11 – Exam #011 (6)
“I’ll tell you in advance, but I’m against it.”
The word came from the pride of the center that adhered to neutrality, neither the right nor the left.
Not only Vivian, but also Marianne, who was against John Doe’s admission, looked at Pride with her unexpected eyes, and he looked up at her ceiling as if thinking of something about her.
“That might be dangerous in a different sense than the professors said.”
“Is it because you hid your name? When I explained the reason, the magic didn’t activate.”
“Yes. After that, the detection magic has only been activated once.”
That’s right, the only thing the magic activated after that was ‘I’m sorry’. Marianne asked as Vivian smiled, perhaps remembering that time.
“Then what is the problem?”
“He’s hiding something. I’m not talking about hiding your favorite weapon. He’s hiding something else. He probably noticed that he was also using magic to determine the truth.”
“…… That was our mistake.”
I didn’t expect a lie to come out from the beginning, so my expression twisted at the moment.
“The first time I felt a sense of incongruity was when I was asked about my motivation for applying.”
“… He was euphemistically dodging an answer.”
“Yes, that trivial question he avoided by answering it euphemistically, for a purpose we could not reveal.”
There are three main types of students who want to enter Sage Academy.
Some enter the academy to make friends with the nobility of each country, while others cross the threshold of the academy to learn and become stronger.
Or there are some jerks who go without any purpose and just because their parents tell them to go, but he’s not included in any of these three.
“However, I am inexperienced as a spy. I could see that he was flustered by not being able to answer right away.”
“Right! Besides, if they were going to send as spies, they would have sent inland people who were less suspicious, not Asians!”
Pride shook his head in the midst of a miraculous scene where the two of them agreed on a rare occasion.
“What if it was sent for that purpose? How many people would suspect an immature and high-profile race to be a spy? Besides, his brain works just fine. He noticed subtle changes in facial expressions and magic with mana in the air, and improvised an answer that was not affected by magic.”
“…… Huh?”
“Vivian, you watched his sparring, right? What about his powers?”
“Uh… At least on this continent, wouldn’t there be a boy his age who could beat him?”
“Does it stop at the student level?”
“No, among the professors, there is probably no human being who can subdue him except for me and that shorty.”
“…… Who is shorty?”
“What a short-legged b*tch. Aren’t you looking in the mirror?”
Miraculously, they seemed to agree, but Pride sighed when he saw the two of them growling over something trivial.
“Since the armed forces are also outstanding, if a terrorist attack is launched against the students, it will spread out of control. I am against it.”
“Okay….”
No matter how much Vivian was considered a special professor among professors, there was nothing she could do if Pride and Marianne were her opponents.
I wanted the result to be 2:1 like this, but the situation was turned upside down by Marianne’s unexpected words.
“The original woman agrees to his acceptance.”
At first, Pride wondered if he had heard something wrong. That Marianne, who opposes and sees whatever Vivian is doing, agrees with her?
“…… Why?”
“I will tell you in advance for fear of misunderstanding, but she, like her deputy dean, recognizes that he is a risk factor.”
“Then why do you agree?”
“Because it is a dangerous molecule. Eliminating him here does not mean that the organization that may be behind him will disappear. The savage who tried to infiltrate the academy will not disappear either.”
“Hey, he’s not a savage, he’s an Asian.”
“Noisy! It’s not like I’m talking about that kind of thing right now!”
Missing him here doesn’t make the academy’s threat go away.
Rather, they only hid themselves deeper into the darkness of this city, out of reach of the academy.
“… I’d rather keep it by my side and keep an eye on it.”
“If you compare it to magic, it is in a state of danger that is on the verge of detonation. If so, wouldn’t it be better to stay by your side and keep an eye on it?”
“Right! And since there is no physical evidence that he is a spy yet, isn’t it a waste to just reject a talented person like that?”
“Ummm….”
With this, the voting result was 2:1, including Vivian, who was originally in favor, and if it was Pride, the vice-president, he could have ignored it with the authority of the vice-president, but he couldn’t do that unless he gave a reasonable reason.
“If the opinions of the two of you are the same, then I should give up my stubbornness.”
John also passed the 3rd exam.
******
From noble mtl dot com
“John Doe, passed.”
“Whoa….”
When I went back to my room and heard the news of my acceptance, I let out a sigh of relief.
I had no choice but to leave this to chance, and when I failed, the penalty was practically death, so I was truly heartbroken.
“Then I’ll leave.”
“Yes, see you at the entrance ceremony.”
[Surprise quest cleared!]
[Success reward quick slot system is released.]
Previously, the achievement system was released, but this time, the quick slot system was released.
It’s only been a day since the achievement was released, and I couldn’t properly investigate it because of the anxiety of the interview.
It’s a sad party with no one to congratulate, but anyway, I finally passed the academy, so I feel like I want to eat something special today.
No matter what you eat in that abandoned house, the food will only taste bad, so let’s rent a nice inn and sleep there.
I don’t have a lot of pockets, but I was able to indulge in extravagance just for today.
After buying a lot of seasoned chicken legs and french fries at the restaurant, I threw myself on the soft bed holding the food as soon as I entered the inn room.
To be honest, if you ask me if this inn is a good room, I would tilt my head, but it was much better than my house. At least there was a bed here.
Lying on the bed, he took out a chicken leg he had bought and tore it apart, looking at the ceiling.
“Achievements.”
[Achievement]
[Achieved Achievements]
[Unachieved achievements]
I hadn’t heard anything about achievements from my father, but when I thought about the meaning of the word achievement, I had a hunch that it was probably something similar to a quest.
First of all, I clicked on Achievements at the top, but nothing appeared.
‘… Hey, I just got it yesterday, but it’s even weirder if there’s an achievement I’ve achieved.’
Conversely, when I clicked on an achievement that I hadn’t achieved, a list appeared with numerous beeps. Looking at the list, I realized that my hunch was correct.
[Defeat 100 beast-type monsters.]
[Defeat 100 humanoid monsters.]
[Defeat 100 irregular monsters.]
[Defeat 10 humans.]
[10 Humans with a sword….]
Most of the achievements involved defeating something, but there were other achievements with certain conditions, such as defeating them with a sword or spear.
‘What will happen if I fight with a spear and knock it down with a fist?’
Since the focus was on defeating, I don’t think there will be a chance to climb both, but I tried it and nothing bad happened.
First of all, let’s press the achievement of defeating 100 beast-type monsters, and the reward will appear at the time of achievement along with details.
[Level limit 40 or higher.]
[Defeat 100 monsters of the appropriate level (own level ±5).]
[Accomplishment Reward] [Title Veteran Beast Hunter.] [Veteran Beast Hunter’s Weapon Box.]
“Um….”
The other achievements had the same content and the same rewards, so I tried hunting humans instead of hunting monsters, but the rewards were slightly different, but the content was the same.
All of the achievements had a level limit, but this is the only one so far, but as you level up, new achievements appear.
There are many dungeons around here due to the influence of the sealed Demon God, so I decided to solve the achievement later, and now it was time to look at the remaining system, Quick Slot.
“Quickslot.”
1. [Waiting for registration]
2. [Waiting for registration]
3. [Waiting for registration]
4. [Unavailable]
5. [Unavailable]
6. [Unavailable]
… I have to say this is complicated, but to be honest, I have no idea what it is.
Unlike achievements, I couldn’t guess what kind of system it was by name, so I clicked on slot number 1 window that said waiting for registration.
[Inventory]
Then he was immediately connected to the inventory, and the question only deepened.
I wanted to do something for now, so when I selected my favorite window, I returned to the quickslot again.
1. [Steel long spear.]
“Has it changed?”
I opened the inventory to see if it had been moved here from the inventory, but the long spear remained in the inventory.
‘… I don’t understand the meaning more and more.’
My father will teach me things like this when he has time to talk about pink hair…. No, I taught you, but did I just forget about it because I just spilled it in one ear?
Either way, the past cannot be helped. Once at the point of grabbing a straw, like when summoning the inventory or status window, he shouted once.
“Huh?”
Then, the long spear that was clearly in my inventory was in my hand before I knew it.
It didn’t just appear in my hand, it was held in the way I usually hold it, as if I had been holding this long spear from the beginning.
‘No. 1.’
Inventory and status windows appeared just by thinking, so I tried to see if this was the case, and the long spear that appeared in my hand disappeared again.
‘No. 1.’
Let’s memorize it again, and I thought as I saw the long spear in my hand and the magic-like sight of the object disappearing and reappearing just by thinking.
‘How many times more useful than a hermit’s mask?’
