Tease, tease, tease.

A loud noise was made, and the fragments of what was targeted, the pillars that supported the target, rolled onto the ground.

... Looks like it's broken.

I said to the examiner.

"It broke in the first shot? What do you do after the second shot?

"... uh, oh..."

I don't know the tone of the examiner.

"... there was no protective witchcraft? No... I was fine when I first shot Magic Arrow..."

and so on and so on.

"Examiner?

The examiner annoyed me again.

"... right. I'm sorry, but something's wrong. Can you try again next door?

"Okay."

When I said that, I moved to the neighborhood.

And...

"Magic Arrow"

Yeah!

The target splashed all over the wood with a loud noise.

"No, no, no, no, no! That's crazy, isn't it? Ooh!?

The examiner screamed.

"There's no way they're both badly maintained! You're doing something wrong!?

"Illegal...?

"That's right. Even if it was poorly maintained in the first place! But there's no way it's gonna break that far with a magic arrow!

The examiner pointed at me and screamed.

"You're making a mistake!?

……

"You're making it look like a magic arrow and using other magic tricks!?

This is troublesome.

There's no way I can do that.

Because I can only use magic arrows.

That's just my situation, though. You won't be able to guess at an excited exam officer.

If it's going to be such a hassle, you should have handled it as you did when you shot down the bird. I didn't mind shooting because the examiner said, 'You guys won't break in your student magic'...

It was when I was worried about what to do.

"- What's wrong?

I heard a voice from behind.

Looking back, there stood an unexpected figure there.

Carlisle, the court magician.

His tender expression was staring at us.

It was the examiner who answered. Stretch out your spine and report to Carlisle with a nervous voice.

"Ha! I suspect this student falsely called Magic Arrow and activated other sorcery, and I was just pursuing it!

"Heh. Why did you think that?

"There is no way that a target who was using protective witchcraft could be destroyed by a magic arrow. That's two in a row too! They think it can only be fraud!

"I see."

Yeah, Carlisle nods.

And then he looked at me and he said:

"You wronged me?

"No, I didn't"

"Oh, my God."

Nodding with a smiling face, Carlisle opened her mouth to the examiner.

"He said he didn't. That's okay, nothing?

"So, but -!"

"Do you have proof?

"... Huh?

"It's proof. Evidence that he did do something wrong."

"I don't have that..."

"Well, we won't talk about it."

Carlisle shrugs her shoulders.

"Examiner, your job is to evaluate students, to spot wrongdoing. I'm sorry, but if you can't prove that this is indeed fraudulent, then you lose."

……

"For example, why don't you use magic that parses the sorcery he exercises?

"I can't use that... Carlisle, who are you?

"Can you use it?

The examiner's face became much brighter.

"So, let's do that -!"

"No."

Carlisle laughs at the tease.

"I'm only an auditor. I can't help you get involved in the evaluation."

When I said no lightly, Carlisle slapped me on the shoulder.

"So you, for now, the first exam is over. You should wait for the next exam."

"No, not yet."

I shook my head. A crackling surprise rises on Carlisle's face.

"What do you mean?

"The exam is a three-shot magic arrow. I've only shot two shots."

"Ha-ha-ha! I see! That's hilarious!

"... is that interesting?

"But it's legitimate. You are right to claim your rights. But, you know, it's hard to break the target again. It's not that many of them."

After conceiving with his hands on his chin, Carlisle continued.

"That's right! Your magic arrow, I'll take it specially!

The students around you squeal deliberately.

"You?

Carlisle laughs at my words.

"You can do it instead of the target."

"Oh, no! No!"

It was the examiner who rushed in to crack it.

"Just in case you get hurt -!"

Carlisle smiled with a thin smile and his eyes grabbed the examiner.

"You think I'm the seventh court magician to get hurt?

"Yes, no! Well, that's not what I meant, but, you know, in case there is -!"

"In case there's not a hundred million."

Wave flirtatiously.

"What do you say? So?"

"I don't mind."

I answered instantly.

"I just need to shoot a magic arrow, that's all."

"All right, all right. You're getting interesting."

Walk to the point where Carlisle broke.

"Is that about as far away as you can go?"

Carlisle offered his right hand.

"Hard Protection!"

A true circle shield appears around Carlisle's right hand.

"Sa, anytime. There's no need for any help, is there?

"Okay."

I turn my right hand toward Carlisle.

And I uttered words that triggered it.

"Magic Arrow"
