At the Red Academy, you can now advance to the second grade.

We will decide which lab to join ...

"Let me take the entrance exam"

After the class at Blue Academy, I asked the instructor.

The detailed rules may vary from school to school, but, like the red school, you may be able to take the entrance exam immediately if you get a teacher's recommendation.

To be honest, I don't even need to listen to the contents of the Blue Academy classes.

"... what are you talking about?"

I was staring at me.

"The promotion exam is once a year. Did you not hear the guidance if you take the exam after completing the course for one year?"

"I remember, of course, but if teachers approve, can we take the exam right away?"

"That's only for those who have good grades! While I rarely come to class, what is the promotion exam? Would you make me laugh?"

By the way, this instructor is a woman who was in charge of the entrance examination of the Blue School.

Was the name, Hengel, sure?

"So how do you admit?"

"The first thing is to come to class properly."

"Hmmm, that's a fall, because I'm thinking of going up to grades so I don't have to attend classes that don't make sense."

"……What was that?"

Hengel's caught up.

"Isn't it worthless to get my classes ...?"

"It doesn't fit my level."

"That ... how far are you cheeky ..."

Hengel thrust his thin long finger at my face, floating the blood vessels in the temple.

"That's why I'll give it to me ...! I hope you're worthy of taking the exam ...!"

In other words, would you let me take the exam to be able to take the promotion exam?

It's a bit confusing, but ... I just need to pass both.

Then I was taken by her and came to the training ground.

"Hey, what is a supplementary lesson?"

"No, they seem to take the promotion exam."

"I'm sure Dr. Hänger will make sure that he's qualified."

"Huh? That person, are you always skipping classes?"

"In the first place, it's still a year? Even though it's a second grader, the pass rate is less than half."

Perhaps because it was just after class, even students who heard the conversation with Hengel were following.

She is going to visit.

One of them is Kufa, who looks like he has for some reason.

In the middle of the training ground, I face Hengel.

"What are you doing?"

When asked, Hengel lifted his mouth happily somewhere,

"I'll give you a direct contact. Are you ready?"

Apparently a mock battle.

"In other words, you have to fight and win."

"Well ... what are you talking about? I guess you could beat me, my instructor at this institution?"

"I don't know unless I try, but maybe I can win?"

"I feel like I'm more proud of myself than I thought ..."

Those who were on the side were angry.

"Hey hey, what's that fan doing?"

"I can't beat the teacher at all."

"And Dr. Hengel, he seems to be said to be closest to the next" Mage King "."

Me and Hengel stand about 15 meters apart.

It seems to be derived from the rules of the traditional duel of wizards, but it is common for mock battles to start after a certain distance from each other in this way.

Use of weapons is prohibited.

Access is allowed, but physical attacks such as hitting or kicking are prohibited.

You'll win if you remove all of your opponent's protection.

"But I'm not going to be serious about the students."

"Is that so?"

And the test started,

"I'm sorry to say that I sang a bunch of words against me.-Ice Storm!"

Immediately after, Hengel gave off advanced magic.

"Oh, sorry. Is it just a little too strong?"

"" "No, no, I'm not doing my best!"

Furious cold winds, including icy gravel, rush in while visitors' voices rise.

"The most basic tactics of mock-ups with magic are to set up your tactics before the start and use powerful magic at the same time as you start.

"" "" "

"Did you say anything?"

"""It's nothing"""

So that's it.

Is it OK to start building a surgical procedure before starting?

"If you're frozen, don't hear my precious advice-- !?"

The snowstorm subsided and Hengel opened his eyes.

I am intact and my blessing has not diminished at all.

Before the ice storm hits me, I activate the magic of the ice shield.

The ice barrier surrounding all directions protected me.

Parintsu.

Kick the ice wall and go outside.

Hengel frowned a bit ridiculously.

"... I hit that big thing, and it is natural that I can prevent as much of the current attack as possible."

"Well, I was wary of the possibility."

I just thought I would be stupid if I was disqualified.
