âYes, sir. I decided that the time was right. I just didnât take the exam because I wasnât sure I could pass itâŠâ
Apparently, the examiner and the test candidate know each other.â
And it seems that he is the one who is most shocked to learn that there are no failures in the exam.
As you can imagine, there must have been a time when he was a novice.
I canât help but feel that there is more than an unspoken agreement when no one tells you about the exam.
âI know most of it, but since itâs a formality, Iâll ask. I need to know the attributes of your sigil, its rank, and the number of sorceries you can use. Oh, and your preferred class.â
âTwo stars for the fire emblem. I can use seven sorceries. I would like to be in the special class.â
Hank Beat.
Two stars on the fire emblem, seven magic points.
âYou know what, Seyfi?â
âIâm listening.â
The assistant Seyfi wrote on the form.
At the same time, Kunon also kept in mind the information about this person, who is wrapped in a red lizard. Everything is a sample for consideration.
âLetâs get down to the practical. Try to use the magic youâre best at.â
With Serphâs words, Hankâs magic power runs on the ground.
â â Fire run!â
As if to follow the magic power that entered first like a fuse, the fire runs through the ground at a great speed.
âOhâŠâŠ!â
Kunon was impressed.
This is the first time Iâve seen this kind of magic, although I know it from books. I havenât seen it.
âFire-runningâ
Itâs a less difficult magic that fire magicians learn early on.
Itâs the kind of thing where the fire burns along with the magic you put ahead of it.
It seems that the magic power in place of the oil that determines the route ahead is more important than the fire itself. Thatâs the secret of this magic, I guess.
With the speed at which it burns, it should be possible to start a fire of a much larger scale.
â Itâs a simple structure that can be applied in many ways. This will be useful, Kunon thought.
The fire ran in a spiral from the outside to the center in a circle and disappeared in the middle of the vortex. White smoke rose from it.
âYeah, not bad. Especially the control.â
Yes.
This is a magic that requires control, control of magic power.
And I can sense Hankâs sense of style when he chose to show us an elaborate magic trick rather than just a magic trick with strong firepower.
Kunon thought that he and Hank seemed to be on the same page.
âLeeya Horse.â
âYes, sir.â
When Hankâs practical test was over, the confetti-covered boy was called next. Heâs probably a year or two older than Kunon.
âPlease state your attribute, rank, the number of magic you can use, and your preferred class.â
âWell, my attribute is wind, and Iâm a two-star. The number of magic I can use is eight. I would like to be in the second class.â
âYou can use eight magic at your age? Thatâs great. Hey, Seyfi?â
âYesâ
Thatâs great, Kunon thought.
I can still use only two sorceries.
Iâm a little worried about the fact that I canât use as much magic as the other test takersâŠ
And this time, as the assistant fills out the form, I will also memorize the information about Leeya in my own head.
âIâm a wind sigil too, you know. I feel like I want to support him personally.â
The examiner said something that sounded like he was going to favor him, but since everybody was going to pass anyway, it didnât really matter.
âThen show me the magic youâre most confident in.â
âYes, the Wind King Fugaru!
Itâs a magic trick that causes magic power to stagnate in the sky above, gathering air and releasing it as wind. Itâs a higher version of the âWind Fa Gaâ.
The huge air bombs shot down from above greatly damaged the ground.
It was incredibly powerful. If a person was hit, he would surely be blown away.
âThis is quite impressive. You can even use intermediate magic at your age?â
Itâs simply a lot of magic power to use.
Kunon, who was still only able to use the first two steps, was surprised by the amount of magic power used.
Intermediate magic, as it is called, seems to be quite different from beginner magic.
Itâs interesting, Kunon thought.
âReyes Centrance.â
âYes.â
Next up was the saint.
The previous statement that âlight is higher than other attributesâ has caused a bit of animosity from the candidates other than Kunon, but still, she is the most interesting person in the room.
The light attribute is very rare.
Aside from the examiners, all of the test takers had never even seen light magic before, let alone used it.
âWhat is your attribute, rank, how many spells can you use, and in what class do you want?â
âThe attribute is light, three stars, and there are five magic techniques that can be used. I would like to be in the special class.â
Three stars on top of the light attribute.
Kunon became more and more interested.
âIâm a saint, in case you were wondering.â
âApparently. But inherent magic is not a subject of practical training, so it doesnât really matter if youâre a saint now.â
âI see. Can I ask you one more thing?â
âYes? Sure.â
âIâm not really aware of it, but Iâve been told that due to the Heroâs Scars, Iâm missing a lot of emotion.â
My words and actions may make you feel uncomfortable, but it is not my intention.â
A heroâs scar.
Like Kunon, he was born under the curse of the Demon King. I had never met him before.
Iâm suddenly very interested.
âI see. That sounds like a lot of work. So far, Iâm not uncomfortable. What about you, Seyfi?â
âNo problem.â
There was one such incident, but that was it, the test proceeded without any problems.
âThe Holy Lightâ.
â I said that my strongest point was healing, but I couldnât perform it without someone being injured, so Reyes showed the only magic she had that wasnât healing.
It was a light-attribute rudimentary magic that fired a high-speed beam of light and heat from a raised hand.
Iâm not sure how powerful it is, since it didnât hit anything, but itâs notable for its speed.
It was terribly fast.
If you donât react before itâs released, itâs a ray of light that you canât avoid.
Kunon was already so interested in it, anyway, it was impossible not to be interested.
âKunon Gurion.â
âYes.â
Finally, it was Kunonâs turn.
âWell⊠Iâve been asked to give you special treatment if thatâs okay.â
ââŠâŠYes?â
âOh, you hadnât heard anythingâŠâŠ. W feel sorry for you, donât we, Seyfi?â
âBut it canât be helped anyway.â
Itâs hard to see whatâs going on, but for a moment now, I think I felt a little bit of malice from the assistant.
âTo cut a long story short, your mentor asked me to make your exam more difficult.â
Master.
Speaking of Kunonâs mentor.
âMiss Genie?â
âAh, no, not that one. Zeonly.â
When the name of Zeonly, who had recently made a name for himself as a magician, was mentioned, the three examinees reacted.
For someone who is still an apprentice sorcerer, anyone who is a successful sorcerer would be someone to admire.
âZeonly said that his apprentice can take any test, so he wants me to be extra strict. Iâll show you what my disciples are capable of, you fools, he said.â
âHuhâ
I think I know a little more about the reason for the assistantâs malice.
She must have some kind of connection with Zeonly, not Kunon.
âI see. If Master says so, then it canât be helped.â
I donât want to go along with Zeonlyâs boasting about being a disciple.
But if Master wants me to do it, I have no choice but to do it.
Masterâs orders are absolute. Thatâs what being a disciple is all about.
âDo you want to do it? Ah, yes. You are indeed the disciple of Zeonly⊠Your confidence is different. Hey, Seyfi?â
âLetâs drop her and send her back to her man.â
Malice toward the master will spread to the disciples.
Kunon was at the mercy of his master.
âYou canât say what you think, can you?â
Shrugging his shoulders with a sigh of relief, Serph asked the usual question.
Attributes of the sigil, rank, number of available magics, and desired class.
Kunon replied proudly.
âIâm a two-star water attribute. Two usable magics. Special class, please.â
âWhat?â
âWhat???â
âWhat?????â
Everyone in the room, with the exception of the saint, mumbled or thought, âWhat?â
âTwo magic that can be usedâŠ..?â
Kunon replied proudly to Serphâs fearful question.
âYes. There are two. The first is the âwater ball a oriâ and the second is the âwash foamâ.â
The âwater ball a oriâ creates water, and the âwash foamâ removes dirt with water bubbles.
The above is the magic that Kunon can use.
ââŠâŠAre you going to do a practical test with those two?â
Kunon replied proudly.
âYes!â
âŠâŠâŠâŠ
It was a great atmosphere.
It was unbearable.
He was disappointed with the response that went against his expectations of being Zeonlyâs disciple.
He canât find the right words to say to Kunon, who is standing there with so much confidence in this situation.
He wanted to knock down Zeonly for confidently promoting such a disciple.
All sorts of thoughts and feelings intermingled without words, and the atmosphere became rather amazing.
