I’m the Slit-Eyed Character at the Academy, but I’m not the Mastermind - Chapter 8

Episode 8

Episode 8. Entrance Exam (5)

[The ‘Super Regeneration’ skill is acquired through the power of predation. The grade is lowered to F.]

not really… … I thought so, but soon changed my mind.

Unlike games that could be restarted at any time, making it almost like gambling, this is a world where you only have one life.

This means that survivability is important.

[Super Regeneration] is a skill that is classified as the highest level in survival.

“Hehehe, it’s actually better… … “That sounds like a perfect situation.”

This is not the only harvest.

‘Squinted eyes…’ … No, I know how to use this character.’

Normally an ordinary child.

It’s somewhat absurd, but it’s also secretly helpful.

Whenever something happens, he appears from somewhere to help, and even in a crisis, he shows his unique composure.

In truly dangerous situations, they show off their true skills and defeat the enemy.

Isn’t that a characteristic of squinting itself?

The [Open Eyes] skill was for just that.

Various situations and stories in which this skill could be used came to mind.

Just imagining it made me happy. A play like this is possible!

“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk…” … That’s funny. “It’s really fun.”

“hey.”

hmm?

Now that I think about it, Luna was there.

[Open eyes] Is it because I unlocked the skill, or am I just getting used to it?

Luna’s attitude became similar to the first time.

Of course, I felt a little wary.

“How do you know my secret?”

Hmm, how should I answer?

I have to pretend that there is something going on while getting through this situation.

Suddenly, I remembered a line that was often used by narrow-eyed characters in animations.

“Hehe, that’s… … “It’s a secret.”

“… … secret?”

“Yes, it’s a secret how I knew your secret. It’s fun. “Isn’t that right?”

“This is really… … ! under… … !”

Luna raised her fist and trembled.

She knows that I am strong, so I won’t be able to swing my fist carelessly.

I patiently find out information little by little.

That would be the best Luna could do.

‘Well, are you planning on doing some rolling to conquer the final boss? … ‘I need to help you get revenge.’

Of course, very slowly. First of all, let’s start with improving relationships.

He said slyly.

“Phew, anyway, thanks to you I survived. This is also fate, but it’s a common name… … .”

“All you have to do is make a statement! “You know my name and my family’s secrets!”

“Aha, I did. “I say zero.”

“Aha, you did, right? This is real! Ah-oh!”

Luna clenched her hands into fists and trembled.

It’s really cute how desperately he suppresses his anger.

“Whoa… … okay. “Anyway, how are you going to deal with killing the instructor?”

“yes? It’s killing me. Who would do such a cruel thing… … .”

Tingling-.

A look in your eyes that asks who else would have done that other than you.

But this was really unfair. Because I have never killed an instructor.

“Hehe, I never said I killed him. “I just said it looked like someone had taken care of it.”

“… … “What did you laugh about?”

“Are you laughing because you’re really curious? Who would have thought that academy prospective students would be neglected like this? I’m really disappointed. “Isn’t that right?”

Luna’s face twisted this and that. The flesh on my cheek twitched.

He even cursed with his eyes. I feel like I can hear it, but maybe I’m mistaken?

“Whoa… … First, let’s find an exit. “It’s not too late to ask questions after you enter the academy.”

“Good judgment.”

Luna glared at me. She praised me, but why did she do that?

Throbbing-.

It was time to take a step forward. He felt a sharp pain in his right foot.

“Uhm… … .”

“what? “Are you sprained?”

“Hehe, I guess so.”

-10 minutes before the end of the first test!

Luna’s expression hardened.

I don’t know where the exit is, but time is running out. I’m full of secrets, and I sprained my ankle.

I can’t help but feel frustrated. but.

“I know the road very well. “I also know the secret passage leading to the exit.”

“Say that quickly! where are you? “Where are you?”

He gestured towards Luna.

A gesture to sit down slightly.

Luna’s expression turned blank for a moment after seeing the gesture.

What have you been staring at?

Pick it up quickly, Luna.

* * *

The second examination center for the entrance exam.

Hundreds of children gathered together like a cloud.

Seeing them successfully passing the first test, Elester, the second test proctor, smiled.

‘Hehe, he’s always so cute.’

Children squeaking like chicks.

Their appearance and attitude while waiting for the test are all different.

‘These children will grow up and take responsibility for the future of the empire… … It’s amazing every time I see it.’

Annwood Academy’s graduates are spread throughout the empire.

It is truly amazing to see children who used to cry because they failed an exam grow up and work hard.

A being more amazing than magic.

That was the justice for children given by Archmage Elester.

‘These chicks will grow up quickly.’

Of course, you have to pass the second exam that you gave yourself.

“Elester, it’s time.”

“hmm… … It’s unfortunate, but you have to follow the rules. Please close the door.”

Kwaikkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk-.

As the door closed, the children’s faces became tense.

He must have realized that the second test would begin soon.

“Hehe, such cute kids… … .”

Pow!

Cradangtang-!

“Wow!”

“W-what!”

“Is it terrorism!?”

It’s not terrorism.

The bush next to the door exploded with a loud noise.

And at the same time as the bushes burst, something protruding fell forward.

‘person… … ?’

A chick with pink twin tails lying down with its forehead on the ground… … No, girl.

And then I saw a boy sitting on top of it and laughing.

One characteristic is that the eyes are so small that the pupil is not visible.

“Hehehe, you’ve arrived. “It’s as expected.”

… … Some strange chick appeared.

* * *

Just before the first entrance exam ends.

“Hehe, it’s on the left.”

Dadadada-.

“It’s on the right this time.”

Dadadada-.

The scenery of the labyrinth flew by.

It wasn’t difficult. Because Luna was running with me on her back.

‘The power of a trained body is great.’

This was the part where you could feel Luna’s efforts and the magnitude of her desire for revenge.

“Hehe, you’re all here. Now turn right and you will find the entrance to the second testing center.”

“haha… … right… … wait for a sec! What, the door is closed!?”

It was just as Luna said. The door was almost close.

The difficulty is that the gap is so narrow that we cannot enter.

Rattling-.

“Oh, no!”

Luna increased her speed, but was unable to stop the door from closing.

But it’s okay. Because there is a way.

“Don’t give up. The moment you give up, the game… … No, because the exam is over.”

“But the door is closed, so how…” … !”

“Isn’t there a bush next to it? All you have to do is penetrate it into your body.”

“… … !”

Yes. This is a labyrinth made of bushes and trees.

Both sides of the door of the second testing room were made of grass.

The problem is that it is a bush that the gardener carefully trimmed?

It had a very old-fashioned feel.

“Well, is that still okay?”

Luna asked, turning her head slightly.

Her eyes were saying this.

Please hurry up and say, ‘Hehe, it’s okay though.’

What I have to say to Luna is… … .

“Hehe, maybe.”

“You crazy bastard!”

But Luna also has to enroll anyway.

In the end, he did as I said and started charging.

Go, Luna! Body slam!

There was no reply, ‘Luna, Luna!’, but Luna faithfully carried out my command.

Pow!

Cradangtang-!

“Wow!”

“W-what!”

“Is it terrorism!?”

As a result, we ended up in the same situation as we are now.

Luna, whose stamina was exhausted, fell to the ground, but what happened?

I was guided safely(?) to the second testing site.

“Why don’t you come down? “You son of a bitch!”

“It was hard. Lunamon… … “No, Miss Luna.”

I brushed the blades of grass off my hair and clothes.

I think the gardener who comes to work tomorrow will cry… … It’s not me who made it like that, it’s Luna.

Luna will receive the penalty points.

“haha… … What a bitch. “What kind of secret passage is this?”

“It’s not a secret passage until you build a secret passage. From now on, you can call this a secret passage.”

“… … “What kind of secret passage is this thing you can see!!!!!”

Why is a secret passage called a secret passage? That’s it… … .

Because it’s a secret passage.

Nod.

Luna shook her head.

It’s almost pathetic how desperately he holds back his anger.

“what… … “Is it okay to do that?”

“Honestly, I’m eliminated. “The door is closed.”

“that’s right. Time has already passed. “It should be treated as elimination.”

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

Luna’s eyes changed.

The word ‘elimination’ originated from the mouth of a child.

Because the word spread like wildfire.

‘It has begun.’

Politics to eliminate competitors.

Politics is not the exclusive domain of politicians or adults.

Even children can do it. Moreover, aren’t they children who have entered puberty?

This is the age group where people enjoy belittling those they don’t like and creating gangs.

As it was a once-in-a-lifetime entrance exam, it was natural for politics to begin to eliminate competitors.

Clap clap-.

A clear applause suddenly echoed throughout the exam room.

But this is by no means ordinary applause.

The noise made by hundreds of children.

Because it broke through the noise and resonated in everyone’s ears.

‘… … Is this magic? ‘That’s amazing.’

The son-in-law became quiet, so it was clear that everyone heard it.

Everyone’s eyes turned to an old man on the podium.

“Hehe, nice to meet you all. “My name is Elester, and I am in charge of supervising the second test.”

“Elester?”

“Watch what you say! You are the Grand Wizard! “A former chief mage of the imperial palace!”

“I heard you stepped down last year… … “I never thought we’d meet here.”

“and… … .”

Archmage Elester.

Achieving the 9th Circle, the highest level the human body can reach.

Answood One of the eight pillars of the empire that raised the empire to the highest position on the continent.

‘… … That was the setting of “Hero of the Academy.”

However, contrary to known facts, he has not retired from the front line.

‘The superficial reason is training of younger students. And the real reason is an investigation into an unpleasant incident that occurred within the academy.’

It is one of the characters that acts as a fairly important ‘key’ in the game.

Of course, it was impossible to play.

“hmm… … .”

His gaze turned towards me and Luna.

I quickly hid behind Luna.

Because I am the poor person who was forced(?) through the bush with Luna on her back.

If it falls, only Luna falls.

“The two cadets who just came in have passed the first exam. “I have overcome the labyrinth in a novel way, so I will admit it.”

At that moment, the passing necklace is given to us.

It was the perfect situation to show off.

“Hehe, it’s as expected.”

“… … “Aren’t you trying to pass me by abandoning me?”

“What are you saying? “It’s a misunderstanding.”

“… … “I guess so.”

Luna’s eyes became bitter and cold.

At the same time, one of the children raised his hand hesitantly.

“I… … “Mr. Elester?”

“Please tell me.”

“Isn’t that not novel, just ignorant? Anyone can do it… … .”

It has begun.

Politics to eliminate competitors.
