Chapter 64 The Weakest (2)
– Let me feel the difference in power.
Jane said so in front of the students in Class 1 of the second year.
He said he was worried about taking tests with students, so that was probably the will of the student council presidents Ellin or Constell.
Frontier was truly relieved that he was in charge of the second stage test. The fact that he was in Stage 2 meant that Constell was still looking at Frontier with that level of skill.
A few days ago, the students in Class 1 were told that they had their powers while watching Frontier, but they haven’t been caught up yet.
Let me feel the difference in power.
Everyone knew the meaning of those words. Constell is a combat training school where nobles and commoners from all regions gather.
There are many students who are hesitant about the fame, but there are many people who become arrogant from the moment they enter because they have never seen the wide world other than education in their family.
It’s okay to be arrogant It remains to be seen whether that is really arrogance, or whether it is self-confidence based on sufficient skills.
If you stay in Constell, your arrogance will be adjusted automatically by the difference in your abilities with those around you.
But it will definitely take some time to adjust. And you risk getting injured during that time. That’s what Constell is worried about.
‘In other words, it means that first-year students realize their abilities early.’
Aten Terst thought for a moment in the third stage.
Confidence needs reason. Through this test, students will realize where they are.
Even if you are overly discouraged, if you pass the test easily, you will gain confidence. If you fail the test, you will realize your skills and throw away your arrogance.
So don’t look Only then will the freshmen know their skills and gain real confidence when they pass the test.
However.
“You shouldn’t have said that to Frontier.”
Aten sighed quietly.
As there are many first-year students, there are multiple exam halls. Of course, there are far fewer test sites for level 3 than for level 2. There are fewer test sites for level 4, and there are only two test sites for the final level 5. Elodie and Aster are on standby, respectively.
Students who have passed Stage 2 wait again in the waiting room, and when the appropriate number of people is filled, enter the empty one of the exam halls in Stage 3.
Testers at level 3 can see whose level 2 the freshmen have been through.
When new students move on to the next stage, the person in charge of that stage must also be prepared, so the person in charge can check the waiting room of the previous stage with a wizard view.
The waiting room is in the shape of a circle where several exits are gathered so that the students who have passed the previous stage gather in one place. So, the next level officials show which exit the freshmen came out of.
So, if you know who the test manager at the exit is, you can also find out whose test the freshmen who passed naturally passed.
And Frontier’s test site is the left-most exit based on the Wizard View that Aten sees.
… … No one has come out of it yet.
a few minutes ago.
The management quickly found out that Frontier was not sending any freshmen. During the break, someone’s voice came out through the speaker installed so that all the staff in charge could hear it.
[Frondie, the student council.]
The student council president, Elin, spoke directly to Frontier.
Frontier’s soft reply came to him.
[Long time no see, Elin-senpai.]
[Let’s change the rules. Instead of opening the next door with the key, touch the key with your hand to pass.]
Frontier’s test originally had to get the key and open the next door while avoiding the frontier’s interference.
In fact, most of the tests other than Frontier were similar. It’s not like I put the key among a lot of things for nothing.
Aten felt an ominous feeling from the moment she heard the conversation.
A few more minutes later, the sense was right.
[Frondie, let’s change the rules.]
[Again?]
[Whether it’s a hand or an arrow, just drop the key and pass.]
[It won’t be easy.]
after a few minutes.
[Frondie, if you touch the key, let’s change it to a pass.]
[I am concerned about the backlash of the students. I think it will hurt my pride.]
again after a few minutes.
[…] … Frontier.]
[What is this time?]
[I’ll send you a chair, so don’t get up there.]
[Are you testing me, not a freshman?]
It was not unreasonable for Aten to let out a sigh naturally after hearing that conversation.
Most of the other reps I’ve been listening to will probably have a similar reaction. Of course, those who don’t know about Frontier won’t even understand what this conversation is about.
However, Frontier’s last words, ‘I’ll prepare the chair for you’, made me a little worried. How do you prepare?
‘Mr. Robald said ‘Hey Frontier! Don’t look at the freshmen! If you do, I won’t forgive you!’
Aten doesn’t mean he knows everything about Frontier.
But she saw with her own eyes that Frontier had blown up Renzo’s arm.
Whether it was a coincidence or whatever, at least the Frontier was capable of that.
Isn’t it Constell’s big mistake to entrust the second stage to such a Frontier?
‘Still, the next student is said to be that Pilot.’
Pielot is a topic of discussion not only among freshmen, but also among teachers and senior students.

Next to Aster, the owner of the talent that can go beyond that. Unlike other stages, Stage 1 and Stage 2 are attached, so from the time Pielot entered the stage 1 test, it was a scheduled procedure for him to meet Frontier.Due to time, I’ll be taking the Frontier’s test soon.
‘… … Will you come over this time?’
Aten looked at the Wizard with concern and anticipation.
* * *
Pielot flew through the air.
The body, which showed a splendid rotation in the air, stayed in the sky for an amazing flight time,
Koo!
“Wow!”
crashed to the floor
It wasn’t really his will to go round and round in the air, he just got hit by Frontier and flew away.
“I told you that knocking me down was the surest solution.”
said Frontier, who sat in the chair without a single hair change.
“I wasn’t talking about running alone.”
“Ugh… … !”
Pielot grinded his teeth and stood up again. For a gorgeous fall to the ground, his face was still intact.
Pielot was angry about it. It’s proof that Frontier took care not to get hurt like playing with a child. It was similar to what Atjie did to Aster.
“Hey, stop now. All together,”
fault!
Pielot ignored Dier’s words and rushed towards Frontier once more. Wearing an auror all over his body, it was certainly an amazing growth rate for a freshman.
‘It took half a year after Aster joined Constell to awaken the Aurors, so it’s understandable people’s expectations of Pielot.’
Pielot’s sword flew toward Frontier at an eerie speed. It was already a test and it was enough to live. But Frontier welcomed it rather.
‘That’s a good thing. Practice like in real life. What a plausible statement.’
I wonder how many people would look at Pielot and say things like that.
puck! Whoops!
“Big!”
Frontier used the black cloth to hit Pielot’s side and the back of his neck. It wasn’t a particularly great speed and difficult track. It’s just that the gap in Pielot’s emotions has grown too wide.
However, this time Pielot did not fall. I clenched my teeth and took the next step. For the first time his sword came within range of Frontier.
Pielot’s eyes lit up. He is a pure prosecutor. In order to have a proper fight, you must first enter close combat.
It doesn’t mean anything if you don’t succeed. So, this moment is the greatest chance to unleash the power of Pielot. Besides, there is a restriction that Frontier is sitting in a chair now and cannot get up from there.
‘Hmm.’
Frontier saw it and held the sword with a black cloth in his right hand. It was copied from anything in the workshop.
Kaang!
The two blades collided.
‘It would be nice to spread the ‘Nakjang’ like this.’
Let’s try a few.
Frontier’s brief thoughts crossed his mind, and the two blades collided with each other in succession, spitting fire.
“Ugh… … !”
Pielot drooled. He was unable to win a close fight against a seated opponent.
I don’t understand why it can’t be pushed out by force. The opponent doesn’t even use an aura, let alone sit down, so it would be difficult to give him proper strength.
But from Frontier’s point of view, the showdown was too obvious.
‘Swordsmanship is normal.’
From the point of view of Frontier who was beaten up by Atzier every day, Pielot’s swordsmanship wasn’t bad, but that was it. Rather, it is surprising that he has such a level of swordsmanship and emits such an aura.
For Frontier, who had learned ‘prediction’ to the extent that Atzier’s thoughts were pierced like an iron core, the starting point of the attack was clearly visible in his eyes. In addition, you can see the flow of mana through the ‘sixth sense’, making it easier to read.
Before Pielot’s attack begins, Frontier draws his blade toward the starting point.
Pielot is blocked before he can even use his full strength. Frontier does not have power comparable to Pielot. It’s just making Pielot not do his best.
‘If you cool your head a little, you’ll notice it right away.’
On the surface, it seems to be a synthesis of all kinds of words such as coolness, calmness, and rationality, but when unexpected situations arise, it visibly shakes. It’s hard to compare it to Aster like the rumors in the world.
“Come on, over here.”
Kook-
“… … Ugh!”
Pielot swung his sword frantically, and at some point found a blade that pressed against his chest.
As he began to wield it loudly, the sword of Frontier stood quietly before Pielot’s life.
“Now step back and cool your head.”
“… … Oh, it’s still a long way… … !”
“This is your last chance.”
At Frondier’s words, Pielot’s mouth was shut. A warning color lingered in the depths of Frontier’s languid eyes.
“Since you attacked me, so far, you have died a total of six times. If you were like the other kids, you would have already been disqualified. What do you think is the reason for giving one of you such a chance?”
“… … .”
At Frontier’s words, Pielot shut his mouth and thought for a moment.
Of course, because I am the most anticipated person in the first year—
“Because your judgment is too stupid.”
“Ugh… … !”
“As you may know, five people came in from the waiting room, but the moment you come in, you are a team. So if one person is disqualified, the other four will be disqualified accordingly.”
At that, Pielot opened his eyes wide and looked back.
Of the four who watched him fight, three except for Dier were looking at Pielot with subdued eyes. Dierman only shrugged his shoulders as usual.
“It would be very pitiful if the other four were disqualified because of the stupid and arbitrary choice of one of you. That’s the reason, you stupid thing. You foolish and arrogant bastard who thinks I’m the only one doing well.”
Frontier said and pushed his sword. The blade, which slowly pushed back, did not pierce or cut Pielot, but made him take a step backwards.
“It was my last chance. Go head to head with the kids over there and think about it.”
Pielot bit his lower lip and shook his head as if he had finally come to his senses, and his expression became more calm. I turned back and walked towards the place where the tumbled four were.
“… … .”
“… … .”
momentary silence. Others didn’t know what to say to Pielot. Pielot had no intention of saying anything to them either.
I thought it was right to apologize, but because of my pride, I couldn’t get the words out.
“Hey, Pielot.”
It was then that Dier opened his mouth.
When Pierrot saw Dier, he said with a refreshing smile.
“You’re cool!”
“… … this child… … .”
“Hey, second year is amazing. If it were me, I would have rolled over the floor in three seconds.”
Contrary to words, Dier’s eyes were sparkling. Pielot didn’t understand that. What is this guy, is the look in the eyes of the kid who says he’s weak?
“Also,”
Dier said with those brightly colored eyes.
“Nice to come to Constell!”
“… … !”
At those words, the expressions of the others, including Pielot, changed. Everyone’s eyes widened for a moment, and everyone’s expressions became more relaxed.
The man who first informed Dier about the waiting room asked.
“Are you thinking of something?”
“Roughly.”
Dier replied immediately. Pielot frowned at him and said.
“Is there a way to beat ‘Sloth’s Frontier’?”
“No, sloth can’t win.”
This was also an immediate answer. About that time, I heard a weak voice saying, ‘Don’t call me that.’
“But the purpose of this test is not to beat the upperclassmen. Now everyone knows Why did this test seem so easy when only it was explained?”
Dier pointed to the key with his finger as he spoke. Whatever method you use, just touch that key and you’ll pass. It’s an easy level of difficulty that would have been given as a test if you just listened to it.
“I wonder if we can all work together and aim for the key with all our might.”
“… … .”
“Because of that senior, the conditions themselves were so easy. I can raise the difficulty level by myself.”
Everyone nodded with determination.
Everyone watched Pielot fight. Unidentified black water. A liquid whose volume and quantity cannot be guessed attacks its form and trajectory unreadable.
The restriction that Frontier must sit in a chair doesn’t even feel like a restriction anymore.
“… … That’s not all.”
Pielot said, narrowing her eyes.
“There is an invisible attack. It would have been difficult to notice from behind.”
“… … lie. Can’t you see the attack?”
“I was skeptical at first too, but after fighting a few times, it became clear. The black liquid’s attack is scary, but in the meantime, an invisible attack flies. The damage itself isn’t that great, but it makes you lose balance at critical times.”
After that, everyone looked at each other. Is it possible to counter both black liquid and transparent attacks?
“it’s okay. Because I knew.”
“What?”
Then Dier said. He was not surprised. As he watched Pielot fight, he missed nothing.
Pielot asked suspiciously.
“Did you know? really?”
“It’s a plan with that in mind, so everyone listen.”
Dier spoke and motioned for him to come closer. As Frontier literally said, the five of them started discussing them head-to-head.
Hearing the whole operation, everyone nodded. He didn’t like Pielot, either, but he thought that Dier’s strategy was reasonable.
Meanwhile, the magical girl sighed as if she had suddenly thought of it.
“… … Come to think of it, this was the second stage.”
“… … It did.”
It was a fact I didn’t want to know, but when I heard it, my eyes went dark.
“If level 2 is this much, how strong are the seniors at level 3, 4, and 5?”
They had a strong reverence not only for the Frontier, but also for the seniors who awaited the next level.
Among them, I believed that Frontier was the weakest.
