"That's a cool robe. I don't like it."

As soon as I got to my seat, a three-knitted man with thin eyes called out with a smile.

Who's this guy next door?

"What? Why are you suddenly making fun of me?"

In these days, I've been looking into hardly wearing robes!

I didn't see him alone until I came to this seat!

No, it's a pretty clean smile.

You really think so?

"No, no! I really think so."

"Oh, yeah. You're one of the rare people out there."

The three-knitted man spins around grasping his lower back.

"Oh, is this it? It's cute, isn't it? Well, I'm not aiming for something cute, but the magician is quite the number one."

No, I don't know...

The three braids continued nicely.

"Actually, I'm here alone, so I don't know anybody. I was really busy. I'm Len. And you?

"Len. I was just fine because I was alone when someone I knew ran away..."

"Did you get away?

"Well, there are many kinds of men..." I'm Gilford. Nice to meet you. "

Len opens her thin eyes slightly.

Ah, this is the usual pattern.

But Len was surprised to say, "Same name as that hero! did not respond.

"- Yeah, that's a name. Let me call you Gil. Hey, did Gil study hard?

"Hmm? Uh, no, not really."

"Hey, are you going to accept that? Or is it the mouth of a physical exam?

"Physical examination?

What, a physical fitness exam?

Do you mean to take the exam for physical fitness?

With a question mark in mind, Len explains with a puzzled expression.

"Hey, don't you know? Look, the famous house is still required to be first-class, so there's a dress, right? That's why we absolutely need a great name for what we were aiming for even if we didn't have to accept a first-class magic school like London. But even the guy in the house knows he's a jerk, so I don't think he'll take it. Even if you know that you will not accept it, you will only accept it for the time being. That's why it's called a fitness test."

Still doing stupid things...

The pride of a famous sorcerer.

Compared to our time, we seem to have a little less power, but that kind of culture still exists.

I mean, because of them, the magnification has been wasted.

"Well, that's quite a cruel story."

"Besides, that's the responsibility of a famous house. I don't think I can complain because I can suck that sweet juice. Besides, London has a small capacity and naturally has a way of looking at it when it falls. However, when you look like that, you don't seem to be taking a physical exam."

So Dorothy is going to be a famous house, right?

Cyrus seemed to know something.

Velvet is a nuisance.

Am I supposed to be a celebrity?

You're with Velvet, aren't you?

No, well, nobody knows I'm a hero, and my lineage is cut off by my death, so is it different from a famous family?

In that case, perhaps the country wizard who came out of the country is in my current position.

It's just a magician with no clues. It's a perfect title for singing about youth.

"That kind of len doesn't look like a famous house either. He's kind of a clown."

That said, Len starts laughing as she bangs her legs.

You're a clown! Hahaha, you have a pretty good eye, you clown. Hey, not bad! It's a prominent number. The magician must first have an impact on his appearance. "

Get tense.

"As you can imagine, I'm not a celebrity. That's why I'm not willing to give up passing to celebrities because I'm a genius."

That's what Len said with her face.

I've met a lot of people before, but it's unusual to call yourself a genius.

"... and I don't hate confident people like that.

"A genius? That's an interesting one."

"You too. Why don't you just tell me how calm you are? Look at the other guys, they're reading books in a hurry now, they're all so bluish that they're dying of nervousness, right? In exchange, Gil is calm. It's a guy who doesn't even think he'll fall, or who doesn't want to do it from the edge. Gil is the former, isn't he?

Len pointed his finger at me.

"Besides, it looks like Gil won't fall off. Well, that's why I called."

This guy... looks pretty good.

"I don't know. Well, I don't feel like falling either. Where did Len come from anyway? Looks like a pretty big luggage."

Len's luggage under his seat is so big that it is unlikely that he came to take the written exam alone.

"Oh, this. Actually, I don't have time to stop by the inn. I'm from Ishlis, but the mountain crossing was honest. The weather was bad and I was stuck here for a few days. I was actually supposed to arrive yesterday, but I only got into town this morning."

I see... Is that why your luggage is so big?

He's pretty wild.

"And what about you? Where did you come from?"

"I'm Tsukumo Village... don't you understand? It's not far from here in the woods. The one in the country."

"Heh heh, village. It's only in places like this where there aren't many people who have hidden talents. --Looks like it's about to start. Let's do our best."

"Well, I think you're going to like it."

The atmosphere of Ren is obviously very similar to the characteristic one he is accustomed to fighting.

It feels rough, but I can't see the bottom.

At least let's do it in practice. I don't know the notes.

"Haha, of course. Next time we meet, we'll be freshmen."

That's what Len said, his hands twitched and he went back to his seat.

He really looks like he's staying.

I don't know how much it is, but it looks like you've seen some of my power, and at least it's not a trick.

I just tried to take the exam to enjoy my youth, but... it seems like I can enjoy a lot.

◇ ◇ ◇

"This is Keith, the examiner at this venue. The test starts after the bell rings. Be careful who opens the problem paper I just gave you before it rings. The time limit is six hours. After a second, you're disqualified on the spot. Make sure you work hard. Raise your hand and let anyone who wants to go to the bathroom know."

The examiner explains the rules lightly.

What an unpleasant atmosphere you are, the examiner.

Then I can hear someone sitting behind me on my right and waiting, perhaps a magic school student and driven out to help with the exam, whispering.

Dr. Keith, you've changed.

"Well, it was brighter before, but... well, that shady feeling hasn't changed."

"Well, there was a ruthless atmosphere before and it didn't change so much. I'm not feeling well, so I wonder what happened."

‥‥‥‥‥‥

Looks like something's wrong with Dr. Keith lately.

Sure, the neighborhood looks sleepless, and it's unlikely to be in good health.

Well, it's a common story for magicians. I don't talk much to people who are immersed in research, and when I speak up for the first time in a long time, I don't know how to talk. Well, it seems close to that.

Don't you have a facility where teachers can study so well? There's no doubt about the reputation of it as a first-class magic school.

- No, more than that. Now is the test in front of you.

I don't think I can afford it, but if I relax, I won't accept anything either.

"- That's all. Well then..."

After completing the explanation, the supervisor holds his right hand.

The venue calms down with the scene. Tension rises in the tight air.

And a few seconds later, Khan Khan... the bell that rips apart the silence rings.

At the same time, the supervisor waves his right hand down.

The sound of rolling paper at once resounds.
