Episode 35 First day's exam
Amane, who glared at the target log, took enough time to collect the D-Particles and released 'Javelin'. It was a QuintJavelin with five activations.
The accelerated QuintJavelin scraped off the right side of the log and pierced the ground to make a deep hole.
"Oh, I was off a little."
Amane said regretfully. The students who were watching tilted their heads. It's probably because Amane, a Bestowal Wizard, used something like Attack Magic.
Karina, who was standing a little ways from the log, was surprised. Because she knew that the magic Amane used was Life Magic, not Attack Magic.
"This kind of Life Magic isn't registered with the Magic Agency. I wonder if it's another magic from Grimm-sensei, and if so ... it would be better to consult with the reinstated headmaster."
However, the result this time is 'Level 4'. Had she hit the center, she might have been judged as 'Level 5'.
It was the same with Alisa. QuintJavelin ended up chipping the left side of the log and punching a hole in the ground. Seeing this, Chika changed the magic she used.
Holding her Katana, Chika slowly approached the log. Karina, who saw that, tilted her head.
"Mifune-san, you're not keeping your distance."
"I, will use this."
Chika drew her sword and slashed at the log. However, since there was a distance of about 4 meters, the sword couldn't reach. Even so, she could feel something cutting the log at the same angle as the sword. QuintBlade cut the log in two.
Karina, who was watching from the side, was the same. When Chika drew her sword and swung it, she felt like there was another sword at the tip of her sword, and it cut the log. Then, the log got cut.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Chika felt the students watching behind them holding their breath.
"Lies. What's that?"
"She's a Muscle Wizard, isn't she? Do they have that kind of magic?"
They start making noise.
This was unquestionably 'Level 5'. She thought it was 'Level 6', but Karina wrote 'Level 5' in her record book.
When Chika returned to Amane and the others, Amane and Alisa's faces were clouded and letting out a sigh.
"The two of you were unlucky. If you hit the middle, the log would have snapped."
"Ugh ... I didn't think about the possibility that the QuintJavelin wouldn't hit the middle."
Arisa was depressed.
"Well, you learned that there are things like this, so it's fine."
Yukari comforted her.
"It can't be helped. Let's ask Grimm-sensei about the hit rate as well."
Chika and Yukari, as well as Ninomiya and Komuro, were selected for the mock battle on the second day. Komuro was an Attack Wizard.
"I wonder why Ninomiya was chosen? Let's ask Karina-sensei."
Amane went to Karina and asked about Ninomiya.
"When choosing from the same 'Level 4', it is decided by the achievements in the dungeon. Ninomiya-kun is an adventurer rank of F-class and has dived into the intermediate dungeon."
"Heee, that Ninomiya-kun."
Surprisingly, Amane thought that Ninomiya was doing his best in the dungeon. However, even if he does his best, he throws it away because he is Ninomiya inside. She is sure he's exploring with the help of his teammates.
Karina called out to Chika.
"It's a mock battle tomorrow, but Mifune-san uses Life Magic, right?"
"That's right, but why."
"Can you hold back in the mock battle?"
"Well, I can do it, but I can't demonstrate my ability."
"It's the same for both Attack Wizards and Muscle Wizards. It's a mock battle to see how well you can fight within those restrictions."
After the exam, Amane and the others headed to the Adventurer's Guild.
◆◆◇◇◆◆◇◇◆◆
Around that time, I was researching intermediate dungeons in the Adventurer's Guild reference room. Suigetsu Dungeon is an intermediate level dungeon in Shibugami City.
"The first floor of the Suigetsu Dungeon is Demon Dog, Goblins, and Horned Pigs. The second floor is Orcs and Attack Boars. The third floor is Lizardmen and Jumbo Frogs, no problem."
I think I can dive all the way to the 3rd floor of the Suigetsu Dungeon by myself.
"Grimm-sensei, we've been looking for you."
When I turned around, Amane and the others were standing there.
"Do you need me for something?"
"I had a question for Grimm-sensei, and I was looking for you."
"Question ... Are you talking about Life Magic?"
Amane and the others asked how to hit fast-moving monsters and how to increase the hit rate of 'Javelin'. Even I don't know how to hit a fast-moving monster. But I knew how to increase the hit rate.
"Rifles and other guns have their own quirks. They always have their quirks, such as the bullet going to the right. Humans have quirks in the same way."
I realized this myself after shooting 'Javelin' many times.
"Okay. Thank you. How about hitting fast monsters?"
I think I'll need that too. However, it's not something that can be prepared immediately.
"Give me some time. I'll look into it."
"I'm counting on you. Oh, and the principal said that he would like you to come to the school tomorrow."
"Is the principal discharged from the hospital? Good."
Alisa gave me a sharp gaze.
"The principal seemed angry for some reason. Grimm-sensei was arbitrarily dismissed."
That makes me angry too. When the vice-principal forced me to quit, I didn't want to worry him, so I didn't ask him for advice.
After talking with Amane and the others for a while, they returned. I went back to my apartment feeling a little depressed.
The next day, when I went to the academy and met the principal, Kiryuin, I was severely scolded. I was scolded as to why I didn't consult with him, who was a surrogate parent.
