46 Second Test with Fire Promotion (2)
In the second test, we see if we can go into practice as a graduate.
For this reason, the test is conducted in a format close to actual practice.
“What are these people?”
“I don’t think it’s the instructor… … .”
Students who did not understand the situation were perplexed.
What the instructors brought out now was a man with chains all over his body.
His clothes were tattered, and his hair and beard were messy.
It would be embarrassing to say that such people are test tubes.
“Those who have come forward now… They are demon cultists who have been taken prisoner.”
“… … !”

Magician.Hearing the name, several students took their breath away.
The term “Magyo-do” refers to the members of the ‘Heukcheon-Magyo’, a religious group with a long history.
Since the Black Heavenly Demons have been hiding all over the Empire and committing all kinds of evil, it can be said to be the enemy of the Empire’s society.
“Why are the magicians here… … .”
“Wait, the magicians are test tubes… … .”
President Aldbout spoke again in front of the students at the loudspeaker.
“The content of the second test is to fight against the ‘Combat Priests’ of the Magyo who were captured as prisoners of war.”
“… … !”
Combat priest is a term that refers to the ‘Graduate’ combatants of the magic religion.
If he can use swordsmanship, he is appointed as a combat priest.
Generally speaking, when it comes to combat priests, they are of the lower grades at the beginning of the grade, and the intermediate grades and higher grades are called by other names.
“A combat priest who becomes an examiner is given a wooden sword. They will use their sword to fight you.”
“Ugh… … !”
Now the students began to feel fear rather than surprise.
Although it is a wooden sword, if you use a sword, it has enough killing power.
Otherwise, you could lose your life.
“So, you too, use your sword to defeat them. It’s a battle-style battle, so it doesn’t matter if you take your life.”
“… … !”
It’s different from previous matches.
The faces of the students who understood that fact stiffened.
Chloe, who was next to me, also had a nervous expression on her face.
“I already knew the information that it was a battle-style match, but… I didn’t know that the magician was the opponent. I’ve heard that you have to fight monsters or face instructors.”
“It must have changed this time.”
Looking at the other classes, the successors of the 6th great swordsmanship did not change much.
It seems they already have all the information.
“You can kill someone, or are you burdened by the fact that you can die?”
Facing the buzzing students, Aldbout asked a question.
“Get those cowards out of the academy right now.”
“… … !”
“The Lichtenauer Swordsmanship Academy is a place to train the sword that protects this empire! A sword afraid of getting blood is nothing more than a useless ornament!”
Aldbout’s shrill voice resounded through the auditorium.
“Only young people who will follow the will of the Iron-Blood Swordsmanship and cut down the enemies of the Empire are qualified to learn swordsmanship at this academy! Those who don’t deserve it, get out now!”
No one objected.
In front of the silent students, Aldbout once again raised his voice.
“Then I will start the test! Who is the first applicant?”
When no one was willing to step out.
There was a man walking out from among the students in blue ties.
“I will support you, President.”
The blue-haired male student who applied first without noticing anyone.
It was Heinrich Agrippa.
“This is Heinrich Agrippa from Class Blue 2.”
“good night! Come out!”
Aldbout beckoned, and the instructor brought one of the Demonic War Priests.
And I had them kneel in the center of the space in front of the podium.
“Do not move.”
“Ugh… … !”
👌👌👌👌👌
The chains that bound the body of the combat priest were released by themselves.
He got up with a look still in disbelief.
“really… If I win, will you set me free?”
“Yes.”
The instructor held out a wooden sword to him.
The Battle Priest grabbed the wooden sword and swung it a few times, then glanced around.
“… … .”
There are professors and instructors all around.
There are even climax grades.
If you do anything useless here, your neck will just run off.
“Whew… … .”
He took a deep breath and looked at Heinrich.
Then he smiled bitterly.
“I guess I’m lucky to be able to find freedom by defeating one of these little bastards.”
“… … .”
Heinrich didn’t respond.
I just stood in the position designated by the instructor, held up my sword and took a stance.
“Baby, don’t worry. I will not take your life.”
“… … .”
“When you say mage, you think like a demon without blood or tears, but… We do not take children’s lives unnecessarily.”
As the Battle Priest spoke to Heinrich, the instructor next to him cautioned him.
“Avoid unnecessary chatter.”
“Heh, I see.”
He was relaxing little by little while chatting.
Now that his body was relaxed to some extent, he took a stance with a wooden sword.
“Ugh… … !”
Whoa!
A red sword was deployed on the wooden sword.
Seeing the clear light, the students were agitated.
“It’s a red sword… … !”
“Still, we never fall behind in the swordsmanship of the instructors!”
“How the hell is that… … !”
Among the masters who are ignorant of the world, there are those who know that only the Academy can achieve the Grade Eight.
But not necessarily.
Even if you don’t receive an Elixir from the Academy, if you can acquire enough magical power, you can reach the state of Graduate.
but… Apparently, magic is magic, so she doesn’t get magic power in the normal way.
“Heh, kids don’t have much knowledge. You are surprised by such a sword.”
The Battle Priest snorted and looked at Heinrich.
“Come on, let’s jump in first. Please give me your advance.”
“… … .”
Heinrich was still speechless.
He just looked at the instructor with cold eyes.
“Oh, then… Start!”
Realizing that Heinrich was urging with his eyes, the instructor hurriedly declared the start of the match.
At that moment, Heinrich disappeared.
“uh… … ?”
A powerless voice came out of the battle priest’s mouth.
Now he had a look of disbelief.
“How did this… … .”
He said nothing more.
It was because his chest was bleeding and he collapsed on the spot.
Behind him stood Heinrich with a wooden sword.
“Bar, did you just see?!”
“Did it move at an invisible speed and kill it in one hit?!”
The students were amazed.
The Battle Priest was relaxed and yielded the first attack, but Heinrich took his life with a merciless blow.
Her blue hair was fluttering in the wind, but not a drop of sweat fell from her forehead.
“… … .”
Heinrich looked at the instructor once more, and the instructor raised his hand hurriedly.
“Ha, the victory of Heinrich Agrippa! I congratulate you on passing the second exam!”
“Wow… … !”
A shout broke out among the students.
Everyone was cheering for Heinrich, who passed the second test first with great skills.
The fact that the opponent was a combat priest of the evil magician must also have played a part.
“Wonderful, Heinrich Agrippa.”
“Thank you, Principal.”
“I am allowed to advance. Please wait in the seat over there.”
After bowing and bowing, Heinrich moved under the guidance of the instructor.
Then, he turned his head and looked at me.
“… … .”
Like ‘how are you? I passed first.’
There wouldn’t be much of a difference anyway, but it seems to be an important part for Heinrich.
If I had passed first, Heinrich would have been hurt.
“Then who is the second challenger?”
Aldbout raised his voice.
Then several students turned their heads and looked in one direction.
That was the direction I was going.
‘I can’t help it.’
If I had to pick two of the most outstanding students at the academy right now, it would be me and Heinrich.
Heinrich passed first, so I think it’s my turn next.
“What are you going to do, Ernas-sama?”
“You have to live up to your expectations.”
While responding to Chloe, she stepped forward.
“I wish you good luck.”
“If it’s Ernas-sama, it will pass easily.”
“cheer up!”
Serine, Schmidt, and Viola’s voices could be heard from behind.
“Ernas Landsstein of Black Class 6, I will challenge the second exam.”
“Well, good!”
Aldbout nodded and raised his voice.
“Bring the next battle priest out!”
“yes!”
The instructor brought a new combat priest out.
The corpse of the battle priest who had been killed by Heinrich had already been removed.
“… … .”
He was a large man.
His clothes were torn a lot, and he could tell that his forearms were thick.
But he was staggering as if he couldn’t walk properly.
“Why are you walking like that?”
“Are you unwell?”
“If it’s like that, I think I might be able to take it down too.”
The students were babbling.
But immediately the instructor’s sharp voice was heard.
“Carlyle! Don’t play around!”
“Kuh-huh, don’t do that, Instructor Nari.”
A battle priest called Carlyle suddenly straightened his posture.
Up until now, he had a crouched posture, but when he straightened his posture, he looked much taller.
“It’s all a strategy.”
“Don’t be fooled!”
In the end, Carlyle started walking as if she was fine.
Seeing this, the students were perplexed.
“Did you deliberately pretend to be unwell?”
“Why would you do that… … ?”
“It must have been to distract Ernas. If you win here, you will find freedom.”
Carlyle stood in the position, receiving the students’ gaze.
After the chain was released and the wooden sword was given, he relaxed lightly.
“Please take good care of me, noble master.”
Seeing me in my position, Carlyle smiled sullenly.
“If the master yields just once, I can save my life. So please have mercy on me.”
“… … .”
“Heh heh, all the masters here are silent.”

Mumbling like that, Carlyle looked down at the floor.There remained the bloodstains of the battle priest who had fallen earlier.
“Kaak!”
Here, Carlyle showed a travesty.
He spit on the bloodstains.
It was like an insult to the death of a colleague.
“Looks like a man with a bad personality.”
“A guy like that doesn’t have much skill.”
“Ernas-sama! Just throw it out!”

Many students expressed their hostility toward Carlyle.But I was just staring at Carlyle with cold eyes.
“Hmm… … .”
Confirming that there was no reaction, Carlyle took a stance.
I also confronted Carlyle as I posed.
“then… Start!”
As soon as the instructor shouted, Carlyle moved.
Carlyle’s wooden sword had already developed a red sword.
“Ugh!”
Koo!
The sword and the sword collided, and a roar was generated.
Each other’s momentum is a whistle.
We ended up fighting face to face.
“Carlyle.”
And I spoke in a cold voice.
“Who planted you here?”
“… … .”
Hearing my question, a cruel smile appeared on Carlyle’s lips.
and… Red magic began to flow from Carlyle’s whole body.
