There Is No Spring in the Stolen Field

63. test

As the exams approached, more and more information about our party was accumulated.

The homeroom teacher’s feedback flowed similarly after the first class.

It seems a waste to build Seria on defense.

Leon seems to need to develop his individual skills a bit more.

Mainly those words came and went.

Kairin persistently took advantage of the homeroom teacher’s gap and tried to ask personal questions, but he was easily dodged.

What he asked me to do was to practice as if it were a real game.

Because of her homeroom teacher’s comments, she was dragged away by Seria and had to be interrogated several times.

But every time I did, I explained that I was unfair and always sincere.

The limit of Kairin’s artifact. Leon’s attack pattern. Seria’s ability to grasp the battlefield. I recorded all the information I saw and felt by hand.

In the evening after practice, he always visited Luna and reported on the practice process.

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Luna was currently watching everything in our party from the palm of her hand.

And based on my words, she devised a strategy against the hero party.

I was hated by Seria anyway.

Perhaps, if what I did this time was found out, I wouldn’t let go of it even after it was revealed that I was Yuwol.

But in the end, I thought this was the surest way.

The saying that the warrior’s inaction he watched from the side was a monster was right.

Both Leon and Kairin achieved great results for a human being, but they were not enough to catch up with the enlightened hero.

Luna could also be said to be a blessed talent, but it was difficult to confirm victory if she just stuck.

As long as there are no variables after all. It was a story that according to the will of humans and the academy, Seria would be ranked first.

I had to create a variable.

That was my conclusion.

Raven’s party wasn’t really worried.

If it was your party, I didn’t care at all if I was sincere, and first of all, Alfonso was able to organize it with my hands.

Still, the only thing that bothered me was Raven’s ability.

I thought if I was careful with that, it wouldn’t be too much of a problem.

That’s how I was fully prepared for the 1st place in Luna Party.

The promised evaluation day has arrived.

The homeroom teacher called us to the alumni of the academy instead of to the gymnasium as usual.

“Now. Finally, the long-awaited first evaluation. How is it? Aren’t you looking forward to it?”

The homeroom teacher spoke humorously.

The faces of the gathered students were varied.

Luna proudly crossed her arms.

An expressionless Raven.

Kairin twists her body while looking at her homeroom teacher.

Cairo with scary eyes.

And there was Seria with a confident look.

“Now. This is the first match.”

The homeroom teacher called the first party to meet.

“Luna. Raven. Let’s have a party for the two of you first.”

He led us up a long winding mountain road.

Then, a vacant lot as large as three gymnasiums were put together.

It was the first time I knew that such a large place existed, even though I had been living here for over a month.

Blue and red flags were planted at the end and end of the clearing.

“I don’t know why Sirius gave you all a hint, but as you all know, this test is a skirmish. It’s about protecting your party’s flag and stealing the other party’s flag.”

“The time limit is 30 minutes. After the time is up, points will be calculated based on whose hand the flag is in. If you hold the flag until the end, you get 1 point. Even if you snatch it, you get 1 point. 2 points. Do you understand everything?”

Everyone nodded.

“Hmm… Maybe revealing the details of the battle would benefit the next runners too much, right? Sirius. Take the kids down for a while.”

There is a hero, but why is he pointing out me?

“All right.”

Our party left the clearing and sat down on a rock a little below.

Leon’s face was full of nervousness.

“Relax, Leon.”

Sarah smiled and hugged him.

“Whoa… I hope you show just as much skill as you did during practice.”

I also watched how hard he trained.

Thinking of stabbing him in the back of the head made me feel bad.

“Haa… isn’t Luke’s explanation too s*xy?”

Kairin started singing the homeroom hymn from the side.

She was full of anticipation at the thought of meeting her homeroom teacher again every week when class time approached.

Every time we heard that sound, our reaction was apathetic, but today it definitely seemed to help relieve tension.

As Leon listened to Kairin’s nonsense, his complexion seemed to improve a little.

Once again, Seria briefly summarized our strategy.

And not long after, Luna’s party came down.

“Go up.”

Luna spoke to me.

“How are you, young lady?”

I asked, looking into her eyes.

The answer was from Kane, who had followed Luna.

“Would you lose to those idiots!”

“That’s right. Sirius. A whopping 2-0!”

Yuri added.

Yuri came down with a smile as if she was satisfied with her performance.

In the meantime, Arin looked at me to see if I had recovered my self-esteem more than necessary. and turned his head.

I suddenly felt like I didn’t want to lose.

“I hope you have good results. Warrior.”

Luna smiled and talked to Seria.

“Thank you for your support. Miss Luna. Let’s go. Everyone.”

Seria also smiled and answered Luna’s words.

Of course, not only me but the whole class would soon know that both of them were sharpening knives behind their smiling faces.

When we climbed back to the clearing, we were all surprised.

The exam hall was literally a mess.

There were dents here and there by default, I don’t know what happened, but the mountain behind it was on fire.

In Raven’s party, except for Raven, there weren’t many good looking people.

There were already scars here and there on Zeke’s body, and Cairo was holding onto his arm.

Alfonso was lying sprawled on the floor gasping for breath.

The homeroom teacher crouched down in the middle and gestured toward us as we came up.

“Come this way.”

The homeroom teacher gathered Raven’s party and our party together and drew a magic circle on the floor.

It was like seeing it for the first time.

This kind of magic was not taught to Amelia-sama either.

The magic circle shone and wrapped around us and the clearing.

The hollows here and there were filled up again, and green leaves sprang up again on the trees where the fire had started.

This…

sure

Except for us, the time in the clearing went back to before the fight.

Only me and Alfonso, who use magic, turned white.

“Teacher is better! Your fixing skills are amazing?”

Zeke spoke while sitting on the floor.

Everyone probably thought it was magic to that extent.

But what the homeroom teacher showed me wasn’t such crude magic.

If it was a healing magic, there would be no need for such a magic circle.

And, crucially, it could not fix the creature.

The leaves that rose again represented him.

A magic that defies order. this is.

I stared at the squatting homeroom teacher with my mouth wide open.

“Don’t look at me like that.”

The homeroom teacher scratched his head.

“It’s because I don’t want to hear the principal’s nagging.”

“Ba… what kind of magic did you just use!”

Alfonso, who was lying face down, hurriedly got up and asked the homeroom teacher.

The homeroom teacher grinned.

“It’s a trade secret.”

The homeroom teacher picked up a leaf that had fallen on the floor and listened.

“If you’re a fan of magic, you’ve probably heard of it.”

The leaves in his hand began to wither and twist.

“Unique magic.”

The leaves in his hand turned to dust and were blown away by the wind.

“I believe that one day you will get there too. Good enough. Both of you. Arin too.”

It was unbelievable magic.

When I heard Amelia-sama’s lecture on unique magic, I remembered the explanation.

[Inherent magic varies greatly in type and power depending on the user.]

[sometimes. As a very special case, there are those who use magic that goes against the order of this world. About one person per era.]

[But their destructive abilities are too powerful. must pay the price Either way.]

[That’s why you have to be very careful about going against the law. Dog star.]

[I don’t know if that’s going to happen to you, but if you find yourself at a crossroads where you have to make a choice against the law, never touch it.]

[Because the price of return is not to pay in the way or form you want. It means that you tried to avoid or improve the situation, but it could easily lead to an out-of-control catastrophe.]

Master.

I think I found it.

A person who defies the order. It’s here.

Homeroom. Was Luke really human?

As a demon, I felt a thrill for the first time from a being other than Master, and even from a human.

Whether I was pretending not to know what I was thinking or not, the homeroom teacher didn’t care and proceeded with the test.

“Okay. First of all, the setting is done. Are the players ready?”

no. But are you telling the raven party, which is already in a mess, to fight again?

Cairo asked the homeroom teacher in a tone that he couldn’t understand.

“Are you saying you want to continue the evaluation in this state?”

“Isn’t it fair? Anyway, the warriors have to fight against you and stick with Luna’s?”

The homeroom teacher indifferently answered the man who was barely moving his arm.

The words that followed further darkened the faces of Raven’s party.

“I don’t think you would have said the same thing if you had beaten Luna’s?”

In fact, Luna’s party was clean without any scars.

Seria looked at the opposing camp with a confused expression.

In fact, not only Seria but all of us would have had the same opinion.

It was certainly something we would welcome with open arms, but we never expected a battle like this.

“Okay, let’s go to each other’s place~”

The homeroom teacher shook his arm.

So the first test of the warrior party began.
