chapter 17
17 – Admission Test (3)
I thought about it.
Hey guys, why are you fighting?
And second thought.
Anyway, we have to go to the test site.
If you try to fight, you will be stopped.
You can’t come all the way here and do one-on-one without taking a test.
“I said I would protect Argal, but who are you to say this or that?”
“I don’t know anything. The person you want to protect… .”
“stop.”
The moment I tried to mediate, Raeli and that girl looked at me at the same time.
I feel that Raeli will respect me, and that girl, above all, turned to me with bright eyes.
The two of you made up your mind and even created an atmosphere to fight, and then just folded it after I said a word?
I was a bit taken aback by the temperature difference between the hot and cold baths, but I did what I had to do.
“What is your name?”
“It’s Fran Lourankis.”
“Yes Fran, apologize to Raeli.”
Is that girl’s name Fran?
Anyway, it was Fran who started the conflict. I asked for an apology, and Fran did it in the cleanest way possible.
“sorry. Raeli, I excused myself.”
“…what the hell are we going to do?”
After apologizing so neatly, Raeli noticed that she had cooled off too.
Strictly speaking, Fran didn’t say anything too harsh.
On the surface, he was overly angry.
And he seemed to know to some extent why Fran was doing that.
Because I was mistaken for a wizard who knew the extreme.
“No more, no less,” he said briefly to Fran.
“Not now, but later. Let’s talk.”
“I know.”
Fran seems delighted that he somehow got a chance to talk.
That’s because, to a magician, extreme justice is a value that cannot be exchanged for even a thousand pieces of gold.
The argument was distracted for a while, but thanks to Marlin, there was no major accident.
“Whoa, well, there are all those years.”
It seems that Raeli hasn’t cooled down yet.
So I took her hand, and she was surprised but held it tight.
…I’ll crush my hand.
Did you catch me for nothing?
Following the examiner’s guidance, I entered the academy.
“It is a device to measure your skills.”
A device resembling a large stage was standing there.
A place where you can measure your strength or mana that you can generate at once.
Following the examiner’s instructions, one by one, as they climbed onto the podium, the basic measurements began.
“Strength C, Stamina B, Agility C, Magic D.”
Starting with F, there was a level called S-class, and that device seemed to figure out the state of the target and derive a result.
Most of them went between D and B.
Since there are many students, the process is rather tedious and lengthy.
In the meantime, an exclamation is heard.
“Wow.”
“Is this your first S-class?”
Standing on the podium was a face I knew well.
Sword Saint.
Blue hair like a cascading waterfall, two green eyes.
A guy who lives the world with his good taste.
If you think about it, the people whose last names were attached to their titles had poor personalities.
A spearhead or a swordsman.
Both are similar.
Geomseong was more popular than Changseong because he was polite on the outside, but it could be said that he was more dirty on the inside.
“Strength A, Stamina A, Agility S, Magic B.”
“Hmm.”
Look at him nodding his head as if that result was natural.
Most people would be jealous or envious of a handsome guy, but the swordsman felt awe because everything, starting with his face, was superior.
Besides, the most terrifying thing about the swordsman was his swordsmanship.
There was no need to focus on just having good stats to become a sword master.
Those with good stats followed were typically Chang-seong and Fran.
Changsung received A rank in all stats and S rank in magic power.
Next, Raeli stepped out.
“I’m going?”
“yes.”
Raeli seemed a bit nervous, but took a deep breath on the podium and checked the stats on the screen.
Then the examiner reads.
“Strength B, Stamina B, Agility A, Magic C.”
Good enough stats.
However, Raeli had an expression of regret.
Did you expect at least one S-class to come out?
That seems a little too greedy.
This is a grade that only monsters who will enter the warrior party in the future and play an active role receive it.
Raeli came down from the podium and said.
“Ugh, that’s a bit unfortunate.”
“Is it high enough?”
“That’s right… .”
After a moment of regret, Raeli looked at me to see if there was anything that came to her mind.
“But Argal, are you not worried?”
“what?”
“If you measure stats, there’s no way it will come out good.”
Certainly, while I could use various means of force, I rarely actually showed it outwardly.
Stored in the Magiya dagger, the newly acquired artifact, the origin of the star, of course could not be included in the body measurements.
Predictably, wouldn’t all stats be F?
“Things like that happen, too.”
“I’m glad you are, but I’m worried… .”
“Next test taker!”
Raeli tried to say something, but was interrupted by the examiner’s voice calling out to me.
Get up and stand on the podium.
Of course, the measurement results appeared within a short time, and the examiner looked at me several times to see if I doubted my eyes.
“Strength F, Stamina F, Agility F, mana F.”
male voice – male voice –
The examiner had a mechanical error, but the stat was low enough to adjust the device.
The students also started talking about me.
“My stat is F? Why the hell did you apply for the practical application? You want to die here?”
“It’s the lowest stat, but this is enough.”
“Isn’t that a nuisance during the test?”
such a fragile body.
It could be the weakness of an incompetent body that neither mana nor magic exists.
It looks so ridiculous.
I walked down the podium, receiving stares full of disgust, sympathy, and ridicule.
Raeli told me with a worried face.
“Argal, that… . it’s okay?”
“Is there anything wrong with it?”
That look didn’t make any sense.
Anyway, my real skills are not going anywhere.
hatred stronger than that.
Because I have experienced hatred, enmity, and condemnation.
It was nothing compared to what he had received when he was an officer in the Demon King’s army and Argal, the Undead.
And this gaze was short-lived.
a brighter light.
‘Cause it’s covered in darkness
“Strength S, Stamina S, Agility S, Magic S.”
bright blonde.
Two dull blue eyes.
I don’t know what she was thinking, but she stood still on the podium and got the highest score.
The students cheered.
“As expected, a hero!”
“He is our savior.”
“You have to be at that level to defeat the Demon King!”
She came down from the podium without any emotional change, as if it were natural.
Like a short-lived storm. People’s stories immediately focused on the hero.
I stayed still, and Raeli looked at me with an expression that didn’t know what to do.
“what’s the matter?”
“You can stay still… . No, this is too much.”
It seems to her that the situation is a bit harsh.
I was ridiculed as a grade F, but then a hero appeared and I received a grade S.
Isn’t that a very contrasting look?
The look of worrying that I might have been hurt emotionally.
He said, putting his hand on top of her head.
“No need to worry.”
There’s no reason to get hurt here, and there’s no need to worry.
Raeli opened and closed her mouth several times, then finally closed it.
When you put your hand on your head like this, you compare yourself to others.
If Bessia has slightly fluffy curly hair, Raeli has stiff straight hair?
“I will move on to the next one.”
The test didn’t end there.
It’s not just about checking stats, it’s about verifying what it will be like in real life.
The examiner explained to us as they moved from place to place.
“This time, you will be fighting the monsters one-on-one.”
Inside the transparent membrane was a large magic circle.
Instinctively, I could tell that it was a magic circle that summoned monsters.
It was similar to a teleport magic circle somewhere.
“monster? I caught a lot.”
“I was first place in every hunting competition.”
The examiner warned the nobles who acted confidently saying that they had caught a few monsters.
“Please note that the monsters summoned here are not at the level of goblins and orcs. The purpose of this test is survival, not killing monsters.”
Hearing such bloody words made even the most confident people inevitably intimidated to some extent.
As we noticed each other to leave first, the examinee who was at the front of the order moved forward.
The person who happened to be in front of me.
“I will take the test.”
“Yes, please go in.”
When I stepped inside the transparent membrane, a large magic circle began to glow and summon monsters.
A huge monster.
Huge muscles, large horns on the head.
It was a demon no matter who saw it.
“uh… ?”
Even the first test taker left an embarrassing first word, probably not knowing that a monster like that would come out.
-Gooo!!
The chapter is full of doubts and astonishment.
Even if Amman Academy’s practical training was harsh, I heard that it wasn’t to this extent.
Looking at the gaze demanding an explanation, the examiner says:
“It is the time when monsters and demons are pouring endlessly in the north. The Sword Master is blocking it, but there is a limit alone. So, you are also destined to be committed to the north and fight the enemies.”
You have to fight against monsters and demons and win.
Therefore, our opponents have no choice but to be demons.
“Before the all-out war approaches, you will learn all the ways to fight and win against the demons throughout your academy life.”
therefore… .
He said he would turn you guys into thoroughly trained soldiers because a crisis would come to the kingdom in the future.
Most of the test takers looked like they were hearing it for the first time, and the high-ranking nobles nodded their heads as if they already knew.
It seems that he did not inform the situation in the north for the stability of the kingdom.
-Gooo!
That’s why the demons that appeared over there didn’t sit still.
The students who had already entered focused on survival rather than fighting the demons with agile movements.
Then, when I couldn’t stand it, I threw myself out of the shield.
“1 minute and 4 seconds, no damage done to the demons, no damage done to the demons.”
It was never a good review.
How long did you endure, did you attack the demons while enduring, and what kind of damage did you suffer from the demons?
The result of combining these three items.
“Overall grade F.”
“This makes no sense! one more time… .”
“It’s the first time I’ve tried it, so I’ll give it a chance.”
Still, it doesn’t seem to be harsh.
As if the examinee was embarrassed earlier, he was able to get a slightly better grade.
I proudly raise my shoulders and step out of the protective barrier.
Although he was slightly injured, he was full of pride for standing up against the demons.
“Overall grade C.”
It was natural that it would be difficult to defeat the Demons, who could not be said to be at the level of ordinary students.
In order to survive in an environment without such landmarks, you had to at least cross swords, and that meant you had to be prepared for death.
Perhaps this test is to find out how much you can risk your life in front of demons.
No matter how good your basic stats are and how strong your strength is, if you are a coward, you will never be able to defeat the demons.
The atmosphere inside was dark.
Even so, not many people show courage in front of demons.
Not weak, but incredibly strong.
I was going to come out because I was next in the order anyway.
There is a person who came next after passing me.
“How many points do you get if you kill that demon?”
The Sword Master stood up.
The man who received the best stats after the hero.
Such a person says he will catch and kill the demons.
“It is an overall grade S without considering the details.”
“is it? then.”
seureung-
The swordsman pulled out his sword and slowly moved within the magic circle.
“I’ll catch you in one minute.”
Then it stood tall.
He smiles strangely and turns to me.
“No, but it would be better to yield the order.”
Originally, it is standard to take the test in the order in which you sit.
So originally, I was going to do it first.
The swordsman’s intentions were obvious.

Just as the hero appeared after me, who received all grades of F, so he was more prepared, so the swordsman wanted to enjoy that effect.
“What do you do first?”
…Anyway, the guys with a star in their name are all like dogs.
However, Sword Saint, your thoughts are quite wrong.
I’m tearing that demon to death.
10 seconds was enough.
