Episode 162. Message Test (1)
“The midterm exams were postponed?”
“Uh, why?”
“What is the message test…?” … .”
“What about the date? Surely it won’t be tomorrow?”
The confused children poured out questions.
Charon’s answer to this was extremely simple.
“The paper test will take place in a week, and it is a secret which test will be taken.”
“Well, what is that… … !”
“It’s noisy.”
Charon’s voice is more than just chilling, it’s eerie.
The noisy training ground suddenly became quiet.
The children, who had been taking advantage of the noise to voice their complaints, all fell silent.
“What is the meaning of the test?”
“… … “It is about finding out the level or degree of talent, ability, and knowledge according to a certain procedure.”
“But what’s the point if I tell you the contents in advance?”
“B-but… … .”
“If you have any complaints, raise your hand and speak up. “Don’t cowardly hide in the crowd and make noise.”
At this point, the training ground became beyond quiet.
I also stayed quiet.
‘It’s also because I know why I’m taking the paper test and what kind of test I’m taking… … .’
Because the ‘story’ is in progress. It’s also a story where the main character plays an active role.
Flash!
Euridia raised her hand. So proud that you can hear the sound of ‘flashing’.
The children’s faces turned pale.
You’re rebelling against Charon. I’m not crazy.
“… … You seem to be very dissatisfied. Try saying it somewhere. “If you are prepared to pay the price of penalty points.”
Charon, who was in front of Euridia, looked down at her.
Those eyes are so cold that it’s overwhelming to even look at them.
But Yuridia, who met his gaze, only tilted her head.
“That’s strange. “You know that’s not what we’re asking right now, right?”
“okay? “So what does it mean?”
“So far, midterm exams have been postponed at Annwood Academy only three times.”
Yuridia pointed out her fingers one by one.
The arrival of the Legion Commander, the Academy Assassin attack, and the war with the Kingdom of Doron.
Although the Academy has had many big and small events throughout its long history, the only ones that caused the midterm exams to be postponed were the three incidents that Yuridia mentioned.
This means that Annwood Academy’s schedule cannot be changed under any circumstances.
In other words, the fact that the midterm exams have been postponed is a sign that something similar will happen… … or.
“It means it has already exploded. “A major accident that we don’t know about.”
“… … .”
“So it’s natural for students to be confused. We need a full explanation. If the paper test you take this time… … .”
If it is a national crisis, or even a continental crisis.
“Because we need to be prepared for that.”
The training ground became noisy again.
I realized that the paper test was not the problem.
In essence, fear is contagious.
“Um, war?”
“Is there a place that aims for the empire without fear?”
“That can’t be possible! Everyone estimates that the current empire has more than enough power to unify the continent!”
“The only thing left is the devil… … Could it be that the commander of the army has arrived?”
“Well, come to think of it, wasn’t there a demon attack recently?”
The children were confused.
Crowley, commander of the 5th Corps, descended on the Kingdom of Rohan about 40 years ago.
Although the children were not even born at that time, they knew clearly that the corps commander was in danger.
That was the extent of the corps commander’s dignity.
So much so that children who had never experienced war trembled with fear.
“Tsk, you’re still full of frustrated people.”
What calmed them down was the sound of Charon clicking his tongue.
“I thought it would be a little different because it was an honors class… … They are no different from children in regular classes. “Euridia!”
“Yes, I am listening.”
Everyone thought that Yuridia would receive a penalty point.
but.
“I will give you 2 store points.”
“… … ?”
What Euridia received was not a penalty point, but a store.
“Me? “Why?”
“Because he did not give his life to others.”
“… … “Will you give me your life?”
“Yes. You must at least make an effort to find out what the mission is and the reason. “If you blindly follow orders, you will most likely die.”
“But the teacher scolded me and blocked my questions, right?”
“Yes, I gave up my life. “Except for you, Yuridia.”
Several children nodded.
I understood what Charon said. Of course, the number of children who did not understand was much higher.
“Don’t carelessly entrust your life to someone else. This time, Yuridia will be able to survive by picking up all the life lines you threw away… … “This kind of luck won’t last.”
As I listened to Charon, I couldn’t help but be surprised.
‘A line was added?’
In the game, ‘Okay. I gave up my life line. Charon’s tongue lengthened considerably as he ended with ‘Euridia, except you.’
‘Actually, there were many users who did not understand Charon’s words in this part.’
If it weren’t for the efforts of users to find the hidden meaning in Charon’s words, I wouldn’t have understood it either.
“It’s good to get help from colleagues, but if one colleague is holding the lifeline of dozens or hundreds of people, the burden becomes even more severe.”
“… … .”
“At least if you are a child in the advanced class, you should take care of your own life! “Will it be like this even on the battlefield?”
The children, who realized their mistake, lowered their heads.
Of course, I was busy admiring it all the while.
‘You’ve become very kind, haven’t you? ‘Tell me everything, even what I did wrong.’
Is it because he obtained information about the Four Heavenly Kings through me, or is it because he is about to fight Volkan?
For a caron, he has become incredibly friendly.
Of course, the children don’t seem to have felt it.
And it wasn’t just the dialogue that changed.
“Since Yuridia has taken on the burden, we must provide some compensation. “Euridia!”
“Yes, teacher.”
“I will give you a hint for step 1 of the 3-step paper test. “Come to me after class.”
The training ground was filled with shock.
It is surprising that there are as many as three stages of the message test, but this is because Yuridia received a hint for the first stage of the test.
‘The fact that Yuridia received it is the same as saying that the entire Yuridia faction found out.’
An opportunity to be significantly ahead of the competition with Teronpa.
Everyone couldn’t help but be shocked.
Teron immediately raised his hand and asked.
“Step 3. “Isn’t it too big for a paper test?”
“Not really. “Because the test will be over in one day.”
“… … Are you saying that the three stages of the exam can be completed in one day?”
The children became even more confused.
Because I had a feeling that it would be extremely difficult.
“If you don’t like it, leave. This is a test that is not included in your grade. but… … .”
but?
“The number of people in the top class is just changing.”
“I’m saying don’t even think about falling in!!”
Eventually, the screaming children came out.
‘It’s because the benefits that advanced students receive are great.’
Starting with scholarships, expenses to maintain dignity, meetings with nobles, politicians, businessmen, and commercial figures, invitations to parties, and support for employment and entrepreneurship after graduation.
Currently, there are no related episodes as it is the first semester of the first year, but from the second year onwards, it is pouring in like a flood.
“The number of students in the advanced class changes after the final exams, right? But they said they would change it before the midterm exams! “This is not fair!”
Since he openly complains to Charon, you can imagine how great the benefits of the advanced class are.
Of course, Charon just lightly ignored them.
“Isn’t that enough if I do well on the written test?”
“Yeah, that’s true, but… … .”
“If you apply as hard as you did during the entrance exam, you will be able to stay. “That’s it for today’s class.”
Yuridia followed Charon as he left the classroom.
This is to listen to the hints for Step 1 of the paper test.
At the same time, the classroom became noisy. Especially the place where Teron is.
“What should I do? “The Euridia faction appears to be ahead.”
“It’s a paper test, but like Charon, it’s a real test, right?”
“All three stages are actual combat… … “It’s a big deal.”
“Many of the children belonging to the Yuri Dia School are in the general class. If they come up… … .”
Although Teronpa is excellent overall, if they are outnumbered in the excellent class, the future fight will not be smooth.
The atmosphere was bound to be bad.
“Don’t panic. “Isn’t it only step 1?”
“Yeah, that’s true, but… … .”
“Furthermore, he said he was giving hints, not information. “There’s no way Teacher Charon’s hint is easy.”
Is it because he is a leading character who takes on one episode?
His reasoning skills are extraordinary.
“okay. What Teron said is correct.”
“We just have to do what we do. Rather, this test will be an opportunity to increase our power. Please tell this to the children in regular classes. “I start training today.”
“yes!”
Teron, who instantly relieved the children’s anxiety, walked out of the classroom majestically.
That’s a lot of confidence. but.
‘It won’t be easy, right? It’s as if Charon has already given away all the information.’
Step 3, a test that ends in one day, and is to be completed as if it were an entrance exam.
Yes. The identity of the message test is… … .
‘An evolved version of the entrance exam.’
Labyrinths, illusion magic, and group duels.
There will be three tests excluding the secret test and written test.
Charon means that everything about the paper test has been told.
‘I don’t know what kind of hint Yuridia will receive… … .’
Judging by the fact that the Hidden Piece has been activated, the story will unfold in Yuridia’s favor.
Teron may find himself in a much more difficult situation than he thought.
‘Well, now is not the time to worry about that side.’
Labyrinth and fantasy magic tests are not a problem.
The same goes for group duels.
That is, if I had proceeded with the story ‘as usual’.
‘Lucia’s Hidden Piece. There is a high probability that it is linked to this.’
8 days until Lucia leaves, and 7 days until the paper exam.
It’s an amazing coincidence. No, this should be considered intentional.
There is no reason for Lucia to appear in Labyrinth and Fantasy Magic.
then.
‘It is said that Lucia will appear in the third group duel… … .’
Although his stats have increased, it is unclear whether he will receive Lucia’s recognition.
No, to be honest, it is 0.
This means that the situation is so bleak that even the word unknown is not allowed.
“Hehe, I’m going crazy.”
“It’s surprising. You were originally crazy. “Don’t worry, nothing will get any crazier.”
… … okay.
Thank you, Luna.
* * *
We arrived at the training ground after eating.
There were two things that were different from usual.
Leger seems to be in good condition after resting over the weekend, and.
“Okay… … .”
Lucia is training.
This was very surprising.
It’s amazing that they’re here before us, and they’re training and sweating profusely.
“Hehe, it looks like the sun rose in the west today.”
“You say rude things so casually. And if you get hit, doesn’t it hurt?”
Lucia came over, wiping away her sweat.
“Are you here? I’m training on my own. “I will look after each one.”
“Hehe, why are you training all of a sudden?”
“Ah, there’s an emergency subjugation mission.”
“Subjugation?”
“Yes, what it is is a secret. But don’t worry, I will watch over your training and leave.”
There is only one subjugation at this time.
A subjugation battle for ‘Volkan, the Maestro of the Battlefield’ that I created through Charon.
‘Has Lucia decided to join? They said they would never do it… … .’
After breaking up yesterday, I may have made some sort of deal with Charon.
Looking at his unscathed body and atmosphere, it doesn’t seem like it ended that badly.
‘I don’t know if I can really kill the Four Heavenly Kings.’
I don’t know the strength of the punitive force, but Elester, Charon, and Lucia alone have the strength of an army corps.
There is nothing easier than an underprepared necromancer.
It was a time when hopes for clear were growing.
“Oh, and I will personally take the test for you two.”
“yes?”
“The paper test. Be prepared. “I plan to come in with the best physical condition possible.”
… … It’s hard to be recognized by Lucia the pig, but to be recognized by Lucia who has regained her power.
I found another hidden piece that turns pig Lucia into human Lucia.
but.
I wasn’t happy at all.
