Episode 83. 1st semester midterm exam (2)
The midterm exam, which had a lot of talk and difficulties in the original story, started suddenly.
Allotted time is 2 days.
There are 10 exam questions.
Except for the deadline for submission, there are no special rules for the exam.
“I’ll be here for the next 48 hours. Until then, you’re welcome to come and submit.”
Conversation between students is also ok.
It is ok to take the test paper and go out.
Almost all actions that are prohibited in other exams are permitted in this exam.
However, it is important to note that the evaluation method of the midterm exam.
If there are too many ties to exceed the quota for the class, the class will be emptied and the ranks of all members will be demoted.
For example, let’s say everyone has the same score.
Then, not all of them are ranked 1st, but they all fall down to the lowest rank.
Therefore, this test requires not only understanding of the class but also cooperation or deception among classmates.
The best thing to do is to get answers to questions you don’t know from other students and raise your score.
Conversely, in the worst case, there will be many ties and the rating will go down.
“Hey. Let’s gather together.”
“Are you aware of this?”
“I am this…”
At first, the guys who closed and solved the problem like a normal test started talking one by one.
Still, Ludwig did not hold back.
Rather, he didn’t care.
Then some of the students came together and collaborated with each other.
These are the guys who slandered me from behind.
It seemed like they were trying to stifle me with their collective intelligence.
But it won’t be easy.
Only the right number of people should be raised to the maximum score, but among me, which idiot wants to give the answer generously and get a low grade?
It was a structure in which a traitor had no choice but to appear.
Even in the original story, the lower aristocrats, who were forced to fall under them, started a pleasant rebellion and the relationship of trust was broken.
I was looking forward to seeing what it would look like this time around.
‘The difficulty level is… well. Did you go back?’
Once in a while, I tried to solve it. effort.
1 and 2 were really free issues.
Even if you did not fall asleep during class, you can solve both dogs and cows.
But from the 3rd time it started to block.
It wasn’t that I couldn’t solve it, but the real difficulty was concentrated after number 5.
The length of the problem passage is getting shorter, and the difficulty level is increasing exponentially.
“Well, look what.”
“············”.
I glanced at Erica and saw that she was holding the exam paper so I couldn’t see her.
Anyway, I can’t see the magic written on the mana on the test paper, but I want to know what he’s doing.
At that time, you should have done some good security for the drinking party.
It was time to use the tricks Ludwig allowed.
In fact, I was going to write it even if I didn’t allow it.
‘They teach you all the answers.’
As for Erica’s rite, security was a mess.
With a little effort, it was possible to get all the contents out in no time.
In psychological warfare, Erika was no less than an idiot, so the probability that it was a fake to deceive me converged to 0.
If it’s wrong like this, you’re being punished for trying to eat it raw.
Anyway, thanks to Erica, I found the answer to question 5 in no time.
The problem is that I can’t write the answers on the test paper because I don’t have enough magical power…
This was rather beneficial.
If you don’t write it down on the test paper in the first place, you don’t have to worry about someone stealing your answers.
“Huh. Why?”
“······not.”
I tried to steal Iris’s answer as well as cross-validation, but I was quickly blocked.
He poured a huge amount of mana to achieve complete security.
If I used choice and concentration, I could have pierced it, but I decided to give up.
I couldn’t waste my precious ability to cross-validate Erica’s definitive answer.
Iris also didn’t seem to be able to solve it from the 6th time onwards.
Selection and concentration seemed to be more helpful for me to use myself to solve problems.
‘Can we solve it all?’
I have 48 hours left.
‘Choice and Concentration’ can be used for 5 seconds over three days, for a total of 15 seconds.
Of course, there is a high probability of using the ability in the battle magic test tomorrow, so tomorrow may not even have a second left.
In 5 seconds, you can solve almost any problem, so the 3rd problem is almost definitely eating.
The key is whether you can solve the remaining 2 problems or not…
How many perfect scorers are there?
In the original story, I remember the Hurt Locker getting a perfect score and taking the top spot, but I couldn’t remember what the average score was.
No, maybe it’s because I didn’t write.
Of course, the probability of getting a perfect score was extremely small, but the possibility that the group who had gathered to overthrow me would have an accident could not be ruled out.
Once you’re aiming for it, it’s perfect.
Even if you get a perfect score, you may get a dreadful result.
What if it fails and blows up both problems…
You should resign then.
‘Let’s try it.’
Let’s try to get the answer by stealing or solve it ourselves.
As a result of holding the angle and concentrating properly-
‘Well. I can’t.’
It felt like my head was going to explode in an hour.
There wasn’t even a clue that it could ever be solved.
That seems to be the case with the others as well.
Even if I secretly looked at the test papers, there wasn’t even a guy who touched it from the 6th time onwards.
“I’m going to leave.”
“Me too.”
“You don’t have to say it every day.”
Perhaps it was decided that there would be no final decision within today, so they began to rush out.
Erica also seems to have tied her hair and untied it, but she still hasn’t been able to untie the 6th time…
What about Iris…?
Did you solve all 10 times?
“Fufu. Are you surprised?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Pretending not to know. I’ve already solved it.”
“What! Really? You’ve already solved it?!”
I had to frown at Erica’s shouting.
Maybe that’s bluff.
First of all, it must have been written in a way that made it impossible to see.
“If you’ve solved it, how about submitting it. Then the risk of someone copying it would disappear.”
“Huh? Be, you’re copying?”
“············”.
Only then did Erica put her hand on the test paper and concentrate.
Is it now that we are strengthening the security of the drinking ceremony…?
“No. It’s fine. I’m going to do a little more review and submit.”
“You must be confident that you will not be ruined.”
“Let’s try it. Then I’ll go home first.”
Iris rolled up the exam paper and left the exam room with a bright smile.
No matter how much Iris is said to be an excellent wizard, her skill itself is slightly inferior to that of Erica.
Like Erica, she probably could only solve up to 5 times.
There was no need to waste my ability to check blank answers.
By the way, when is Erica going to go?
“············”.
“············”.
The remaining students also left one by one, and all of a sudden, it was just the two of us in the exam room.
The two of us are stuck together in this spacious exam hall…
I thought it was a waste of space and thought about moving, but I decided to quit.
Because I have no reason to move.
If that’s the case, then Erica will
-eww! what! It’s so wide, why are you sitting next to me?
I think I’m going to leave
But that was my mistake.
After an hour and two, Erica stayed by my side.
I deliberately did not concentrate on the exam paper and leaned against the backrest and closed my eyes, so Erica glanced at me.
I can see everything even when I close my eyes, you fool.
“You may go first, Erica.”
“Huh! What do you mean? Do you think I’m waiting for you now?”
“It wasn’t.”
“It’s not! The megalomaniac is real….
“Then how long do you plan on staying?”
“Uh… about an hour?”
“Okay. I’ll go first.”
“Huh?”
I put the test paper in my bag and got up.
It was cute to look up at me with bewildered eyes, unable to stand up.
Are you really going? It was a face that said
“Is there a problem?”
“Ah, no… just.”
He shook his head deeply and, holding back the laughter that was about to leak out, left the examination room.
Soon, there was a loud roar and a rushing sound from behind.
“hahahaha······!”
“Didn’t we have one more hour?”
“I remembered an appointment this evening! I completely forgot what?”
“Don’t let it be like that.”
“To do it like that! Is it real?”
In any case, I’m proud of myself.
For some reason, this tsundere noble lady seemed to escort me even on my way home.
‘Wow. It really is.’
As I concentrated my senses, I felt a few strange outsiders lurking around me.
I didn’t see it in the morning.
Am I just not feeling it?
I went straight to the mansion with a lot of nervousness.
Fortunately, there was no attack, thanks to Erica who was right next to him.
“Thank you.”
“I wonder what I’m thankful for….”
“Can I escort you on the way home too?”
“Aren’t you stupid? Then, what would you do without me on your way back…?”
Only then did she realize that Ji had confessed, so Erica covered my mouth.
Soon, his face turned red, and without a word he jumped back and ran away.
I saw some of you
thanks guy
“Are you here? The exam must have taken a long time.”
“hahahaha. That’s it…”
When I opened the door, Emilia greeted me with a bright face.
Even though I knew it was acting, I felt better when I saw her bright side.
I had no intention of talking about it, but suddenly I was explaining all about what kind of test it was.
oh Could this be Emilia’s way of stealing information?
Even knowing that you suffer
It was also terrifying.
“Wow… that’s a big deal. There’s another battle magic test tomorrow, right?”
“That’s right. Somehow, the exams overlapped.”
“Isn’t this too much of a disadvantage? Aren’t you supposed to delay the battle magic test?”
“hahahaha. I have to bear it.”
“Mr. Heinkel knew all of this and chose a double major…?”
“No. It was a mistake. When I applied for admission, I didn’t know and marked both majors.”
“Mr. Heinkel also makes mistakes.”
“Of course I do.”
What’s so funny? Emilia grinned.
I’m going to stop chatting and now I need to focus.
“I’m going to take the exam now.”
“Yes. Do you want me to let you know when it’s time for the office?”
“No. I’ll sleep on my own.”
“And then, to stay up all night…”
“Do not worry.”
With Emilia who had inflated her cheeks behind her, she headed for the underground training room.
Except for tomorrow’s battle magic test, I plan to stay in this training room all day.
Even if Meteor magic falls on the mansion, at least in this training room, it will be fine.
The safest way to get there was to stay in it all the time of the exam.
Of course, that would be the story on the premise that I was able to solve all the problems myself…
I hope you don’t have to go out to spy on Iris or Erika’s answers.
Let’s get some help from Trienna Einz tomorrow.
Unlike Erica and Iris, the two of them have a pretty trusting relationship with me, so I won’t have to worry about getting me bogged down with lies.
It won’t help the tree, but Einz is called a geek prodigy when it comes to magic, so he might get ideas from unexpected directions.
“For once, number 6…
I still have my pride
Shouldn’t at least one problem be solved without ability or the help of a friend?
I tied my hair and began to concentrate desperately.
…and, of course, there was no result for those three hours.

-To the Deputy Count of Liechtenburg
– I have prepared a product that the deputy countess will be intimidated by. Did you know that Schlus Heinkel is currently taking her midterm exams? According to rumors, it is a three-day exam…
“Hmm.”
It was a letter from Jin the Crow.
Lady Liechtenburg read the letter down with a slightly curious expression.
In short, it was asking whether he would give a quest to ruin Schlus Heinkel’s test.
Lock up Schlus Heinkel somewhere for the duration of the trial and release it.
Or destroy the test paper and disqualify it.
The method Jin suggested was also very different.
“Schlus Heinkel….”
that damn bastard
Last time you charged me for a ridiculous commission.
Knowing that he had a grudge against him, it was clear that Jin had made this suggestion.
“I will not.”
However, the woman ripped the letter and threw it into the oven without a single thought.
It wasn’t because he was afraid of retaliation by Schlus Heinkel.
If it was Jin, not someone who knew how to protect client information like Henderson, he would never be found out.
It was none other than Julia.
Schlusz is really hateful and disgusting, but…
Thinking of Julia, I couldn’t try to kill him anymore.
Because it was the man that Yulia had recently been having nightmares, suffering, and suddenly burst into tears.
Maybe he knew the reason why Julia’s face resembled the girl of Iceburg who had died before.
“I can’t kill you yet…”
At least he couldn’t kill him until he knew the secret.
