Episode 95. 1st semester midterm exam (14)
“I’m late, really. Go quickly.”
“I can’t even move myself, so leave me here? Don’t struggle.”
I ran down the grounds of Imperial University carrying Emilia, who was frowned upon.
As soon as they saw me at the front door, they knew I was in a hurry, so they just let me in.
To be honest, I even thought about whether to run to the test center carrying Emilia like this.
But I thought I would have time to spare, so I decided to put it down in the mansion and go.
“Lie down. It looks like you’re addicted to some sort of paralyzing poison, so don’t overdo it until your body moves.”
“Go, hurry. Stop worrying about me….”
Leaving behind Emilia, who had a worried expression on her face, she ran out.
Two minutes until the end of the test.
There was no time to change clothes.
‘Choice and focus. 1 second for Agility.’
4th second.
I jumped quickly and headed for the exam room.
The last second could not be wasted on agility because there was a separate place to spend it.
Less than a minute left now.
Quang!
As soon as I opened the door, all eyes of the exam hall were focused on me.
They’re all already here.
I wonder if there is anyone other than me who arrives without even the last minute left.
I held back my body trying to stumble and went down the stairs as fast as I could.
Ludwig was looking at me with a slightly annoyed expression.
I was confident that I wouldn’t be surprised if it was Ludwig who hired Jean.
“Is the answer sheet lost?”
“Isn’t that the answer? I didn’t bring anything like that. I’ll submit the answer from now on.”
“10 seconds left until submission deadline.”
“Enough.”
“How are you going to submit it?”
10 seconds.
time was running out
‘Choice and focus. 1 second for magic.’
The test paper for the answer sheet was burnt, but it was fine.
If only mana existed there, it could be an answer sheet anywhere.
Yes, this test site.
It was full of mana and wide enough to write an answer.
The formula for the problem I solved was all in my head.
I closed my eyes tightly, focused only on the flow of magic, and at the same time spread the magic in all directions.
from 1 to 9. At the same time.
‘what is this.’
However, the picture drawn was bizarre.
It was just simple geometric lines and figures, but they merged and overlapped, and then they were making a certain picture.
Green meadows…
If all the recipes in the answer were connected, this landscape painting would have appeared.
As a writer, I did not even dream that such a thing was hidden in the midterm exam of the first semester of elemental magic.
Because I never described it.
no wait a minute.
‘I did.’
There was a time when I wrote a narrative like it was passing by.
Ludwig graded all the submitted answer sheets, and then turned around with an empty smile.
At the time, I was just throwing a piece of cake in order to retrieve it later without thinking about it.
In the end, it was not recovered until the end of the year.
That rice cake was being recovered in a form I never thought possible in this world.
Only then was it explained why some of the problems were a bit daunting.
I wondered why, in magic that considers simple and efficient circuits to be beautiful, the old, complicated and inefficient formulas are required as an answer.
It was purely to complete the painting.
‘sh*t. 10 times….’
However, one side of the landscape painting was black and empty.
This was the place for the answer to question 10, which I couldn’t solve until the end.
Well, at least it was a place with a green field, so I wasn’t too curious or sad.
If Erica is a perfect score, who will be the top in the end?
‘No crazy.’
I had to be sorry.
If Erica gets a perfect score in this exam, she will be in danger of getting the top spot in terms of score distribution.
No, but there’s no way I’ll be able to solve number 10 now…
‘what?’
Then on Ludwig’s desk.
A change occurred in one of the piles of test papers.
Two exam papers with 10 answers written on them.
One of them was that the security of the operation was suddenly messed up.
Startled, I turned back my senses and looked back.
‘That guy…’
Iris was smiling and waving her hand.
Two people who solved problem 10.
That would be Erica and Iris by anyone.
And after predicting this situation, Iris was the only one who deliberately solved the security so that I could steal the answer to question 10.
Because Erica doesn’t have that kind of wit and wit.
Perhaps even now, with his mouth wide open, he is just foolishly admiring the landscapes drawn by this magical flow.
‘Thank you for copying.’
I was a little embarrassed to eat Iris’ favor, but now I can’t help it.
I was not in a position to cover cold or hot water.
Before all of the overcharged magic power was lost, I quickly copied the answer to number 10 and engraved it in the blank space.
After looking at it like this, I guess it’s just the wrong answer.
“ah.”
Ludwig’s flurry came out.
I did just that.
Because I was surprised too.
Filled in the blank was none other than a boy wearing a straw hat and smiling brightly.
Ludwig himself.
Only then did I realize
This was the scene of Ludwig’s childhood hometown.
It is now a land of death that has been devastated by war.
Ironically, it was Ludwig himself who made his hometown a wasteland.
He had to lead and directly command the magic artillery unit, engulfing his hometown with flames.
With his own hands, he had locked his hometown in his memory.
Perhaps Ludwig was convinced that none of his students would ever find this painting.
In fact, in the original story, no one knew about it.
The reason I put the problems together even though I knew I wouldn’t be able to find them…
He must have wanted to see one of the students finish the painting.
I want it to be completed, but I probably didn’t want to show the past of my hometown sealed in my memory to others.
Two conflicting minds.
Perhaps this is the feeling of a criminal who intentionally leaks clues even after committing a perfect crime.
It’s the kind of psychology that you want someone to find out even though you know you shouldn’t be found out.
“It’s the deadline. Go in and sit down.”
“Yes, Professor.”
Ludwig was uncommonly agitated.
I turned my back on Ludwig like that, and squeezed between Iris and Erica and sat down.
Then, Erica’s absurd eyes flew in.
why. what’s the matter
“Good job. With this, we will finish the midterm exam for the first semester. Everyone can go back.”
Ludwig disappeared with a hasty finish.
It was over.
really finished.
The 48-hour midterm exam that felt like a week had finally come to an end.
Soon, the students began to scream and enjoy their freedom.
The guys rushed out of the classroom.
But even in the meantime, Erica and Iris, who sat next to me, didn’t say a word.
As I was about to get out of the chair because the atmosphere wasn’t too bad, Iris’s feet pressed against my instep.
don’t say it
It is also a saint to have this kind of frizzy hair…
It was a little ridiculous.
“What the hell happened?”
Finally, when only the three of us were left in the classroom, Erica tilted her head in a burdened manner.
It’s pretty, it’s too pretty
It was certainly a burdensome beauty to bring her face so close.
“I don’t feel obligated to give an explanation.”
“No, I was worried about you because you came full of blood!”
“Worried? That’s funny. When I die, I’ll be happy.”
“town······.”
He snorted as he looked at Erica who couldn’t deny it and kept her mouth shut.
Last time I had a secret meeting (?) with Liechtenburg.
It was clear that Erica was watching from afar.
In the original story, Erika, the idiot who took all the illusion settings, must have been making an absurd misunderstanding with it.
Of course not in a bad way for me.
In the end, he must have hated me, Schlust somehow.
Because Erica is that kind of guy.
Even in the original story, he liked Hurt Locker, but in the end, he was an idiot who didn’t notice his emotions until the very end.
It’s probably not going to be much different here.
Of course, there’s no Hurt Locker here, so there’s no way you’ll ever fall in love with someone.
“No, though…. I’ve been waiting for you today.”
“Huh. Are you going to escort me today?”
“Oh, no? Just! On the way! I was passing by the president’s dormitory, and I was wondering if the roads would overlap! Just one minute? Or 30 seconds? It was just waiting for you to tie your shoelaces?”
“············”.
I wonder if Erica was hot, and she fanned my face hard and babbled around.
If Erica said it was about a minute, it would have been about an hour or so.
I was a little sorry that I almost ruined the exam because of me.
no that’s bullsh*t
I’m not really sorry at all.
“Ugh… Erika. I didn’t know you were escorting Schlusus during the midterm.”
“Well, it’s not!”
“Fufu. Good job.”
“No…”
Erica looked through my bloody clothes and said in a sagging voice.
It seemed that he had forgotten that he was not an escort.
“No. It was because of Erica that I was able to submit it so narrowly. If it hadn’t been for the escort, Schlust wouldn’t be here now.”
“Is that so?”
After all, like a fluttering bird, he immediately reacted against Iris’s words.
It wasn’t wrong.
If you look at the completion of the submissions so narrowly, there is a high possibility that if you had been attacked at any moment during the midterm exam period, you probably would not have submitted it on time.
“Heh, heh heh! So! Schluss Heinkel? Do you have anything to say to me?”
“Ehh. Thank you.”
“Eh, huh? The attitude of gratitude now is-“
“However, it wasn’t like he never did an escort.”
“Ah. That’s right. Because it wasn’t an escort?”
“Then what should I be grateful for?”
“Huh? Huh? Is that? No, wait a minute. That’s an escort… No. No. Huh?”
Erica broke down.
When I turned my head to look at the main culprit, I saw an innocent, no, ‘innocent, innocent-looking’ smile.
After all, they were childhood friends, so it seems that they knew how to break up Erica.
“Shulus.”
“Why but.”
“Is there nothing you can do for me?”
“············”.
Iris stretched out her waist and pushed out her chest, and said while putting one hand on her chest.
It’s very lively…
But I had no intention of expressing my gratitude for this.
Strictly speaking, Iris didn’t give me the answer, I stole it.
I’ve never done this out of pity because of something that happened before.
Drooa…
Without a word, I pushed the chair and stood up.
“I’ll have to go. The attendant is waiting for me.”
“It’s dripping with honey.”
“What?”
“It’s nothing. Let’s go. If you can.”
Iris kept saying strange things.
I ignored Iris and tried to take a step-
“ah.”
I lost my focus and leaned forward.
When you see that your whole body doesn’t listen…
sh*t. It was magic exhaustion.
But I feel like I’ve seen a similar scene like this somewhere…
width.
“Hah.”
I felt a soft touch on my face.
A soft touch enveloped me.
Sweet flesh too.
“I knew it was going to be like this.”
His mouth was buried in the flesh, and his voice sounded strange.
By the way, Iris seems to shiver every time she moves her mouth. Is it because of her mood?
why are you here
“I do not know.”
“Hey, hey, Iris! What the hell are you doing now!”
“under······.”
He sighed at the sound of a loud voice coming from behind.
It was just that the situation itself was so tiring.
I felt like I wanted to sleep like this.
