When I saw one younger boy named Arihara Kite —— honestly, it seemed unusual.

That doesn't come from discrimination or disgust, it's like coming from a different place than where we are... that's the feeling.

In fact, you must have come from a far away place.

I'm not familiar with the letters we're dealing with, and I'm not familiar with adventurers or guilds.

He's more of a country guy than I am from the country, but I think he's an ordinary kid, except for the fact that he uses a bizarre, extreme demon called Slime, which captures a talking shapeshifter and a misrill.

Having overlapped my situation with yours, Kate, I wanted to help him.

Only when, like the guild people who helped me, will I now help those who are lost in the way.

"Lyla, are you listening?"

"Uh, yeah, what are you talking about?"

"Ah, listen to me properly."

Fran, who gave it back to me, looked frightened of me.

We were now watching the exam taking place today to select new adventurers from seats built to surround the training grounds.

"Rick is the examiner this time? Lyla, maybe... Kite, that's tough."

"Mr. Rick. He's tough."

Right now, Rick, the examiner, is battling a spear young man who has been challenging the third.

"Ha! Oh my!!"

……

Mr. Rick does not even use the wooden sword he has against the attack of a young man wielding a spear at his disposal.

The young man's expression turns more and more blue-white to him as he sees through the attack and handles the patterned part with his palms.

Rank Gold.

It is the second-largest adventurer in the four-step rank.

Adventurers belonging to Rank Gold will be able to receive important tasks, high-risk crusade missions, and their strength is not in line.

It's a tough thing that he can never let pass just by pushing.

'--Enough is enough. You can back off.'

When he tells that to a young man on his knees out of breath, he shifts his gaze to the next exam.

So far, three of the five exams couldn't even hit Rick.

Even if we didn't hit the offense, if Mr. Rick had just the “qualities” to blow a bubble, we might still have talked differently... but unfortunately, they would be dropped at the point of the first exam.

"All that's left is the Hood kid and you, Kite."

Maybe Schiff is telling you to be thorough about how things are going, Kate, and the mysterious person who's observing Mr. Rick's battle next to him like that.

From the point of view of her body, she looks like me and the same age girl, but she wraps up some unfamiliar atmosphere.

The information on the participants in this exam cannot even be known by us who belong to the Alliance, so we do not know who the hell they are.

"Oh, that Hood kid, he looks like he's gonna do it."

When I look at Fran's voice at the training ground, the Hood kid who pulled out the knife walks out in front of Mr. Rick.

He's still wearing a black coat, but are you going to do it like that?

The Hood child, with one hand low about the ground, was slashed to Mr. Rick the next moment.

"Fast......"

"That's not just it. That kid."

The flowing knife is directed precisely towards Mr. Rick's steep point.

He's going to deal with all of them, but the look on his face is serious, as opposed to what seemed boring earlier.

'It's impeccable in speed and accuracy. It's a delicacy. "

"...! Knock!!"

The blunt sound of a wooden sword playing an iron knife echoes into the training ground.

The two offenses are already incomparably faster and then heavier than the previous exams.

"Gah, aah!!"

"Oh, that's a great voice."

"Besides, it's like a wild beast to fight. That."

roaring voices as I left them to my instincts and beastly movements.

Definitely, it's a way of fighting you're losing your cool, but still strong.

"Huh!!"

Did you decide that it would not be possible just to be slashed normally, or the kid in the hood, who flew big back, hands on his nostalgia, takes out three knives and throws them at Mr. Rick.

That's when her eyes, hidden behind the hood, glowed red.

Then the Hood child disappeared - as he jumped into the shadow he could at his feet - at the same time as he landed.

"Disappeared...?"

Neighbor Fran shrugs.

When I was also surprised and unable to speak, the shadow at Mr. Rick's feet shook and the Hood child instantly appeared.

Shadow-mediated short-range metastases.

A Hood child waves a knife on Mr. Rick's defenseless back.

At that moment when the cutting edge of the knife strikes directly...,

"Sweet"

'Huh!?'

The knife is deceived by Rick, who lowered himself.

She tries to carry out a chase with her upset exposed, but before she does, she gets a foot payment and breaks down.

The tip of a wooden sword that pokes right at her trying to get up.

He is a Hood child who looks up to Mr. Rick in a regrettable manner, but on the other hand he is a satisfied face.

'Enough. Number four, I know exactly what you're capable of. You seem used to fighting in action, but you leave too much to your anger'

'... Yes'

"I don't know about sex, but that's definitely a drawback for you."

……

Standing up without grabbing the hand that Mr. Rick offered, she will remain silent and return to you, kite.

At the time, Kite, you are listening to Schiff in the black cat state as he leans his neck.

"That's a pass."

"Right. Wow, a hell of a lot of kids are coming in."

Slashing and that throw by the knife.

Could he be our assassin or something? In the first place, that's definitely not human movement.

I'm curious as to why you're hiding your face in the hood, but when will you know if she becomes an adventurer?

"Does that magic mean a transfer to a shadow in sight?"

"The range is limited, but it seems user-friendly. And... maybe he's hiding something else."

I agree with Fran's words.

At least, that kid won't be showing all the bills.

"The beast itself is the way you fight."

I guess there is technology.

I guess I have some experience.

But in the battle at heart, he clearly lacked calm.

Now, even after the battle with Mr. Rick, breathe on your shoulders, Kite, and come to you.

"What, that?"

When I got back to next door to you, Kate, the Hood kid regained his calm without a foretaste.

He also seems surprised that he should have stripped away all that emotion, but is back to sanity as if nothing had happened.

Hood's child's gaze is directed at you, Kate, who is nervously speaking to Schiff next door.

"Last. Number five, are you ready? '

'... Yes'

So, finally, kite, your exam takes place.

If you think about it normally, it's hard to pass Mr. Rick's exam head-on.

Before I head to him, I kind of get more nervous over here watching him take a small, deep breath and calm down.

"Lyla knows how to fight Kate, doesn't she? Does he look okay?"

"Oh, uh, that's..."

"What?"

I glance away at Fran's words at random.

I helped him train.

I helped, but I don't really know how much power he has.

"I was just asking for a favor or something, Kate, and I only knew a little bit about how to fight you... and I was going to find some free time to see, but that kid, he's either dying of generalized muscle aches, or he's running around the city."

"Muscle aches all over my body..."

"No, I can use healing magic, too. Nito forced me to take you, didn't he? But somehow it was a bad time."

What shocked me more than anything was when I saw you, Kite, cursed by the shiv and blasting all over the city crying.

The sight of Schiff soaking his face wet with tears, slamming an egregious curse at him for not looking cute, Kate, was nothing out of the ordinary.

"Anyway, all I know is, Kate, you're the type of Tamer who fights with the demons, and you've been desperately trying these past two weeks."

"If that's the case, we have to see him fight."

I nod to Fran and look at you, Kate.

Confirming that he had calmed down, Schiff jumped big off the ground and turned that figure into a hat.

I grabbed the twirling, spinning hat, Kite, and you reached for the misthrill slime lime on your shoulder when you wore it---shoulded your arm off to pull something out as it was.

Then the body of the silver lime stretched and turned into a stick about two metres long.

"... you know. I just heard that kite fights with the demons... but that just seems like kite fights himself"

"Uh..."

Whatever Schiff is, Lime has become like a weapon...!?

No, it's Mithrill Slime, so it has the same or more strength as Mithrill, so I guess it's impeccable to use it as a weapon!? No way, you're going to wield it yourself!?

Jito, looking this way. From Fran's gaze, I turned away to escape, and for now, to mislead this place, I rise on the spot, raise my voice to you, Kite, and utter my words of support.

"Ka, kite-kun! Good luck -!!"

When I support him so, he laughs happily that his voice has reached me and returns his hand to this one.

It is a genuine support, albeit to deceive. Mr. Rick is staring at this one, but never mind.

I'm not even happy with the pattern for giving me my hand back -,

"Hey."

"...... ah!?"

The look on his face was stiff when the Hood child grabbed a mark and its shoulder from behind you, Kate.
