The day when Ms. Iris's adventurer exam takes place.
I was on my way with Lyla to the training ground behind the guild where the exams were going.
Lyla and I, sitting in the audience seat at the training ground, and Yuran look down at the people gathered at the training ground.
Kate, there's Lord Iris over there.
"Oh, really."
There are four people who are going to take the exam, Iris and Shif on their knees pointing their faces.
Iris is a natural entity that is not particularly nervous, but the other four seem nervous.
"Was it like this with me?"
"Yeah, Kate was so nervous."
"I will. Because the exam was unfamiliar at the time."
I was originally a student.
I am aware that there is no such thing now.
Ah, it's about time we started.
Looking at Lyla's voice at the Training Ground, you can see the back door of the Alliance that leads to the Training Ground.
What came out was a woman with impressive red hair, my senior Tamer and Rank Gold adventurer, Serra.
Nice to meet you! My name is Sella, and I'm the one entrusted with this exam! "
Sera-san...
You must be Serra.
What a subtle voice you can hear from me and Lyla.
unexpectedly.
With her hands on her hips and her fingers twitching, she seems to be in vain, but why can't she wipe away her anxiety...?
In the meantime, are there any monsters you like!?
……
"Fufu, this is a joke. But for now, the evidence against you has become a bit subtle. [M]... whoa, that was a joke, right?"
The anxiety immediately became a reality, making your cheeks twitch.
Sella is a respectable person, both as a tamer and as a senior adventurer.
As she keeps an eye on the situation, Sella starts talking about the exam.
This time, my exam is simple. Let me show you your stunts. "
Stunt...?
Rick was in a mock fight with him, but is it okay for Serra to show each stunt?
"When you were Kate, all the candidates were capable of fighting. I think Rick chose a quick mock fight to save trouble."
"That's right...."
"Well, the exam is really tough. I think this exam is a formal one because some people are not good at fighting."
Indeed, Alliance adventurers are not made up of strong fights...
Appreciatively, looking at the training ground, one of the students who had already taken the exam showed Sella the magic.
Apparently, it's the magic of the same water system as Chisato, but unlike her, it seems to be releasing water gently.
--- Yeah, it's the magic of the water system. Although the amount of water that can be discharged at once is small, it is a good magic that can be applied. "
Thereafter, Cella calmly evaluated the candidate's stunts one by one.
However, the fourth examinee, the boy, is desperately trying to manipulate the magic of fire.
Is my age the same or a little different?
"Mm, kite. Oh, he's in danger. I can't control my magic."
Huh?
At the next moment, a flame of fireworks splashed out of the boy's hand and hit him in all directions.
Magic burst.
As she aggressively tried to deal with the lime in the water bottle, she caught sight of Sella taking something out of her hip-reaching hand.
Whoa
Serra stretches something as fast as a snake.
It moved like an animal, and in an instant it wiped out all the fires that had burst into the surroundings.
It's nice to be too clear, but just calm down a little bit.
The whip was in her hand.
After skilfully putting it back on her waist, she laughs at the boy to reassure him.
"... wow, you were manipulating it like a limb."
"Serra is a real tamer, but she must have enough strength to fight herself...."
Honestly, I admire the whip in my current costume.
But I know you'll never be able to destroy yourself.
Cumming!
"What's the matter, Lime?"
I heard you learned that whip.
……
My wizard is too good to be afraid. [M]
In the meantime, I look at Elise, the last examinee to perform the next stunt after the boy while stroking the lime.
I didn't have the chance to listen to her magic somehow, but I wonder what kind of magic she uses...
Thank you very much.
Mum, this is it again......
Iris activates his magic with a slightly sloppy salutation.
Then a change begins to take place on the ground at her feet.
Soil magic?
"... but it's a little different."
The ground rises and three masses of man-shaped soil appear.
A female-shaped earthy doll with no face and a sword.
They move like living people and line up in front of Mr. Iris.
"Shaping (Creates)/Earthlings (Golems)"
When she moves her fingers, the Golem moves separately and holds the sword like a knight.
Does Iris's magic manipulate the earth...?
"Can you manipulate the Golem you created as you please? I think I can do a lot with the shape of the golem I made."
"I've seen a lot of earth magicians too, but nobody even made a golem."
Sella looks at the golem in line with interest.
Yeah, yeah, how do you use magic by manipulating multiple golems and working separately?
Yes.
How many bodies can be manipulated simultaneously?
"You can control six of them individually, and you can control about twenty of them by doing the same thing for the whole thing."
Oh, that's amazing!
Sella seems to appreciate it too.
Well, I think it's amazing from an amateur about magic.
Looks like this is going to be okay for the first test.
"You've finished your primary exam and you're going back to the guild?"
"That's right. It means that Mr. Ilis is here, too. Yuran, let's go."
Yuran stood up quietly watching the exam.
If we keep moving, Sella will approach us from the training ground.
"Kate, can I have a moment? And the armor there."
"Eh?... Lila, may I have the guild first?"
"Okay."
Let Lyla go first and travel to the training ground with Yuran.
Sera, who summoned me, waved her hand at Yuran.
"I'm sorry. Stop me."
"No, I don't mind. What's the matter with you?"
About that armored boy.
Sella's gaze turned towards Yuran.
Yuran hides behind me somewhat frightened as if his first impression were pulling his tail. [M]
"Do you know her name?"
"I don't seem to remember it yet, but I call it Yuran."
Yuran, yeah, that's a nice name.
It was also very popular with Sella.
Then Serra walks towards Yuran, who is illuminated with praise for her name.
"When I first saw her, I called her Durahan... but I knew it wasn't."
"What kind of monster is Yuran?"
"Possibly the living armor. A line of armor possessed by a human soul. I'm sorry."
?
As she approached Yuran tilting her neck, she grabbed Yuran's head and took it off.
Sella looked into her armor with Yuran in surprise.
"Let me, Sera-san!?"
"... nh, wait, I think something just happened."
When she began to plunge her head into her armor, both I and Shif stopped her.
Yuran is so warm, and above all, the adventurers on the training ground are starting to gather around.
"Yuran is also surprised, so please stop it!"
"Hmm? Ah, sorry. Sorry. However, even if you peek into the armor, it doesn't look cursed, so the line of the living armor may be thin...."
"Kate, this guy is fucked! And more!"
What would I have done if I had been cursed...
Rather, do you curse ghost monsters like that?
"Sorry, Yuran. Seems a little too reluctant."
……
After pulling her head out of Yuran's head, she apologizes to Yuran for being tight.
After a few seconds, Yuran, who stood loosely, looks at Sella and hides behind me in more fear than before.
……! ……!
"Ahahah, you seem to be more scared than before.... well, it's time to report the exam."
She laughs teasely as if she doesn't care and tries to return to the guild.
But before that, I looked back unexpectedly. [M]
"Kite-kun. Maybe you should be a little more careful with that kid."
Huh?
"Visible shapes aren't necessarily real. Mr. Kite."
After giving meaningful advice, she laughed at Nihill and headed straight for the guild.
The rest of me laughs bitterly at Yuran, who is still hiding behind me, and talks to Shif at his feet.
What do you think that means?
"You mean keep an eye on Yuran. At least I'm sure it's not Durahan, but he still has a lot of mysteries...."
"I see....."
The visible shape is not necessarily authentic.
Instead, I decided to go to the guild to join Lyla and Elise, caught in the feeling of something caught in my chest.
