The moon and day pass, and the season changes to winter.
Tenge continued his life of lectures and dungeons, and nearly three months had already passed.
"Practical exam in a week... I wonder what kind of exam. Do you know Pine?
After school after school.
Tenge invited Pine for lunch and came to Dos Sol Pablo on the first floor.
Here, the winter weather is one of year-round hives and snow, with people wearing thick coats and down jackets.
They also weave down jackets from the top of their uniforms.
Pine was also wearing a camel coat to protect against cold.
Dos Sol Pablo is located in the middle of the first floor and is also said to be the entrance to the Majorca Resort Dungeon.
For this reason, it has a landscape characterized by the fact that it is being modernized as if it were a three-tiered city.
Buildings are being added to houses originally in the dungeon, and skyscrapers and apartments are being built on more vacant land. More recently, projects have been underway to expand the city outside the city, spreading an uncomfortable landscape with a mix of medieval and contemporary vibes.
The buildings on the first floor have lots of Rotenburg-style exteriors such as brickwork, but on the second floor modern chic glass and facades are used instantly.
Of course, the road is not driven by carriages, but by modern civilizations such as private cars and taxi buses. On rare occasions, helicopters and fighters fly here.
(Even though you're used to the sights, it's always an interesting city. But I still like the calm atmosphere of the three-story Tourace Central Pablo.)
Looking up at the strange streets, Tenji had such an impression.
Next to it, pines with cute brown skin walk the city together. They were on their way to their favorite hideaway cafe restaurant.
And so Pine turned a strange eye to Tenji's question.
"Yeah, I know. Tenge is diving in the dungeon with me... that amazing Japanese guy... what is it?
"About Hiroki?
"Yes, Crowfyuki! You didn't hear anything from Fuyuki?
"Oh, I see. Should I ask Senpai?... it was a blind spot."
"Ahahaha, you're still missing something weird ~, so I'll tell you more when you're eating. As usual, it shouldn't be that difficult."
"Yes, thank God."
Hearing that the exam is not too difficult, stroke your chest.
Looking at it from next door, Pine realized that he didn't really know what the exam was about.
The Japanese named Tenji had floated somewhere in the class.
Rumors have emerged that he is a five-grade Swordsman, that he is overwhelmingly sharing a house with thousands of popular townships from boys among teachers, and that he rarely comes to school and spends several days in dungeons.
These actions and facts isolated the existence of Tenge.
However, Pine hated such natural and flowing air.
"Hey, have a drink today."
"Huh? Me? Well, let me tell you what the exam is about... just for a minute."
Tenge smiles like a bitter bug crushed.
This was also a factor in isolating the tenge.
There was also the power of pine, and I was told that I would go out with the same classmate several times. However, Tenge tended to dislike spending very much.
I could say it was just a jerk, but Tenji didn't want to bother a thousand townships.
(In the past... no one in Majorca Esquira still has no money. Everyone goes to this school with promises of living expenses and remuneration from the state and supporters. Me too... now that Musta-san is supporting me, I'm living such a luxurious life.)
Pine looks at the side of the tenge walking next door with that in mind.
This country is rich.
You don't have to worry about dinner tomorrow, and you're not afraid of sickness. Life expectancy is much longer and you can live normally up to the age of 70 or 80. You don't have to choose a path to walk in fear of the Mafia, or you can live without having to leave your family in an unwanted way.
That's why tenge, which spared lunch, seemed unusual to other students.
(That's why... I have to stay next to you alone. I can't pass this school exam alone.)
"Ah, Pine. It must be today's limited edition meal. It was paella yesterday, fish and chips yesterday... is it time for Japanese food?
"Hmm, I'd like to eat home-cooked rice too. What's there to eat in Japan? I've only ever eaten what I call an ossie."
"That's right... what kind of Japanese food is there when you ask me that?"
"Ah, I see! If you ask me again, I won't know what famous food is in my country! By the way, I often eat sheep and rice in Senegal. I'm going to mix it up. I don't feel classy like this dish."
"What? You didn't have much trouble when you came over here?
"Hmm, not at all. Musta-san, who recommended me, made me eat in various countries so that my body and mind wouldn't be surprised. That's why I wasn't surprised.... I was just a little surprised."
"Pine laughs happily when she talks about Musta-san. I'd like to see Mr Musta-san just once."
"Meet me? You're coming to Majorca in a week! Principal Lily asked me to help you with the exam!
After all, Pine's eyes were happy to talk about Mustah.
When Pine came here, Tenge knows that some students saw her with weird eyes because she had brown skin.
However, with the excess passion of pine, I blew away the surrounding eyes.
The only thing that makes Pine so happy is when she speaks to someone named Musta-san, who gave her the "frame" to enroll here.
Well, maybe we'll see each other then.
"Yes! I'll tell Mr Musta-san!
Pine shook a dazzling smile that could be mistaken for the sun.
† † †
They finished their lunch at the cafe restaurant "la lune", which opens quietly at the edge of Dos Sol Pablo.
This cafe restaurant is a truly small shop started by a former famous French chef who wanted to spend the rest of his life relaxing.
When she was young, she flew around the world and studied cuisine from all over the world, so she could cook in almost any country. That's why you can enjoy a variety of national dishes in the daily exclusive menu called "The Chef's Favorite".
This was one of the reasons Tenge and Pine went through.
There is also a reason that the price is conscientious for Majorca, and it is neither heartfelt nor painful for the tenge.
"Phew, it was delicious. It was authentic Indian food today."
That's right, it was hard.
Tenge rubbed his stomach satisfactorily, and the pine was a little bitter or slightly red dyed around his mouth.
Pine immediately asks for a drink similar to Lassie's and fights the chicken with it for spiciness. I can't keep my mouth off the glass and it's a little cute to be drinking with chips.
"I'm glad the exam seemed easy. First-year students rent out the 15th floor and do it for each class. Each of those 15 people is left at the edge of the field, and they just move on to the goal in the middle of the field, right? Whether it's fighting together, jamming, or whatever, it's a good form of survival freedom."
"That's right. Hah... spicy..."
Pine sticks out her tongue as she affirms.
"But... does it really bother you?
"Yeah, everything seems to happen every year. Perhaps the teachers are tolerating it. To get used to Black Explorer's tricks, I guess."
"Ah, that's what I'm saying... Well, the ranking of the goals and the number and rank of beasts defeated within the time limit determine the result, so you can't help it. Black Explorer....."
"For us, it's the first visible event to produce results. Everyone's been training hard lately. Looks like George and Demiria have been training with their teachers for the last few days."
For first-year students, this is one of the biggest events that will allow them to clearly understand their relationships with their surroundings for the first time since they entered school.
The reason I described it as an event is because it is a test and not a test.
For schools and teachers, this exam is just a material for accurately measuring students' current location and use in future lectures. Like Japan, there is nothing directly connected to the future path or because the results are bad. Well, I often hear about picking up frames from supporters who send in students who are obviously unable to do so every year.
That's why this event will definitely determine the sequence by grade.
(Well, I don't seem to be in sight either. You don't have to worry about interference.)
Tenge's character has become the Swordsman of the lower-ranking students with only five grades of talent.
That's why no one is interested in people who are no different from those on the ground.
"Of course, Pine is going to be number one, right?
"Of course! I'd like to give Mr Musta-san a good report. At a minimum, we need to defeat more than 50 goals and quaternary monsters within 3rd place."
Last year's exam, in other words the second grade exam now, was won by a student named "Goal Rank: 4th Place, Number of Monsters Defeated: 15th Grade, 56th Grade".
This exam requires comprehensive explorer skills on an individual basis, including monster sensing and sensing skills, battle skills, negotiation skills, and dungeon walking.
If you hit a similar number every year, you can always eat it up, so Pine was able to put a specific number in his mouth.
(Well... it seems that Yuki was even more unusual.)
Last year, Winter Happiness was around a year ago.
In that year's exam, Winter Happiness won the championship, and the record seems to have been the highest since the opening of Majorca Escuela.
Goal Rank: 8th Place, Number of Monsters Killed: 151 Grade V, 876 Grade IV
This seems to be a record that is more than usual, and cannot be broken unless a new Zero Explorer candidate enters school.
Of course, Tenge is not going to do anything so messy as to break this record.
(Besides, you don't have to bother to get good results here.)
Still, Tenge doesn't have the strength of a first-class Explorer.
That is true in terms of status, but it is also true in terms of the technical power of a simple Explorer.
So...
Until then, it was Leon's promise to quietly and steadily build strength.
Such a tenge had already risen from level 3 to level 4, and a month had passed.
As usual, only similar changes have occurred, but the pace of rising levels has been accelerating.
The number of infernal beasts has increased, the hierarchy has been constantly renewed, and the tenge has grown at an astonishing pace, thanks to the rare land patterns close to the Maggiorca dungeon.
Currently, Tenji's book of demons has changed so far.
It's only been three months since I've been here, and I'm seeing incredible growth.

The stats rose by an average of 1000, and the boundaries of Hell Space increased from 31 to 78. Meanwhile, the number of demons has now increased to 78.
In addition, "Red Demon Great Sword" and "Red Demon Anklet" have been added, and there are more "HP Recovery Onyō" in the shop.
Until the next level 5, the remaining XP is 8224.
Since the number of fifty is perceived as a good number, I was looking forward to the next change now or now.
