I Possessed The Villain’s Childhood Friend

50 – Final Exams – 1

“Ike. The answer to this question is ‘no’.”

“Yes. Thank you.”

It’s been a little over a month since I’ve been comfortable with Raina and other people.

Although the crown prince declared that there would be no problems, he could not, of course, not be completely worried.

And as expected, a bit of a scandal started to spread in Arcana.

I seduced Reina.

Raina straddled her legs.

The Crown Prince is being threatened by Reina, etc.

The prince doesn’t think Reina is of her opposite s*x, though the same truth is mixed in.

Anyway, such scandals spread quickly.

Still, Sophia, Helen, and Atal were only surprised, fortunately they didn’t think of us as strange.

“Reina. If there is a difference in content between ‘All the History of the Aether Continent’ and the textbook, it would be correct to match the textbook, right?”

“It doesn’t matter either way. The professor is also aware of that part, and he said that the correct answer is not clearly defined, but that it is a difference in interpretation.”

“How do you know what part I am talking about?”

“Because I wanted to read it too, so I bought another one separately. Aren’t you talking about page 237?”

“… That’s right.”

And it must have been about two weeks.

At some point, no one brought up such a story in Arcana.

There may be people who secretly talk about it behind the scenes, but at least those things have stopped coming to me and Reina.

Let me be surprised by that fact.

‘Didn’t I say that? It’ll be fine.’

The prince shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

Of course, that didn’t change the distance between me and Reina much.

The relationship between the two of us was always childhood friends.

“That part is wrong, Ms. Sophia. The Martires Church holds a very important place in the Empire, but they do not force their faith. That’s why there are no liberal arts classes related to Arcana.”

“Exactly, it’s gone. Because it was once classified as a major. Well, it’s a very old story.”

“Ugh.”

When I looked away, Sophia was holding her head and bowing her head.

Her head seemed dizzy from the non-stop infusion of knowledge from both sides.

But it can’t be helped.

She herself asked Reina and the prince to teach her studies.

You’ll have to deal with it on your own.

I prayed lightly in my heart.

I hope she can endure it to the end even if it is difficult.

“Young master Ike. Why is the appearance of the Witchbeast considered the greatest turning point in the history of the Empire? I know that friendship with the kingdom of Sumel had the biggest impact.”

“This is because exchanges with the kingdom of Sumel were practically felt only by nobles. However, the appearance of the Witchbeast started with a clear definition of the profession of a knight, and overturned all areas of the empire, such as distribution, status, and economy.”

“I mean, how big of an impact it has is what matters.”

“Yes.”

We were all studying together at the library.

The people gathered today are Reina and I. They were Sophia, Atal, and the crown prince.

Helen said she had a prior appointment, and after her class, she disappeared right away.

Probably because of Dalian.

The final exams are just around the corner.

Fortunately, supplementation ended last week, so I had plenty of time to review.

The problem was that since the midterm exam was taken together, the scope of the exam was beyond imagination.

Of course, the professors said that the test itself was easy to do, but the fact that the scope of study increased in the end did not change.

Originally, they would have studied individually.

‘Raina. Can you teach me your studies?’

However, because of Sophia’s request, she gathered like this and studied.

As for the basic framework, Reina and the prince taught Sophia the difficult politics and etiquette classes.

Me, Atal, and Helen studied next to him and asked each other when there were weak points.

I was strong in history, Atal was strong in etiquette, and Helen was strong in economy.

And Sofia’s role was to prepare snacks to be eaten in between.

But if this happens, the crown prince, who was the top of the entrance exam, and Reina, who was the second place, won’t have time to study on their own.

‘It’s okay because I feel like I’m learning while teaching Ms. Sophia.’

‘Because I’m studying enough after this.’

A genius-like answer came back to my worries.

Anyway, for this reason, the meeting continued.

“… I think I’m screwed.”

Sophia let out a sigh as she put the cookie in her mouth.

It was her lamentation that she has become accustomed to seeing after every meeting.

“The range to memorize is so wide that I can’t remember it.”

To be honest, I completely agreed with that statement.

Arcana takes a total of 4 lectures in its major, and also takes a separate exam.

And in her culture, there are tests of history, politics, economy, and etiquette.

That is. There are actually 8 tests we have to take.

In addition, there is a separate practice test for majors, so you will actually take 9 tests.

Of course, in the case of the practice exam, I hardly needed to study separately.

Anyway, there are 8 subjects to study, but the test range was too wide.

Of course, it is true that I have to supplement as much as I have rested, but with so many, my motivation is reduced and it is difficult to memorize.

“… I hope the test is over soon.”

At the last words of Sophia, me and Atal. Unexpectedly, even Reina and the prince nodded.

Just like that, time passed, and the final exams began.

“Ha ha.”

It’s the second day since the final exams started.

In this way, all the liberal arts exams are over.

“Do you think the results are okay?”

The one who approached me while sighing was Raina, who first handed in the answer sheet and left the classroom.

“I think my score will be lower than when I entered the school.”

“Yes. Because it was difficult overall this time.”

“Reina, what about you?”

“… Well.”

I could tell by the subtle smile she avoided answering.

Reina’s test results didn’t change much from when she entered school.

Of course, she had no intention of saying anything else about it.

Because I expected it from the beginning.

“Come to think of it, what about other people?”

“I went to the auditorium first.”

“Really?”

I skipped the subject of the story lightly.

“Are you both here?”

At the auditorium, students of different grades were gathered.

The white line on the left is for first graders.

The silver line in the center is for the second year.

The golden line on the right was a third grader.

Of course, Reina and I stood in the left row, where Sophia and the Crown Prince greeted us together.

“What about Atal and Miss Helen?”

“Atal-sama is in the front over there, and Helen said she had business to do, so she was away for a while.”

Sophia, who was having the hardest time before the final exams, looked better than I thought.

When I heard the story yesterday, I laughed and said that my grades would be good.

As expected, if you learn from both the senior and secondary seats at the same time, will your skills improve?

I should have asked Reina too.

“Today’s exam is….”

“Quiet!”

As I was about to continue my conversation lightly, a voice rang out from the podium.

The owner of the voice was Dean Ender.

We stopped our small talk and looked at each other.

The auditorium, which had been noisy until just now, was enveloped in complete silence.

Dean Ender looked around the auditorium for a moment, then nodded slightly, as if satisfied with the scene.

“Half of the final exams have passed, and the end of the first semester is approaching. Earlier this year. There were unfortunate things, but fortunately, the result of everyone’s efforts, including you….”

Something is strange.

It seemed like I wasn’t the only one who had that thought.

Reina and the prince too.

Especially from the seniors in the 2nd and 3rd years who were gathered to the right of us, I could definitely feel that kind of sign.

Practical examination of majors.

The topic is announced in the auditorium after the liberal arts exam.

Basically, the goal was to find out the student’s performance, so it wasn’t very difficult.

For example, when I saw Sophia whose standard major was magic in the original work.

The subject of the practice test during the midterm exam in the first year was the C-class magic numbers that can be used.

I’m sure it must have been.

“Nevertheless, we must move forward. Because nothing can be gained by turning your back and running away. We have the talent and the skills to do that.”

If I remember correctly, there was no scene where Dean Ender came out and gave a speech during the practice exam.

Simplely, when the students gathered to a certain extent, the topic was attached to the front and it was over.

“… The words are long. The contents of the major practice test of the final exam of this year’s first semester are simple.”

Dean Ender took a moment to catch his breath before opening his mouth.

“The subject of the test is sparring.”

With those words at the end, Dean Ender got off the podium and left leisurely.

No one of the students remaining in the auditorium moved.

As if time stopped.

“What are you talking about?”

But when someone said that, everyone was confused.

“Um, why is everyone doing that?”

Except for Sophia, who doesn’t know the situation.

★

“Dalian.”

Dean Ender’s words were very literal.

The result was determined by competing against the opponent and winning.

Dalyeon itself was not unfamiliar to the students.

In the first place, in Arcana, there is a separate time for sparring during major practice.

Because there were cases where, like Helen and I, we personally set aside time for sparring.

But the reason everyone was confused this time was simple.

Until now, sparring had never been used as a practice test in Arcana.

Unless all students compete against each other, sparring cannot evaluate their ability.

But there are around 80 students. Considering the difference in majors, it was practically impossible for around 40 students to sparring with each other.

Because I don’t have enough time.

I couldn’t understand it because everyone knew it.

However, just 3 sparring sessions determine the performance of the practice test.

It was also random without considering the difference in skill with the opponent.

For the students who were preparing similarly to the practice they had been doing so far, it was like a thunderbolt in the dry sky.

Many students who were dissatisfied with this went directly to Dean Ender to make suggestions.

‘If the assailant who broke into Arcana came back again, would you guys say that? Ask for multiple chances. I’m weaker than you, so look at me.’

With these words, it is said that they sent everyone back.

“Hmm.”

To be honest, I was more comfortable this way.

Swordsmanship majors study almost all weapons that can be practically used.

Because the sword is the most chosen among them, it is only called swordsmanship.

So, if I were asked to show off all the weapon skills I had learned so far in the practice test, to be honest, I wasn’t confident.

So I wanted to be genuinely happy that this happened.

“Really.”

Looking at the note with the names of my opponents, I sighed.

Helen Oberon.

Reina Rogelia.

Leon Aegis Astraia.

This really feels like it’s full of malice.

Maybe not.

My head was pounding.
