“Me? I don’t do any special preparations…”
“So do I.”
terminal.
As the name suggests, it is a test taken at the end of the semester.
Elphon’s curriculum is divided into two semesters per year, and one big test is taken at the end of each semester, roughly like a final exam. in terms of Earth.
I leaned back on the chair with my arms crossed.
There are just over two weeks left until the semester exams.
It wasn’t about anyone else, but there was a part that I was a little worried about as well.
Even though the other subjects were the same, it was because the magic theory was still very daunting.
Grades don’t really matter, but I need to get enough grades that I won’t be suspended or expelled.
‘Theory is really annoying…’
Just because it was difficult doesn’t mean I’ve given up on studying theory.
I worked hard on my own, but it’s still difficult just to follow the content of the class.
This is not a modern Earth, and what I do not know is that it was not a comfortable world where I could search the Internet.
There was a shortage of data, and even he had to work hard to find them one by one, so he had to work hard in many ways.
In this state, I was feeling a bit of a sense of crisis because I did not know what the results of the theory test would be.
‘It would be nice if someone taught me like a one-on-one tutoring.’
It would be nice if only the parts that were clogged up could be cleaned up at least once before the exam.
However, it was unreasonable to ask Ka-Ann or Esca. Neither of them were very good at theory.
As I was thinking about it, in an instant, a person flashed through my mind.
A student who is not close at all, but is the best in the grade in terms of ability.
“············”.
Shall we talk for a moment?
It wasn’t without a reason. Leah and I were in the same group in the theory class.
and······.
“Yes why?”
When he stared at Rygon, he made a puzzled face.
I shook my head and said.
“No, I’m not going out this holiday, but why not study at the library together?”
“At the library?”
“Uh. Leegon, do you also have a theory course? You also have a common culture.”
“Oh, is that so? It’s good that it’s something different too.”
Car-Ann quickly responded with excitement.
Lygon and Bion nodded as if they liked it.
***
After a day, it’s time for a magic theory class in the morning.
“······What?”
After class was over, the members of the team, including Leah, had different expressions on the story I brought up.
“Isn’t it the semester exam soon? So, I was wondering how about getting together and studying on a holiday?”
The two members naturally looked at Leah with a look of trembling.
I understand why you react that way.
There was no way that she, who usually puts an iron wall around her, was doing something like a study meeting.
“Who should I be wasting time like that?”
And Leah’s reaction was as expected.
I spoke in a calm tone.
“Classes have been conducted in groups so far, so there is a high probability that exams will be group-based. Then, wouldn’t it be more advantageous for grades to exchange information and opinions while studying together?”
Leah frowned and tried to say something.
But before that, I added a word.
“This holiday, I decided to gather with my friends at the library to study. But, as you know, I’m not good at theory, so I asked if you guys could do it together.
Saying that, I glanced at Leah’s reaction, and I felt a moment of pause.
She was silent for a moment, then asked bluntly.
“When and how much will you do?”
At that, the crew looked at her with a look of surprise.
I was also a little surprised inside.
‘This is real.’
It was a story I brought up because I thought I might be able to entice them if I use Lygon as bait.
“From around noon until about dinner time. How about it?”
Leah just nodded without saying anything and got up from her seat. And immediately left the classroom.
As they shifted their gaze to the other two members, they also nodded.
“But it’s surprising. I didn’t expect him to be so docile…”
“Yeah. Ran, are you close with Leia?”
can it be
I shook my head.
“No, not really.”
***
It was a holiday, and the meeting was held at the library as promised.
I asked for your understanding in advance that Ka-Ann and the boys would have additional members.
“It’s surprising. I didn’t know that I would study with you at the same time, hey.”
Ka-Ann spoke to Leah, who was seated first.
Leah glanced at Caran for a moment and then turned back to the book she was reading.
Somehow, the position was formed based on me.
On the left, the theory class members, and on the right, Caran, Escar, and Bayon sat down and started studying.
“Leah, I don’t understand this part here…”
I secretly asked Leah one by one about the parts that were blocked as it was originally intended.
She looked displeased, but she taught me. Much more sincere than I thought.
‘Ah, that’s the way it was solved.’
And it definitely helped a lot.
I put together what I had learned from her and spurred my theory studies.
Time to take a short break alone to cool off your overheated head.
I alternately looked at Rigon and Leia, who were sitting next to me.
‘He must have come because of Lee Gon…’
Despite that, Leia was concentrating on her studies without paying attention to Rigon.
The only words the two of them shared were greetings when they first met.
It was a little frustrating to watch, but on the other hand, I was also thankful to Leia, so I looked at the atmosphere.
Lygon was scratching his head with a tired face, holding a history book.
He spoke gently to Lygon.
“History? Common liberal arts study?”
“yes.”
“But what’s with your face. What’s blocking you?”
“No, it’s just. I think what I learned in class and the material and content are slightly different. I’m confused.”
“Then just ask Leia. You probably know the history well.”
Ligon looked at Leia at my words.
Leah also stopped her pen and said, ‘Huh?’ I was looking at this with this expression.
Rigon, who was watching, immediately smiled softly and asked her.
“Can you teach me something?”
“·······What is confusing?”
“So, it’s the Jehak disaster that it was in the 321 year of the imperial calendar…”
Lygon got up with the book and moved to sit next to her.
Unlike when she taught me, Leia explained it to Rigon without showing any displeasure.
I watched the scene for a moment, then turned off my mind and focused on my studies.
As I concentrated on my studies, it was almost time for the sun to set.
Kaan made a sound of pain as she stretched.
“Oh, I’m hungry. Let’s go eat dinner after this.”
The atmosphere was slowly clearing up the room, so I closed the book and organized my notes.
“Are you going to have dinner together?”
“Huh? Well, maybe.”
Ka-Ann asked Leah and the theory crew.
The two said yes, but Leah ignored it and tried to leave.
Kaan looked at her like that and asked.
“Hey Leah. Where are you going? Let’s eat together.”
To that, Leah replied with an annoying tone.
“What are you pretending to be friendly with? I’m fine, so don’t bother me.”
“What?”
Kane put on an absurd expression on her face.
“No, you just got along well, so why are you like this?”
“It didn’t suit me, I just prepared for the exam. Because of my grades.”
“Well, isn’t that what it is…?”
Kaan asked while tilting her head.
“No, I’ve been curious about it for a long time, but why do you want to go out alone like that? It’s fun and good if you all get along. Isn’t it fun if you don’t get along like that?”
It wasn’t malicious to Ka-Ann, but Leah was still expressionless.
“Getting together is something that only people of the right level can do.”
“Level? Are you talking about magic skills, or your family? Why are you asking such questions?”
Leah said in a colder voice.
“Because they are all just ignorant people. A person who harbors a feeling of inferiority and is jealous of me, a person who trembles with a flat father and trembles in hopes of falling apart, a person who is just annoyed because he is stupid. Why do I have to be patient with them?”
·······What kind of rush?
I wondered why he was suddenly there, and I watched him silently.
Kaan said with a dissatisfied face.
“I don’t feel inferior to you, and I have no intention of flattering you.”
“Then you must be just an idiot. Do you want me to stop talking now?”
Then Rigon intervened. Rarely in a cold voice.
“You’re mean. Do you really have to say it that way?”
Leia flinched and looked at Rygon.
Biting her lip, she quickly let out a sneer and turned around.
“Don’t waste your time playing with friends because you’re born with such a talent. Even if it’s not now, in the end, everything will be as I said.”
“············”.
“Oh, and when I’m sure I’m definitely ahead of you, I’m going to apply for a duel again. Wait until then. I wanted to say this, but I never got the chance.”
Leah said that and strode away.
Looking at her back, Kaan muttered with a bewildered face.
“Anyway, he’s a really weird guy…”
it was sympathy
Semester Exam (1)
Time passed and the day of the school year came.
While having breakfast in the restaurant, the atmosphere of the surrounding students was quite different from usual.
“Semester exams are very important. I know that failing three or more subjects in a semester is unconditional expulsion. Freshmen are no exception.”
“Yeah? It’s very tight.”
To Escar’s explanation, Caan responded like that and was busy eating again.
Whether it was Car-Ann or Lee-Gon, they didn’t seem to care much because it was the test day. Same goes for Bion.
On the other hand, looking at Escar at a glance, he was full of nervousness.
“Should I stop eating? Aren’t you supposed to eat well, Escar?”
“No. I feel like I’m only going to feel bad for nothing.”
After eating, we went straight to the classroom.
The semester exam is held over three days, and I heard that the test method differs from subject to subject.
And it was announced that the first test subject of the day, magic theory, would be conducted in the existing classroom.
“Make sure you have a space between them and sit down.”
When the time came, the assistant professor spoke to the students as soon as they entered the class.
It seemed that the test supervisor was not a professor, but an assistant professor.
Magic Theory was basically a complete written subject, so the exam was also written.
Rather than that, the class was conducted in groups, so I thought the test method would be the same, but it was an individual test.
‘I thought that if I did well, I would be able to put it on.’
Unfortunately, the magic theory exam was completely up to my personal abilities.
Well, as long as you avoid the failing point, it doesn’t matter… I worked pretty hard.
As Escar said earlier, Elphon’s rules were quite strict. If you miss 3 or more subjects, you will be expelled immediately.
Still, I wasn’t too concerned.
Magic theory was the only subject I was weak in, and the other subjects were at least average.
Even if I get a real failing grade, I won’t be expelled from school. maybe.
“I’ll start the test.”
At the same time as the assistant professor’s words fell, the sound of students unfolding the test papers in unison rang out.
In the silence that followed, I slowly opened the exam paper.
The test went surprisingly smoothly.
Any problems that were clogged were passed right away, and after solving all the problems that could be solved, a third was solved.
this academy arc is insanely boring
