Serph said, turning Kunon around, who was completely ignored by the saint, but still undaunted.
âThatâs it for the practical test. The next step is to take the written exam, so do your best to get into the course you want.
Also, Kunon, you really should stop picking up girls. Reyes doesnât want you to -â
Because he doesnât like it, Kunon said to him, âSir!â
âThe saint wonât take me up on my offer at all! Iâve already promised her three parfaits! Caution, please!â
âIâve heard all kinds of complaintsâŠâŠ, but this is the first time Iâve heard someone complain about not being able to pick up girls. Hey, Seyfi?â
When the assistant spoke to him, she whispered, âWhat was that test you just took? Take it seriously. Tsk.â Shee cursed him with a tongue lashing.
âOhâŠâŠ sorry.â
In what universe would an examiner take the entrance exam for an apprentice seriously?
However, there is no way a man can win against a crying child and an angry woman, so I decided to move on without saying anything else.
âAnyway. No picking up girls until the exam is over. Youâre still in the middle of an exam, you know.
Donât do anything to disturb the peace of mind of others at such an important time. You can do that after the exam is over.â
âOh, I seeâŠâŠ I understand. Sorry.â
It seems that the conversation was understood.
Kunon apologized to the saint.
âA woman is thrilled to be seduced by an attractive gentleman. Iâm sorry I asked you out so many times.â
What a positive thought.
Itâs amazing that he can clearly call himself an âattractive gentlemanâ. Heâs a great kid.
âShouldnât he have failed the test? That boy is definitely the type to cause trouble.â
âHmmmâŠâŠâŠâ
Serph had no answer to Seyfiâs whisper.
Serph and Seyfi lead us to the school building to take the written exam.
âThis yearâs test takers are all excellent.â
Serph muttered as he looked at the answer sheets he had collected, and Seyfi beside him took them.
In this regard, none of the four candidates was particularly tricky, and they completed the exam with a lot of time left on the clock.
The only one to worry about was Kunon, though.
Those around him were worried about how Kunon, who wore an eye patch and was blind, would be able to take the written test, but he was able to solve it easily as if he could see.
What is the principle behind this?
The magic he had shown in his practice, the fact that he was Zeonlyâs disciple, and his personality were all mysteries to me.
The only thing left now was the interview.
âWeâre going to interview you in order. Weâll start with Hank Beat.â
âYes.â
The place where they took the written test seemed to be the waiting area.
Hank was called by Seyfi, and together they left the classroom.
âSir?â
Kunon spoke to Serph, the remaining examiner.
âWho is interviewing and what are you talking about?â
âYouâll find out when itâs your turn. What theyâre talking about depends on the person.â
âHeee⊠What if they ask me what type of woman I likeâŠ.. or how many women Iâve liked âŠâŠ?â
Who would ask such a question?
And why is it so difficult for you to answer that question?
Is there something you feel uncomfortable saying?
A child who just turned twelve the other day.
In a relationship with a woman.
It was quite a frightening statement to think about.
âLeeya Horse. This way.â
As I was answering Kunonâs questions about magic, Seyfi came to call Leeya, who was to be interviewed next.
âAh, yesâŠâŠ.â
Leeya, who had been listening to an interesting story about the same wind attribute as Serph, left the classroom with her hair pulled back.
âHuh? Is it possible that the interview will be dismissed immediately after it is over?â
Hank, who had gone ahead of her, did not come back.
âI donât know. It depends on the mood of the interviewer.â
Serph slurred his words and played it down.
If he found out now, Kunon would start hitting on the saint again.
â As you may have guessed, the interview will be dismissed after itâs over.
If he broke up with the saint here, Kunon wouldnât have a chance to pick her up for a while.
âIâve never seen any other kind of magic except water and earth. Thatâs why itâs so interesting. Well, I canât see it.â
âYou canât see, right? But you took the written test. Whatâs the principle behind it?â
âYou want to know?â
It was Serph who asked, âDo you want to know?â Kunonâs face turns to the saint as he asks.
ââŠâŠ.â
The saint ignored him.
You canât see, but somehow you can see it.
You can take a written test.
It must have something to do with sorcery.
As a sorcerer, Iâd be lying if I said I didnât want to know, but it seemed like a long time to leave it alone, and I ignored it, guessing that if I showed any sign of caring, he would surely start hitting on me again.
At some point, if I get the chance, Iâll talk to him.
The questions about witchcraft to Serph made me think that he was not really just trying to pick up girls.
But I suspect heâs also looking to pick up girls.
âReyes Centrance. This way, please.â
âYes.â
The saintâs turn came and she left.
âItâs just you and me now, isnât it?â
âYes, just you and me.â
âI wanted to be alone with a woman.â
âThatâs strange. Me too.â
â Hey, no.
In a way, this situation is what Serph has been waiting for.
âHey, Kunon. About that practical testâŠâ
âYes.â
âWhat other ways did you have in mind?â
ââŠâŠâ
âI turned it red so that it would be obvious that your magic had touched my body, right? Because I canât think of any other way.â
Yes, Kunon made the color of the water red.
âWhy?â
âBecause when it touched Serphâs body, it would remain as evidence.â
âYou were thinking of going further from that form of endurance battle. Isnât that right?â
Kunon replied flatly, âYes.â
âIâve always been a candidate for a frontal assault. I was wondering if we could do something with erosion, fusion, and takeover.â
ââŠâŠ Huh.â
Serph is also a teacher at the magic school.
He doesnât have to say much, just the key words will give him an idea.
âIâm going to let the mist penetrate my windshield, fuse it with the wind, and interfere with my magic from there.
So you wanted to take away my windshield afterwards?â
âSomething like that.â
âDid you think you could do it?â
âIn my head.
When you take away an opponentâs magic, itâs easier to do it from the inside than from the outside. You see, magic power is usually connected to the magician. Thatâs why itâs hard to cover and wrap it up.
Thatâs why you can put water inâŠâŠ. Or better, you just need to let it interfere with your opponentâs magic. Water can penetrate most things.â
ââŠâŠ I see.â
âSir.â
Kunon stood up and walked away.
âI believe that the water attribute is the best. I really want to advocate that it is the best and strongest, but I couldnât beat my master. So itâs still only the best.
Iâll study hard here, learn a lot, and Iâm sure Iâll surpass my master.â
I walked to the door and opened it to see Seyfi, who was just about to open it from the other side.
â Oh, you surprised me. Whatâs wrong?â
Seyfi wasnât just standing there, she was actually trying to open the door. Thatâs why she was surprised.
âI thought youâd be here soon. Itâs my turn now, isnât it? Letâs go.â
âOh, okâŠâŠ.â
âCan I ask you to escort me? I like to be escorted by attractive women.â
â I canât give special treatment to candidates, even though you are Zeonlyâs apprentice.â
âYes. In other words, Seyfi likes to be escorted, doesnât she?â
Serph watches Kunon walk away while they were talking about this. Itâs not like that, he thought.
Serph looked at the door that Kunon had closed.
He shook his head, reflecting on his earlier words.
ââŠThatâs the disciple of Zeonly⊠In many ways, a terrifying child has arrived.â
