“Again, are you second?”
I got 2nd place in my personal evaluation.
I didn’t mind it though.
Just before.
Evan used great skill.
The surrounding earth axis shook and a strong light wrapped around it.
Things are over.
Evan staggered and was about to fall.
People around them moved quickly and took Evan to the infirmary.
Since it was a large-scale technology, it seemed that recoil had come.
I was shocked to see the situation.
I don’t usually use that level of skill in individual assessments.
Although the personal evaluation was an evaluation, it is actually an exploratory battle.
does not reveal all of its power.
An individual evaluation is merely a cornerstone for a joint evaluation.
The joint evaluation reflected much more scores, so we had to focus on it.
If you reveal all your hands in the individual evaluation, there is a high probability that you will not get a good score in the joint evaluation.
That person is all analyzed.
However, this time Evan’s technique was a little out of the question.
The strong light enveloped the vacant lot, so it was difficult to see how the technology was activated.
Fortunately, after using that skill, there was an Evando recoil.
“By the way, how do you stop that? … .”
The back of the place where the Scarecrow was standing was open.
The wall that had been built to prevent the power from leaking to other places was broken.
Looking at it, I could get a rough idea of the size of the technique Evan used.
Can I break through that wall?
It would be very easy if you hit the wall authentically, but it was impossible with the power to escape by hitting other places.
So can I cope with that technology?
There was no definitive answer.
But, I smiled.
okay. it should be like this
A sense of humor was burning in my heart.
In this joint evaluation, I was planning to get along properly with Evan.
Of course, if Evan showed any signs of making contact with the rebels, he was going to subdue them right away, but if he didn’t, he would stand still.
It was a minimum consideration and a trap to catch the rebels.
that’s it though
“There’s nothing I can do about being in second place… … .”
I didn’t use enough mana to fall.
Rather than using too much mana, I thought it would be more efficient to continue training.
It is a ranking that can be overturned if we do our best during the joint evaluation.
Of course, I was proud of myself.
There are some hardships I’ve been through so far, but I was also envious of Evan’s ability to show that level of power.
However, all of that boosted my motivation.
I have a reason to be stronger.
Defeat Evan.
Give Evan to defeat.
To the extent that not even half of the rebels can recall.
It was a short-term and clear goal.
I smiled.
“Let’s try it.”
***
Evan had no intention of using the technology originally.
After all, the personal evaluation didn’t mean much.
However, after seeing Rudy’s implementation, he changed his mind.
I wanted to win.
I wanted to win somehow.
So, instead of using the original technique, I used the trick.
It was the biggest skill he could use.
‘The conditions were not good, but… … .’
The ecological magic used by Evan was stronger when there were plants around.
Although he reached the level of directly growing grass with mana, he was able to use a larger skill using ordinary grass than artificially created plants.
“Evan!”
Then Yeniel ran into the infirmary.
“Evan, are you okay?”
“uh… … . It doesn’t look bad.”
Evan moved his body.
I used too much mana a while ago and felt dizzy, but it was getting better to some extent.
“More than that… … Could you please tell me what your ranking was?”
Evan came to the infirmary before the evaluation was even completed.
Couldn’t check rank or score.
Yeniel looked at Evan like that and sighed.
“I got 1st place. The score was close to 90,000 points.”
Only then did Evan smile.
“thank god… … .”
“It’s a personal evaluation, but what’s good? How about using such a skill from personal evaluation?”
Yeniel gave Evan a pin cup.
“I wish I was number one.”
However, Evan was smiling as if he liked it.
“You say this was first place, but in the joint evaluation, would it be much worse?”
“You can’t even get first place there. If you beat Rudy Astria… … .”
When Yeniel heard Rudy Astria’s name, her expression hardened.
“Evan, I have a question for you.”
“Well?”
“Why do you want to be the chief?”
Why do you want to become a senior?
Why do you need to be a senior?
Evan had never had such a question.
He thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“… … to become stronger. Senior benefits and… … .”
Before Evan could finish speaking, Yeniel interrupted.
“What are you going to do with your strength?”
“strength… … Have you gotten stronger?”
Evan had no thoughts.
What should I do to become stronger?
‘Why am I trying to be strong?’
It was a fundamental question.
Evan was just trying to get the top spot in the Academy’s competitive system, just doing what the academy told him to do.
When I first joined the academy, there was a reason that it was for tuition, but now that reason has disappeared.
He had already saved up a lot of money, so he didn’t have to worry about tuition.
However, the benefits of the chief were not desperately needed.
The chief’s benefits were rather too great for him.
There are many benefits that have never been used.
If you just have a space to train your strength and a space to study, you can achieve sufficient growth.
Although there were several benefits, it did not contribute much to growth.
Evan was confused, and Yeniel opened his mouth.
“I think you are lost now. There is no such thing as purely wanting to be a senior. I think I’m just crazy about competition.”
“In competition… … .”
“Rudy Astria.”
Evan’s eyes widened as Yeniel said his name.
“You just seem to feel inferior to Rudy Astria.”
Evan clenched his fist at those words.
It felt like something was boiling inside.
“Evan, you… … .”
“Jeniel.”
Evan interrupted Yeniel.
“… … Yes, I feel inferior to Rudy Astria. As you said, I don’t want to be the chief, I just want to beat Rudy Astria. then no? Can’t that be the purpose?”
Evan spit out anger.
He spit out what was inside him.
I said things I couldn’t tell anyone.
However.
“Uh, no.”
Yeniel denied that.
“If what you’re doing now was children’s play, it wouldn’t matter. But, you are not ready to take charge of your power now. I don’t know where your sword should go.”
“However… … .”
“Evan.”
Yeniel looked straight into Evan’s eyes.
“Then what will you do if Rudy Astria suddenly disappears?”
Evan paused with his mouth open at Yeniel’s words.
Without Rudy Astria… … .
“If Rudy Astria gave up everything and disappeared.”
Yeniel said it again.
“What are you going to do?”
***
“fat… … I will.”
After the individual ability evaluation was over, Yuni came out of the bathroom wiping off a cold sweat.
When everything was over, the tension was relieved.
The score was also satisfactory.
It was a pity that we didn’t get 1st place, but there were still evaluations left, so it was enough to laugh.
“uh… … UNI?”
“Seniors? Are you all together?”
As I was walking out of the bathroom like that, Rudine was passing in front of me.
“Uni, are you okay?”
Lie was the first to react to Uni.
Lie looked at Yuni with a worried face.
“I wasn’t feeling well before, but now I’m fine.”
Yuni smiled at Rie as if she couldn’t help but smile.
I didn’t want to cause Lee to worry.
“I was worried a lot because my condition didn’t look good today.”
“It was okay because my sister was worried about me!”
Seeing Yuni’s bright face, Lee also smiled.
“It’s usually because you’re nervous about something. Looking at it now, it looks like nothing has happened.”
At those words, Rudy and Uni, who were next to them, were terrified.
If it had been the same, I wouldn’t have been nervous.
Yuni wasn’t the type of person who was nervous because a lot of people saw it.
There is a reason, and when a lot of people see it in that state, I get nervous.
However, he couldn’t tell Lie straight away.
‘sister… … I’ll tell you later.’
Inwardly, Yuni handed Lie an apple and smeared saliva on her lips.
“Still, I got good grades.”
Rudy laughed and interrupted the conversation.
It was an attempt to quickly change the content of the conversation.
Upon hearing Rudy’s words, Yuni laughed.
“Yes? I got good grades. I have the same rank as Rudy-senpai.”
Rudy stared at Yuni.
“Why are you hitting me all of a sudden?”
“It’s not Mac. Did you do well in 2nd place?”
Yuni was right.
2nd place was also very good, but to Rudy, that place meant something special.
Because it was Rudy, who had only been in second place every day.
Of course, Uni knew this and said it, and Rudy was also noticing it.
“Ehh… … . Even if you take care of me, I hear things like that… … .”
“Does your senior take care of me?”
“I was afraid you might be nervous, so I went there myself.”
Yuni tilted her head.
“How did you take care of that? Did that help… … . The one who really took care of me was Luna-senpai~.”
Yuni smiled and looked at Luna behind her.
“Ahaha… … .”
Yuni went to Luna to untie the clothes tied around her waist.
“Senior, thank you. This is so well done.”
“I’m glad it was helpful.”
“her… … .”
Rudy looked at the situation as if it was ridiculous.
“Oh, and the candy the sunbaenim gave me! ate so well! ah… … Come to think of it, I should say thank you to Ena-senpai.”
“ah… … right. that candy… … .”
Luna smiled awkwardly.
“It works so well! When I try to rate… … .”
“Uni… … . Anna said… … . It’s just candy. They said there was no analgesic effect or anything like that… … . So I was going to tell you in advance.”
“… … yes?”
Yuni tilted her head.
“certainly… … I ate it and it was fine… … . It seemed to have a calming effect… … .”
Yuni said with a puzzled face.
“They said it was just plain candy made by Ena. It doesn’t contain anything else… … .”
A question mark popped up in Yuni’s head.
Uni tried to say thank you for saying it worked so well.
But it was candy with no medicinal effect.
“Then why am I okay? … ?”
Yuni tilted her head and muttered quietly to herself.
