― ― At the headquarters of the Japan Association of Explorers, exercise facility 1-α.

We will now begin the selection exam for the right to study in Majorca Escuela. The newly added seats will be fully staffed by a total of 50 judges from Japan's top 20 guilds and 30 top professional explorers affiliated with the Association. "

Over 500 Explorer eggs gathered in a huge white based arena space.

Boys and girls between the ages of 14 and 18 are recruited.

Despite being suddenly announced a month ago, the total number of applications exceeded 50,000.

Approximately 500 people who passed the paperwork examination have gathered here.

This is a selection test sponsored by Japan's top 10 alliances, one of Japan's top few elite and most powerful alliances, CLASS (Class), in collaboration with the Association.

The leader of the guild [CLASS], Ukai Renji, is a monster that always ranks first in the rankings of Explorers around the world published annually by the American World Seeker Telegraph.

This year's ranking is 9th, and its strength is among the top in the world.

This year, the Udo got his first Marjorca Escuela frame.

The content of the exam will go through stages, but we will start with a general physical ability test. It's going to take about three days just for the primary exam, so please be too careful not to fall down. "

In this way...

The battle for a new "frame" began in Japan while Tenji was unaware of it.

† † †

The exams were shortening with each passing day, and the sorting of participants had begun with great momentum.

In the primary study, more than 500 participants were limited to about 300.

In the secondary exam, a Survival Combat Practical Exam will be held for each of the 10 players, and only the one remaining will progress to the next exam. Thus, at this point, the number of participants had decreased to 30.

Well, it turned out as expected.

"Oh, absolutely."

There were two shadows overlooking the 30 heroes left over the glass near the third floor, looking down inside Exercise Facility 1-α.

One of them was Yujiro Mizuhashi, who was a member of the association and knew Tenji well.

Next to that...

"Was there anyone who seemed to be hostile to Ukai-san's glasses?

"That's right... about that guy and that guy."

Lotus Ukai pointed to three participants almost without hesitation.

The bridge immediately matches the materials with the face and begins to tell the story about its characteristics and background.

"The first thing I meant... was General Honrenda, a second year general high school student. I have no experience in sports, and my education is... quite high. I'm from a prestigious private school, but I think I've reintegrated into a cheap school. The family situation seems complicated. And...."

"Oh, he's letting me go."

"Well, you're killing like a Koshien ballplayer with no afterlife."

"... I want it while you're there."

"This is the seventh [CLASS] Explorer to be born. Now let's scout against the Association. I can't lose.

Why?

Ukai smiled slightly as to whether the conversation with Mizubashi was interesting.

As he watches, the bridge looks through the following documents.

"Next....."

"I know, Inagaki is tired. It's a child of fire."

"Oh my, what does Ukai-san know... you were aiming for?

"No, I never thought about it.... but now you have good eyes."

"There were many things about him, too. I'm proud to have grown up as an opponent to Ukai-san."

"Anything?

"Yeah, I kind of got along with him. I can't tell you more."

I see.

Ugai showed a slightly boring expression.

He was stubborn about what was going on in places he didn't know.

"Next....."

That's what Mizubashi was about to say.

Take the tablet of the bridge and start to carefully review its contents so that the Ugai can break into it.

"Snake Gate Asuka"

"Do you care so much about him?

"Ah, [Chariot] [Shiraito Shiraito] [POP] [777] [Goldman]... most of the big guilds have it."

"Yeah, he's taken almost every major guild entrance exam, and he's got all the results."

"Why didn't you come home?"

"Isn't that because you didn't take the entrance exam?

That's true, too.

The bridge, which had no idea that Udo would make a joke, opened its eyes to a little surprise.

Still, Ukai doesn't seem to be paying attention to the water bridge and is staring down at the selection examination venue.

"Were the other participants no match for your glasses? I think we've got some pretty good people."

"... no need, I don't need a scum"

"It's still a strong policy. What about her? Katsunori Mizue has already acquired the right to join [Chariot]."

It's a scum.

So, what about her? White uniform from Japan Explorer High School, which has won the right to join the club from three major guilds such as POP and White Chung-hui .

"Cuz has repaired it, after all."

"By the way, do you know a young man named Noriji Tenjo?

Suddenly, Yujiro Mizuhashi named the young man who was not here.

"When?

"Oh, I'm not here. I'm secretly studying at Majorca Escuela."

"Why? Which route did you use?"

"Come on? [Leisure Man] is intervening, so the association hasn't been able to investigate. [Leisure Man] intervened since Mr. Ukai fell in love at first sight with Sengoku White sewing, right?"

"... I haven't given up yet. Sengoku will be the best partner."

"As usual. And perhaps it was the young man who was studying in Majorca Escuela with the White Sewn Sengoku."

"... it stinks."

"Yeah, it stinks. Ah, it looks like it's about to start."

"I want to see it closer."

"Now, shall we get down to the arena? I'll show you around."

"Please."

"Yes, because I am Ukie-san's child."

The two of them descend slowly into the arena.

The participants who saw Lotus Ukai with their eyes looked a little surprised, but soon changed their minds and started to come to the exam.

The content of the tertiary test, that is, the final test, is simple.

Survival tournament wars for five.

Two of Japan's top guilds [CLASS], men and women with first-class healers, are waiting here, ready to be treated in an instant for conditions other than sudden death.

In other words, a survival match with everything.

All you need to do to pass the exam is not win the tournament. It is necessary to be suitable for the glasses of the Ugai.

The organizer is a Udo.

As long as he admits it, the result doesn't matter.

Thus, the final selection exam, in which only a fraction of the right to study abroad was staked, was started with about 50,000 people, 30 of whom were chosen from 14 to 18 years of age.

† † †

Five survival fights were started, with 30 participants limited to only six.

It was named after Inagaki, 17 years old, Mizue Katsunori, 17 years old, Red Lotus, 16 years old Snake Gate Asuka, Hosokan Mei, 18 years old, and Kurogo Satoru, 17 years old.

Inagaki is still a first-year high school egg.

A priest with a first-class Explorer and a unique ability rarely seen in this world.

Katsunori Mizue is a former general student's temporary exemption explorer.

Chariot has already been appointed, but with the endorsement of Article 9, I have participated in this selection test.

General Gurenda is a rare being, really just an ordinary person.

My father evaporated and raised five younger siblings with my mother and two of my brothers. I'm ready to do anything if my younger brothers grow up well.

Snake Gate Asuka is a Japanese and French quater who attends French Explorer High School.

Majorca Escuela, there's him. That's why I'm going. That was the only motive.

Fine Bell Mei and Black Takasaki are second graders of the Japanese Explorer High School and are genuine geniuses allowed to wear white uniforms.

In addition to what is expected in the future, we have a large number of fixed ownership rights. That's why we can't afford to lose to people we don't even know.

The final survival selection test for these six is about to begin.

Here we go!

† † †

The final decision was made in no time.

Winner, Snake Gate Asuka!!

The umpire's declaration of victory was pronounced loudly.

The Snake Gate Asuka looked bored and sat down on the body of a second-year student wearing a white uniform, Black Takami.

Around it, other participants who were unilaterally trapped by the snake gate and had bruises and cuts on their bodies crawled to the ground. The five men, Tired, Mizue, Red Lotus, Fine Bell, and Black Ho, did nothing.

It's just overwhelming, no hands, no feet, that's all.

The cuttlefish and the footsteps of the Udo approached.

When the Ukai stopped in front of the snake gate, he opened his quiet mouth with a sharp gaze.

"Excellent. You coming to my house?

I'm going to Majorca Escuela.

"I see... I see. I'll do it for you."

Got it.

When I heard that, the serpent gate stood up boringly and headed towards the exit so that I could pass by the cobwebs.

Ukai talks to such a serpent gate without turning around.

"Come to our guild. I'll use that talent."

"Think about it."

Words were short for each other, but that seemed enough.

Ugai also seemed to have the funniest smile of the day. The smile was fierce and releasing enough energy to kill the tiger with a single glance.

--Yes, it's no less talented than Sengoku. I want it!

Ever since I saw the battle at the Snake Gate, all the words have come to mind.

And he looked down at a young man lying there, and said the same.

"General Gurenda, come with us."

"... me?

"Come on."

"Of course, I'll take Ukai's invitation."

"Nice eyes. I'll use that talent. At best, scratch your feet."

With that much to say, Udo returns his heel.

The other participants looked back and looked bored without saying a word.

Thus, it was in the hands of a genius named Snake Gate Asuka that the student studied at Majorca Escuera in Japan.

After signing the contract, he flew to Majorca that day.
