Chapter 14: 14

Chapter 14- End-of-term tests begin

As I was preparing for the riding test and reviewing history studies, the month passed by quickly and I found myself on the day of the test.

The normally bustling and noisy classroom is as quiet as a library and a little tense.

They were staring intently at their textbooks and reference books, desperate for anything they could get their hands on.

If they got a red mark on the test, they would have to take a make-up class during the summer vacation. If you don’t make up the score there, you may have to stay in school or even get expelled…..

The most important thing to keep in mind is that you shouldn’t be afraid to ask for help from your friends and family.

There, in large letters, was written “End of Term Tests,” and the timetable was also carefully laid out.

The tests at Flugel-Gakuen are basically written on the first day and practicals on the second and subsequent days. As usual, the first day of the test this time also consisted of magic, history and herbal test.

As I recall, tomorrow is the martial arts test, and the day after tomorrow is the practical training for magic. Because of the knowledge and skills required, the Magical Science test was both written and practical.

Unless the test is very crazy, the written test and the magic test will not be a problem. …… The only thing I’m worried about is the martial arts test, but I’ve thought of a good way to prepare for it. I am well prepared.

I’ve been experimenting and practicing for the past week and that was the culmination of my sweat and toil! while clenching my fists.

As I was secretly reflecting on my past efforts, the chime of the main bell rang.

As I hurriedly put away my textbooks in my bag, a familiar teacher appears through the open door.

Huh? I’m certain that guy is the teacher who was there during the …… ability test, right? I don’t know his name, but I remember his face well.

I had heard that teachers from other grades were assigned to supervise the test, but I didn’t expect to see a teacher I knew.

“As you all know, the first period test is on magic. I’ll now hand out the question and answer sheets in order, so please pass them around backwards with the reverse side still on.”

Holding a large amount of paper in his hand, he hands out question and answer sheets to the number of students in the front row.

I took the two papers that came around in order from the front and put them on my desk with the reverse side still on.

Even though it’s a test on a subject I’m good at, I’m still a little nervous. Let’s review it carefully so that we don’t make any common mistakes! Oh, and I have to be careful not to forget to write my name!

“Don’t let your guard down and lose points!” As I was saying to myself, the test proctor stood on the podium.

He leaned forward a little, his hands on the podium and looked around the classroom.

“You have five minutes to complete the test. Now, let’s begin.”

As if on cue, we all rolled up our papers at once. The sound of the paper fluttering made me even more nervous.

I glanced at the question paper, got all the contents into my head and picked up a pen.

I quickly solved the first question in my mind and wrote my name in the signature line.

There are a lot of basic questions this time, overall. Well, it’s only natural for a first-year student, but I guess I can say that the last question is the hardest one….. Bianca-sensei is quite a devil, asking us to invent new magic. Well, it’s the kind of thing that easily gets partial points, so depending on how you look at it, it might seem like a bonus question.

With the contents of the test completely memorized in my mind’s eye, I scribbled down more and more answers on the answer sheet, not even looking at the question paper.

Fifteen minutes into the test, I had solved almost all the questions and there was only one question left.

I put my pen down on the desk and put my hand on my chin to ponder.

Maybe I should write about the warm-air magic I developed before. It’s a little plain, but it’s proven feasible. This way, there is no danger of losing marks.

My thoughts leaning toward the safe route, I said, “Okay, let’s go with this!” nnd made up my mind.

I reach for the pen on my desk and write the magic circle in the answer column, which takes up about half of the paper.

Then, on the right half of the answer sheet, I wrote down the details of the magic and an explanation of its use.

Then I just need to write a few notes on its use and I’m done. I’m certain Bianca-sensei will be fine, but it’s a little dangerous to activate magic at close range. It won’t kill you, but it will make your hair fly out of your head. As a woman, that’s a matter of life and death in a sense. I’ll have to make it clear.

I put a period at the end of the sentence and put down my pen.

I check the written questions once and then review them in order, starting with the first question. Then I corrected a few spelling mistakes I had discovered and properly checked the name in the signature line.

After repeating this process as many times as time allowed, the test supervisor looked up unexpectedly.

“──── That’s enough. Everyone, put your writing utensils on your desks. I will collect your answer sheets.”

We were declared finished with the test and we all took our hands off our pens and answer sheets at once.

We put our hands on our knees to show that we ‘didn’t do anything.

As the test supervisor took turns collecting the answer sheets, we C class students relaxed our shoulders.

“Hmmm…… What shall I do? The magic formula took up so much of my time that I didn’t get a chance to review it at all.”

“It’s true that the math problems were difficult this time. But the most difficult question was the last one, the writing question.”

“Isn’t it devilish of them to ask us to invent new magic? Who can get a perfect score on this test?”

“I don’t know. I’m certain there’s at least one person. I’m more worried about taking a make-up exam. I definitely don’t want to have to go to school during the summer vacation.”

My classmates, with their unflattering faces, were all talking about test scores and make-up exams.

‘My parents are going to be so mad at me!’ Some students are even despairing before the results come out.

“There were a lot of basic questions this time, but the number of calculation questions was not small,” said one of the students. For those who are not good at calculations, it must have been hell.

Looking at the question papers left in his hand, he smiles bitterly, “I hope no one has to make up the test”.

Aside from the noisy classroom, the test supervisor finished collecting all the answer sheets.

He stands on the podium, holding them carefully so as not to lose them by mistake.

“That’s all for the Magic test. Good luck on the next test.”

The teacher, who greeted the students with a full-throated socially-appealing greeting, quickly left the classroom as if to say, “Don’t stay here too long”.

I watched his back, relaxed my shoulders, and took out my history textbook from my bag.

I take one look at my lively classmates and look through the textbook.

I took the history and herbal tests without incident and successfully completed the first day of the final exam.
