23. Magic Measurement

My daughter, Sylvie, whom the Alliance Master had deliberately dispatched just for my registration, was told that I was exempt from the exam and awarded SSS classes. But by telling people like me that they should take the exam properly, they decided to take the exam officially.

"Sorry for the inconvenience."

and Sylvie frightens, but I shake my neck to the side,

"People like me are also expected to follow these steps. It's not like Sylvie cares."

When I said that, Sylvie dyed her cheeks slightly red and nodded.

Well, why dye your cheeks?

"Hey, have you ever seen that look on Sylvie's face?

"No, I mean, in my case, I've never even had a laugh..."

"Damn, let's... I don't know if he's the savior, but he's not getting along..."

I hear voices like that, but I guess I'm mistaken about something.

There's no way a woman likes someone like me.

At best, enough for the girls in the orphanage to admire me instead of my parents.

"Uh, Master, Mr. Sylvie is not an orphan, is she?

"I don't even have enough beds."

"Shh, I think the number 3 is beautiful."

Girls say things like that. Well, what are you talking about?

And while I'm talking about that, Sylvie will prepare me for the exam.

On the table counter, a clear crystal is placed.

"It's a crystal for magic measurements. It is said to have such a strong magic power that the color is closer to black. Class D to C if slightly gray, Class B if completely ratty. If it gets even blacker from there, it will be A or S. When it's black, it doesn't exist on the continent."

"Right, which one?"

"Oh, wait!

When I tried to get my hands on it quickly, Sylvie stopped me like she was in a panic.

What's the matter with you?

"Well, as I mentioned earlier, it's difficult to test Master Naomi..."

"Hmm? What do you mean?

To my question, Sylvie opens her mouth like she wanted to.

"As I said earlier, even A- and S-class adventurers are to a point of darkness. However, a long time ago, they said that experiments had brought together more than 10 S-class adventurers to instill magic. But then the crystal broke..."

I see, you mean...

"I mean, you're trying to tell me that if I take magic measurements with the crystal, the crystal will break, right?

"Yes, you're right"

Um, you know what? Indeed, in a machine that would break with about 10 S-class adventurers' magic powers, it would break easily.

"I'm sorry, I'm just too powerful."

When I apologized, Sylvie was frightened.

"Yes, no. I'm sorry we didn't expect anyone with this kind of power to show up to mankind."

"I have nothing to apologize for. I can't imagine the power of my class."

That's what I said, and then when I turned to the Lucians,

"You guys should try. Show me the results of your training."

I said so.

"Ha, yes!! I will try!!!

"You watch! Because even Erin will prove she has the power to help Master Masatug!

"Shh will work hard too ~, then okay, come on ~"

Yes, the three girls replied well.

"Oh, hey, looks like those SSS class Masatugs are going to do their exams for his apprentices, huh?

"Those are the disciples of those masters... Wouldn't that be a hell of a thing?

"Idiot. I've already tasted the power of a daughter named Erin! Damn, I wish I could live back from here..."

That's what I heard from the adventurers surrounding us.

Oh, boy, I can't help it.

If there's a magic leak or a rampage, I'll protect you from it.

"Dear Naomi, are these girls your disciples?

That's what Sylvie asked me again, so when I tried to open my mouth to say I was "the girls taking care of them in the orphanage," Lucia and the others broke in.

"They told me you'd be my daughter-in-law when I grew up!

"Oh sloppy Lucia! Me and me! They said I'd make you your daughter-in-law too!

"Neither does Shea. She's making a pact to be a third lady."

"Oh, Shh, that's a secret from your husband!?

and so on. Oh, man, I tell you I want to be your father's daughter-in-law when I was a kid, but that would be exactly it. I'm glad to be told that by some of the most beautiful girls in the world, but it's kind of unchanging when I think I'm going to nest away sooner or later. Is this what it's like to be a father?

"Oh, that guy, three of those beautiful girls..."

"Damn, how unfair is God..."

"I want such a pretty girl to like me, too. No, a hundredth of a million cuteness is enough."

Oh, boy, even the adventurers seem to be mistaken.

Even though it's not like that.

"I see, Master Naomi is an OK type for multiple people. This would be for me too..."

Sylvie says something about bumps, but I can't hear her very well.

"Ha, start the exam faster than that"

There's Sylvie in my words.

"Excuse me."

So the test starts quickly.

Let's start with Lucia.

"I'm not very confident in magic..."

"It's a power type. But it may be very small compared to me, but it's strong enough for the world to work. Don't worry about it."

"Oh, is that right? I've got the courage to tell your husband that."

I put my hands together as I talked about that.

... then,

"Oh, no!? Are you saying this is quite a bit smaller than Master Naomi?

Sylvie shouts her surprise.

"Shh!?

"Seriously!!

"Ko, if this is the power of the disciple, how much is the power of him, the master..."

The surrounding adventurers shall also be Zawazawa.

It's a lot of noise. Wouldn't be such a surprising result. Anyway, my skill enhancement is activated, so I guess this kind of result is normal.

"Eh, class A or maybe it's S-class magic..."

That's what Sylvie tells you.

Once again, the adventurers raise their voices of surprise, but on the other hand, I look extremely calm.

"Well, that would be the place. Lucia, good work."

When I said that, was Lucia happy to be praised by me, she offered her head with a full grin?

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

But when Lucia shook her head full,

"The best reward is to have your husband stroke you. There's nothing else I want in particular."

and so on.

Oh man, he still can't be a wagamama because he was ever abused.

There's no way my nadenade is what I want most.

That's all I am.

Well, I'll buy you some cute clothes again.

With that in mind, when I stroked the girl's hair and a little chemo ear over her head, Lucia looked so happy that it melted.

Oh, man, it's over.

"One, me next! I want to do Erin too!

I raised my voice as Erin looked with envy at Lucia for some reason.

Hmm, I didn't think you'd be more willing to take the exam.

"All right, then, Erin, let's see what your training accomplishes."

"Yes! We will do our best to meet your expectations!! Master Masatug's magic will never end, but you can't beat Lucia!!

Erin put her hands on the crystal in a tense way that never happened.

Then...,

"Ugh, lie... it's the magic of Erin who said it couldn't reach the end of Master Naomi, but I can't believe how much..."

"Oh, hey, I can't believe that..."

"Oh, oh... definitely... it's a blackout. We need to gather a bunch of S-class adventurers. It's a phenomenon. You mean the apprentice who had that master..."

"But if you're a disciple and you're on that level, what the hell level is that Masatug of a master?!? Actually, you have more power than the SSS level!?

No way, I can hear voices like that coming from the adventurers surrounding us, but for me, Erin's magic results were too much and boring.

Anyway, it is a natural consequence because of my skill enhancement.

"Erin, you did a great job. It's a magic trick that won't even take a pull from an S-class adventurer. Do you have any rewards? Whatever you want, man?

When I say that, Erin doesn't get lost.

"Lew, I want you to stroke your head just like you, Lucia!

was to say.

"Hey, you too? What do you want? Even cute clothes, even food, can buy you..."

But when he shook his head beside me with momentum in my words, he offered me a beautiful blonde head all the time.

Oh, boy, why was I stroking you?

Yeah, there must be some reluctance after all. She has a history of being targeted and rolled in by assassins. All right, next time, let's just say we're all going to eat something delicious.

With that in mind, I stroked Erin's head.

"Ha ha, Erin is happy, Master Masatug"

He said it with a face that seemed to melt away.

Oh, boy, what a pleasure to be caressed by me.

"Yes, next ~, next is Shy's turn. I'll have Mr. Masatug nadenade too ~, eh"

That's what Cee touches the crystal with.

"Eh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh he heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh

So he peered into the crystal with an exciting expression.

But then I hear it and I realize, "Shit."

"My tens of thousands... If so, it easily surpasses the magic powers of more than 10 S-class adventurers!?

To my words, Shea said, "Huh?" and raised an adorable voice.

At that moment, the crystal, the magic measuring instrument, beckons!! He made a blunt noise and broke it in two.

Well, if it were tens of thousands of my magic, it would be.

I held my head and wondered how I had compensated.
