Chapter 5: 5 05"Builders Gakuen Entrance Examination"

It seems that I've mistakenly gotten mixed up with the Hero Department's entrance exam.

While I was trying to figure out what was going on, Professor Farnese quickly explained the test.

The rules are simple!　It's a battle royale with everyone in the room!　The time limit is one hour!　The field is the entire old school building on your right!　The field is the entire old school building on your right! The school building has been specially warded, so you can unleash your fancy magic on it!　--All right!　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.　I'm not sure what to do with it.　I'm not sure what to make of that.

""Yes!

Everyone replied in a loud voice except maybe me.

She was a hot woman with fiery hair. She reminded me of the Spartan education I received at the institution.

As I moved away from the hustle and bustle of the old school building, I called out to another attendant who was nearby.

"Hey, I'd like to join the general education program at .......

"Hmm?　What, you're scared now?　Don't worry!　All of us here are kids your age!　It's not that far off in ability. If you're going to give up on ......, you might as well take a shot at it!　Hahahaha!

No... He's not listening to me at all.

I gave up and headed for the old school.

Just because you take the entrance exam doesn't necessarily mean you'll become a hero.

In the worst case, you can fail the exam on purpose, and when you pass it, you can move to the regular course. Since there is no examination for the regular course, it should be possible to transfer from the heroic course to the regular course.

The old school building that I was taken to was a ruin with cracks all over the place.

It seemed a bit risky to act out here, but as Farnese said, there were wards in place to prevent the building from collapsing. This would prevent the building from collapsing during the exam.

I arrived at the hallway on the fourth floor of the school building and leaned against the wall to wait.

Each of the students took a position where he or she felt comfortable fighting. The corridor, which is narrow and attracts a lot of attention, is unpopular, and I can't see anyone but myself. Most of the students seemed to be gathered in the auditorium connected to the first floor of the school building or in the gymnasium on the second floor.

It looks like everyone is in place.

A few minutes after entering the old school building. A few minutes after entering the old school, I heard Dr. Farnese's voice coming from somewhere.

In the old school building, there are magic tools called 'farsightedness mirrors' everywhere. We, the teachers of the school, will monitor your movements through these 'farsighted mirrors' and decide whether you pass or fail the exam. Incidentally, killing an opponent or over-aggressive attacks after a victory or defeat has been decided will be considered foul play. We'll be monitoring you as well, so be careful.

He turned his attention to the corner of the stairs beside him.

There was a mirror discreetly placed there.

This would be the farsighted mirror. The judges were apparently looking into the old school building through this mirror.

...... is creepy. What?

You vomit unconsciously.

This "farsighted mirror" is often used to monitor facilities.

You can find a number of these in the marketplace, and you can find a number of them in the marketplace, and you can find a number of them in the marketplace, and you can find a number of them in the marketplace, and you can find a number of them in the marketplace.

However, this is a tool that was also used by the Demon Lord and his subordinates.

There were a huge number of farsightedness mirrors installed in the Majin's and the Demon Lord's castles.

Because of my position, I have always avoided being reflected in them, and the thought of exposing my unprotected form to a farsighted mirror now causes ...... a reaction of rejection.

That's why I hate windows and mirrors.

Although it is a little troublesome, I often use the surface of the water instead of a mirror to check my appearance. This morning, I woke up at the inn, filled the bathroom with water, looked at my reflection in the water, and removed my eyes.

"And so... the test begins!

The battle was about to begin.

I immediately heard footsteps coming from all directions, but no one was approaching me yet.

--Now, what to do?

As I was waiting for the time to pass, I heard small footsteps coming from a distance.

--A student is coming up the stairs.

--He hadn't noticed me yet.

It's not a bad idea to hide in the classroom, but I don't know if they'll leave right away.

I don't have a choice. I approached the stairs without making a sound.

Just as he finishes climbing the stairs and turns the corner, I turn the corner too.

For a moment. The distance between us is only a few centimeters.

"What?

Sorry.

I guess he didn't think that the enemy was approaching this close.

He was so surprised that he didn't react quickly enough, and I fired a palm strike at him. When I hit the boy in the tail, he groaned and fell to the floor.

I'm aware that I'm doing something immature.

But I'm a professional fighter. I feel ...... guilty about what I'm doing with a group of amateurs.

From the window in front of the stairs, I look toward the auditorium, which is directly connected to the school building.

There was a large hole in the roof of the auditorium through which we could observe what was going on inside. The students were having a fierce battle inside the auditorium.

--The students of the Heroic Department are very good at using magic.

How to use magic power--magic.

In the body of a person, there is an energy called magic power, and if it is used correctly, it can cause a variety of supernatural phenomena. In battles against the demon king and his demons, this magic has become a weapon and shield for mankind.

For example, the Fireball is a remote-shooting spell. This is considered to be the most popular magic, and its effect is simple and straightforward: it shoots fireballs. The "Protection" spell that covers the old school is a fixed-point spell. Its effect is to protect the target from deterioration, such as damage or deterioration. If you are a student of the Heroic Department, you are probably familiar with this magic. Therefore, they are not afraid of the school building collapsing, and are running wild to the fullest.

The number of students taking the exam is about a thousand. ......

The number of students who took the entrance examination was about a thousand.

And the admission quota for the hero department is set at one hundred.

In the event you're not sure what to do, you can always ask your doctor.

"...... Good. Let's take down five.

Let's assume that the average number of students who beat ten students will pass the exam.

In my case, I don't need to pass because I want to be a member of the regular course. However, I feel that retiring early would make me look bad, so I'll take a break and kill five. After that, you can think about what to do depending on the situation. In any case, a half-hearted result will be less impressive than an extreme result.

Four to go.

Looking for the other students, I went down to the third floor. 　

"Four more.

--I was still the best fighter in the village.

The boy reminisced about the past as if he were looking at a running lantern.

In the countryside of the kingdom. It was because of the influence of his family and friends that the boy, who grew up in a small village in the middle of nowhere, applied to the Heroic Department of the Builders Academy.

"I know you'll pass.

"Be confident. You are much stronger than most knights.

My family and friends never doubted that I would pass.

I'm not really aware of it, but it seems that I have a different power than others.

It is true that during the War of Heroes and Demons, I defended the village all by myself. I defeated the oncoming army of demons many times. However, not knowing the outside world, I don't know if this is something that should really be praised.

In order to find out, he decided to take the entrance exam for the Heroic Department.

--I was naive.

Somewhere in my heart, I must have been harboring a shallow dream.

I had been living in a small village until now, so I didn't notice it, but in fact, I had faint hopes that I would be incredibly strong. He passed the hero course with ease, received the same education as the fourth generation of heroes, and was eventually selected as a knight in the national guard for his abilities.

--The success story that I had envisioned was now easily disrupted.

"Huh!

Right in front of me, a man who was taking the same exam as me retired.

I don't really know what happened to the student. I thought he let out a short scream, but the next moment he was on the ground.

He was the one with whom the boy was temporarily working.

On the way to the examination hall, they had recognized each other from their clothes and manners as countrymen, and had become friends.

Let's pass the exam together!

The friend with whom I had laughed like that just dropped out of the exam right in front of me.

"Oh, ......?

A pitiful voice came out of me in fear.

In the corner of my vision, I faintly saw a black shadow.

The shadow approached for a moment. Immediately after noticing it, my friend's consciousness was reaped.

--He must still be close.

But there were no footsteps.

No sign of him.

Like a ghost, he disappeared.

Fear rather than the will to fight in the face of an unknown enemy. Both my legs were shaking.

"There, there, there!

At some distance away, another student shouted and released a spell.

It's a remote fireball spell.

Apparently, he had seen what the ghost had done earlier. The student continued to shoot fireballs at the place where he thought the ghost was.

At first glance, it looks like a futile move, but the man is on his toes.

The reason why he is shouting and firing the fireball in confusion is probably a trap. He's trying to make an opening so that the ghost can attack. He's trying to end it with a counter.

But the next moment.

The man is suddenly sucked up to the ceiling before he can speak.

I see him for a moment.

There was a thin steel thread wrapped around his body.

The man was lifted up by the thread and immediately melted into the darkness of the ceiling and disappeared. A few moments later, the man's body fell to the floor with a thud. He was already unconscious. --Once again, the ghost has reaped what it sowed.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

The boy let out a yell and let the magic in his body flow into his palm.

The magic power solidified into the shape of a sword and settled in the boy's hand.

The golden sword was well received in the village as "like a holy sword used by a hero. Not only does it look good, but it also performs well. With this sword, which can cut through rocks like butter, the boy has defeated many demons.

He swings the sword haphazardly. A huge shockwave was released just by that.

It blew away all the debris in the area and dust filled his vision in an instant.

Even a ghost would have stopped dead in his tracks. Run while you can. I don't think I'm going to win any time soon.

Turning on his heel, the boy heads for the stairs.

A moment later...

"What?

Something caught his foot in front of him.

It was like a vaguely glowing thread. When the thread touched the boy's foot, it snapped, and instantly his foot exploded.

A fixed-point magic "Bomb Trap".

The boy immediately realized the true nature of the force that had blown him away.

But even if he realized, it was too late to prevent it.

The ghost must have been expecting him to escape from the start. That's why there was a trap on the path leading to the stairs. I was just rolling in the ghost's hands.

I was hit hard by the explosion and rolled around on the floor.

I couldn't move my body as I wanted to. My whole body was in extreme pain.

I fell to the floor and moaned. The ghost walked up to me.

"Oh, tell me, ...... is it only people like you who get into the heroic department, ......?

I couldn't see his face clearly because of the dust.

I could only barely make out the dark hair and eyes.

The ghost looked down at me with bored eyes and replied.

I don't know. I'm going into the regular course.

I'm going into the regular course.

Immediately after hearing this answer, the boy's consciousness was lured into darkness.

--That's ridiculous.

Tears well up in the corners of his eyes.

--Even someone so strong can't be a normal student.

Just before his consciousness faded.

The boy smiled to himself.

--Let's go back to the village.

--I didn't deserve this dream of joining the Builders' Academy.

He realized his mistake.

Then the boy's consciousness fell.

Later.

Later.

A rumor spread among the people of the Builders' Academy.

--The Kuro Ghost. 　

The source of the rumor was the students who took the entrance exam for the Heroic Department.

The ghost would creep up on them without a sound, and the moment they noticed it, their consciousness would be cut off.

Of course, it is not a ghost, but one of the students who took the exam, but no one saw his face because they could not detect his presence at all until just before their consciousness was cut off. Hence, a ghost. It was an unidentified person who may or may not be there.

Some of the students that the black ghost had defeated had been highly regarded by the teachers at the school.

For example, there was a simple boy who grew up in the countryside of the kingdom.

He had grown up in a small village and was a bit out of touch with the world, but during the war, he had single-handedly defended his village from an oncoming demon. In addition, he had the uncommon ability to kill high-ranked demons living in the neighborhood as a "hunt".

At the time of the application screening, the teachers at the school all said that the boy would pass the test when they saw his background.

That boy was defeated by a black ghost.

With a deep scar on his heart.

After the examination, the boy returned to his village without joining the regular course.

A teacher at the school was curious and went to talk to him about the black ghost.

I don't think it was even a contest. It was just a simple, uncomplicated defeat. ...... Will you try again next year?　No, I won't. I have realized that I should be holding a hoe rather than a sword. ...... I think there are a lot of students like that this year.

The boy is said to have said this while plowing the field.
