Episode 169 Message Test (8)
Leger, who hesitated, was dragged by the instructor’s hand.
I felt like I could hear Leger screaming, ‘Hee hee hee hee!’
I never would have thought that Leger would join the group of Euridia and Teron.
I didn’t expect it at all. but.
‘It was rather good. ‘Because those two are not alone.’
It will give Leger plenty of time to be active.
Well, there will be no change in the fact that you will have a 1:1 meeting with Charon at the end.
“Will it be okay?”
“It will be okay. “The operation is perfect.”
“That’s not what you’re saying. She was a child who trembled just from taking the paper test. But to be caught between those two… … “There must be a lot of tension, right?”
“Hehe, you’re worrying for nothing.”
“… … It’s natural to be worried. “If you don’t get into the advanced class, someone will make a fuss.”
You’re making such a fuss about not being able to get into the advanced class. What kind of guy is there?
“Hehe, I don’t know who he is, but he’s a really bad guy.”
Then Luna glared at me. Wait a minute, that person couldn’t be… … .
“Was it me?”
“Then isn’t it? “You treated someone like that during training!”
Luna crossed her arms and expressed her dissatisfaction.
But this is a misunderstanding. Even if Leger doesn’t get into the advanced class, it doesn’t cause any major problems.
Talk, train, join, etc.
It’s just a little more hassle to deal with.
“That wasn’t training to get into the advanced class. “It’s for the future.”
“… … “Are you serious?”
“Hehe, look at these serious eyes. “Do I look like someone who would lie?”
Luna’s face slowly approached.
Close enough to see my face reflected in his eyes.
Soon Luna turned her head.
“Tch, you have to see something to believe it or not. “Those eyes are foul.”
“Hehe, believe it. Because it’s real.”
“Did you eat something wrong today? “Something is different from usual.”
Luna tilted her head.
However, I am sincere in saying that it is okay for Leger not to be in the advanced class.
The reason I accepted Leger in the first place was because Luna earnestly asked for it, but… … .
‘An emergency deployment episode that happens during midterm exams. ‘It’s for use at that time.’
A request for help in an area where erosion occurred, an emergency dispatch of academy students, and a battle with a fifth-level demon taking place there.
Originally, it was impossible to battle with level 5 demons, but if you activate the Hidden Piece, battle becomes possible.
And in my current strategy, Leger is essential.
So it is impossible for me to abandon Leger.
Of course, if it becomes useless after an emergency deployment episode, there is a high probability that it will be thrown away.
‘huh? wait. During the emergency deployment episode, the party conditions are clear… … .’
Minimum affinity to form a party, current location, and.
Must be ‘in the same class’.
“… … .”
Yes. If Leger does not enter the advanced class, he will not be able to form a party.
This means that my grand plan to catch the 5th level devil ended up in vain.
Moreover, this is the only opportunity to change classes before the final exam.
“hmm… … “Now that I think about it, I guess I should still be in the advanced class.”
“… … die.”
Pop!
Luna bit my ear.

“Next, Group 4! “Go inside!”
Group 4 of children entered the labyrinth under the guidance of an instructor.
Some are alone, some are in pairs, and some are gathered in groups of twos and threes.
He disappeared into a labyrinth made of stones.
I never even thought about eliminating my competitors. Here and now… … .
“What are you doing when you’re not gone?”
“Ho Ho! What are you doing, Teron? “Aha, you’ve been giving me directions so much that you’ve forgotten how to walk?”
Because there were two beasts. Two animals that were anxious because they couldn’t eat each other.
“Just giving it a chance. Don’t you even notice that I’m being merciful?”
“Oh my, what should I do because I’m thankful? But if you take your time like that, you might get eliminated, right? “This test won’t be easy.”
Yuridia received a hint from Charon.
‘Same yet different.’
After thinking about it for a day, I realized that this paper test is an evolved version of the entrance test.
Not only did he come up with a strategy, but he also shared the information with the children who followed him.
“… … .”
Yuridia’s raised nose, overflowing confidence, and a labyrinth made of stone.
Teron thought for a moment and burst into laughter.
“What, was it something like that? “It’s not as big a deal as I thought.”
Teron figured it out easily.
This paper test is an evolved version of the entrance test.
But that doesn’t mean Euridia is at a disadvantage.
“Ho Ho! As expected, it is Teron County. Well, I don’t know if other people realized it.”
Yes. Yuridia not only shared information with the children who followed her, but also developed a strategy.
On the other hand, Teronpa is in a situation where he has to realize it himself and even come up with a strategy.
So far, it is safe to say that the Eurydia faction has an overwhelming advantage.
Teron clicked his tongue.
‘Tsk, Yuridia used her brain.’
Because the information was shared this morning, the spies hidden by Teron were unable to function.
“Hoho, are you not going to fight?”
“… … “Do not rush orders.”
At first, I was planning on dropping Yuridia as soon as the test started, but after seeing the labyrinth, my thoughts changed.
To be exact, it was because of Charon’s last words.
-You are free to fight or not, but if you make enemies recklessly, you will be in trouble in the end. Just keep that in mind.
Just as the labyrinth made of bushes changed to stone, it is natural that there are changes in the second gateway, the illusion magic test, and the third gateway, the group duel test.
“Teacher Charon doesn’t talk nonsense. “Euridia, you’re lucky.”
“Hmm~ Well, I think the same thing about that. Should I call this fortunate? Well, the lucky one is Teron County.”
“… … Tsk.”
Teron took steps toward the labyrinth.
Dealing with Yuridia here may be the best decision.
‘But that doesn’t mean Yuridia will fail the honors class.’
In fact, Teron knew the reason for taking the paper test.
Competition with the children of the Holy Kingdom who will soon arrive at the Academy, and the Empire taking the top spot, showing the difference in level and protecting their pride.
The Academy keeps it a secret, but it is not a secret that can be hidden even from Teron, a high-ranking noble.
‘In other words, just because Yuridia fails the first stage, the Labyrinth, I won’t do something stupid like drop her from the advanced class.’
The empire is not so stupid that it is blinded by immediate gains and misses bigger gains.
And this also applies to Teron.
“what! let’s go together!”
Yuridia follows behind her, grumbling.
Even so, she is called a magical genius. She even managed to score second place in her entrance exam.
No matter how much I think about it, there is no way Yuridia will fail the advanced class. therefore.
‘Get the benefit in a different way.’
Teron’s head turned quickly.
The most urgent problem currently is the fall of the Eurydia faction and the complete takeover of the first grade.
then.
‘It shows the difference in level in front of the teacher and children.’
It shows the overwhelming difference in ability and tells us who the true master of the first year is.
A good opportunity to break the momentum of the Yuri Dia faction, which is gaining popularity these days.
‘Mr. Charon’s meaningful words are problematic, but… … .’
It will not be too late for Euridia to see how the test of the third gateway has changed and deal with it.
Teron was confident that he could attack Euridia at any time.
It was time to continue moving through the labyrinth.
“hey?”
Jumble-jump-.
“Mr. Teron, can’t you hear me?”
Jumble-jump-.
“They say Teron is an idiot.”
“… … Can’t you just shut up and go? “It’s being tested right now.”
“But I’m bored! “There are no enemies attacking you, and you will come across the path as you go!”
Teron and Euridia are using the superior method of climbing the wall on the right.
Of course, I was bored just walking.
But isn’t this a test?
Moreover, they competed for the top spot during the entrance exam.
But what? Bored?
‘… … Am I competing with a child like this?’
ha.
A sigh could not help but come out of Teron’s mouth.
“… … So, what is there to do?”
“Well, we can just chat. Now that I think about it, there’s almost no time we’ve had a conversation together, right?”
Teron and Eurydia are the heads of their respective factions.
Because there were so many eyes watching, there was no time for personal conversation.
Suddenly, Teron thought that this might be a better time than he thought.
‘If persuasion works, I might be able to absorb Yuuri Diapa.’
Recently, the Eurydia faction has been recruiting neutral children, but the Teron faction still holds an absolute advantage.
If you promise to give her an appropriate position, you may be able to easily absorb her power.
“I see. good night. “What do you want to talk about?”
“Is there anyone you’re interested in recently?”
Euridia’s eyes lit up, and Teron’s eyes also lit up when he saw her.
Who have you been trying to recruit recently? That’s probably what you’re asking.
There will never be another opportunity to have such a serious conversation.
Teron decided to speak boldly instead of hiding it.
“It’s Alex.”
“Oh, you’re Alex?”
“Yes. “It stood out strangely.”
Although Zero caught a lot of attention by causing an accident, Alex is the main character of this game.
The main character, Buff, could not be ignored, and Teron was secretly looking at him.
‘Hmph, it seems like I’ve become close with Yuridia, but I can’t give her up easily.’
Teron smiled triumphantly as he looked at Euridia, who was visibly embarrassed.
Yuridia looked around, not knowing what to do. When she came closer, she whispered in my ear.
“Well, I didn’t know you had that kind of taste. Do not worry. “I will keep this a secret.”
“… … ?”
“Well, you can! Because gender doesn’t matter when it comes to love! “If you have any concerns in the future, please tell me!”
Only then did Teron realize.
Yuridia wanted to talk about love, not a serious story.
‘There’s no way I could do that! Even if that’s the case, there’s no reason to tell something like that to someone you’re not even close with!’
Teron clenched his fists.
Teron, barely able to resist the urge to punch him, opened his mouth.
“That’s not what I’m talking about. “It was about recruiting.”
“Huh? Was it something like that? It’s a shame… … .”
Is it that he regrets that he is considering recruiting him, or is it that he regrets the forbidden love that did not come true?
Teron sighed.
“Well, it’s just the wind. “Alex, I don’t think he’ll ever come to me.”
“Huh~ Well, Alex is a little picky. “It seems light, but there is also a serious side to it?”
“Let me give you some advice. Alex, you better watch out for that guy. “That kind of guy isn’t the type to subordinate to others.”
“Well, isn’t it because the Teron military lacks tolerance?”
“… … .”
Teron remained silent after that.
I realized that the conversation with Yuridia was not nutritious at all.
“Ah~ If it were Alex-kun or Zero-kun, they would have joined in the conversation. “I’m sure we talked a lot about love.”
“… … .”
After breaking through the labyrinth, the two of them passed the illusion test.
I was able to reach the level 3 gateway where Charon is.
“Wait a moment. “The final exam will begin in 23 minutes.”
Charon kept quiet after that. He just repeated the same thing every time other children arrived.
“How have group duels changed? Well, did you expect anything?”
“… … First of all, keep your mouth shut. “It is clear that we need it.”
Yuridia’s mouth popped out.
He doesn’t fit in well in conversation, and he responds bluntly.
Yuridia was about to shout, ‘I can’t even date, let alone get married!’
She soon realized something strange.
“Rather… … are you okay? “I’m sweating a lot.”
Teron sweating like rain.
Euridia offered a handkerchief, but Teron did not take it.
‘It’s like a fucking welcome test.’
Teron did not possess the artifact.
It wasn’t something that couldn’t be overcome. but.
‘It brought back bad memories.’
Dyke might recall the same memories as himself, perhaps worse memories.
As I was recovering my consciousness while leaning against a tree, Charon, who was looking at his pocket watch, shouted.
“Eight people? Everyone gather together! “I will start the third test now.”
The rules were simple.
The eight people here are dealing with Charon.
That was the essence of the final test.
“Tsk!”
Teron clicked his tongue.
Originally, I was going to eliminate Yuridia right from the start, but if I did that, I would have received a poor score for attacking my teammate in front of the enemy.
“… … Indeed, Annwood Academy. “It doesn’t come off easily.”
Kuung-!
When Teron stamped his foot, a handful of the ground sank in.
At the same time, he thrust his left fist forward and took a stance.
“Hoo, are you finally going to show off your skills? It’s the Bürn family’s fighting technique… … “You can look forward to it.”
Charon holds a wooden dagger in both hands.
This is Charon’s main weapon. It means that you will work sincerely.
“I can’t help it. “Euridia, this is a temporary alliance.”
“Ho Ho! “Don’t fall behind!”
And so the final test of Group 4 began. and.
Tap-tap-.
Near the sparring hall, somewhere in the forest.
The rock… … No, a box shaped like a rock.
It started wiggling and moving.
