Chapter 34 – Entrance Examination – part 3

Lilith tilts her neck confused.
I smiled bitterly.
Well, it’s usually the highest compliment to be lined up with a Hero. But we grew up in a special environment.
And it’s too troublesome to explain it to Lilith.

「Can I take the second exam too?」

When Lilith took off her hand, the flame that’s burning in the crystal immediately disappeared.
I wordlessly touched the surface of the crystal ball.

ーthe inside of the crystal ball is filled with flames.

Looks like that is the maximum magical reaction possible for this crystal ball.
In other words, statuses that can essentially cause more magic reactions… the status of a non-standard person cannot be measured.
If so, my second exam should be the same as Lilith.
Then, a surprising thing happened.

*Sizzle*

「Hot!」

I involuntarily took my hand off the crystal ball.
As the people around looked at me due to my loud voice, they saw the state of the crystal ball, and at the same time, a bigger thing occurred.
After all, the crystal ball that reacted to my MP and magic power now has countless cracks on its surface.
And then, as if gasoline was ignitedー

ーthe crystal ball is on fire.

Everyone around is making a loud noise.
A scorching flame was gushing out from the crystal ball.

「…」

I look at the front.
The second examiner’s mouth is opening and closing.

「…」

I look to my right.
The magic swordsmanーthe nobleman’s mouth is also opening and closing just like the examiner.

「…」

I look to my left.
Lilith is silent, but for some reason she is nodding greatly while puffing up her thin chest.

「…」

I was silently holding my head, thinking that I had done it.
I sighed deeply, I didn’t want to stand out as much as possible.

「What the hell!? What is this?! Isn’t that impossible? I’ve never heard of a pyrotechnic status measuring device burning up!? O-Oi!? What’s going on?」

Lilith whispers after hearing that.

「… Of course you have never heard of it. The premise that… one of the undeniably strongest corner of humanity that does not appear in the public world… is subjected to a measuring equipment like the one here… is strange.」

The magic swordsman violently grabbed me by the collar.

「Oi, You! I’m telling you this is impossible, you know!? I’m a member of the high nobility, so answer me, you commoner! What’s more, from the first exam, you… you have been suspicious! And to top it off, you made the measuring device burn up in the second exam…! What kind of magic trick did you use!?」

「Even if you call it a magic trick…」

As I shrugged my shoulders, the magic swordsman came at me again.

「You’re just playing dumb… Oi, Examiner? What’s gonna happen to this guy’s result for the second exam!?」

「…」

The second-stage examiner was silent for while, then after he finished thinking, he said,

「The passing criteria is whether or not a flame generated by touching the crystal is visible or not. Although there is a high possibility that the measuring instrument malfunctioned, even if that were the case, it would be the fault of the organizers of the exam… I have no choice but to judge this result as a pass.」

「What the hell! Are you kidding me!? No matter how you look at him, this guy is a fraudulent scammer from a peasant village! I don’t want to sit at the same desk in the same school as this trash!」

Unsatisfied, the magic swordsman attacked the examiner this time.
Geez, He is really like a piranha, I thought while I watched the exchange between the two.

「He still hasn’t passed the third, final exam… And besides, the exam results are none of your business. Yes… even if you are a member of the royal family, as long as you are enrolled, you are just a student.」

Quite right.
Unlike the spoiled brat, the examiner seemed like a sensible old man who understood what he was talking about.

Then, 「Gununu…」the magic swordsman began to stamp his feet on the ground in frustration.
Imagine this: a 16-year-old boy stamping his feet in front of everyone.
「Oi, oi…」and when I was amazed by that, the spoiled brat came up with an even more outrageous statement.

「Oi, you…? Just a student… you say!? I don’t care if you’re an instructor or a staff member of the Magic Academy… but what you said just now was disrespectful, you know? To my father, who is a high noble, the older brother of His Majesty the King of Fasilia… Shall I report to him that you made me feel uncomfortable!? No…」

With a smirk on his face, BonBon clapped his hands together.

「I’ve come up with a great idea. You have used your authority as a staff member of the academy as a shield to bully me, a good-natured student, and intentionally treated me disadvantageously… That’s right, it’s already a case of unreasonable treatment and harassment. I shall report to the King of Fasilia Kingdom to do something to put a stop to it. By the way, I’ve used this method to demote dozens of people so far… In severe cases, I’ve even sent them to prison. Fufufu, I’m looking forward to it…」

Eh?
That remark made me, Lilith, and even the examiner’s eyes wide open.

ーーIs this guy an idiot!?

That’s malicious… or rather, to put it bluntly, it’s disgusting. What kind of upbringing did he have to turn out like this?
If this guy is part of the royal family… it’s enough to make me worry about the entire nation of the Fasilia Kingdom.

「Um, wait a minute… You…」

Even the examiner seems to be disgusted by his behavior.

I sure got tangled up with a troublesome guy… or so I thought while furrowing my eyebrow.
Then 「Haa…」I let out a sigh.
Apparently, he was thinking about how to placate Bonbon’s anger.
So, I offered help to the examiner.

「Oi, the magic swordsman over there?」

「Ah? What?」

「In other words, you just don’t want me to be admitted to the school, don’t you?」

「Ahh. Just the thought of sitting at a desk in a school building with villagers besides me makes my skin crawl!」

「Then… How about this?」

「Hm?」The magic swordsman tilted his head.

「The third exam is a practical test that involves mock combat between candidates. It’s a one-on-one match to test your skills, right?」

「Ahh, that’s how it should be, but…?」

With a clap, I said,

「How about an exhibition match where the special scholarship student, you, and I, a candidate, battle it out, borrowing your chest? Win or lose, we’ll have no hard feelings because it’s a special match.」

「I’m in!」

With those words, Bonbon and I were transported to the grounds of the Alten Magic Academy.
As it was a special match between a candidate and a special scholarship student, there were many spectators.

「I don’t want to stand out though…」I thought, but well, I’m annoyed, so there’s no helping it.

「It’s time… Villager.」

「It’s Lute.」

「Hm?」

To the high-ranking nobleman who is frowning, I said again with a little more tone,

「My name is Lute Mclane.」

「…And?」

「Don’t call me Villager, call me Lute.」

With a smirk, Bonbon nodded as if to say, “Okay”.

Huh, surprisingly cooperative. Bonbon’s evaluation in my mind has risen from the level of raw food garbage to plastic garbage.

「So… Hey, the Villager over there.」

I see.
So this is a high-ranked noble… From the beginning, it seems he has no intention of listening to me.
