The Narrow-Eyed Villain of the Demon Academy - Chapter 129
Chapter 129
“I’m running out of time, so I’ll finish the rest of the tests before proceeding with the next match! Good job everyone!”
Edea left those words and sent the students back to their class.
After eating with Luna, I returned to my class and slumped in my chair.
And I decided to prepare for the next exam.
second test.
That was the main factor that prevented me from taking the top spot.
‘Theory test.’
The problem of writing down things about humans.
As a human being and writer, these are issues that I cannot be wrong.
The details I didn’t know were at a level that I could understand with just a little reading of the textbook.
The problem was about the demons.
As I lacked even basic common sense about demons, I couldn’t easily write down the correct answer.
Even for very basic issues.
Is it because of this reason?
Hebram, the instructor in charge of the theory, was glaring at me with a sharp gaze.
…. … … I had nothing to say.
From Hebram’s point of view, he seems to think that I made up my mind and wrote a false answer.
What do you mean by something you really don’t know?
I don’t know if it’s what was described in the original work, but the demon world was only a region that the main character’s party passed through.
so i don’t know
However, Hebram did not only ask for easy problems such as writing down the family name of the Seven Deadly Sins or the name of the previous demon king.
In the case of demon cadets, it was a level that could be solved if they studied even a little.
But no matter how much I studied, I couldn’t easily solve the problem because I didn’t have a base.
So.
If you ask me if I will use rice porridge in the theory test again this time.
・・・・・・ This time I’m confident…
I was able to get a perfect score on the theory test.
because.
Because I had Samuel who was called ‘genius’.
The day before the exam, I signed a contract with him.
In exchange for helping me with the theory test, I was also granting Samuel one of his wishes.
Of course, if it’s an excessive wish, I added an item that I can refuse.
Samuel also readily agreed, as if he thought there was nothing wrong with it.
Well, I did react a little reluctantly, saying that it was cheating.
However, I emphasized to Samuel that this was not cheating.
Because this was my ‘ability’.
:[Samuel]
In the status window, Samuel’s name is positioned as a proper characteristic.
How can you say it’s not an ability?
Samuel is my own ability that the status window acknowledged.
In rebuttal, Hebram is wrong.
Only what I said was right.
In fact, there was a reason why I went out so brazenly.
・・・・・… This time, I have to occupy the senior position unconditionally.”
An artifact given as a midterm reward.
However, no artifacts were given in this final exam.
It’s just a rumor that the ‘Elixir’ is given to those with excellent grades.
And unlike before, a better elixir is given to the chief.
‘It’s probably a rumor deliberately possessed by Saitan.’
It must have been an attempt to encourage the cadets of the Seven Deadly Sins to compete.
Anyway, that was a good thing for me.
Because I was thinking of preparing something based on that elixir.
It was better to make it than consume the elixir now.
‘Thanks to Adele’s mental method, there is no shortage of mana.
This state of affairs is enough for now.
And the elixir can be obtained in the human world.
I’ll start attacking the human world in earnest from my second year.
Besides, if I took the top position and obtained the elixir, it would be good for the demon cadets.
After all, what I’m trying to do is to save the Demon Realm.
Around the time I was drawing a sinister smile on my lips.
“Begin.”
Hebram handed out theory exam papers to the students.
As soon as I received the theory test paper, I opened it and looked over the questions.
As before, human problems seemed to be easy to solve.
However, the problem of demons was still difficult.
so that.
nod-.
He nodded his head at Samuel’s thorn.
“Samuel, let’s do it.”
…… tsk tsk.’
The two of us had an unspoken conversation.
Then I turned my gaze and sorted out the problems I couldn’t solve.
… … … He could have asked for all the problems to be solved, but since his conscience was sore, he decided to leave only the problems related to the demons to Samuel.
Samuel and I were thinking about how to share our answers, and we came up with a way.
That is, when the correct answer to the question is number 1, Samuel lengthens the thorn by 0.1 mm.
0.2mm for number 2.
0.3mm at number 3.
In this way, solving the answer only with a slight difference in thorns.
This difference, the excellent senses of my body, made it wholly distinguishable.
If the supervisor had been Ares instead of Hebram, he might have noticed even such a tiny change.
However, Hebram is not an instructor specialized in practical combat like Ares or Robold, but an instructor specialized in theory.
so,
‘They can’t see through my tricks.’
This is a perfect crime committed under meticulous calculation.
Like the development of any other novel, there was no chance of requesting a retest saying ‘I can’t believe your score’.
Hebram is not that I don’t know the problem about the demons, but that I didn’t solve it on purpose.
because I was thinking
therefore.
By the time the exam time has come to an end.
My test paper was full of perfect answers.
Dang dang-.
Soon the bell rang signaling the end of the exam.
In response, Hebram ordered the cadets who were still solving the problem.
“Everyone, get your hands off the test papers.”
“ah.”
“ruined… … … … .”
The cadets who couldn’t solve all the problems had no choice but to follow Hebram’s words while sighing in regret.
Of course, it didn’t matter because I solved all the problems.
Jerk-jerk-.
Before I knew it, Hebram came to me and started collecting the test papers.
food-
Hebram’s mouth subtly caught my ear as he looked at my exam papers.
It was a smile that seemed to ask if I finally solved it properly.
Hebram retrieved my test paper like that.
At this I slumped in my chair.
“It’s finally over. It was a very difficult test. Well, it was passable for me.”
[…] … … This piece of trash.]
He seemed to hear Samuel’s curse words, but he ignored them lightly.
I’ve said many times that if I get the elixir and get stronger, the students will benefit as well.
Why can’t you understand my big meaning?
… … It is Oho Tongjae (嗚呼痛哉).
Rather,
I turned my gaze to stare at Fron.
“Tsk.”
When Hebram looked at Fron’s exam papers, he clicked his tongue.
If it’s four years, then it seemed to imply this.
Fron only trembled at the sound of Hebram’s tongue clicking.
However, it was something I couldn’t do, so I turned my gaze away.
Perhaps Fron didn’t get a good score on this theory test.
anyway,
“Now it’s a magic test.”
I waited for the robot to come with a smile on my face.
and not long after
Queek-.
Robolt opened the door and came in.
“Let’s start the magic test. As I said before, this test is about the perfection of Silence Magic. We’ll start with the cadets in the front row.”
Saying so, Robold raised the female cadet in the front seat to her feet.
A female student who is quite nervous.
Unlike before, Robold stared at the female student with a hard expression.
Since it was a test, I couldn’t treat her as gently as before.
yet,
The female student manifested silence magic.
I could hardly hear her breathing.
but.
Robolt activated mana and concentrated his senses.
Then I could hear both the girl’s breath and heartbeat.
The female student unleashed the Silence Magic, which was only a ‘spoof’.
Robolt shook his head from side to side and started writing down the girl’s score on the paper he was holding.
Her score was 3 out of 10.
“Go in.”
“yes… … … … .”
At Robold’s words, the female student quickly moved to her seat.
Something that did not perform well from the first cadet.
The second cadet walked out with a more nervous expression.
The second cadet’s silence magic unfolded before long.
This time, it did not reach the standard of perfect score set by Robolt.
So the turn flowed and flowed, and it became Luna’s turn.
“Let’s start.”
“Yes, yes.”
Even though Luna stuttered, she concentrated on using the Silence Magic.
And Robolt admired Luna’s silence magic.
It wasn’t a level that could be said to be excellent, but compared to Luna’s level during the midterm, it was different.
“It’s become more natural in managing mana.”
“thank you….….”
“You may go in.”
Luna who unleashed Silence Magic, which wasn’t too bad.
Robolt wrote the number ” in Luna’s grade column.
A score of 5 could be considered average.
Luna succeeded in getting a higher than average score.
However, as the test progressed, cadets with higher scores than Luna rarely appeared.
Only scores that fall below the standard of Robolt come out.
It had to be.
…. … … … If you want to use it in real battle, that’s not enough.’
Robold muttered to himself and shook his head.
What he wants is silence magic that he can use in battle.
It was judged that it was difficult to give a passing grade at that level.
Around the time that Robolt’s disappointment grew even bigger.
“oh.”
Robold’s eyes widened as a cadet walked out.
The cadet who took the top spot in the midterms walked out.
huh-.
At some point, Fron, who operated Mana, disappeared from Robolt’s field of vision.
At this, Robolt had no choice but to open his eyes wide.
Simultaneous casting of stealth and silence magic.
Even if it was given full marks, it was a level where additional points had to be given.
Of course, there was no additional score for the magic test.
In the meantime.
huh-.
As Fron stepped away, Robold was able to read her movements.
Although the other cadets still cannot see the new type of Pron.
With Robolt’s enhanced sense of mana, he was able to read even the movements of Fron, who had been casting at the same time.
However, even this is a perfect score.
Robold nodded with a satisfied smile.
“It’s good to have a seat.”
Having said that, Robold wrote ’10’ in the score column of Pron.
but.
From nob le mt l dot comFrom nob le mt l dot com
No cadet has ever received 10 points from Robolt since Pron.
When the cadets came out one after another like that, it was the last order.
A cadet walked out.
The owner of an excellent magic sense that surprises Robolt every time.
Pixie Adele.
he will walk out
“Let’s get started.”
Robold said to Adele with a faint smile.
Robolt, who had already witnessed his simultaneous casting.
That’s why it was taken for granted that Adele received a perfect score.
Still, I had to evaluate it properly.
huh-.
In order to notice Adele’s movements, she activated her senses with mana.
Together.
I couldn’t feel Adele’s movements at all.
At this, Robold frowned.
Could it be that he is standing still to hide his presence?
For a more accurate evaluation, Robolt said.
“Could you please move?”
However, Robolt was still unable to grasp Adele’s presence.
Could it be that the instructor disobeyed his own words and stayed still?
Robold sighed.
Strong cadets often disobeyed the instructor’s words.
Robolt, who thought he should scold him later, opened his mouth.
“You may dispel the magic.”
It’s been so long.
Even so, Adele’s presence was still not felt.
I didn’t even see the new one.
“I know you have excellent magic skills, but now you have to finish the test, so please dispel the magic.”
I’ll admit it.
It is an excellent technique of concealment that cannot be seen even with one’s own senses.
If so, why are you still practicing stealth?
Around the time when Robolt is raising questions.
The cadets’ eyeballs began to roll.
what happened all of a sudden?
By the time Robolt tilted his head.
“Me, over there.”
A cadet extended a finger and pointed behind the robot.
In response, Robold followed the cadet’s finger and looked back.
I had to breathe in vain at the sight of the man who appeared in front of me.
A male cadet with a playful twist of his eyes and a smile,
Through the cracks in her eyes, eyes of different colors entered her field of vision.
A male cadet with both red and black eyes was looking down from behind him.
Ssuk-.
As if not to be surprised, he raised his index finger to his mouth.
