123 – Midterm exam study and the prophecy of the dragon clan
Bench near the academy garden.
Evan was sitting on the bench with his eyes closed. What comes to mind is Cynthia’s class, Basic Swordsmanship. One.
The time when colorful flowers fall and trees turn green is the time of midterm exams.
Evan was studying for an exam to win a bet with Dean Noah. Getting top marks from the two professors who blacklisted Evan. The reward is access to all facilities at the academy.
The classes Evan is taking are 『Cynthia’s Basic Swordsmanship 1, Nata’s Physical Training, and Lily’s Understanding Magic 1』. You just need to get the highest score in two of the classes.
Nata’s class only required using your body well, and Lily’s class was so easy for Evan that he only had to think about Cynthia’s class.
“Senior Evan.”
A neutral voice that wakes Evan from his thoughts.
Evan ignored it and resumed Cynthia’s class. Although he didn’t really organize anything in his notebook, Evan studied just by organizing what was in his head.
After a while, the presence in front of Evan did not disappear until he finished thinking.
Evan felt annoyed. Is he a bother again?
When Evan opened his eyes, there was a boy with curly hair in front of him.
Joachim Innin Lichtenauer, disciple of the divine sword Altair. Joachim was waiting for Evan with his fighting spirit burning.
“Senior Evan, I would like to spar with you.”
Joachim immediately challenged Evan to a sparring match. Evan, a senior who is hard to see at Dotong Academy. Evan had not been at the academy recently due to an outside mission, so Joachim was anxious.
I wanted to spar with Evan… Because it’s not visible at the Academy. In Joachim’s opinion, the strongest among the students was Evan.
“Do you want to spar with me?”
“Yes.”
Evan was unexpected. He never thought he would be offered a sparring match by a student his age. As rumors spread about the North’s major, no one came to ask Evan to spar.
Evan looked Joachim up and down. Is his skill level two levels below Sias? Still, it’s excellent. Is he truly a disciple of the Divine Sword?
But Evan was not excited. He is a very weak child to the current Evan. Although he is curious about Shingeom’s swordsmanship, he wants to see it directly from Shingeom. Evan knew Joachim’s face well.
“It doesn’t sound very appealing.”
“Ugh… What do you wish for! Money? Excellent weapon? A good elixir for magical power? “I’ll give you anything!”
“I’m not interested.”
Joachim’s face opened. I never thought I would be rejected like this.
Evan seemed to have no interest in Joachim. As if he was too weak to fight him.
“Is it because my skills are weak!?”
Evan nodded his head. From Evan’s perspective, Joachim was a child who had a lot to hide.
Joachim’s body is thin and lacks strength, but he dresses like a man. Evan noticed that Joachim was a woman.
I don’t know why they hide their gender, but if a woman is forced to pretend to be a man, she won’t be able to show off her skills.
Wouldn’t it be more appropriate for Joachim to take off the chest compression bandage that was tightly wrapped around Joachim’s chest and pick up a thinner sword suitable for a woman?
Joachim is already weak, but he even hides his weak skills.
“Let’s first take off the burden on our chest and talk about it. “Isn’t there some iron armor for women?”
It would be easier to move if you wore women’s iron armor.
At Evan’s words, Joachim’s face became so red that he could no longer blush. Who would have thought that senior Evan would see through his secret.
This was figured out thanks to Evan’s excellent observation skills.
“Uh…… How… this…… “The secret is.”
“I am not the type of person to talk a lot.”
Evan says he will hide Joachim’s gender. Joachim was slightly relieved.
“Huh… ….”
Joachim’s red face subsides a little. But the shame remained the same. This feeling as if his true self was exposed. Joachim felt like he was standing naked in front of people.
Reflexively hiding your breasts with your hands.
Evan did not understand.
“There are many female knights at the academy, so is there any reason to pretend to be male?”
“…… There is a strong perception in the world that it is better for Altair’s disciple to be male.”
Although it is an empire with many female knights, there is a strong preference for men in some areas. The perception that when choosing an article, a man is better than a woman.
Men are physically stronger than women.
Evan issued an order to celebrate the guests.
“If you’ve said everything you want to say, let’s go.”
“…… “Are you sure you can’t?”
“You are persistent.”
“I’m sorry.”
Joachim bowed. A look of earnestness.
Evan shook her head. He had no intention of giving in.
“Become stronger.”
Evan said to Joachim.
I didn’t say this for nothing.
Although he did not know that Joachim was a woman, Evan knew Joachim from his previous life.
『Joachim, the last defender of the empire.』
That’s what he was called. He has never met in person. By the time Evan came down the mountain, he had been dead for a long time. The one who protected the empire for a long time after the death of the divine sword Altair.
Joachim, the man who finally defended the capital despite the witches’ total offensive.
That was the Joachim that Evan knew in his previous life.
With Joachim like that, he will get stronger quickly.
Joachim lifted his hips with a look of disappointment on his face, but soon regained his strength.
“…… “I will definitely become stronger and take on the challenge.”
“I’m looking forward to it.”

Life has been difficult for Basne, a spy from the Kingdom of Heresy, or the Holy Kingdom.
This is because the support money from Seongguk was cut off. I heard that Hadria, one of the six apostles, died, and that’s why the western imperial army and the Holy Kingdom are fighting.
From Noble mtl dot com
Growl~
Basne grabbed his hungry stomach. I’ve been starving for two days already. Why are the academy’s tuition and textbook fees so expensive? … It was difficult to eat a proper meal with Basne’s limited pockets.
“Hello, Basne. “Are you listening well in class?”
On Academy Street, Selene’s friends pretended to know Basne. These seniors are very difficult for Basne.
Basne bowed his back with a stiff expression.
“Yes, yes…” That’s right.”
“Fuha! Vasne is like some kind of magic machine? Yes, Basne. Anyway, if you have any trouble, let me know.”
Good seniors who tell us to speak up if something is difficult.
At that moment, Basne felt the urge to lend me some money, but she held back.
If I borrow money, I have no confidence in repaying it. Should I get a part-time job? ….
“Do you need money?”
Selene’s friends were quick to notice. From Basne’s scruffy behavior, I could tell that she was living a difficult life.
“Well, that…” ….”
Basne suffered from strong temptation. It’s hard to make a living these days, so should I ask for money? Temptation.
Beepbit!
“Okay, 1 million points. Sent to your device? If you appreciate it, please pass on Selene’s words to Evan. “You’re in the same class as Evan, so you’ll be closer, right?”
Selene’s friend sent 1 million points to Basne’s device account. Selene’s friend who shows the device screen and displays the transmission results.
Basne felt grateful and puzzled at the same time.
Evan, a first-year student like Basne who repeated a grade. Among first-year students, Evan was stigmatized as a feared being. He appears to be a prime suspect in the heresy fireworks incident…….
Of course, Evan didn’t actually repeat a grade.
Are you telling Evan to say good things about Selene?
Basne became tense. The 1 million points recorded in Basne’s device account appear brightly.
“Thank you!”
Basne first bowed vigorously.
“Oh, what a surprise! “What, Basne, you know how to say hello naturally.”
“Um…… “It becomes natural because I get paid.”
Selene’s friends were shocked.

Evan sat on a bench near the library and looked through a book. All in-depth books related to the class. We are trying to prepare for the possibility that a problem of preventing 100 points may arise. Time to finish studying for the exam.
Nata, who had finished class, sat next to Evan, sobbing.
“Huh… I have no energy these days. Evan, are you studying for the midterm?”
“Yes.”
“Then you said you should get the highest grade in my lecture.”
Nata remembered what Evan said.
Nata smiled sinisterly.
“Huh… “If Evan shows sincerity, I might give him the highest score.”
Nata unbuttoned her baggy jersey, revealing her sweaty side chest. Nata’s violent body clinging to the tunic.
Evan lifted the back of her pen and stuck it between Nata’s eyes.
“Sigh!”
“You will get the highest score based on your skills, so don’t do anything useless.”
“Ugh… It’s the head. “It’s a joke, a joke.”
Nata sits upright, gently touching her forehead.
Nata grunted and put her jersey back on. An aggressive appearance that was not seen by anyone after coming to the empire. But Nata did it to Evan.
Because I was curious about Evan’s reaction.
“Actually, it might not be a joke?”
Nata grins and jokes again. Actually, Nata was only half sincere. If you’re a strong and excellent swordsman like Evan, wouldn’t it be okay to have a baby?
Yeti women are careful to go to the end if they like a man.
Nata’s body heated up whenever she saw Evan.
“hehehe… “Hmm, ugh.”
Nata gets closer to Evan, almost touching his arms.
Anyone would think that Nata is seducing Evan.
“Professor Nata!”
Professor Cynthia’s angry voice came out.
Cynthia was returning to the professor’s research building when she saw Nata and Evan close together and ran over.
Cynthia stood in front of Nata, panting and panting.
“Huh, huh… “What are you doing to a student who is studying hard for a test!?”
“What are you doing~ Professor Cynthia? “My friend studied hard, so I tried to teach him if he didn’t know something.”
Nata answers slyly.
Cynthia was upset. She hasn’t liked Nata since the last fight with Hadria…….
Evan read books no matter what people around him said.
As long as she didn’t touch Evan, she was Evan who could focus in any environment.
Cynthia, who had been arguing with Nata, glared at Nata and turned her gaze to Evan.
Evan is looking at an advanced swordsmanship book.
Could it be that he is studying Cynthia’s class?
Cynthia quietly looked around at her surroundings and cleared her throat.
To sound as soft as possible.
Cynthia whispered into her Evan’s ear.
“Evan…… “If Evan wants, I can give him the highest score even if he gives a blank paper.”
Cynthia wants to manipulate test scores.
Evan could not ignore these words.
“…… “I’ll do it with my skills, so don’t ever do that.”
Evan said as she sighed.
The professors said they would not hesitate to deny anything to win Evan’s favor.

Where dragons live, primordial mountain ranges.
Lonely clouds float at the end of the mountain peaks of the mountain range. Dragons could not fly here, on the steep cliffs of mountain ranges.
Because only permitted dragons could climb to the top of the mountain.
If you go a little further into the sky at the end of the mountain, that is, at the top of the mountain range… A pure white palace was floating.
『Anshar, Palace in the Sky』.
The most important building of the dragons and Bashmu’s mental world.
It was a place where the first dragon, Bashmu, always materialized into an imaginary world.
Vashmu lay down in boredom in Anshar, the palace in the sky. Bashmu, a huge dragon that occupies half of the palace.
Near Bashmu, Eshumesha, a fortuneteller and elder dragon, was performing colorful prophetic magic.
The movement of magical power so dense that it almost takes your breath away. It was as if time had stopped and the magic power had been compressed and transformed into a different substance.
If there were humans here, their bodies would explode and die right away, but Vashumu and Eshumesha were relaxed. Because they were better dragons than anyone else.
Eshmesha, a pure white dragon with a veil hanging over both horns and a blunt smile.
Eshmesha gave a prophecy to Bashmu, the king of dragons.
-Your Majesty… Your time will soon end. The seven-colored child will become the greatest of the dragon race, and his greatness will surpass your majesty.
Kugugu… ….
Anshar, the palace in the sky, was shaken. Eshmesha’s prophecy went against Bashmu’s wishes. Bashmu’s solid image world was not lifted, but Bashmu’s two old eyebrows twitched.
-…… Didn’t the previous prophecy say that there was no dragon that could surpass Jim?
Vashmu remembers Eshmesha’s prophecy.
Eshmesha’s prophecy is absolutely true.
Eshmesha’s prophecy from just a year ago was that no dragon would surpass Bashmu in his lifetime.
Eshmesha answered with an unfeeling expression.
-It was like that originally, but fate changed. Even though the seven-colored child is only a baby dragon, he has already imitated the world of images twice.
-Imitated the world of imagination?
-That’s right, Your Majesty.
Eshmesha’s eyes saw Maya transformed into a small human girl. She is Maya, who created the golden scales and sword.
Bashmu could not understand.
-Are you saying that a child like that suddenly appears?
-…… It seems like the child’s teacher was involved… That part is not visible. As if a strong wizard was hiding it…….
Eshmesha frowns and slurs his words.
Eshu Mesha could no longer read her future.
-It was done.
Vashmu stopped Eshmesha’s prophecy. What is important is that a dragon has emerged that can surpass Bashmu.
Bashmu asked.
-Is that child involved in Jim’s death?
Bashmu is obsessed with his own death.
The reason Bashmu listened to the prophecy was to know about his own death.
Prophet Eshmesha did not deny this.
-That may be so.
-……….
Bashmu felt uncomfortable.
A seven-colored child could kill oneself.
Bashmu has committed countless evil deeds to avoid his own death. He had so much blood on his hands that he couldn’t keep it all in his memory.
Bashmu killed all the beings that threatened or threatened him. It is the history of Bashmu, a very old tradition. Bashumu swallowed his wrath and called the highest elder among the 11 elders of the dragon race.
-Monsieur Mahé.
Kugugugugugugu… ….
A seven-colored old dragon soaring through the clouds.
Elder Mushmahe.
The huge dragon Musumahe flew up near the Sky Palace and lowered his long neck.
-Yes, Your Majesty.
-Recognize and capture the seven-colored child.
Vashmu gave orders to Mushmahe. To capture the seven-colored child. Bashmu was obsessed with the dragon children.
There was a prophecy that the person who would kill Bashmu in the future would be a dragon child.
