05. hahahahaha There’s no way an active-duty driver can be a student, isn’t it embarrassing?
In the VIP room on the upper floor of the exam hall, which looks like an amphitheater, faculty and staff are gathering to score students.
It’s a grading position, but it wasn’t as bloody as last year’s entrance exam.
This is because at the point of receiving the letter of recommendation and arriving at the academy, there was no result of disqualification.
They were just looking at them as if they had just come to see a fun party with students against golems.
I thought it would be good to call it a standing party, seeing that maids were even serving drinks.
“Heh heh destroying the golem, there are many excellent students this year too.”
Seeing Lucia Russell destroy the practice golem with a single blow, the old man in the center of the faculty laughed, stroking his long beard.
The old man was wearing a cloak that was unpleasantly colored, but no one frowned at the stinking cloak.
“Isn’t this the principal’s discernment?”
“Yeah, even the students who came with letters of recommendation are brutal. You were the successor of Russell who just destroyed the golem, right?
The Count always complained and complained, and he was raising him diligently.”
“Because letters of recommendation are delivered only to those who have been verified against the principal’s standards.
Those who don’t even get it are called preferential treatment, but
Most of the children of prestigious families will pass the test without difficulty.”
On the contrary, the professors, who were said to be the best in the empire, were all busy smiling and saying nice things to the old man.
Because that old man is Morgan, the principal of the academy.
There was one person who was sweating among the faculty members who were shouting hahahaha in such a relaxed mood.
“Ahhh… It’s all right…”
A tall man wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, brushing back his proud blonde hair, is clearly handsome, but perhaps because of his posture, he gives off an air of unreliability.
A blonde man, Andy Robinson, was a new instructor who retired from the Imperial Knights and got a job at the academy.
This semester was his first semester.
“Instructor?”
“Yes.. Yes!”
“hahahaha, this is not the Knights. It’s your first time this year, so you must be very nervous, but relax. Now here.”
A professor with deep wrinkles on his face came up to Andy, who was sweating, and handed him a drink from a tin cup.
“You said you belonged to the Imperial Knights, right? It sounds like you are nervous about your new environment. Hey i’m glad
All the members of the Imperial Knights said they were Sangvis, so I was nervous too!”
“hahahaha… Thank you. “
Contrary to Andy’s nervousness, everyone was treating him well because he was the first knight to come to the academy as an instructor from the Imperial Knights, the greatest military force in the empire.
The fact that a knight from the Imperial Knights who didn’t retire until he died or became immobilized as an instructor meant that there was one more rhetoric to decorate the academy, and to professors and principals, Andy looked like a shiny signboard.
“Ah.. Ah!! It’s a big deal, principal!!”
“What is it?”
A woman with soot on her face and a dirty but sturdy gray robe entered the VIP room.
It was Professor Lena of the Department of Magical Engineering who was controlling the golems in this test.
“There was one of the golems I was adjusting, but it looks like I took it with me when I took the golem for practice!!”
“Ahhh… You’re a good guard, how did you adjust it so there’s such a fuss?”
The headmaster scolded him with a grim expression, but at the point when she, one of the top officers in charge of this exam, ran out of gas, she had a hunch that something had happened.
“It’s a golem that I used as the subject of my thesis after entering actual combat data… If it breaks, that three-year thesis will be lost!!!”
“Let’s look for it quickly, putting aside the professor’s thesis, it will be a big problem if the students get hurt. Fortunately, I haven’t seen anything like that yet… “
“No, principal, why is my thesis second, yes?!!”
“Tsk tsk If it’s that important, the guards will do better…”
Hearing the words of the two, Andy was also taken aback.
The fact that it has been adjusted for actual combat means that it is as powerful as a golem that is actually put into battle.
I don’t know how much power it was adjusted to, but a well-made golem boasts at least a sword expert’s fighting power, and if I threw it among these new chicks, it was certain that a great accident would happen.
“Stop the exam?”
“Heh heh.. No matter how ostentatious the test may be, we can’t waste time. Fortunately, there doesn’t seem to be one among the practice golems currently being used, so find it quickly while you’re talking.”
“But I just replaced one because it broke, is that okay?”
“I have prepared 100 spares, but I don’t think they were replaced. Hey, do you have any distinguishing characteristics of Albert?”
“The head has additional parts that make it a conical shape, so you can easily find it by looking at the head.”
“I’ll go help too. It’s scoring. The golem’s data should suffice.”
“School.. You don’t have to go to the principal… Uh.. Thank you..!! Let’s go find it quickly!!”
While everyone was out looking for golems, the next student and a new practice golem came into the test room.
Andy is also on his way to find the mixed golem, but the sight of a student entering the test room catches his eye.
“That student is…?”
A male student with similar blonde hair and a long sword.
I wonder if the biggest difference is that the long sword has a small body similar to its height?
However, the proportions of the body are good, so when you look at it from a distance, it is difficult to tell the difference unless there is someone next to you to compare it to.
Somewhere familiar.
It’s as if I’ve seen it often before.
If you look closely, not only the students but also the golems are unique.
‘Does that golem’s head look like a cone?’
Perhaps the golem you just entered has been adjusted for actual combat…
“Huh?”
Suddenly, the test site flashed with light, and the newly replaced test golem was smashed.
“Uh…Just…Uh…?”
It happened so quickly.
With a clean blow and no loud noise, the golem collapses on the test site as if it had been split into two from the beginning.
Once again the golem is destroyed, as Lucia Russell did, but this time no one reacts.
It seems that everyone has gone outside, so they haven’t seen the exam room.
But I saw.
At least 6th class attack magic was fired from the golem’s head, and the student saw the magic and the golem split in two at the same time with one blow.
That golem must have been the golem that Professor Lena was just adjusting with the actual battle data.
I was looking blankly at the student, and he looked up and our eyes met.
Suddenly, chills ran down my spine.
And from that gaze, the ‘someone’ I wanted to forget the most came to mind.
“I… I remembered something to do for a while, so I’ll stop here for today.”
“Instructor?”
By the time I woke up, I had already left the VIP room and was running frantically down the hallway.
‘Uh… Why is he at the academy?’
No.
That guy can’t be at the academy.
Unlike himself, who retired from the Knights at a young age after being crushed by the horrors of the frontlines, he is a real madman.
It is highly likely that you misunderstood or misunderstood because you were nervous.
Her head thought so, but Andy couldn’t stop his legs.
But what if it’s real?
We need to get out of here quickly.
– Tak Tak Tak Tak
Regular footsteps are heard.
The sound of footsteps chasing him.
It was clear that the student was really after him.
If that student isn’t him, why is he after him?
Why am I running away in the first place?
If it’s not him, wouldn’t he just be able to break through head-on?
Footsteps were heard in the distance, then disappeared.
He had experienced this strange phenomenon once before.
‘Are you really that guy?..!!’
A nightmare-like foreboding phenomenon makes the idea that it’s not him disappear.
If you can no longer hear footsteps, it means that you have “Flyed.”
I tried to avoid the next attack by throwing myself to the right, but
“Keah..!!”
As soon as the footsteps disappeared before he could react, he felt a strong shock on his back, and Andy fell over.
I felt the taste of iron in my mouth as I fell face first on the hard stone floor, even though it was carpeted.
As he tried to stand up thinking that he had to straighten his posture even in the midst of his chaos, something pressed his head.
It can’t be him, it can’t be him, it can’t be him, it can’t be him, it can’t be him, it can’t be him
This is just a student cutting a knife.
“Ah… Ugh..!! Who are you..!! You know who I am…!!!!!”
As an instructor from the Imperial Knights, I mustn’t look down on students.
Brainwashing herself, Andy raised her voice.
But coming back from a student who was holding him down was a definite nightmare.
“Noisy”
-Kwajik!!!
“Hey!”
A long sword was stuck right next to his face.
When she lifted her face up, she could barely see his face.
“Senior, why are you running away? What did you do wrong to me?”
“You… It’s you, Atlas… “
That bastard was right.
Why is that a guy who should be in the Imperial Knights?
