Black Summoner
Episode 13: Go to Exam Venue
On the day of the Lumiest entrance exam, Lyon and the others leave the Inn in the school city where they have been staying since the previous day and head to the school building, which is the exam venue. Sometimes exam days were regulated to make it easy to understand and maintain the journey to the school, and furthermore, students were able to pass as a priority, and many of them were placed as guides. Unless you are tone-deaf for the rest of your career, you will not be lost.
"Wow, there's a lot more of us. All competitors?"
"Ya, you're still mostly older than me, it seems. Ugh, I'm getting nervous -..."
"It won't matter at all how many or how old you are. Rest assured, 90% 9% 9%, rivals or whatever joke? 'Cause it's a level I'm going to say in the face."
"Beh, Belle, that sort of thing too loud--"
"" "… (Giro)" "
Even though some candidates will be narrowed down before the examination due to document review, there were also a significant number of stakeholders around the Lyons due to the large number of examinees taking the examination and the fact that they were allowed to bring up to two employees per examinee. Bell's sincere words without falsehood will enter the ears of such people, and at the same time they will be exposed to the gaze of condemnation. At Bell's discretion, by the way, the three of us have no escorts.
"Awww..."
"I'm already too upset if I cromel. That college director said, I'm not talking about a lot of idiots in the school. You're anxious to get ahead of yourself if you can't take it lightly? Well, if you look at Kelvin's folly, you know he's not used to touching too many negative emotions."
"That's why you can't inadvertently make enemies, Belle! You can't scare Kromel either!
"... as far as I'm concerned, Lion is more scared when it comes to interpersonal fights?
"Damn, because that's just trying so hard to win!
Bell unwittingly laughs bitterly at the frightening Kromel, the hasty appearance of Lion. No one will ever think that these two are the black goddesses who nearly collapsed the world, and the brave men who fought head-on against that force, he said.
"Well, shall we do that? More than that, are you both keeping the dates ahead properly in mind?
"Mochiro-"
"- Awww..."
"Uh, Kromel? Are you okay?"
"That's right, it's okay, so...!
"You don't look okay at all, do you? Be more confident in yourself."
With that said, Bell gently holds Kromel's hand. And even more activated is the intrinsic skill 'Tone Invasion'. It temporarily diminishes the color of the fear that dwells in Kromel's mind and adjusts it in a direction that reduces agitation.
"Oh, that? If I asked Bell to hold my hand, he seemed very calm...?
"Well, good for you."
Confirming that Kromel's heart had stabilized, Bell immediately afterwards let go of his hand without hesitation. Kromel doesn't seem to know exactly what happened.
"Wow, Mr. Bell's hands are amazing! It's like a magic hand! Like Mom and Dad!
"It's not like that. And stop with that fighting fool or the big eating fool. Because I'm lightly shocked."
I don't change one expression, and Bell walks out as if nothing had happened. But it seems that Lion was finally watching about Bell like that.
"Huh, Belle's sweet."
'Well, what's the point of that? I'm the reason you surprised me, and I just took responsibility!
Belle is sneaky pointed out by Lion in her reading. Her cheeks were slightly reddish.
"More exams than that, exams! I can afford it, but what about you guys? Look, Lion. Tell me what you said earlier."
"Yeah, good. The exam will take place for three days, and the first day will be a written exam, tomorrow will be a practical exam, and the day after tomorrow will be an interview. The overall score of the three exams will determine whether or not to accept the exam."
"Your study focuses on written measures, and the interview was to the extent of touching it, I didn't practice it at all when it came to practical skills, but was this a good idea?
"I'm sure you'll be fine! Take Stra Chan, yeah, let's trust Dr. Stra! Ooh!"
"Oh, oh!
Lion and Kromel stick their fists up and inspire themselves.
………
""... (chirps) "
And watch the bell silently.
"... I won't do it, will I?
"" Er ""
"If you say so!
In the end, Bell didn't raise his fist and voice to the end.
"Hung, you don't get so excited, it's harder to fall for the exam."
"Well, Belle is confident, isn't she?
"I'm confident. Kromel, you seem to be anxious about practical exams other than the written exams, especially those that are rarely taken care of, but it's no use worrying. 'Cause even the weakest of these ladies have a proximity to an S-class adventurer? You really think those nobles there are better than such a princess? If that's the case, you can't be very realistic. Nonsense. Assuming Kromel falls, he'll only pass about me and Lion."
"... Really?
"Oh, you don't realize? You're the best in the world for your strength, aren't you?
"Hmm, maybe Kromel's criteria, are we?
"What? What's going on?
"Uh..."
Lion mouths his own guess. Since becoming a member of the Sercius family, Kromel has basically been with his family in their actions. Whether it involves other S-class adventurers, the leaders of the four powers, or most of the demons of the Grelbarerca Empire. Clogged up, Kromel is familiar with the Sercius family and the intensity of the faces involved there. I don't feel confident about my abilities because I think about things by such general monster standards? What's more, don't you think that you only have the power of a standard normal level? and.
"I see. That's why you cared earlier about the gaze of those miscellaneous fish"
"Belle, I care about that, too, don't I?
"Well, if that's the case, there's only practice. Tomorrow's practical exam, finally observe the power of other faces. Because I think you may be out of your hands. But you can't do that if you're out of your hands, can you? As long as Kromel takes the exam seriously, it will not be underrated."
"Yes, I'll do my best!
Pong and shoulder slapped by a bell, Chromel can now boost his gall strength with a tone invasion. This also seems to be accepting honestly and gaining confidence gradually.
"Okay! Next, about the third day of the interview exam. You put up some sassy measures about this, didn't you? That's enough, really enough."
"Uh, why is that?
"Think about it. Most of them are prized royalty, nobility, and then they take exams for extravaganza? Of course there will be exceptions, but basically they get nosy. Whatever you told me, how did you fix it? I'll be sure to give you a blur somewhere during the interview. Compared to that, Lyon and Kromel are good and good. I don't think it's important to have a negative image."
"Oh, yeah? It's a little embarrassing when you say it so straight."
"Huhun, be fully ashamed. I just paid you back."
"Oh, but if that's what Belle thought, I'd be more than happy to!
"I'm very happy, too. All three of you are good friends."
"... you're not really poisoned, are you?"
On the contrary, it was a bell that made me a little embarrassed.
(I would be the most disadvantaged person in the interview, personally. Let me earn that from writing and practical skills)
The conversation is there, and the Lyons arrive at the venue in the school. From here, attendants are also forbidden to enter, and only examinees are allowed to enter.
"Well, we're finally in the venue. You two, don't forget to write your names, okay?
"Yeah, okay!
"Copy that!
