Eh? Examinations?
Yeah. You havent been preparing at all, so I thought you had so secret.
Yeah, nope. I didnt even know those existed.
That topic brought up at the dinner table, Serge looked over the papers in a hurry.
It was definitely written there. Examinations once per year. If they are failed, the student would have to drop out.
Moreover, the they were less than a month away.
No matter how great Carla-sans prestige was, itd be bad if he had to drop out.
Using his social status along with a recomndation to enter, hed be disgracing Carlas na if he failed.
Moreover, this exam.
Students will be expelled if it is found that they have cheated on their written examinations.
It had that very clear stipulation.
He thought that hed be able to handle anything with his space-ti magic, but as mana perception would be used during the examination, that was more than unlikely.
As he was scrambling to prepare in his room, Chris ca to visit him.
It had only been a month since he transferred in. There was no way that hed be able to prepare for the exams in ti.
He was getting worried that he might have co all this way just to fail.
Excuse Serge?
Fueh?
Serges deadpan response started Chris sowhat.
If you dont mind, do you want to study together? Only a few of our classes are the sa though
Chris-sama, my lord and savior~!
Serge jumped up and fell into a dogeza right then and there.
With that, he sohow managed to sort out half of his courseworks lessons.
For the other half
Save , Azelemon~![1]
Other than the standard holidays, the magic academy had three consecutive months as a vacation.
This vacation existed so that they could maintain the academys entrance examinations and lessons that required a certain amount of ti to complete.
Among those lessons were practical training for practical magic study.
There were no obligations to participate if one were to get good grades in their tests. Conversely however, if one were not confident in their tests, they should choose to go.
Serge, sohow managing to make it through his examinations by dizzily studying until the day before, prepared to participate in the following days practical training.
Well, in truth, it was like childs play compared to when he was an explorer. In particular, as there werent any limitations on weapons and the like, he was confident that he could take a hydra on by himself.[3]
Even so, there was sothing he didnt expect.
He hadnt expected that Chris would participate in the training as well.
It appeared that Serge had definitely wanted to participate in the training, so as her father was heavy-handed, he recomnded her to participate as well.
Its a flag!
Serge muttered to himself.
The practical training was held in the forests between Sacred Mountain Cyrus and the Northern Permafrost.
The practical training was in regular intervals, so although it wasnt like there were many demons there, that didnt an it held no danger.
Therefore, even though there were things such as last testants prepared beforehand in the contract
Serge, youre not bringing anything?
I have a staff and magic bag, what else would I need?
While other students gave the feeling that they were going to a picnic or sothing, it was more like Serge was planning on going to a local store to buy sothing.
And the first day finished without anything really happening.
S-Serge youre not winded at all, are you
Her glasses sliding down, Chris was the youngest there along with Serge. It was no wonder why she had practically no endurance.
I walk a lot.
They were in a forest, but it wasnt like it was that dense of a forest. Additionally, they had a beastkin scout as their guide.
So the hardest part about it only depended on whether or not they were accustod to forests.
When a great tusk boar actually ca to attack them and the upperclassn all wore themselves out on it, Serge just defeated it in one shot with a wind ball.
Yep, everyone was big-headed.
He didnt think everyones endurance would get so low just by having to walk over rugged terrain.
This might unexpectedly be an amusing exam.
Having grown up in a farming village in the forest, it wasnt hard at all for Serge.
Alright, lets set up camp here for today.
The Veteran Scout-san was about to say sothing after hearing the masters words, but wound up closing his mouth.
Well, he knew what the man wanted to say, he probably just thought that saying it wouldnt do any do.
But Serge was different. He wanted to avoid as much danger as possible.
Sensei, could we search for a spot with a bit better view for scouting? Perhaps we head back to that riverbed a little ways back?
Knowing about Serges career, the master didnt reject Serges opinion outright.
He decided that they would return there to avoid enemy attacks and looked towards Scout-san.
Even though everyone was eating their rations on the riverbed, Serge was the only one that went out to catch his own food.
It was a great tusk boar. He wasnt as skilled at it as Maal, but Serge was a farrs child. He could dismantle sothing like this.
He wasnt expecting too much for the taste since he wasnt too versed in bleeding animals out, but thats because Ria was the dungeon food person.
The students were sitting around looking at him with disgusted expressions at first, but the story changed once they saw it turning into a properly cooked al.
Itd be better if I left it to mature for few days
What he finished making was a stew made from potatoes, vegetables, and roasted at.
Serge generously offered it to the students and master that started gulping back their saliva from its sll. That included the Scout-san as well.
Hearing him, Chris spoon stopped moving.
Who?
An old co no, a comrade. We went into the labyrinth together, but shes married with a husband now.
What kind of person is she?
Shes a black cat beastkin, she was the scout for our party. More personally, I was happy whenever she made als for us all.
A beastkin? There arent many of those in the magic city, are there.
There werent many beastkin that could use mana, so there were naturally less of them in the magic city as students. There were a few special people that had Fairy Eyes like Maal though.
Chris, what do you plan on doing when you graduate from the academy? Like going around the world well, the Millennium will be here first huh.
As Ria had once done, Serge also wanted to travel the world.
However, before he could do that, there was the Millennium. He couldnt forget that.
The Millennium? Is it really coming?
Looking at the spoon on her plate, Chris spoke.
Besides, how many more years will it be even if it cos
At that, Serge muttered words as heavy as boulders.
Within three years.
Eh?
Seeing Chris look at him, Serge realized he made a slip.
Well, no, I an, the permafrost looks like its starting to thaw
Are you certain!?
The normally quiet Chris shouted, drawing the attention of their surroundings.
She hushed herself in a hurry, drawing her face closer to Serges.
How many people know?[5]
Well, if were talking about people in the upper tiers of countries, I guess everyone?
She didnt think that she was being deceived. However, she didnt want to believe it.
The previous Millennium was a war that had decreased mankinds population to a tenth of its forr amount. If it was truly about to happen, these northern lands were very likely going to be subrged in war.
In the end, there was nothing worth special note during the three days and two nights they were out.
If sothing had to be said, a hydra appeared for so reason, becoming valuable EXP for Serge.
Serge gained a new nickna, [Snakeslayer], but thats an inconsequential tale.
Serge had told Chris practically everything in the end.
He even told her about the Demon Kings subordinate fighting with Carla.
I see, so the Demon King himself
That was all.
If you want, you can co together with Earl-sama to Ogress. Its not a place that the demon tribe will be able to easily attack.
In various anings.
However, Chris was mumbling sothing and didnt seem to hear what Serge said.
Well, its alright. When the ti actually cos, he could probably get Carla to use her connections and get them to co to Ogress.
However, the conclusion Chris arrived at wasnt one that Serge expected.
I decided! Ill also study offensive magic next year and beco the Hero-samas comrade!
Whyd it turn out like this!?
