Chapter 046. promotion test

On the day of the promotion test.

The exam was done quickly.

Fortunately, Faye succeeded in being promoted in a narrow way after being caught by an exceptionally weak cadet among the cadets in the intermediate class.

Unlike Fei, Dante succeeded in getting promoted quite effortlessly.

Dante was only a neighborhood drum between me and Yuriel, but considering that he was actually a high-level cadet, this was an expected result.

“Whoa! saw?”

“good job.”

The demotion was confirmed, and Dante waved his hand after exchanging greetings with the other cadet who looked like he was chewing sh*t.

Even though the test was over, he sat down and wiped the sweat from his body.

“Aren’t you going?”

“I’m going to watch your game.”

“Look, what are you doing?”

“Just watch.”

“… … .”

“Am I not the only one left?”

The guy looked around and said.

As he said, even though there were only a few tests left, countless spectators were still waiting.

“Yeah. See, no one really goes out. Aren’t they all waiting for you?”

“I guess so.”

Even among the onlookers, there were some instructors who had a day off today.

“Because other people’s work is more fun.”

“Are you doing your job? What are you talking about like someone else?”

The previous sparring ended while they were chatting about each other.

Leaving the bewildered Dante behind, I stood up.

The instructor who noticed this asked.

“Roan. Are you ready?”

He answered by pulling the bandage and wrapping it around his wrist and fingers.

“I will leave as soon as I am ready.”

While I was moderately warming up, the instructor called the list.

They were all intermediate class cadets who sent me to the training ground.

After confirming that everyone had gathered, the instructor continued.

“Originally, training and promotion tests, which are conducted at the request of cadets, have nothing to do with it. However, this was accepted with the consent of Cadet Roan Karziel.”

“If you lose to even one of the 46 people above, the promotion test for Roan will end immediately.”

The instructor turned around and asked.

“Do you agree?”

After getting ready, I climbed onto the gymnasium and gave a rather odd answer.

“Instructor.”

“Something.”

“46 is too many.”

“… what?”

He frowned at once.

He seemed to think that I, now lacking in confidence, might be withdrawing from sparring.

“Withdrawal is impossible. take responsibility… .”

“No. instead.”

“… ?”

Instead of withdrawing, I asked for something else.

Trying to deal with 46 people one by one according to the sparring rules is wasting time.

therefore.

“I want to deal with several people.”

“what?”

“This is the couplet I accepted. You can refuse, but as much as I accepted the offer out of ‘consideration’ for them.”

I think you’ll have some options to decide how to proceed.

That’s what he said.

Leaving behind the instructor who had frozen with a dumbfounded expression, I approached the crowd waiting for my opponent.

“… … .”

“… … .”

They also didn’t say anything, as if they were dumbfounded, but the emotion on their faces was clear.

Because it looked like he was crazy.

More precisely, they seem to think they have been insulted.

Because knights fight 1v1 is common.

“… Roan. Are you really going to deal with multiple people?”

“yes. Enough.”

“… !!!”

The cadets were furious at the word enough.

A clear hostility enters his eyes.

I sighed inwardly at the sight.

Actually, I had no intention of going this far.

It’s not like I’m interested in anything.

I just wanted to be a quiet, talented model student.

But things have changed.

The oracle came down.

I told the future saint woman candidate to give me six months.

In line with the rapidly changing trend, six months later.

I thought about starting to intervene in earnest by revealing that I was the object of the trust with Cale.

‘but… .’

However, I wanted to keep the vampire thing a secret until the end if possible.

The fewer people who know the secret, the sharper the dagger will become.

If you hide it well, you can see the effect in the first raid.

Therefore, this 6 months is the minimum period to secure probability.

without revealing some abilities.

A period to secure the ‘special’ enough to convince me that I am worthy of God’s choice.

Considering my situation as a cadet, the fastest and most efficient way is, of course, bound to be grades.

‘With decent grades, no doubt.’

However, what if the grade of at least Ian is combined with the story of overcoming and growing up from a sickly past?

Finally, a narrative worthy of the protagonist of the trust is created that everyone can recognize.

this is the beginning

He stretched out his finger and pointed to the four people waiting in front.

“?”

When those who were pointed out looked up at me with a bewildered expression.

I nodded my head with an inappropriately provocative expression.

“What are you doing. Everyone come up.”

“… !!”

It’s the first time I’ve tried such a provocation, but fortunately the effect was outstanding.

As soon as they finished speaking, they stood up on the stage with ferocious expressions.

And among them, I saw a familiar face.

“Hmm?”

Buren.

Right after the survival evaluation, the cadet who talked about the possibility of cheating in front of everyone and received a sharp rebuke from Yuriel.

he was staring at me

I noticed something in this and let out a sigh of relief.

I felt uncomfortable because I felt like I was bullying cadets who hadn’t done anything wrong, but I thought it was fortunate.

‘no wonder. Even so, 45 out of 70 was a lot.’

They agreed to immerse one person first, so I won’t be too unfair.

* * *

It took only a minute or so to break down the four that came up vigorously.

Tuk tuk!

After approaching by digging into the blind spot, he struck the unresponsive cadet’s sword.

Caan!!

Buren’s whole body trembled at the sound of metal ringing in his ears.

Soon, he looked down at his empty hands with a pale complexion.

“… lost?”

He muttered in a weak voice as if he had never imagined that the four of them would lose.

After looking at it for a while, he said to the Dalian opponents who were looking at him with a shocked look behind him.

“Come right up when you’re done. I will finish it quickly.”

“… !!”

Words in the same vein as before.

However, their reactions were greatly different due to the influence of the preceding couplets.

It comes up with caution.

However, the fighting spirit was alive as if he did not think that he would lose.

That’s also true, because just before that, the 4 students were relatively low-ranking students in the intermediate class.

one of them said

“You will regret it.”

“… … .”

From noble mtl dot com

They seemed to think that the result would be different if it were them.

It must have been unexpected for them.

“What regrets?”

Hwaaak!!

It smoked deep blue mana.

After deciding not to hide anything other than the vampire’s abilities.

I pushed the cadets by unreservedly displaying my abilities.

Just like that, when only about an hour had passed since the match started.

I asked those who came up with an expression that the world had collapsed without shedding a drop of sweat.

“Are you the last?”

“… … .”

There was no answer coming back.

However, it was evident from their expressions and atmosphere that they were regretting it.

I was worried for a while at the sight.

‘… … .’

Come to think of it, not everyone was like Buren.

Some might have been caught up in the atmosphere and half-forced to join.

‘Was it a bit too much?’

I looked around.

When our eyes meet with Dante in the silent gymnasium, he shakes his head.

do it in moderation

That look opened up a way for me to live.

“Give up… No, if you’re going to stop, that’s fine.”

“… !”

“What you all wanted was proof of my skills. I think this is enough. is not it?”

Was it because it was an unexpected proposal?

They put on a startled expression for a moment, then quickly nodded their heads after realizing the hidden meaning of my words.

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“Maybe this will be enough… ?”

In case I change my words, I mumble and hurry down.

‘then… .’

Now only this test remains.

I turned my head and looked at the ‘original’ opponent who had been waiting for an hour.

At first, I was a cadet in the upper class who watched me sparingly as if I was in a state of disbelief.

“I’m sorry.”

“Uh, huh?”

“I must have waited a long time. Let’s start right away.”

Now, he couldn’t accept the reality that happened in front of his eyes, and he seemed to have lost his mind.

“excuse me?”

“… … .”

“Mmm.”

I looked at the cadet who was bewildered, and asked insinuatingly.

“… Will you stop too?”

“!”

* * *

The senior class cadet asked my suggestion with an expression of what kind of rice cake this is, and my promotion was decided as it was.

That’s how my exam was the last, and this year’s promotion exam and semester ended.

“Disband.”

The instructor destroyed the cadets and left.

“See you later.”

“Ugh.”

After saying goodbye to Dante, who said he would go back to his hometown during vacation, he left the noisy gymnasium.

“Roan.”

Then I turned my head to the sound of someone calling from behind.

Uriel was there.

“I saw you sparring.”

“yes. Are you a competitor now?”

be a competitor

In fact, the first place in the grade is not something to say to a cadet who has just passed the promotion test.

“Are you holding back already?”

“… ?”

“… I’m kidding.”

In the atmosphere, a little chilly because she doesn’t understand the joke.

They were walking side by side in the same direction, and she opened her mouth.

“Actually, I’m here to help.”

“what?”

“Originally, there is a ceremony held as a custom for cadets who have passed the promotion test.”

According to her, originally, she asks new students a lot of naughty questions.

“… ?”

“Because that’s kind of a question.”

“Ah, I understand.”

I could understand right away from Yuriel, who continued with a slightly awkward expression.

Who looks the weakest among the two? It must be something like this.

“Similar. So I was just going to tell everyone to pick me and move on… .”

She glanced back and continued saying that this was the first time this had happened.

“No one thought to ask questions. So naturally, it seems that there is no report ceremony this time.”

“Just do it. If you had asked, I would have told you honestly.”

“… The atmosphere is like that, who would ask?”

Indeed it is.

In the first place, if there is a guy who calmly opens his mouth to hold a ceremony in that atmosphere, he is more of a ignorant guy than a pleasant one.

“… … .”

Anyway, it’s vacation already.

It’s been quite a while since I possessed it, but it feels like it went by in an instant, perhaps because it’s such a dense time.

“really. Are you going to continue our morning training?”

Dante would be able to do it after he went back to his hometown for a while.

“I don’t think so.”

“Do you have a schedule?”

“huh.”

I have a bit of a schedule.

I plan to visit the family once the relationship has been restored.

Now that we have confirmed that Uriel is being targeted, we need to think about what to do next.

Also, as the sujeongweed will soon be gone, you need to look for ingredients to make medicinal herbs.

“And, to go a little farther.”

“Is it like a trip?”

“Similar.”

“… ?”

About one month left.

For my personal growth, I plan to do some mercenary work at this time.

And now it has been confirmed that the corps commanders are targeting Yuriel.

I tried to create an organization made up of my followers.
