Chapter 65 Second
The freshman skill test is over.
Aside from the faculty, the one who suffered the most in this test was by far the frontier.
Because of frequent rule changes along the way, the largest number of people took the retest.
It goes without saying that all the suffering was meaningless.
“In the end, even if you take the retest, you will all fail… … !”
Frontier let go of the last team and mumbled alone lamentably.
There was only one team that passed the second stage in charge of Frontier. It is truly a wailing wall.
[Frondie.]
Then the voice came from the speaker again. It was the student council president, Elin.
“What?”
[All the students who entered your test failed the skill test.]
“It’s not my fault.”
It’s Frontier’s fault.
There’s no way to know about the skills of the freshmen, it’s just a test by dropping them all out.
[So it’s a temporary measure, but you should do what Aster and Elodie did.]
“What?”
[I heard that you boast a considerable memory.]

None of the words were right, but Frontier listened quietly.[Give your own scores to the students who have taken the test so far.]
“Are all the students?”
[okay. It’s your fault.]
“I didn’t do it myself.”
It’s right that you made it yourself
Frontier released a chair made of black cloth. The black liquid went into the black lotus, and Frontier lay down on the floor.
While maintaining the Heukcheon for such a long time, he fought with the students at the same time, but there was no mana burden yet. It was a family development.
Frontier lay down and thought about Elin’s words for a moment. Grade all the students who have entered so far. Replicating without missing a single thing.
[It’s a joke. I recorded it with Wizard View,]
“All right.”
[yes?]
“I will rewrite everything and grade it.”
Just in case, Frontier analyzed all the students who took part in the self-test and saved it in the workshop. Every time the test was over, I wrote down special things in the workshop. In fact, it’s almost like you’ve already finished scoring.
[…] … Are you really doing that?]
“You did it.”
Frontier responds as if it’s natural.
A cautious voice came from the speaker, which had been silent for a moment.
[Frondier, you know that? It is said that the demon Belphegor, who is in charge of sloth, had a subordinate beside him to record all his memories in order to solve the annoyance.]
“Don’t be swept away by strange rumors, even seniors. I am not the devil.”
[Yeah, that’s right. That’s what I’ve done.]
Even so, his voice was quite serious.
Besides, I feel bad because it seems a bit similar.

The freshman proficiency test is over.
The team that received the highest evaluation was the Dier team. They are the only team to have passed the 2nd stage of Frontier, and have reached the 5th stage.
However, among them, the person with the highest evaluation was Pielot, not Dier.
Frontier and Elodie gave Pielot a slightly salty score, but the other testers generally gave high scores.
It was Dier who solved the mission by using the team’s abilities, but the people in charge saw Pielot, who currently has high abilities, excellently.
It was widely believed that Dier was able to use his brain because he had a strong card called Pielot.
Frontier also didn’t think that Pielot’s abilities were lacking, so he didn’t feel any problem with those evaluations.
It was Pielot himself who was really dissatisfied.
“Damn it… … .”
Pielot snorted inwardly as he headed to the dormitory.
He was angry with himself.
He confidently admitted that he is a promising prospect with the highest expectations, but he failed to get his hands on it by Frontier.
I also lost to Elodie, but that was okay. From the beginning, I never thought that I would fight against the best of Constell and win. I was a bit resentful that I couldn’t even touch one of my fingertips.
But Frontier is different. He’s not even the strongest character in Constell, and he’s not far behind Aster or Elodie. He is just famous. Its fame is not built on strength.
‘At this time last year, you must have been a ‘human sloth’.’
Pielot investigated Frontier after he suffered horribly in the skill test. Until last year, Frontier was clearly a human sloth.
So, Frontier has achieved incredible growth in just one year.
‘Nonsense. There’s no way you can become strong enough just by training.’
Pielot mumbled into his room in the dormitory.
“Hey, are you here?”
My roommate was lying on the bed and waving at him.
Coincidentally, Pierlot’s roommate was Diego.
Is it a joke of fate, or is it really not a joke? After the skill test, Pielot’s roommate had changed to Dier.
Pielot looked at Diego for a moment, reading a book in bed with the same face as usual.
“… … .”
“What is that expression? Are you still stuck with what I stepped on? I’m sorry.”
“not.”
Pielot sighed and shook his head.
In fact, Pierrot had no feelings for Dier’s step on his head. Of course, I was a little angry at the time, but as time passed, I rather reflected.
Dier was predicting what Pielot would do so-called ‘fools’. It means that his impatience was visible enough for others to read.
It is not enough to thank Dier for making me realize that.
… … Of course, I wouldn’t say that even if I die because of my pride.
“Dier.”
“why?”
“Why do you think sloth is strong?”
“What is that? Is this a philosophical question?”
“It’s a real question.”
Dier looked away from the book, lay down and stared at the ceiling for a moment. His worries were short-lived.
“Of course, he’s a black sky or something.”
“… … Also.”
The black liquid that made them hard throughout the test. They heard Homas’s story and knew that the liquid was called ‘black spring’.
“It doesn’t seem like that to me.”
“What if he didn’t have a Black Heaven?”
Dier felt a sign of disquiet at Pielot’s words and frowned. Her gaze on the ceiling returned to Pielot. It was already a warning sign.
“Hey, what do you think?”
“You were good at hiding your presence. And good hair. Have you never thought of that? Even if there is no Black Heaven, he will be strong.”
“How do you know that?”
“… … .”

Not what to doJust, Pielot just wants to confirm.
Can a person become so strong in a year? Wouldn’t that really help artifacts?
Pielot always wanted to prove his strength. Therefore, he was deeply engraved in his mind that he was the best prospect in the first year, and he left the other team members to Frontier and went on his own, and he did not break his stubbornness.
In other words, it is always insecure without being confirmed. As much as he has a strong hunger for his skills, he also has an inherent sense of inferiority.
I just don’t want to believe that anyone other than him has grown so absurdly in one year.
“No matter what you think, don’t do anything useless. Because I have no intention of helping you with anything or hiding your presence.”
“Heh, that’s it.”
Pierrot shook his head at Diego’s stubborn refusal.
If Diego has similar thoughts, it would be most appropriate to ask him for help, but with that attitude, I don’t think we can borrow any strength.
‘I can’t help it.’
Pielot glanced, averted his eyes and looked out the window.
Outside the window after school, the sun was slowly setting and preparing for the sunset.
‘I’m a little reluctant, though.’
Pielot had another way.
Pielot was expected to have a talent comparable to Aster.
It was, of course, due to the early awakening of the Auror and the overflowing mana, but there was a bigger factor.
Just as Aster was loved by the god Baldur along with his swordsmanship, mental power, and excellent body.
Pielot also has divine powers.
Although not as famous as Baldur, it was clear that he was a fairly old god.
Above all, this god loves Pielot more than Baldur loves Aster.
—Are you okay, Pielot?
His god whispered quietly.
-I’m just doing what you want?
God’s voice was soft and sweet, reaching Pielot’s ear.
‘okay.’
Pielot thought.
He’s not trying to commit a serious crime.
For a moment, I just want to borrow one thing. Of course I will return it.

Early in the morning when everyone is asleep.
Someone suddenly stood up in the Roach mansion.
It was Madeline, a maid who always cleaned the mansion and took care of the courtyard.
Her eyes were unfocused when she got up, and she stood up and walked out of the room.
As she walked out of the hallway, she was still asleep, and that made her weak and a little wobbly.
In other words, she was now sleepwalking.
Madeline had never suffered from sleepwalking in her life.
So, this was a very unusual situation.
quiver-
Madeline walked to Frontier’s room and opened the door. Had she been awake, she would have wondered that this door was unlocked. There is a separate user who manages the keys.
The answer was simple. Before Madeleine came here, there must have been another person suffering from sleepwalking.
jerk.
Madeline entered the room. Looking around with blank eyes, I walked towards the bed where Frontier was lying.
Frontier, of course, was sleeping. A deep sleep came to Frontier, who had a hard time sleeping because of his sensitive sensations recently. This, too, was not natural.
“… … .”
Madeline looked away from Frontier and looked at the shelf next to it. I opened the drawer and found the necklace and armband that Frontier always wore.
Madeline lifted them both up and held them in her arms. And immediately turned around and walked away.
There was no such thing as Ando, who said that he stole the Heukryeon safely, or the anxiety of keeping an eye on the Frontier for fear of waking up. As if he was certain that Frontier would never wake up.
—Yes, come out of the mansion as it is. Hey.
Madeline followed the voice out of Frontier’s room, walked down the hallway, down the stairs, and opened the door to the mansion. The still chilly smell of the dawn of spring swept Madeline’s knees.
It must have been seen through Frontier’s eyes. Outside the mansion, next to Madeline, who was standing blankly, an old man with a cane was close by.
He is the god of Pielot, Hypnos.
Hypnos, the Greek god of sleep, is the twin brother of Thanatos, who threatened the life of the former Frontier. In contrast to Thanatos, who was in the form of a very young boy, this one was in the form of an old man.
However, perhaps it was just an appearance, Hypnos’ standing posture and gait were no different from those of a strong young man.
Hypnos’ power grows stronger as the night goes on, to be precise, the more people sleep, the stronger his power gets. Sleep becomes his mana and nourishment.
For him who controls sleep, it is not about controlling a sleeping person or making a person fall asleep completely. Unless you know ahead of time and prepare for it, you can’t stop his power.
-Fufu, it’s a simple thing.
Hypnos found a suitable place to hide the black lotus. Even so, it was unreasonable to make Madeline walk all the way to Constell’s dormitory. If you leave the Roach mansion and hide it in a place that no one will know about, it will be enough if Pielot comes to find it later.
In fact, there is no need for Pielot to come. Pielot just wants to see the Frontier without the Black Sky.
─Okay. Shall we get out of here first?
At Hypnos’ words, Madeline moved without any reaction. His orders have no meaning in affirmative or negative answers. For those who hear do not ask any questions and must obey his words.
However, it was only three steps.
Paah!
The black lotus that Madeline was holding suddenly lit up.
Hypnos was surprised by this and confirmed it. what? He already knew about Heukryeon’s lock. Hypnos has also been given enough information.
If it is not Frontier’s fingerprint, the Black Lily will not work. So if you don’t intend to use it, no problem—
[Of course I said that to Frontier.]
The necklace’s light was focused in one direction, creating a human figure on the ground in front of him. It was a hologram made of magic.
Hypnos did not even dream that Heukryeon had such a function.
It was natural.
Because the owner, Frontier himself, didn’t know either.
[I owe Frontier. So I made it secretly. ‘Second Security Device’. The long-standing bait that Frontier doesn’t know about.]
The human form completed by that hologram was looking at Hypnos with a fearless smile.
The identity of the character was clear.
[I wondered if someone dared touch my artifact without fear.]
Edwin von Behertio.
Edwin, a genius in security magic and magic engineering, appeared in front of Hypnos.
[I wonder if there is a god who checks my face before Hephaestus.]
-You, how is your attitude toward God… … !
[Hypnos.]
Edwin showed a faint smile under his plain face.
Edwin immediately knew the true identity of God. Hypnos was very easy to recognize because of its appearance and characteristics. There was a woman with sleepwalking next to her, so she had finished talking.
[How I suffered from God, and what kind of people I almost lost because of it.]
Edwin the hologram. Since he himself is not here, Hypnos can’t pose any threat to Edwin right now.
Of course, Edwin was the same, but in fact, just by seeing Hypnos now, he posed a great threat to Hypnos.
[If you knew, that kind of bullshit wouldn’t come out.]
Edwin once had his emotions manipulated by God. He is very different now than he was then.
As if God had any immunity.
[Were you still sleeping at that time? Hypnos, god of sleep.]
-Your boy… … !
An existence that never existed in this world.
Those who do not believe in God are the second.
Ooooh!
