The next morning.

Examiner Yard came out of the conference room as we waited for the results at the guild.

That look doesn't look good.

Or it seems very depressing.

"I'm sorry, it's been on the worst terms. Maybe it was still better not to negotiate."

That's what Yard says, he bows his head to us.

Worst conditions...... what the hell does it mean not to negotiate better?

"On what terms?

"The exam is only for one day... but that Gil 'as will be the exam officer"

Yard tells you so badly.

Gil 'as...... that's a name you've never heard of.

Could it be a reputable examiner or something?

"Who's Gil 'as?

"No way, you don't know? You got that Gil 'as?

"You don't know.... you know what?

That's what I see, Lurii, Alma, Iris.

But the three of them shook their heads to the side.

"I don't know, do I?

"I don't know!

"Hmmm... I think you've only heard the name a little bit, but you don't know what it's like..."

Apparently, I don't know any of the three of you.

Is it a celebrity or something in this country from the way you naturally know it?

"I didn't know there were adventurers in this world who would be B-ranked without knowing Gilás' name..."

That's what Yard says, with his head in his arms, he explains.

"... Gil 'as is a badly reputed S-ranked adventurer. All I can think about is the battle, and I don't want to basically do anything else.... I've only been an exam officer once before, but the moment we met, we all failed."

... In short, are you a combat idiot?

I can like that in itself, but the moment we meet, it's terrible to fail...

Or would you normally make a guy like that an examiner?

"By the way, so what happened to the guy who failed?

"After a while, I took the exam again. Well, they usually failed because of lack of strength.... Originally, you didn't pass the A-rank promotion exam by 3%."

I see. You mean it would have been better not to negotiate because it would have taken me a while to retest after I failed?

But if the opponent is a battle idiot, he can do it.

"I have nothing to apologize for. It's a better condition than taking an exam."

"... are you sure? He rarely recognizes people."

"If the opponent is a battle idiot, we have to do it.... So when will the exam take place?

"It's noon. It's the only time Gilás is coming to this city."

That's a lot of sudden.

Well, as far as I'm concerned, quicker exams are more convenient.

Suppose we wait for the exam while we pray the story makes sense?

hours after the time of the exam.

As we waited at the guild, the entrance door opened.

And with the Alliance Branch Manager, one man comes into the Alliance.

Then... inside the guild, wrapped deliberately.

The gaze of those in the guild is mostly geared towards men.

In the meantime, I was watching a man's magic reaction.

This guy's magic reaction is obviously not the same as the people of this era.

It's awkward, but compared to humans of this age, we're obviously used to manipulating magic.

It's not like the devil tribe is turning into something.

Either that or you're close to an old junior magic fighter.

I have quite a taste in my body.

The crest is the same disqualification as mine.

Could this man be Gilás?

"I came here because I felt like there was a strong demon around here... why am I supposed to do the exam officer?

"There are no other people at the A-rank test level. Otherwise, I won't leave it to you."

My predictions seemed to have been met.

If so, I'm also convinced it's S-rank.

If only one person could handle magic properly in a world where so much magic has declined, it would make a considerable difference in power.

Seeing as he says, "I felt like there was a strong demon," maybe it was detective magic or something, and he was finding the parasitic demon we defeated.

I feel kind of uncomfortable dealing with all that magic.

"Well, whatever. I almost failed the A-rank exam anyway. If I fail right away, I'll save you the trouble."

That's what Gilás looked at this one... and it hardened with a surprised face.

Then he suddenly looks happy and asks the branch manager.

"Hey, you mean the four of us out there who could be taking the exam?

"... yes"

Hearing that makes Gilás look more and more happy.

"Then I'll undo the statement that you failed immediately. I'll give you a serious exam.... you can decide how to do the exam if you want me to, right?

"Oh. If not in an extremely dangerous way, I'll leave it to you, including to decide whether or not to accept"

"Okay.... Thank you."

That's what Gilás is saying. He's approaching us.

Then I pointed to three other people besides me and said:

"First, the three of them there"

"Uh... what is it?

"Weasel, did you do something...?

"Me, fail?

To the confused three, Gilás tells them.

"All pass. You can go home now that your exams are over."

"" Yeah!?

Suddenly three people are told to pass, and they raise their voices of surprise.

Apparently, it didn't fail instantly, it passed instantly.

Where the hell did the statement about taking the exam seriously go?

And the problem is, I'm the only one left...

"I heard Matthias was the strongest.... you fit in with Mathias, huh?

"Oh."

Were you told that way?

I think there are other, more understandable expressions...

Gilás tells me to think about it.

"Fight me. There are two reasons."

"Why?"

"Oh. You'll pass anyway, but if you show me how you fight me, you won't even complain"

Is that it? This guy can talk more than I thought.

Could it be that in the past, you gave out an immediate failure because in an instant, you spotted that the exams lacked strength?

"By the way, what's the other reason?

"Because I fought."

Yeah, this one's what I expected from my previous reputation.

You challenged me to battle from the start. Maybe it saved me the trouble of persuading you.

By the way, if all of a sudden they were about to fail, I was going to challenge Gil 'as to battle from myself.

If the opponent is a combat freak, talking to each other with his fist is a very effective means.

"Okay. What about the place?

"Right...... how big do you want it? I only fight with swords, so the Alliance's training center is enough… I'll have a bigger place if you need it to be serious"

When it comes to the training station...... is it about fifty meters square, behind the guild?

Spacious enough to use, but big enough to fight normally.

"I'm good enough for the training center, too."

"Okay. Let's get started."

That's what Gilás says, opens the door to the guild.

Somehow, I can't wait to fight in the atmosphere.
