Episode 226 Recommendation entrance examination
After the interview, the practical test began. Analysis Magic and Life Magic were performed indoors. Alisa used 'Decipher', which she learned after reaching magic level 6, to translate Magic Letters.
Analysis Magic was magic that analyzed unknown characters and items, analyzed magic circles, and found out what kind of magic they were. Among them, 'Decipher' was often used to translate Magic Letters.
When Alisa translated the Magic Letters and answered, the examiner nodded in satisfaction. She was then made to translate sentences in a language she didn't know at all. This made her translate the rare languages of the world, in case she was studying Magic Letters.
It seemed that this magic could translate not only Magic Letters, but all languages used on Earth.
After that, she proved that she could activate several Analysis Magics and was accepted. Given that her exam was over, Yukari seemed to have passed using 'Bone Check' that diagnosed the site of a fracture.
After that, it seemed that the acceptance or rejection would be decided depending on the result of the essay. When the two were talking about whether they should go home, they were asked if they would like to observe the practical test of Muscle Magic and Attack Magic.
Yukari was interested, so she replied that she would take a look. And so Alisa decided to go with her. It seemed that the exam would be held at the university training grounds.
It seemed that Attack Magic and Muscle Magic required at least one magic that must be learned at magic level 10 or higher to pass. After hearing that, Alisa confirmed it with the examiner, Nanbara.
"For Attack Magic and Muscle Magic, why do you require using magic of such a high magic level?"
Examiner Nanbara laughed.
"It's the opposite. Analysis Magic and Life Magic are low."
"Why is that?"
"It's difficult for Analysis Wizards and Life Wizards to raise their magic levels. People with other magic talents like you are valuable to us."
FOr a while, they watched an Attack Wizard activating 'Heavy Shot' and 'Prominence Nova'.

"They're activating it cautiously."
Yukari, who felt that there was a gap between when they declared they would activate the magic and when they actually activated it, gave her impressions.
Alisa smiled.
"It's an important exam, so it's not unreasonable to be cautious."
Examiner Nanbara felt a sense of discomfort with those words and turned their gaze to the two.
"Are you saying that those students are slow to cast their magic?"
Alisa and Yukari shook their heads in a hurry.
"I'm not saying they're slow. I'm saying they're being cautious."
Examiner Nanbara smiled as if it was interesting.
"That's right, you said the two of you were good at Life Magic. Would you like to show me your Life Magic once?"
They could also refuse the examiner's request, but the two of them agreed. After finishing the practical test of Muscle Magic and Attack Magic, the examinees tried to leave.
One of them noticed that two examinees had stepped forward to their target.
"Hey, it looks like it's not over yet."
The students turned back and started observing.
As the two approached the target ten meters away, more people tilted their heads.
"That's a half-baked distance."
They heard such a voice.
After Alisa raised her hand, she declared the magic to be activated.
"Starting with a triple shot of QuintJavelin, we will shoot the finishing SeventhHighBlade at the same time."
"Hah!"
Alisa and Yukari activated QuintJavelin at the same time. Moreover, it was three shots in a row. The D-Particle Javelins hit the target concrete at almost the same time. After three hits each, the two raised one hand and swung it down in the direction of the concrete.
That action triggered the SeventhHighBlade. The D-Particle Blade, which exceeded the speed of sound, hit and cut through the concrete. Immediately after that, a shockwave hit the concrete, creating a blast.
The concrete blocks targeted by the students were crumbling but kept their shape. However, they were shattered by Alisa-tachi's attacks.
The examiner, who was watching it, had their face stiffen. Its power was slightly higher than the magic of the other examinees, but its invocation speed was overwhelming.
"Their Life Magic is extraordinary. It might be a great harvest."
Among the students, there were some whose faces turned pale.
"Those two, aren't they going to be scholarship students?"
"That's right. It's a bit intimidating."
After the exam was over and Alisa-tachi left, the examiner, Nanbara, went to report to the president, Tokudaiji Kiriko. ,
"President, the examination for the recommendation frame is over."
"Thank you for your hard work, did you find any promising candidates?"
"It's almost the same as every year, but I found two interesting people."
"Who are they?"
"They are Yuuki Alisa, who specializes in Analysis Magic, and Kimishima Yukari, who specializes in Lifeblood Magic."
"Nn? I also checked the letters of recommendation, but I don't think they are people worthy of attention."
Nanbara nodded.
"President must have checked the magic levels of Analysis Magic and Lifeblood Magic. It's true that the magic levels of these two aren't high, but they seem to be good at Life Magic."
Nanbara told her that Alisa and Yukari had shown their Life Magic.
"I know it's been popular lately. Was it really that amazing?"
"Its activation speed is amazing. In the time that ordinary students would activate magic once, I believe they could use magic twice."
This meant that the magic activation time was halved. In actual combat, halving the activation time would be quite advantageous.
"That's interesting. What kind of classes did the Jibik Magic Academy teach?"
"No, it seems that the person who teaches them Life Magic is a former teacher who is now a B-class adventurer."
"Aahh, it's the person named Grimm-sensei who was listed in the Weekly Adventurer."
The fact that a Life Wizard became a B-class adventurer was unusual, so even President Tokudaiji remembered it.
"If this university had a Life Magic department, I would have made them a scholarship student."
Upon hearing that, President Tokudaiji nodded.
"About that Life Magic department, it may be created in the future."
