46 – Chapter 16. Fools and Trials and Relics – 3

– 47 –

After repeating reading and writing all weekend, Monday has arrived.

Monday’s practical test is an ancient language and practical manners.

I headed to the ancient language class with Cermia.

It was an hour before the exam time, but quite a lot of students were filling up the seats.

Everyone’s eyes were on us as we entered.

It’s a face everyone knows.

Most of them were children who were taking my special lectures in ancient languages, but they all started to get up after seeing me.

“Erif. Please check your pronunciation.”

“Me too.”

Children rushed in.

Clarice, who was crouching in the back, was concerned, so they went forward and reviewed the words together.

Children were busy memorizing words by cramming at the last minute.

However, the amount of memorizing words is much less than memorizing words in the Holy Kingdom, so what is the test?

The bell rang during the break, and a few minutes later, the teacher came in.

“Everyone. Today’s practical skills will be seen one by one in the empty classroom next door. I will call them in the order they are written here. Please do not leave anything in the classroom and follow me.”

The teacher put a piece of paper on the blackboard, and the names were listed in the order of class and student number.

Chermia and I were in Class A, so we had to take the exam fairly early.

I have a practical lesson next time, it’s good.

My classmates left for the next class and never came back.

Is there a command for the test?

“Student of Cermia Seine.”

“Yes.”

Chermia followed her teacher to the next classroom, and the remaining students began to study hard.

“Erif Cruel Student.”

And finally my turn.

I grabbed my bag and followed the teacher.

When I entered the next classroom, all the desks were arranged behind the classroom except for the two facing each other in the center.

The teacher sitting at one of the desks smiled and offered her a seat.

“Miss Erif. I’ll take the test quickly. I don’t have much time.”

In 45 minutes, about 20 people had to take the test, so it took about 2 minutes at most.

“Actually, Miss Erif doesn’t even need to take the exam, but she has to keep her record.”

The teacher pulled something out of her from under her desk.

This is the model tank I saw in the operator class.

I accepted the paper the teacher gave me as I received the greetings from the lower spirits.

“You can tell this machine what is written on the paper.”

“[[Forward]] [[Reverse]] [[Stop]] [[Aim Left]] [[Aim Right]]”

Looking at the model train moving quickly according to my words, I said all the words in 10 seconds and handed the machine to the teacher.

“As expected, Miss Erif… ….”

The teacher recorded the number written on the machine with a look of admiration.

I took a peek and saw that ‘0’ was written on it.

I think it was a tool to measure the mana consumed.

“You can go now. Don’t stop by the classroom. The next test is also fighting.”

“Thank you.”

I left the teacher’s building after being seen off by the teacher.

Chermia, who was waiting at the entrance, waved her hand and approached.

“How was it?”

“It was fine.”

“Then what do you have left?”

“Next time, practice etiquette and write liberal arts tomorrow.”

“We’re looking at basic maintenance, but don’t you use mana?”

“Yes. Instead, at the end of the year, there is an event that breaks the magic school kids.”

“What kind of event did you do?

“I don’t know. The teacher did.”

He moved quickly while talking to Chermia.

I had to go and prepare in advance because it was not easy to watch the practical lesson of the practice method, which is just after the ancient language.

“I hope you have some decent clothes today.”

He nodded her head to Chermia’s self-talk and gave her a smirk.

At least, the practice of the ancient language was finished quickly, so I’m sure I’ll be able to secure some decent clothes.

Practical Martial Arts Act is a class established because most of the students attending the military academy are nobles, and even if they are not nobles, there is a possibility that they will rise to a position high enough to deal with nobles in the future.

Like a manners class, the teacher was strict and the class was difficult.

Coming here, I came to know that the etiquette I learned from the peasant had only a minimal assortment.

It is difficult to learn etiquette in uniform or active wear, so borrow clothes from the dressing room next to the classroom before class.

The school, which is wary of revealing differences in student status or capital, is providing clothes of a similar level.

The problem is that some clothes are worn or wrinkled after several years of use, and there are clothes that have more frills attached to them because the students of the sewing club arrange them at will.

I have a small body, so there are few competitors, but since Cermia is average height and average body type, there were many rivals who were looking for decent clothes.

In the meantime, because of the ancient language class, I was always deprived of clothes by the kids who didn’t attend the full time class, but today, the practical skills ended early, so I might be able to secure some decent clothes.

When I entered the dressing room, there were already quite a few students.

Chermia began to pick her clothes for her size with her hawk eyes.

I picked up suitable clothes with a lot of spare time and changed into the fitting room.

Today, even light makeup and accessories are allowed.

I was a complete stranger to such a field, so I was caught by Chermia and received a simple make-up.

“I did it, but it went very well. Is it because the original version is so good?”

When Chermia reflected in the mirror, there was a figure of me, slightly blushed and with pearls resembling the color of her hair, on her head.

Long time no see, pretty girl mode.

“Erif. Let’s go.”

“Yes.”

Cermia, who wore pretty splendidly remodeled clothes and put on a lot of make-up, and I, dressed in a modest dress, headed to the classroom where the practical art practice will be held.

Dr.

When I opened the door, there were quite a few students in a large classroom decorated like a party hall.

It was a military academy with a high proportion of male students, but there was no significant difference in the proportion of males and females because it was a formality class.

The eyes of children are focused on us.

When Chermia, a formidable beautiful girl, even wears her dress, her admiration is bound to come out.

Cermia, who casually accepted the gazes of male students, as well as the gazes of jealousy mixed with envy, looked great.

But why is that gaze on me?

Chermia covered me in front of me as if to protect it.

“Anyway… ….”

Chermia, making a slight impression on her, found her classmates occupying a corner of her.

“Chermia, Erif. Come on.”

The class president – forgot his name – greeted us at the beginning of the semester, helping the teacher and becoming the class president as expected.

She wears glasses so thick that she can’t see well, so she looks like a schoolboy, but she said that she was the son of a very high-ranking military family.

“Everyone is well dressed.”

“Because scores are important.”

Chermia casually accepted the flattery of a male student, and I did not have such skills, so I responded appropriately.

“You are well dressed too.”

“Huh, huh?”

Seeing the visibly bewildered male student, he called for joy inside.

If you’re going to be so shy, you shouldn’t have praised others recklessly.

However, the reaction around it was a little strange.

There were children who were talking while looking at me, and the male student who was hit by the counter hesitated and bowed her head.

And Chermia looked back at me and couldn’t keep her mouth shut.

“Why?”

At my question, Chermia let out her long sigh and shook her head.

“No. I just thought I was unconscious.”

I was seriously thinking about what I was talking about when the bell rang to start the break.

During the exam period, it was common for teachers to come in advance to prepare, so most of the children had arrived.

I saw the children in the back class, who were listening to the ancient language with us, hurriedly ran down the hallway to the dressing room.

Well, here again, the turn will come later, and the teacher wasn’t the one who didn’t understand that.

But it’s not that I don’t understand the urgency.

Just in time, the teachers came in, and again, the paper written in the order of class and class number was attached to the blackboard.

“Come on. Some of the students who have taken the exam in the previous class may not have been able to come, so I will start explaining when everyone gets together.”

The teacher, dressed in a neat suit, said while fixing her one-eyed glasses.

He looked around the students and stroked his mustache.

“Everyone is nicely decorated. Today is a simple practical exercise, so let’s not be nervous.”

“Yes.”

All the students gathered before the bell rang for the start of class, and the practice of practical manners began.

“…… After taking her left foot back half a step, she covered her chest with her right hand and bent her back with her left hand stretched out to the side…….”

Proceed with the task given to me by repeating the greeting method in my mouth.

The situation is how to greet the royal family wearing a dress or suit rather than a military uniform.

It is sharp, but not hard, but soft.

The etiquette teacher always emphasized it, but it was not as easy as it sounds.

The male teacher wearing monoclear glasses and the female teacher in a suit were watching each and every move of the students including me with sharp eyes.

I wanted to raise my eyes and watch the teachers’ reactions, but even that could be a deduction factor, so I put up with it and slowly stood up.

The teachers wrote something on the scoreboard they were holding, and then held up a piece of paper with the next situation on them.

See how to pour tea?

I think I just mentioned it and moved on.

I suppressed the urge to rip my hair out and pulled out as much of the content from my memory as possible.

Students who greeted each other in turn went behind the screen and started pouring tea.

In the end, until my turn came, I couldn’t recall any plausible memories and went into the screen crying, and I just poured the car away like water.

“I’m going to drink tea or water, do I need to be polite?”

“You took a class to learn that.”

He took a deep breath and left the school building at the words of a girl in the same class.

“Still, you greeted me well.”

I felt a little more at ease with Cermia’s comfort.

“If you just do it tomorrow, it’s really over.”

“Hey. It’s a holiday from Thursday, so I need to get ready to go play.”

“Looking at your report card, I think your parents will come to catch you right away.”

After a moderate mix of chattering classmates, she came out with Chermia.

“Chermia. Are you going to do basic maintenance and operator major classes tomorrow?”

“Yes. I practiced a lot.”

Chermia, she says, after signing a tentative contract with Sila, she can see even her lesser spirits blurry, and thanks to her mastery of her elemental language, she manages to communicate.

According to the twins, they flew around the fortress during operator training.

“I just need to look at the liberal arts writing tomorrow.”

“Is it okay to write?”

Cermia seemed worried about her wretched Korean language skills on the first day of her exams.

She then raised her arm and showed her interpreter bracelet to Chermia.

“No problem.”

“Hmm.”

Chermia has yet to lift her suspicions.

I did not have to worry at all because I had prepared a secret number.

You should be surprised later by getting a good practical score.

And finally, the final exam, liberal arts writing time.

A teacher with a good personality, but suspected of carrying a sleeping beast as a workhorse, entered the classroom.

He held a test paper in his arm.

“Come on, everyone. Paint colorfully on this test paper what you have learned in the last half semester!”

The useless and elegant way of expression is clearly his taste.

I accepted the test paper with a slight smile, thinking that the method I prepared would work well.

“A poem about war or two pages of editorial”

Oh. Uneasy.

But the number of my spleen will work just as well.

I adjusted the interpreter bracelet to pretend to be touching my wrist.

The function of interpreting the ancient language and the Selmeyer Kingdom language in real time has been switched to the function of ‘interpretation’.

That means,

“A two-legged beast bearing the sins of the past. Their struggles cause sorrow like hahahahae on this planet…….』

It was the sound of being able to write down my ancient language skills as it is.

I wrote the poem happily and so happily without even trying to hide the smile that was leaking out.

And the results were terrible.

Wednesday the day after the exam, a piece of paper stuck in the hallway became the darkest history of my life.

Writing Manor – Poetry Category : Erif Cruel

“Wow. I didn’t know that Erif could write like this.”

“You use very difficult expressions. I don’t even recognize half of it.”

“This poem deals with the horrors of war, but also the attitude to protect the people and the royal family by carrying out it from the point of view of us as cadets… ….”

I couldn’t raise my head to hear the voices of my friends talking in the classroom.

How did I do that…….

Who came up with the crazy idea of putting the first place in the hallway in the first place?

Of course, I would be a liberal arts writing teacher!

Cermia and Shane only comforted them with bitter smiles.

In the future, try to bring up the literary expression of the ancient language again.

I’d rather just live like a fool.

I received a written report card distributed by the homeroom teacher at the closing time.

“… ….”

I wanted to throw it in the face of Curst, but the grades in the subjects I took on the first day were terrible.

Let’s execute the plan when it comes to practical performance.

“Come on. Everyone worked hard for the exam. It is a four-day holiday starting tomorrow. Don’t get too relaxed and enjoy your time.”

“Yes!”

“At least I’m not wearing a uniform if I feel like there’s going to be a problem.”

The children laughed out loud at the teacher’s joke.

After the closing time, she returned to the dormitory with her friends to spend the rest of the time.

And the first holiday since entering school began.
