＃Returner’s Notepad Episode 11

Endex(3)

Monitor room at Bahala Hall. For the College Board’s first class, five prestigious full professors from the department, including the Edsilla National University Distinguished Professor, have gathered at Endex today.

It was a luxury possible because it was a prestigious index.

“It doesn’t matter which method. “If you make even the slightest ‘blemish’ on the Mana Prism, it is a success.”

Chadrek, the person in charge, spoke about the College Board’s challenges.

Break the prism. A one-line review: ‘A basic test with high difficulty.’

“-start.”

The success condition is to understand the prism’s mana circulation structure, trace the circuit back, and destroy the core.

If you can easily scratch the prism, it is a success.

It does not require advanced magical skills, but you must be able to use the basics at a fairly high level.

“Kuhm. Professor Theia Itsil, what do you think?”

Chadrek, who turned off the microphone, cleared his throat and glanced next to me. There was a person there who was difficult to describe in sentences.

Theia Esil, with hair that reaches down to her shoulders as if it had been grown out of obsidian, green eyes with immeasurable depth, and every line that touches her eyes is as flawless as a sculpture.

She is a genius who entered a national university at the age of fifteen, graduated at the top of her class at eighteen, rose to high rank in the school at age twenty-two, and was appointed chair professor at the University of Magic.

The most popular titles are ‘Star Knight, who inherited Atan’s legacy’ and ‘Magician who searches for the truth.’

It means that he is a great person who is an honor just to be in the same space.

“good. “It feels like a test.”

Theia answered helplessly and observed the students.

[Room 17: Gerken]

The first is, of course, Gerken Kaldun.

As one of the continental-level prospects, he is a prodigy who has not missed an A+ from the moment he entered Exdex Academy.

“As for Gerken, as I heard.”

The calm, dawn-colored hair gives off an intellectual impression, and the good bone structure revealed by the clothes is a model of a knight who has not neglected training.

Handsome men were everywhere, but Gerken was different.

He has already analyzed more than half of the prism.

“It’s excellent.”

Theia said, running a hand through her hair. Then the Dean of Academic Affairs took a big step forward and smiled.

“Ah, it’s Gerken, after all. “A very good example of a learning attitude.”

-I have a question.

Suddenly, the voice of an unknown student flowed through the speaker.

It was room 133.

Theia moved the main screen to that direction. There was one person with crazy hair.

Personal information appeared like a subtitle in the corner.

[Room 133: Sion Askal]

[Grade average: D-]

“D-?”

A wrinkle appeared between Theia’s eyebrows.

“What is that brazen-haired guy?”

The Dean of Academic Affairs frowned arrogantly.

The tighthead said.

—Can I use the tool?

“… … her.”

The Dean of Academic Affairs let out a laugh as if it was absurd. Other university professors who were observing also smiled elegantly.

Theia sighed as she relayed it to Chadrek.

“No problem. “I tell them they do.”

“Is it okay if I use the tool?”

Chedrek asked back. Theia answered indifferently.

“If you brought your own equipment. “The preparedness is also worth evaluating.”

“yes.”

Chedrek spoke into the microphone.

“It’s okay.”

And Zion falls away from everyone’s attention.

There is no time to waste on things like D-grades.

Professors observed other test takers on many screens. Theia Itsil also focused on the top ranks.

But, at some point.

“What is he doing?”

Someone’s voice muttering as if it were absurd.

A lament so sincere.

Then the other professors also looked up with curiosity. Theia Itsil also glanced at the screen.

“What are you doing… … .”

At that moment, even Theia frowned. Everyone had a similar reaction.

———Sigh!

In the screen, a golf club was hit by a prism. The professors slightly closed their eyes without realizing it.

“… … really. “Nothing.”

———Hmph!

A man with tight hair swinging a screwdriver with all his might. The angle of the swing is sharp, the posing is smooth, and the hitting point is accurate.

What kind of professional golfer are you?

Theia placed her hand on her forehead. It’s so out of the blue that I’m just digging into the ground instead of understanding the intent of the exam.

“What is this guy doing?”

Theia completely agreed with what a professor said.

Clap- Clap- Clap-

Some professors even applauded. He was an active knight and full professor at a national university called ‘Jepa’.

“Wow. There are still ignorant people like that in the world. Do you have a bad brain? No, there’s no way a stone-headed person can enter Endex, right?”

It caught my attention briefly, but that was it.

The topic changed due to another news that came at the same time.

[Duration 9 minutes 43 seconds: Gerken Khal Dun]

“oh!”

Gerken Khaldun. When the main screen is turned to him, the crazy golfer in the example disappears and Gerken’s dull face is captured.

The prism was neatly disassembled on his desk.

“Gerken! Are you an aspiring knight? I couldn’t see it because of the strange guy. “Wow, 9 minutes.”

Clap clap clap—! Zepa clapped with a different meaning than before.

“But Lady Arcne is still… … .”

[Duration 10 minutes 03 seconds: Solliet Arcne]

Zepa nodded.

“also!”

Next to Gerken is Solliet Arcne.

It was just as Theia expected.

[Duration 10 minutes 13 seconds: Elise Petra]

“Ah, Petra is such a waste. “There’s a 30-second difference from first place.”

“Well, this is probably the difference in condition.”

The professors and teachers discussing the abilities of the top ranked students were friendly.

Thanks to this, the pressure in Room 133 was quickly forgotten.

Although Gerken is a commoner, he has talent mixed with ancient blood, and Petra and Arcne are prestigious families that professors are anxious to connect with.

[Duration 21 minutes 57 seconds: Raye Hilton]

[Duration 23 minutes 33 seconds: Kane Trick Room]

[Duration 25 minutes 17 seconds: Asher Dradd]

“Raye of the Hilton family, Tricksil and the Scion of the Dread family.”

“Familiar names are also at the top.”

[Duration 34 minutes 33 seconds: Delek Sian]

[Duration 35 minutes 17 seconds: Ben-Hur Islands]

[Duration 37 minutes 30 seconds: Chieli Verkunta]

[Duration: 43 minutes… … ]

… … thud!

As the news of passing continued, a slight vibration rang from somewhere. The floor of the evaluation room trembles faintly.

“Hmm.”

Theia frowned. Cold sweat broke out on the Dean of Academic Affairs’ back.

A professor said.

“It looks like that guy is still doing strange things. Shouldn’t we make him stop?”

… … thud!

The sound and echo grow a little louder, as if in defiance.

“It will affect other students.”

“This is enough reason to fail.”

-thud!

“really… … .”

Theia also touched her temple. What on earth are you going to do with a golf club?

No, do you really think that whatever you try to do will work? …

thud–!

However, when this fourth vibration resonated loudly.

“… … wait for a sec.”

Theia Itsil felt a certain sense of discomfort.

bang–!

There is one fact that is very obvious. A fact so obvious that it has been overlooked until now.

A well-made prism ‘absorbs’ magical power and physical power.

However, since it absorbs physical force like that, no matter how hard you hit the prism with a golf club… … .

bang—!

There is no way such a vibration could occur.

[Duration 58 minutes 22 seconds: Jaken]

[Duration 60 minutes 57 seconds: Arang… … ]

News of her acceptance comes from all over the place, but Theia’s interest is not there.

She is looking at only one person – a poor senior who did not understand the purpose of the exam.

He was holding a screwdriver and hitting the prism with all his might.

thud–!

“Oh my! I should have known that guy. “I will go and stop you!”

“Shh.”

Theia stopped the Dean of Academic Affairs who was about to run out with his face red. The other professors seemed to have sensed something strange too, and were silently lost in thought.

I saw the senior on the screen.

thud–!

A loud noise coming from the prism.

Breath mixed with heat.

Again, a golf club soaring upward.

Drops of sweat flowing down.

A body stretched tightly.

A rough swing.

last.

Kwaaaaang———!

The prism shook strongly. Very small ‘fragments’ flew out.

Theia’s eyes widened.

—… … after.

The tighthead let out a soft breath. I skimmed the beads of sweat that formed on my forehead. He picked up the prism and smiled.

He said, holding it up to the ceiling.

—Obviously, you said you passed even with just a few scratches.

The front of the prism. A fine but clearly engraved crack.

“under.”

Theia was dumbfounded and laughed.

That crazy-haired guy broke the prism even just a little using only the golf club and his own physical strength… … .

“63 minutes and 43 seconds.”

Cedrek and the other professors were silent for a moment, and she was the only one to speak into the microphone.

“Sion Askal. pass.”

* * *

The garden behind Bahala Pavilion.

Under the clear spring sunlight, a teaching assistant dispatched from Edsilla National University is waiting for successful candidates. While making bets with group chat room mates on who would come in first place.

[Of course, isn’t it Gerken? I heard he is a 7-star prospect, not a 6-star one.]

[Still, Arkneji; It is a Holy Bone Council family.]

[Ah haha ​​Solliet had an accident. I guess mental rehabilitation hasn’t been done properly yet? I see Petra.]

The odds are 4 to 3 to 2, with Gerken in first place, followed by Elysee and Solliet.

The teaching assistant waited, touching his nose.

I’m quite curious who will come in first place. He is also an Endex alumnus, and this jockey’s potential is evaluated as the highest in 10 years.

Weeing-

Just then, a text message arrived on my cell phone.

“ah.”

[Duration 9 minutes 43 seconds: Gerken Khal Dun]

The teaching assistant who saw the name nodded and sent a message to the group chat.

[Gerken takes first place. 9 minute cut. The rest of the people I filmed are giving money.]

[Ah ㅁㅊ;]

[LOL Nice]

[9 minute cut? Hard to believe. Send me a proof shot.]

Tap-tap-tap-

A crowd of people approaches from the back entrance of the Bahala Pavilion. The assistant’s drooping eyelids flutter every time I see him.

“Time required: 9 minutes and 43 seconds. Gerken Khal Dun, congratulations.”

Gerken is perfect in every way. There is no flaw in his appearance. Even the rumors are clean. They say they enjoy volunteer work rather than entertainment.

“thank you.”

Indeed, even a nod to the topic of commoners is dignified.

The assistant pointed to the stone steps at the back of the garden.

“Sit anywhere.”

As soon as Gerken took his place, another celebrity appeared.

Blazing red hair as if it were being illuminated by some kind of light. It is truly a symbol of the Arcne family.

“Duration: 10 minutes 03 seconds. Soliet Arcne. Come and sit anywhere.”

“yes.”

She sat opposite Gerken.

The two people above are all-time great prospects who are envied not only by the Academy but also by the entire continent, but they do not say a word to each other.

Regardless of gender, it may be an instinct. The instinct of a dominant species raised as an Alpha from birth.

Whiing—

Vibration rings once more. The teaching assistant laughed when he saw the name in the text message.

What kind of elite trio are they?

“Duration: 10 minutes and 13 seconds. “Elise Petra.”

Elise appeared on time and sat between Gerken and Solliet. Naturally, three people became the vertex.

It took a while for the news of her acceptance to arrive.

“Duration: 21 minutes and 57 seconds. Raye Hilton.”

After 11 minutes, he was the fourth person to pass. Raje, the only daughter of the Hilton family, is as healthy as her knight, but neat and beautiful like a doll.

“Ah~ It was difficult, it was difficult~”

Wearing high heels, she approached with a sneaker-like step.

“As expected, Solet and Gernet. Hi~”

After waving goodbye to Solliet and Gerken, he immediately sat down next to Elise.

“Duration: 23 minutes and 33 seconds. Kane Tricksil… … .”

After that, the teaching assistant continued to announce successful candidates.
