Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence

The shedding of the glasses boy brought the number of remaining aspirants to twelve. The expression of the same aspirants who cannot be considered as having finished the exam is still strong.

And a big man tried to impose his next exam as if to chase after the tense faceted aspirants.

"Twelve for the rest? That's still a lot."

The man's words contain the will that not even twelve will be able to take care of him, and further tension runs on the aspirants. Especially those who were paired in earlier trials. Some nodded at each other as if to reassure each other.

But the next man's words keep the aspirants away from the word peace of mind at once.

"Then let's fight those who are now pairs, and let the winners be the successful ones"

The man proceeds with a mouthful like he just came up with, but this is the test method that was decided from the beginning.

Create in the first test a presence that can be the first base of mind in the tense tension of exams. Even the first person I met today was a pair who made a good impression less compared to other faces. Now some of them were paired up and made mild jokes.

But now I want you to fight the pair. This may be a cruel test in some ways, but at the same time it may be the best way to ask for readiness.

The activities of the Demon King may also include espionage. There, we target the leakage of information by soaking up enemy humans and building friendships. In some cases, the enemy can be destroyed at the end of the day, but it's hard not to be missed because he's my friend.

So they dared to ask the aspirants' readiness in the first cruel way.

Some of the aspirants have a puzzling look on their face. Because you want to fight someone you were talking to earlier, or someone you were unconsciously companion to. But if I tried being a big guy, I wouldn't have thought to include an adventurer who wasn't so prepared.

One man rises in an aspirant wrapped in the colour of perplexity.

"I disagree."

"Well, you want to give me an opinion on this occasion? What's your name?"

"I'm Hamas. It's the man who defeats that hateful demon king!

"I'll admit how prestigious you are, but how can you disagree?

It was a boy named Hamas who raised his voice. Those eyes are full of confidence and I don't doubt that I'm the strongest of these. In fact, he is one of those powerful men who calmly observed his surroundings without haste even in the first exam and paired them as soon as possible.

"If you fight in pairs, you'll need at least six fights"

"It will."

"Then it's a waste of time. The Demon Kings are moving even while they're doing this."

"So what do you want me to do?

"You can play a survival match with the twelve of us here."

Did you attract interest in Hamas' answer. A big man thinks a little. It does take a lot of time if we fight each other, but there are a few accidental fights if Hamas proposes a way, but only once in the framework of a fight.

Hamas' proposal is not pleasant from the aspect of asking readiness, but the big guys don't expect this recruiting exam in the first place. Hamas' proposal that something without strength be eliminated in that sense was worthy of adoption.

Most faces nod back when a big man sends his gaze to the other Dedemonized Kings faces around to get confirmation. Apparently, the content of the secondary exam has been determined.

"Fine. Secondary exams shall be survival games. Thirty seconds after the exam begins, everyone distances themselves from the surrounding people and enters into combat posture now. And this exam is over, and to judge for yourselves, you will not be allowed to stop fighting until you have a signal."

The aspirants who have been briefed by the big man soon distance themselves from the other aspirants who were around them. Only Hamas, the proponent, stands upright immobilized with a winning grin. Apparently, he is so confident that the demon king adventurers who saw the attitude turn their attention to Hamas.

But let's not forget that there are two irregular beings at stake in this recruitment exam. One is Jack, affiliated with the Adventurers Union Dark Sector, who leaps daily behind this country called Dacrea. The other was Lucifer, the Great Demon, who appeared like a comet in the world of Dacrya's table.

Both strengths stand out from the other aspirants who participate in the recruitment exam, and their strengths are not to be filled in a day or two. The two of them have yet to show a single end of their strengths, but if they are serious, the next exam and so on will end in an instant.

It's just that these two are oddly entrusted with the same infiltration. It can't be that they suddenly take it seriously first.

Adventurers of the Dedemonized Kings, who do not even consider fine dust to have dark humans or new Great Demon Kings dispersed among their aspirants, pay attention to Hamas. Unprecedented mixes of different thoughts were about to open the curtain in the true sense of the exam for demon king recruitment.
