How to Survive at the Academy 79

Freshman Class Placement Test (3)

Saint Clarisse had two dreams.

One when the eyes are open and the other when the eyes are closed.

One is the dream planted by Archbishop Verdio, and the other is the dream planted by the romanticist Adele.

– ‘You must become a person who is like a white sheet of paper.’

– ‘Imagine an unshaken sea beyond the horizon. Mr Clarisse. It is as wide as Hahae, but seek the silence without the sound of water.’

– ‘Everything is equal under the Lord Telos, and no one can be taken lightly. We live to realize that will.’

– ‘I believe that the sublime comes from a belief that has been maintained unwaveringly throughout life. I have no doubt that the sublime will be endowed with an irreplaceable value.’

During the day, he was always taught by Verdio.

The Holy Hwang who rules Saint Carpea, and the next in power of the church, Verdio… is a model for believers as a person who has lived his whole life surrendering to God.

Even Saint Claris, the Lamb of Telos, who had lived without any wrongdoing, saw his devout beliefs and was ashamed of his own faults.

He was truly worthy of respect, and more than anyone else, he deserved to be rewarded by God.

He has a courageous heart, but is not conceited. He is a person who always tries to listen fairly to the voices of the weakest.

So Clarisse had a dream. Like Verdio, who is always dazzling, he remains a pure white girl without any faults and lives for the will of Telos.

A life that saves believers by remaining as a clean, flawless saint, obviously contains a sublime that ordinary people cannot have.

– ‘It’s better to die in the mud than to live on white paper.’

– ‘If you only look at pure white walls and ceilings, your eyesight tends to decline. The romance of a world full of natural colors is something you will never know unless you experience it.’

At night, sitting by the window, I listened to Adele playing the mandolin. On a starry night, Adele always came to visit.

Prophet Adele. Self-proclaimed romantic Adele.

The dead-eyed girl who managed the denomination’s sacred fire left the denomination one day, although the cause is unknown.

The girl with her braided hair and a bunch of pretty flowers on the world was playing with only one instrument, but suddenly she became a poet of romance.

Don’t you go to Olte, the land of historians, to learn archeology, or cross the continent with just one instrument? In the end, they even go to Sylvania to learn magic, and then wander around the world again during vacation.

She is truly a girl who is like the free sea breeze.

– ‘Even this Seonghwangdo, the most magnificent structure ever created by man, is nothing more than a sand castle in front of the strangely shaped rocks of the Lamelin Mountains. Are you satisfied with the sky you see from inside the well? Will you climb the wall ♬’

– ‘Did you know that sublime can also be found in a life of ordinary classes, ordinary socializing with friends, and ordinary love? Did you know that the hug of a loved one can be more valuable than the prayers of millions who look up to you?’

I don’t know how the hell she walks between the buildings, but at night when the world sleeps like that, the girl sang at Clarisse’s window. It was the top floor of Seonghwangdo, which boasts its grand scale.

It is said that the angels, regardless of the will of Telos, fly freely around the world wrapped in colorful wings.

I had never actually seen the apostles of Telos, but just imagining the wings spread out, it is a sacred and sublime figure.

However, Clarisse was firmly attached to the back of Adele, whom she had seen from the window before sleeping.

Perhaps it was only seen by Clarisse. They were a beautiful couple, with a starry night sky in the background.

After that, Clarisse closed her eyes and fell asleep, dreaming.

Lamelen Mountains, Denkin Marsh, Imperial Chloeron, Pastoral Land Pulan, Alchemy Land Cret, Commercial City Oldek, Study Land Sylvania, Great Desert Dresstea, Cohelton Lawless Zone…

He travels through the land of the world he has only seen in books, and eventually meets someone at the end of it.

face is unknown I don’t know your body type or personality. This is because it is completely unknown territory to Clarisse.

At the end, Clarisse hugs someone deeply and goes on a journey that was alone together.

It was a journey full of natural colors, in stark contrast to the pure white life.

She buried her face in the duvet cotton and twisted her body… It was the most bizarre imagination she could ever imagine.

“Uh-huh… I’m out of breath… I need to adjust my speed…”

The test process is straightforward. It wasn’t that difficult at first.

Find various types of magic stones scattered all over the mountain and offer them to the altar at the top.

The magic stone dedicated to the ‘Altar of Alteration’ changes into the form of magic and permeates the owner’s body. Then, the permeated magic will be the proof of the successful applicant.

It is not the magic that is naturally formed in the body, but the magic that is extracted from natural things and has a unique energy. It’s hard to handle as well as I thought it would be, as it’s not my own magic power… but it doesn’t matter. After absorbing that magic power, all you have to do is show it in front of the test tube.

Tanya caught her breath as she crossed through the grass. If you focus your mind on your forehead, you can feel the aftermath of the magical power that permeates around you in an instant.

More than 30 minutes have passed since the start of the test.

The students who ran out for fear that it might be a first-come-first-served basis would have reached the middle of the mountain.

They quickly found the magic stones one by one, and were sprinting towards the top in order to fall behind even a little.

Leading the way were two famous new students from the Ministry of Magic, Aig and Joseph. The two seemed to feel a strange sense of competition with each other.

‘Too many.’

Tanya’s hand as she slowly crossed through the trees was already holding a magic stone.

‘It can’t be all about simply offering the magic stone to the altar. There must be something prepared to make a difference between the students.’

Don’t lose your stamina. Tanya slowly climbed the mountain at her own pace and looked around.

Winter mountains are slippery. If your mind is in a hurry and you jump and fall and injure your body, you are only hurting yourself.

Obviously, there is a high possibility that something is prepared on the way to the top of the mountain. Then there’s no reason to go up to the first batter and step up to the test.

You can go up while maintaining a proper mid-level, and keep an eye on what’s in store for you.

‘The school uniform is a little tight… Huh…’

Tanya did not climb up, but put her hands on her knees and breathed in.

It had been several months since I looked forward to entering Sylvania. As a young girl of the duke family, she always does her best to look good, but her greed for people is endless.

Although Tanya is always concentrating on taking care of her body, it was courageous to order a school uniform that was one size smaller. I don’t have any more weight to lose, but I feel like I’m just being greedy.

Eventually, Tanya sat down on a nearby rock and sighed. I had no confidence in my physical strength.

The right mountain is not very high, but it is full of all kinds of forked roads, so it is a perfect structure to get lost.

However, due to the nature of the mountain, the direction to the top cannot be confused. All you have to do is go up the slope.

I wonder if everyone is finding their way through the tangled paths like a spider’s web, and sometimes screams are heard from the middle of the mountain.

After all, it was clear that something had been prepared.

‘If possible, let’s go to the side where the sound came from… If you hear a scream, it means you’ve been hit by something, so you can check what it is…’

It was when Tanya was organizing her complicated thoughts.

Suddenly, I looked up, and in the distance, at the tip of an old tree, a girl with a dwarf stature was sitting there.

Dark brown hair and red eyes are not in harmony. Two shades that don’t mix like water and oil are awkward.

It looked as if he was somehow injured as he rolled down his socks and scanned his smooth legs.

Thinking it was an injured person, Tanya quickly got up from her seat and walked over to it.

“Are you hurt?”

The appearance of neatly dressed Sylvania school uniform is the same for all freshmen. If it’s her characteristic, the thing that stands out the most is the chestnut hair that curls inward from the waist.

Just by looking at the flowing shine, you can tell that it has been well cared for. It’s no surprise that this Sylvanian son of a wealthy family has stomped his feet.

When Tanya suddenly spoke to her, the other person just stared at Tanya with a blank look.

I was worried about it for a long time, so I walked up to the end, and the reaction was a bit of a letdown. In the beginning, it had to be said that something was missing from the soul, it was a strangely dull feeling.

“If you are injured, I will call the staff.”

“Ah, ah. Me?”

“yes. When you see her legs are rolled up… have you ever sprained them?”

“No, it’s not like that… I’m just going to step on the snow with my bare feet.”

“yes?”

Tanya instantly sensed it. This girl is not a normal human being.

Should it be said that the atmosphere itself is floating, she is a girl who seems to be blown away like cotton candy if she blows away.

“There is so much snow. If you step on it barefoot, I think it will feel good.”

“Go, suddenly? here?”

“Oh, can’t you? Isn’t it common sense?”

That’s not common sense. Even so, Tanya remained silent even though she explained every word.

As if she doesn’t care, she takes off her shoes and puts her white bare feet into her eyes.

And he was shaking his body and moaning as if he was feeling good. It was as if he was the first person to touch the eye.

“Tea, it’s cold…”

“It’s snow…”

“Hey, look at this. My feet are wet…!”

“That’s why I buried my feet in the snow…”

It was ridiculous, so let me tell you the truth, and the girl nodded, saying, “Is it true…?”

Are you a person with mental problems? I had to think about it first.

However, wearing a Sylvanian school uniform means that they are freshmen who have proven their minimum ability.

After Tanya stayed still for a moment, lost in laughter, the girl thought about what was going on and waved her arms.

“Ah, ah, this was… it was on my wish list. It’s like going barefoot in the snow.”

“A wish list…?”

“Yeah, yeah… I wasn’t in a position to do this… I was always looking out the window and imagining things. It is softer than I expected.”

laughter is sacred It was a smile that was not suitable for that age group, and was full of benevolence.

Saying that, he wiped his snow-covered feet. His soles, white as snow, suddenly turned red.

Tanya groaned and cleared her throat, then straightened her back. Then he closed his eyes and spoke softly in a calm voice.

“I wonder if it’s when I’m doing so well during the exam, but… I’m Tanya, the second daughter of the Roth Taylor family. As you can see, we are classmates.”

Usually, even if you introduce just this, most people will bow their heads down.

Sylvania is the land of learning. You can’t expect to be treated with respect, but at least your opponent won’t make a mistake.

Tanya said that and smiled old-fashioned. She is a girl who looks so modest even if she pretends to be. He knew Roth Taylor’s name and secretly expected him to be polite.

But, what should I say, the girl was more like a welcome applause.

“The Roth Taylor family!”

I raised my voice to be happy, but suddenly realized that my voice was too loud, and I quickly straightened my hands.

“Yeah, yes… If it’s the Roth Taylor family… I’m from the outskirts… I’ll have to take an example…? So…”

“That’s Okay. In this Sylvania, where all sorts of people who call me nerds gather, if I’m the only one taking such an example, I’ll look particularly picky.”

“is that so…? That’s right…! Because this is Sylvania!”

The way they put their hands together and nod their heads is naive. Tanya stared at the girl for a moment, then nodded.

It seems that the understanding is almost over. Anyway, it is said that the girl is from the outskirts, so Tanya takes the initiative in the relationship.

“My name is Kylie Ekne. I come from a small city-state called the Principality of Eastern Terrene. I was raised with affection, so I don’t know much about the world. If I do anything wrong, I apologize in advance. I’m not used to this kind of place…”

At those words, Tanya straightened her chest and spoke proudly and proudly.

“Do not worry. Even though I haven’t been to Sylvania for a while, I’ve arrived first, so I’ve been able to understand the atmosphere.”

“okay…? I’m in a position where I really don’t know anything… I tried to figure it out, but there’s a limit to that too.”

“Then you can’t…!”

Tanya spoke in a firm tone.

He looked like he was talking with his arms crossed as if he were giving a sentence.

“Did you say Kylie? Umm… I’m a classmate, can I talk to you…?”

“sure!”

“…”

Saying that it’s so great to let go, with a bright face, as if to let go.

Tanya wondered if there were any kind of kids like this, but she said yes and continued.

“This place in Sylvania is not only overflowing with all kinds of talented people, but it is also a place where there are students from a distant position that should not be treated lightly. If you don’t know ahead of time and be careful, you’re going to end up in big trouble.”

“Yeah, is that so?”

“Of course not!”

Kylie’s attitude didn’t really like Tanya’s seeming lack of tension.

“Then why don’t you pretend to be friendly with someone like the princess or the saint, and then wear a big bag to wake up?!”

“That… is it…?”

“Strictly speaking, me too… no, let’s not talk…”

Even Tanya, who is in front of me right now, is not in a position to receive such a good response, but I didn’t want to give the impression that I was pressing it as if I had to talk about it.

In any case, there is a high possibility that we will see each other often.

When you see Tanya’s sermon with her back straight, she’s not a bad person.

However, there is no sense of crisis itself that you might meet people of higher status than you. If you live your bachelor’s life in this way, you may end up committing a big disrespect one day.

“Keep in mind. Even in Sylvania, where the virtue of learning always comes first, there are people with a noble status that can break even the unwritten rules… Don’t relax! It’s you who gets harmed for nothing, you.”

“Okay… I’ll keep that in mind. You were worried about me.”

“I’m worried.. it’s okay, but…”

Tanya was very frustrated to see Kylie, who maintains a strangely bubbly atmosphere, even if she talks directly like this.

“Miss Tanya is a good person. He cared for me, who was the first time I met him, and gave me sincere advice…”

“Talking like that makes me feel ashamed again… Anyway, it’s not like this here, we should go up quickly! You’re testing!”

“Yeah… I’m testing right now…”

That’s right, that’s right, that bastard’s right!

I’ve met all kinds of good people, but it’s the first time I’ve ever felt so relaxed.

Tanya tied her hair up for a while, then sighed heavily.

“But I don’t have a lot of greed for my grades… If I go to a class like A, I’ll only stand out for nothing…”

“What if you catch your eye… And if you don’t have a desire to learn, why did you come to Sylvania…”

“Certainly… there is a desire for learning itself… but I think it would be more stable to go up slowly from the bottom, right?”

“If you think so, there is nothing to say…”

If I take a deep breath any more, it feels like the ground will go down.

Tanya suddenly felt that she had to leave to do her own thing.

“I don’t think so… I have to climb to the top.”

“okay…”

Kylie nodded her head, and suddenly grabbed Tanya’s hand.

“Then I will go with you.”

“…uh? You said you weren’t interested in exams.”

“Yeah, yes, but…”

Kylie, who continued to talk while crawling, swallowed her saliva and confessed as if she was vomiting.

“Do, it’s the first time I’ve made friends of the same age.”

“…”

Seeing what you’re definitely doing makes you feel like you don’t have friends!

Tanya forcibly resisted the utterance of such harsh words.

“I’m not very interested in the exam… but I’ll help you with Tanya’s exam!”

“…”

“Then our relationship will become more special and stronger…?”

How the hell do you have such a lack of social skills to treat a friend like this?

Just thinking about it makes me shudder. Tanya just stared at Kylie for a while, with her ax eyes open like that.

Even knowing that the person in front of you is a young girl from the Roth Taylor family, are you treating her like this?

Even though I thought that I should be reminded that there is a difference in class… I couldn’t really get a hardened heart because of the strangely flabby atmosphere.

He seems to be a pitiful human in many ways, but I can’t help but think of writing a favoritism.

So, he was a strange person.

*

As the content of this class assignment test is clear, the time limit is also clear.

Although assistant professor Claire wanted to finish it quickly in the first place, there is no way for the student to know anyway.

Even though an hour has passed since the start of the test, the student is not even seen near the summit altar.

Clevius swallowed dry saliva.

I wondered if it would be possible to just stand still and go back after this… I had such a small hope…

“Ahhh! Lord, I thought I was going to die!”

“Ahhh! come!”

A first-year student who broke through the mountainside full of magic equipment and reached the entrance to the altar first.

A boy with reddish, short hair, small stature for a man, and small glasses on the tip of his nose.

Aeg, the heir of the Rokin mercenaries. He was a boy who could be said to be a talented person who could aim for the top rank among the first-year magicians, but…

“Well, then just die…!!!!”

“Queeeek!”

Frightened, Clevius grabbed his scabbard and blew a slash, making a squeaking noise, and he collapsed as it was.

It was a car that had just come out of the chasm of the illusions and was distracted.

“Uhhh…”

Of course, he didn’t hit a vital point or hit a critical hit, but it must have been a daunting blow for a freshman who was exhausted from dealing with illusions.

In front of Aeg, who had lost consciousness and collapsed… Clevius trembled, breathing heavily.

“Child… Wash X… Scary… Why all of a sudden… It pops out and it’s Ji X… Really… Whoo… Whoo… Whoo, whoop…”

It’s sad, but Aig, who was knocked down by a random blow, wasn’t guilty of anything.

It was just a sin to be there.

“Um, it’s unexpected…?

I wonder if it is enough to subdue the students who come up in this way by surprise and subdue them.

From a student’s point of view, it can’t be more unreasonable, but… I wonder if something will happen if I just stick with it as a test of improvisation in an urgent situation.

In fact, it is also true that the business card of Sylvania’s Class A was not so easy. Just thinking about the second-year preparatory class A members, no matter who they are, it is likely that they can handle this level of coping with ease.

With that mental victory, Clevius clenched his fists tightly.

This is a bit sleazy, but…! It’s cowardly and not like a senior, but it’s tiring…! So what to do…! Let’s just go like this…!

– Aww!!

However, as if contrary to Clevius’ expectations, a loud roar was heard from the north entrance of the altar.

…the northern entrance guarded by Annis had been opened.
