Chapter 159: 155

"It's so lively."

"It's very popular school, is it?"

We arrived at the Academy of Magic, where the examinations were held, and had a casual conversation while looking at the crowd of students who were gathering one after another to take the examinations.

is not really a school that can be described as a "popular school," but it's not something that can be put down with a cheap expression. As a mad scientist, she has a unique sensibility that is slightly different from that of ordinary people. She probably only thinks of the academy as "a place where she can spend time with me and where she can find the best environment for her research. The reason being, she is definitely a big shot because she is willing to take the entrance exam to the Imperial Academy of Magic, which is one of the four most difficult graduate schools in the country.

"Are there at least 1,000 students?"

"Aren't there more?"

I heard a voice behind me and turned to see my beautiful fiancée, the lovely Henriette Lily von Bernstein. She is accompanied by the captain of the guard who was with her the other day. I felt like a noblewoman. In fact, she is the eldest daughter of a duchess.

"Lily!"

"Good morning, Hal. , meir . Did you sleep well last night?"

Iris has recently become much more emotional and expressive. She has always been a child with a lot of feelings, just because she has trouble expressing them openly. Iris' facial muscles must have been strengthened by being surrounded by friends at the academy.

"
I'll do my best for the exam. Thanks for your encouragement".

Yes."

　The four graduate academies . It is the collective name for the four highest education and research centers in the country that exist in the imperial capital. The Academy of Magic, the Academy of Knights, the Academy of Letters and Science, and the Academy of Sacred Arts are the constituent academies of the Four Graduate Schools, all of which are regarded not only at first glance but also by the public as super-elite, ultra-hard to get into, and are regarded by many as the best in the world.

In order to become such a super-elite with a guaranteed future, one must naturally go through a difficult examination that is commensurate with that status.

The average score of all the examinees is less than 20%, but you have to score more than 50% to pass the exam, and the odds are extremely competitive.

The exam consists of two parts, a classroom lecture and a magic subject, each worth 50 points, for a total of 100 points. The practical test consists of 50 points each in basic spells, specialized spells, and combat, for a total of 150 points. The borderline is said to be 125 points out of 0 points. Regardless of whether you are a royalty or a nobleman, or whether one has accumulated a lot of donations, if one does not reach the standard, it is said that the exam will drop you without mercy. It is a terrifying exam that makes students cry.

The subjects that comprise the liberal arts exam are "history, philosophy, arithmetic, and physics. The subjects of the exam on magic are "modern magic theory, magic spells, and magic circle.

----------------------

Classroom studies 100 points (50 points each)

Practical skills 150 points (50 points each)

→Magic (regardless of attributes.) Demonstration)

→Basic spells (activation speed, amount of magic, magic manipulation)

----------------------

I'm going to pass this exam for sure!　I feel like I'm going to pass already!　Hoaaaaaaa〜〜〜〜!!!"

　This is a way to relax, which I can't do when I'm anxious that I might fail. If I don't do this, I might become over-enthusiastic and stiff, so a certain amount of goofing around is necessary.

"You two are in the magical studies department, aren't you? I'm in the magical research department, so I'm glad to know that combat scores are low."

"I'm sure you'll get higher marks for magic and classroom study instead. Do your best."

"I can beat anyone in terms of classroom study and engineering spells."

"In fact, that's why Meir is so great. ......"

She has been in touch with techniques such as forging, engineering, and alchemy for almost eight years now. Her engineering spells are far beyond those of a top-notch craftsman working on the front lines.

'I'm as good as anyone in terms of overall score.'

"Me, too."

　We headed for the large lecture hall where the exam was to take place and looked for our seats. The large lecture hall was not yet full, but several hundred students had already taken their seats and were frantically working on their final review, a scene that could be described as the scene at a difficult school.

"Well then, I'll see you later."

"Okay."

"I'll be in the other room."

　May was taking the exam in a different classroom because she was taking it in a different department.

"Let's all pass together."

"Oooh!"

With a last burst of enthusiasm, everyone dispersed to their respective seats.

 

　Lily bows with her white skirt fluttering open. She was looking very elegant as usual, and her beauty was especially highlighted. The people around me who are in love with Lily are staring at me like I'm a bitch.

"I was working on a prototype weapon with a new metal material that I had been working on all night for two days until the day before yesterday, and before I knew it, I must have fallen asleep and slept for 13 hours after a long time!"

"I usually get about 8 hours ......"

I'm sure there's only one person in the whole wide world who sleeps for 13 hours right before the exam, after all, she's been absorbed in the research activities that are her hobby and her purpose in life. Why don't she do a little revision for the exam?

"Well, the exam questions didn't seem to be that difficult from what I saw before, so as long as I'm careful about making careless mistakes, I should be fine."

"I envy you that kind of leeway."

 

"But when it comes to the actual entrance examination for the academy, it's a different story. It's really a hassle.'

" being a Noblemen is troublesome, isn't it?"

　As Lily said, we can't just pass. The nobles have a sense of honor, so we have to work as hard as we can to get the best grades possible, and if possible, to be at the top of the class. It is a real hassle.

"That's why Lily, "I'm not going to let you down. I won't lose."

"Oh, I won't lose either."

"I'll take it easy."

I felt bitter about this difference in temperature.

 

　　　　　　　　She was just under 160 centimeters tall, about the same height as me. Her build is average, not that physically fit, but not particularly skinny either. Her hair was a purplish-blue, slightly curly bob cut, and her eyes were half-lidded in an unwilling, half-awake, jittery look.

"Iris!"

"Good morning. Good luck with your exams."

　Iris, who is one year older than us in terms of age, had already passed the entrance exam last year and was attending Academy of Magic as a senior student. She has been featured many times in the Academy's press, which is published outside of the Academy, and is looked upon with admiration by students who are applying to the Academy of Magic.

'You are very popular, aren't you?"

"The "too much attention is tiring because you always have to be aware of what people are looking at. It's not a bad feeling to be recognized like this, even by .......'"

"You're not being honest."

MU."

..".... young man."......

　Iris pulls her cheeks from side to side. It's not necessarily zero, but it's quite rare for her to get this kind of skinship from me.

I wonder if she missed me for not seeing me for a while?"

　Iris was amused when I told her this while grabbing and releasing her hand that was tugging on my cheek and holding it as it was.

"Iris was amused and dismayed.　No, it's not like that."

"Ha ha ha!　Iris is very nervous, it's rare!"

"!"
