Ten minutes before the end of the break time, the results of the written test were posted.
Anyway, after the break, the next exam begins. It's only now that I can see the progress I'm making.
[Oh, Lugh-sama. There are two pieces of paper with test results posted on them.] (Talt)
[Seem like servant's result has to be posted separately.] (Lugh)
A noble can bring up to one servant, and if that servant has magical powers, he/she can be in the same class as his/her lord and take classes if he/she wishes.
Nonetheless, there are no more than ten servants who possess magical power in here.
When dividing into classes, results showed that each was given a division, not including the servants.
[I did it, I did it. I'm the best in the servant division! Also, on the right is written (6th place). What does that mean? Phew, I'm so relieved I didn't embarrass Lugh-sama.] (Talt)
[Sixth place is the overall ranking. That's a good result to be proud of. You could easily aim an S-Class.] (Lugh)
[That's amazing. I had a feeling that I could handle it well, but I might have lost. I want to see the results too, but I can't see anything at all...] (Dia)
The crowds prevent Dia from getting close to the standings, so she jumps up to take a peek behind her, but it's tough on her due to her short height.
[Dia, let me give you a hand.] (Lugh)
[Kya] (Dia)
I piggyback on her. Dia made an uncharacteristically cute noise.
[Thanks, but it's a little embarrassing and I'm a big sister. Such a childish thing.] (Dia)
[You're my sister now, so it's okay.] (Lugh)
Yes, Dia is a sister, even though it is a false family register.
So, as a brother, I do this much. And Dia's thigh feel great. It was smooth and warm.
Gohon, no. I didn't do it with that kind of ulterior motive.
[Do you see the rankings?] (Lugh)
[Yeah, I can see it. Well, Lugh gets first place. Oh, no, no, there are two people in first place. That guy back there, that sly guy, he also gets number one.] (Dia)
... I see, Neusch is not just a man with a mouth.
I expected to get full marks as long as there were no errors in the history book itself.
If so, Neusch also scored full marks, or close to it.
[I am in third place. Ugh, that's frustrating. I was secretly trying to win the first place.] (Dia)
[No, it's more than enough. Practical exam are about magic and body arts. Dia would be able to score a lot of points with your magic, and your swordsmanship skills aren't bad either. It's enough to get you to S-Class.] (Lugh)
[If it's magic, no one can beat me. It's a little dubious if it's against Lugh.] (Dia)
Dia's chanting and magic manipulation are in the realm of art.
I can win on simple power, but I don't feel like I can win her on detailed control.
[Come to think of it, how are the results for the hero-sama? You can see it from here.] (Lugh)
[I don't know his name, so I don't know.] (Dia)
[No, I know. It is Epona. Epona Rhiannon.] (Lugh)
After hearing that hero had appeared, I did a lot of research.
And it turns out that the hero doesn't have power moment he born, but just awakened recently.
Just an ordinary person has suddenly been reborn as a hero.
Epona Rhiannon, like Tuathe Dé, was come from a Baron family.
In addition, he was a dropout who was born without magical power despite being an aristocrat, and Baron Rhiannon's family was having a hard time having children other than Epona.
In addition, Epona Rhiannon has a lot of mystery to him.
Although he is definitely a man in his family register, the more I examine him, the more I suspect that he is a woman.
Thus, as long as I don't see in person, I don't know which is which.
[Epona, Epona. Oh, there he is. 8th from the last] (Dia)
[......Thank you. I think I understand roughly.] (Lugh)
I put down Dia.
It seems that this time, the brave man has no signs of being highly educated.
That means he must not have any magic training.
Basically, I can assume that he is just a muscle-brain.
[I thought a hero would be amazing, but it's not really.] (Dia)
[After all, it's what he has accumulated in his life so far. It's not enough to be born with abilities that are out of the norm. However, he is only 14 years old. It's going to grow.] (Lugh)
That's why the school is here.
[Um, Lugh-sama. I've been feeling like I'm being stared at by the people around me.] (Talt)
[It can't be helped considering rank that you got] (Lugh)
The sons and daughters of famous aristocrats are paying attention to us.
Neusch and I are tied for first place, and he's from a duke family, so it's not surprising that he has a good record, but it's also strange that we as a baron family can get such a good record.
In other words, they can't be convinced that they have lost to the lower aristocracy because of the education they have received and their smartness.
But some people didn't seem to care about such things.
[I thought I took first place by far, but I never thought you'd be so close to me. After all, you're as capable as I thought you'd be.] (Neusch Geffis)
Neusch, a beautiful blond boy, is familiarly embracing his shoulder.
[Let's both of us work hard in the second half.] (Lugh)
[Of course. I'm aiming to get first place in the entrance exam after all. I would not lose...Let's me remind you first. I won't forgive if you take easy just because of me being from duke family. Getting rank because of family’s status is bad taste after all.] (Neusch Geffis)
[I understand. I will also give my best shot] (Lugh)
I'm not lying when I say I'll do my best. That is, within the limits of the power that can be shown.
The bell sounded to signal the end of the break and the instructor came again to announce the start of the second half.
◇
The afternoon practical exam was also halfway through.
First, it's a magic test.
A person declares his or her best attribute magic, and is scored by chanting and casting the three predetermined types of magic.
The four scoring criteria are the amount of magic released, the conversion rate of magic released, chanting speed, and magic accuracy.
I suppressed my magic and chanted with a magic power that was only within the range of common sense and extremely excellent.
The result of that is second place.
[Mm-hmm. No one can beat me in magic.] (Dia)
Someone who get first place is smirking beside me.
[Impressive as ever. I fell in love with the beautiful chanting.] (Dia)
[I'm more concerned about the magic conversion. No matter how many times I look at it, I don't know how I can convert it with that much effort.] (Lugh)
It is converting magic power into spell without wasting any magic.
It's an extremely important technique. So, I've been trying to do a lot of trial and error myself, but I can't win against Dia.
In the case of an ordinary magician, the standard is 70%, and I'm around 90%. But in Dia's case, it's always 90%.
This isn't just a matter of getting more fuel and more magic. Accuracy is increased because there are no adverse effects from magic that is not fully converted.
The conversion rate between me and Dia is only five minutes different, but that five minutes difference is huge.
[I’m in 5th place...Even though I get thought a lot by Lugh-sama.] (Talt)
Talt appears to be dropping her shoulders.
By the way, the people above Talt are Neusch and Hero Epona.
Seeing Neusch's chant convinced me that he was a hard worker.
There's definitely he has a top-notch mentor, there's sense in him. But that alone won't work that much magic like this.
It takes an effort to the point of getting bloody.
He's a quirky guy who likes to show off. However, there is a definite effort behind it.
And what surprise me is Epona.
That was a mess. Magic conversion efficiency is poor. At best, it is below the general level of 50-60%. Chanting is also slow. The accuracy is also poor.
However, the amount of magic released is too far outside the standard, and that alone has surpassed Neusch and Talt in overall results.
[Hey, Dia. Can you believe it? How does the basic magic of the fire attribute, [Flame Ball], become like that?] (Lugh)
[Yeah, I don't want to believe it either. It's ridiculous, it's terrible magic. I wonder what would have happened if he had trained properly and chanted with a normal level of skill.] (Dia)
[Flaming ball]. As its name implies, it is a magic that produces a ball of fire the size of a fist.
It flies fluffily and slowly, to the extent that it burns the surface skin if it is hit.
But the [fireball] that hero threw was different.
It was like a bullet, which were as hot as a compressed sun, shot out at a speed that exceeded the sound of a sound, turning everything in their path into cinders and disappearing into the far distance.
...... That's it for beginner magic. Probably not just a simple amount of magic, but there might be also a skill to enhance magic.
I shudder to think of fighting against him.
The least he can do is chant poorly, and even a beginner's magic takes tens of seconds to chant.
It is also a weakness that will disappear if he learn it at this school.
