turned my eyes to the side as much as possible and looked at him.

It’s an eye that doesn’t even have a pupil in the first place.

They say it’s the best eye for monitoring your surroundings!

‘When Charon has something to do, he doesn’t wait. ‘Maybe we’ll start right away?’

I didn’t take my eyes off Charon for even a moment and hit the target right away.

Luna also looked towards Charon once, then tilted her head and said, ‘That’s strange?’, so it was clear.

“… … “Everyone, please move to the 4th testing site.”

The words that flowed from Charon’s mouth.

So we moved to the final testing site.

* * *

The fourth and final exam began like that.

written test.

There are various types of exams at Annwood Academy, but the final exam is always a written exam.

Perhaps because of that, all the children were very focused.

I also received the test paper.

A total of 10 subjects including swordsmanship, magic, and history.

It is a test paper dense with numbers, letters, characters, and shapes.

“Hehehe, this, this… … “It’s as expected.”

Damn it. I don’t know anything.

How would I know whether the name of Count Julietz’s counter-assault operation, which stopped the Shultz Kingdom’s assault in 89 Imperial Calendar, was ‘Strong and Strong Morning Charge’ or ‘Strong and Powerful Noon Charge’?

What is the name of the operation in the first place? [Translation] I’m almost suspicious that the skill was used incorrectly.

It’s an S-class skill given as a perk of possessing the game, so you can’t go wrong.

‘The good news is that it’s multiple choice.’

After checking the powerful and strong morning charge, I looked at the next problem.

One sheet, two sheets, three sheets.

Yes, there is none. I don’t know anything.

I solved only what gave me a rough idea and confidently pushed the rest away in one line.

It would be terrible if you made a mistake and got even 0 points.

however.

“huh?”

There was a subject that I found easy to understand.

Why are you like this?

Q1. What is the next magic circle?

1. 5th level demon summoning circle

2. Forbidden Contract with the Goat

3. Oath of extreme poison

4. Path to Glory

‘Is it written on the magic circle that it’s summoning a 5th level demon? What is this… … .’

I looked around, but other issues were the same.

It was easy, but it was too easy. Because all the questions had answers.

I went ahead and looked at the name of the test subject.

Top of the first page. In the center it was written:

“Demon Archeology”.

… … what.

Why am I reading this?

* * *

“The exam is over! Everyone, don’t move!”

The written exam is over.

All of the children who took the test fell asleep.

A labyrinth, a fantasy, a showdown, and finally a written exam.

It was the aftermath of a series of exams taken in the morning.

“Quickly to the teacher’s office!”

But the teachers’ job started now.

From exams to grade announcements, class announcements, and even entrance ceremonies.

This was because it was Annwood Academy’s long-standing tradition to complete all of this in one day.

241 children survived after the third test.

Because all of their test papers had to be graded, the teachers in charge of grading them had no choice but to be busy.

“All history comes here!”

“The magic science is this way!”

The number of subjects alone is a whopping 10.

Twenty teachers paired up and took on one subject each.

Suk- Suk-.

Square – square -.

Only the sound of grading echoed quietly in the teacher’s office.

But as time passed, speech slowly began to emerge.

Because it was just repetitive labor.

It was a multiple-choice test with only 20 questions to begin with.

This means that you only need to know the 20 correct numbers.

In the end, it wasn’t the head that was busy, but the hands and mouth, which led to chatting.

“Who will be the chief this time?”

“Isn’t this Teron, the Marquis of Bürn’s son?”

“There is also Eurydia of Count Rounther, right? “It’s rumored that he’s a genius.”

“well. Still, it’s not as good as last year’s Miss Rodelin, is it?”

“Oh, let’s leave out Miss Rodelin. “Because it’s out of the question.”

Everyone nodded their heads lightly in agreement.

Rodelin has taken on the position of vice-student president starting this year.

From the moment she entered school, she was special.

A pretty appearance that catches everyone’s attention.

Swordsmanship skills that even instructors admire.

When a member of a noble family harasses a commoner, he is cool enough to slap the nobleman in the face by saying, ‘You are the one who insulted the nobleman!’

Even though time was running out, he passed the final test while carrying the injured person around him.

There was no need to worry about the written exam. Because I got perfect scores in all subjects.

“The family is good, the skills are good, and the looks and personality are perfect. “The world is really unfair?”

“That’s why it’s even greater. “If I were Miss Rodelin, I would have used my family’s authority and appearance to do various things.”

“This and that? “I wonder what it is.”

“Hohoho… … ! Well, it’s literally this and that.”

Last year’s top honors went to Rodelin, and no one disagreed.

But not this year. There were many talented people who were considered talented.

Swordsmanship, magic, physical strength, cuteness(?), etc.

Because he distinguished himself in many fields, it was difficult to predict who would take the chief position.

“Oh, isn’t there that kid too?”

“Who?”

“A blind child. that… … It looks similar to a portrait of a warlock… … .”

“Ah, I think I know who it is. The name must be… … “Did you say zero?”

Where are the only warlocks?

Those who committed the worst crimes in the history of the continent all had similar appearances.

Therefore, zero was a quite hot issue even among teachers.

There were people here who saw Zero’s face in person.

The common opinion of those who encountered him was:
