Kujo named three successful candidates this year: Aika Asami, Asuka Snake Gate, and Katsushi Mizue.

Those who are discouraged, those who clear their faces, those who have no expression that passing is natural, and those who squeeze their fists to bite the passing.

Responses varied, but participants were delighted with just one word from Article 9.

Meanwhile, Tenji was stroking his chest down.

(In the meantime, it seems that my name was missing. I feel a little lonely, but it's fine now)

Although Tenge took part in this exam, he didn't want to pass it honestly.

Of course, I'm not interested in joining the top guild, but I wanted to spend some time exploring the possibilities of my career.

And Tenji wasn't really thinking about his path yet. That's why I didn't want to narrow down the road to the future at this stage.

(To be honest, if you saw that, it wouldn't be strange to pass... but apparently I didn't meet the acceptance criteria.)

Though a little disappointed, Tenji smiled at Aijia, who passed.

Article 9 looked at the participants' faces to enjoy their reactions and gave them a little time.

Then, Kujo began to spin the words again.

"Well, let's give the successful candidate a general review first. It's you, Aika Asami."

Yes!

With a pleasant and lovely smile from the bottom of her heart, Aika replied energetically.

Seeing that expression, Kujo also displayed a beautiful smile with joy.

"I particularly appreciated you for your leadership. I don't think it's possible we're close to the Five Ways because we've been through that incident. Always be mindful of your surroundings and bring your allies the best extracts. From now on, further study under the Five Ways to hone your leadership."

It has the potential to resemble the Five Ways. Was she glad to hear that? Aika was moving her mouth.

Tenji, who had never seen such a broken expression, wondered if there was such a side in her heart, and was happy to see a new side.

Yes!

"All that remains is our unique ability, Weapon Enhancement Weapon Doping. You have a very powerful beneficial effect on your allies... have you learned this in five ways? It's a good ability to feel a sense of talent in front of you."

"Yes, Godai-san taught me to cover my feelings even more!

"I see, I'm finally convinced.... the last conversation about caring for my buddies had a cute face."

"Face?"

"Well, I'd be happy if the cute kid fought and encouraged me together."

For the last reason of being completely selfish, we are unintentionally stunned.

Still, it was a natural sight for Chariot members, sighing with a little shoulder and saying, "It's normal."

"Ah, thank you."

Don't you have much experience of being said to be cute toward the face? Aika dyed her cheeks with vermilion. Seeing such love, Kujo had a clear expression that was as good as seeing it.

"That's all. Aika Asami will have a fixed ownership right to join the group for five years from today. I'm waiting to be a full member of Chariot after graduation, while still attending high school."

"Ha, yes! Please!

"Oh, thank you. Until graduation, I'll raise you as an Auxiliary Explorer."

Kujo said so in the face of a gentle and cool woman, and turned to the next pass, the Snake Gate Asuka.

Snake Gate looks back at Kujo's eyes with an indifferent expression that doesn't make him feel better or nervous.

"Next is Snake Gate Asuka. You're a genius who can't be honest with you, I'd like to raise you at home right now.... but, well, not only for you, but for all seven other sponsoring guilds, I want you to join."

"... another guild?

The voice of the Snake Gate that I first heard had a calm atmosphere.

Others clearly saw his emotions swing for the first time.

"Oh, I didn't say that. In the first place, this exam is being run jointly by several guilds. Chariot was the main player, and instead of providing funds and talent from other Alliances, there were a few people gathered for scouting purposes. That said, Scout's number one priority is within the organization... but they also insist on a snake gate."

"Okay."

"In the same way as Asami, I will give Snake Gate a five-year fixed ownership right to join the gang. The other guilds will give you the same rights. In the remaining two years of student life, decide which guild you want to go to. We're always waiting to join the Snake Gate."

"I'll think about it."

Participants were bewildered by the gruesome and pale responses.

That should be it, too.

That's not what I'm asking.

Even those who were allowed to wear white uniforms, a handful at the Japanese Explorer High School, came from only three scouts in many of the top guilds.

Among the people Tenji knew, one of the best scouts was an acquaintance named the top ten guilds. The senior studied abroad in Majorca last year.

But the Snake Gate here is probably the first in Japanese history, and at the same time it has accomplished a great scout from eight guilds.

Originally, I could be proud of the results, but Snake Gate replied too lightly.

After enjoying the reaction of the Snake Gate, Kujo turned to the next qualified person.

It was Mizue Seiki of the same group standing next to Tenji.

Next up is Mizue Katsunori, you.

Yes!

"You've always pulled Group 26 on your back. I don't seem to be very good at communicating, but Mizue had enough power to pull on my back. That confidence is a great talent. If you study at Chariot, you will be transformed."

"......!

There was a river that was moved from the bottom of my heart by the praise from Kujo.

Tachihua and Tenji, who were in the same group, unexpectedly loosened their cheeks in a river that sparkled their faces.

"I'm ready for a flexible body, a flexible fighting style, swordsmanship forged from a young age, and death. I love men like that."

"Yes! Thank you!

"The river will definitely turn into a river if you train at home. The other Alliance [Shiroku Shiraito [Hakusoki]] wants Mizue. [Chariot] and [Shiraito Shiraito White] are scouts looking forward to your future. I hope I am very worried about which guild I will join in my student life for the last six months. Similarly, Mizue has a five-year fixed ownership right to join the group.... think carefully about your future."

Yes!

Mizue kept telling me that there was no way you could be an Explorer.

In Chariot's entrance exam, which he was criticized for, Mizue withdrew his full membership from the top 10 guilds.

With this, we thought that we could make a good report on the childhood familiarity that continued to support Mizue.

So Kujo started talking not only to the successful candidate, but also to everyone's eyes.

"That is the general review of the successful candidate this year. The unsuccessful should have heard the current general review and fully understood what was missing from them. Leadership, thirst for explorers, talent... each of them. If you still want to be an Explorer, I'll see you at the entrance exam next year. Then show me what you've been trying to do."

"" "Yes" "

The unsuccessful ones knew what they lacked through the exam.

Is it a leadership and born talent like Aika, an overwhelming talent like the Snake Gate that no one comes near to, or a yearning for an Explorer cultivated by efforts like Mizue?

By the time they got here in the first place, they were mostly convinced by hearing the names of the successful candidates.

--Except for one.

"Kujo-san... why did I fail?

Tiredness squeezed so hard that blood flowed from his fist as to push remorse forward.

After seeing the situation, Kujo looked back at the tired sharp gaze as usual.

"Basically, I didn't tell the unsuccessful person why I didn't pass... but I think you should."

"Thank you."

Just a little, the Nine Articles open their mouths in between.

"Whatever talent, effort, readiness, there's nothing you're missing."

"─!? Then why?

"As the flames told me... you should trust more of your people. You seem to have made friends who can be trusted like a castle or a morning fog, but you still tend to look down on weak people."

"......!?

"Confidence in your strength. Unreliable companions. With that, you're not ready for one-man play, are you? Had it not been for that, I would have passed without complaining. Ah, and... you had a scout from the Guild [POP]."

"Really!?

"Oh, but I said no. Needless to say, why?

"... yes..."

"If you know, go back to school. I'll do it again next year at the exam."

There seemed to be a bit of a thorn in the words to tiredness.

Everyone here nevertheless realized that it was the whip of love that they expected in the tired future, and Tired himself was aware of that feeling.

That's why I regretted it.

I chewed my lower lip naturally for a thousand cuts, and the blood droplets passed through my chin.

I realized that Article 9 was a little too much, but I kept staring tired with eyes like my mother watching over my children.

When he raised his face as if tired had made up his mind, he looked at everyone again as if he was satisfied with Kujo.

I kept sliding my gaze - I stopped looking at Tenge's face.

"Finally... it's you, Noriji Tenjo"
