84 – Grade Assessment (4)

One turn forward up to the order of one hundred.

-Pun! beep! Subtract!

“… … .”

Claire looks at the fairy with worried eyes as she thrusts her two trivial fists forward with her upper body sticking out of her pocket.

Inside the clear glass wall right in front of you.

Inside, a student holding a shield the size of himself is taking an exam.

[Kuh! Keugh! Whoops… … !!]

[Oohhh!!]

The groans of the students and the roar of the monster created by the summoning machine resonated throughout the auditorium through the speakers that conveyed the internal sound.

[Ouch… ?!]

Lim Kyung-soo, a male student whose only job is to block Iron Bear’s front paw strike, which is 6m tall.

He is the student who remains in my lecture now, and also the one who was placed in the same group as Baek Ha-na in the previous practice.

‘It’s still lousy.’

Of course, it was not the present, but the future, and it was posted next to Baek Ha-na, but even taking that into account, Im Kyung-soo taking the exam was pathetic enough to think that watching was a waste of time.

[Destroy—!!]

The impact-packed shield eventually shattered.

[thank you for your effort.]

Soon after, the exit order is given and a sweaty Lim Kyung-soo comes out of the summoning machine with a grim face and disappears into the waiting room.

Choosing a shield that was larger and heavier than the one originally used was a deductible factor, but a more serious problem was that he had no will to attack.

“Uh, professor… … .”

While watching the summoner being put in order, I turned my head at Claire’s call.

She said to me, looking worriedly at the fairy who was laughing out of her pocket.

“I am concerned that this child may be a little violent in his eyes… .”

– Beep?

A little bad guy who, like a ghost, raises his head this way and blinks his eyes. I answered with round green eyes.

“It’s overprotective.”

“… … .”

It’s subtle, but there’s a small change in Claire’s gaze that reaches me. When I turned my head to him, I could see blue eyes with a slight puzzlement in them.

“Even if you hit someone with that little hand, it won’t even itch. Fairies only like to play pranks, not those who enjoy torturing others.”

“… … Ahh… yes.”

I don’t know what he was thinking, but Claire nodded, shaking the worry out of her eyes.

[#62 Hana Baek, please enter the summoning machine. ]

Through the broadcast, Hana Baek is called.

“It’s Hana-san’s turn.”

“You taught me, so you will do well.”

“… Great.”

Bring the opposite hand to your mouth and cough lightly.

When I first met her, it was a shyness that I would never have seen.

“Ha, Miss Hana has arrived.”

“Right.”

I tried to say that it was not a good word, but I decided to stop. It was fortunate that greed was offset by futility, but if you’re not conscious like now, you can’t properly control your sense of distance.

He closed his mouth and turned his gaze toward Hana Baek, who had walked out in front of the summoning machine.

The guy, with his hair neatly tied up like the first snow, entered the summoning machine wearing the gloves I had given him.

‘It seems to be getting more and more like Claire.’

Although her eyes are a little more ferocious, Baek Ha-na, who was standing in front of someone other than myself, was basically wearing the cold atmosphere Claire had shown in the past.

-Beep!! Beep!!

As soon as the fairy, who had calmed down for a while, found Baekhana, it came out of her pocket and tried to fly toward it. It’s just that I didn’t see him last weekend, but he seemed to like Baek Ha-na quite a bit.

“This is not playtime.”

-Beep… … ?

Claire gently caressed the fluttering fairy with one hand and placed it on her shoulder.

“I’ll see you later, so you have to be quiet.”

-Puuu… … .

The guy who learned a lot of strange things from Baek Ha-na sticks out his lips and puffs out his cheeks, and Claire pokes at it and smiles vaguely.

[Starts after a 5-second count. Please prepare.]

The number began to decrease one by one through the speaker, and Claire, who had been soothing the fairy, also turned her head to look at the summoner again.

[3, 2… … .]

Iron Bear, which had stopped in the summoned state, revealed its sharp teeth.

[Oohhh!!]

At the end of the count, Iron Bear charged at Baekhana.

-Beep!! Beep beep!!

Unlike Lim Kyung-soo, the fairy pointed at Claire’s cheek with her small hand and at Baek Ha-na with the other hand and spat out the sound of a chick without stopping.

-Beep, beep?!

The distance narrowed in an instant, and right before Iron Bear rammed a hundred bullets into his head, he covered his eyes with both hands. It’s a contradictory reaction to the point where I doubt if he’s the guy who was excited to see Lim Kyung-soo getting hurt just a moment ago.

[ ――!! ]

-Pun?!

A tremendous roar roared through the speakers and hit the entire room.

“… You’ve gained a little more strength in a few months.”

Just before colliding with Iron Bear, one hundred fists struck him right on the head, and Iron Bear disintegrated into magical particles and scattered.

It was a result achieved only with a body strengthened with magical power without manifesting any ability.

[ After a 10-second count, we will begin step 2. ]

In the place where Iron Bear stood, a huge praying mantis was implemented. It was Mantis, a mantis that Baek Ha-na faced in the entrance exam.

-Beep… … ?

The fairy blinked her eyes with a puzzled expression saying she didn’t know what had happened. Meanwhile, the count continued to decrease.

[Kiheeiik-!! ]

Like the one that first materialized, it spread its wings and rushed toward Baekhana.

[Kihee!! ]

Mentis, who has shortened the distance at twice the speed of Iron Bear, cuts down a diagonal line with his sharp front paws.

At a speed that ordinary people would never react to, one hundred pupils moved precisely following Mentis’ feet. And.

[Kihiiik?! ]

With my gloved hand, I accurately grabbed the guy’s forepaw and hit the vulnerable joint with the other hand.

Hana Baek jumped up holding Mantis by the paws that had fallen off and slammed him into his chin.

Upon being judged unable to fight, Mentis is also transformed into magical particles and scattered.

-Beep, beep… !!

The guy who was watching with nervous eyes clapped his small hands and ran around.

“Attack weak points with minimal action. Great.”

Claire was evaluating the hundred and one with serious eyes.

Steps 3 and 4 were passed without incident.

-That’s amazing… … .

-The public information says it’s a conversion system.

-So, then you’re saying that you’re at that level without even manifesting your abilities?

There will be many students other than Baek Ha-na who passed the 4th stage, but there will be no students who passed as easily as Baek Ha-na. That’s why the guild officials who won the observer qualifications and attended must be surprised.

-Let’s poke it… ?

– Arthur. It’s not a talent our guild can afford.

– The academy, which has been ranked in the world rankings, is different from the level of students… … .

– It makes me want to go home.

“Kuhm.”

Claire, who had been evaluating Baek Hana a while ago, coughed once again and slightly raised the corners of her mouth. It seemed that he had listened to Baek Ha-na’s evaluation just like me.

[ Would you like to challenge level 5? ]

The observers, who had been exchanging stories among themselves, shut their mouths and began to focus on Hana Baek once more.

Step 5.

This is the final stage of the exam, and is prepared for students who want to show off their skills. Literally, this is the stage where professors, who were curious about the skills of the geniuses who are admitted from time to time, arbitrarily put it in.

A mid-level rift monster that is almost impossible to compete with at the first year level is realized. The professors who watched Baek Ha-na seemed to want to see Baek Ha-na’s real skills.

[ no. I’ll do it here. ]

However, Baek Hana did not grant their wishes.

Sounds close to sighs flowed from the observers as well as from the professors.

[Thank you for your hard work. ]

The summoning machine door opened and Baek Hana walked out and headed for the waiting room.

“Sorry. I also wanted to see Hana-san’s skills.”

Claire showed a feeling of pity on a rare occasion.

I said, tidying up the side of her hair that the fairy had messed up.

“Then let me check on the last day.”

“Uh, uh, uh… … ?”

She tried to turn her head to the side, but as soon as my hand touched her cheek, she froze. Then, like a broken machine, only his lips moved.

– Beep!!

After tidying up my hair, the little bad boy who was watching it smiled and pulled my hair again.

“That, it’s okay, it’s okay… … .”

As I was about to tidy up again, Claire quickly ran her hair through her other hand. Since the day Baek Hana was brought in, she had been constantly grooming her hair, so her hands went out of habit.

I asked, returning my hand to its place.

“It’s a little early, but we’d better go to lunch.”

– Beep… … .

The fairy, who had been laughing until a minute ago, sat down on Claire’s shoulder with her wings hanging down.

From the moment I entered, I screamed and punched, and it seemed that my stomach went out right away.

“Yes. That sounds good. Ah, how about Hana-san being with us?”

“If you wish.”

“Because I promised this child a little while ago that I would let him meet Miss Hana… .”

I nodded and took out my smartphone and sent an email to Hana Baek.

That was all for the first day exam, and after being examined by the priest waiting in the waiting room, it was okay to go back to the dormitory and rest.

“egg plant.”

“Yes.”

I came out through the door I came in. Namgoong Min must have handled it properly, and the surroundings were neatly organized without any traces.

– Pia!!

The fairy, who had been hanging down weakly, found Hana Baek waiting for me at the back of the auditorium, and expressed her joy by squeezing out the energy she hadn’t had before.

“… … ?”

Just like a few days ago, Baek Ha-na couldn’t be seen or felt, but when I approached, she turned her head towards me. I put my hand on the head of such an admirable guy and breathed magic power into it.

“… … ah!!”

Baek Ha-na, who was finally able to recognize us properly, opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth. And then.

“sister!!”

“That… … ?”

He hugged Claire and smiled wide.

“Were you watching from the beginning?”

“Yes? Ah, yes.”

“Ah~ I did it very roughly… .”

– Pia!!

“ah!! You were there too!!”

Soon after, he carefully caresses the head of the fairy sitting on Claire’s shoulder. Those who were in the auditorium would doubt their eyes if they saw this guy now. Baek Ha-na’s expression now looked a little stupid.

“That, Woojin… … ?”

The guy who had been touching the fairy for a while finally turned his head towards me.

“Wow, is it solved?”

“I’ve never been angry, but if you ask a question like that, I—”

Pook-!!

The guy clinging to Claire jumped up and hugged me.

“lol… … .”

I continued talking while arranging the boy’s hair.

“Please finish writing your reflection. Today is an exception, so I’m giving you special permission.”

“… … Eh.”

The guy who was hesitant soon raises his head with a teary face.

“professor.”

Claire, who was checking her smart watch, called me when I was removing the bag that was stuck to it.

“Is it okay if I stop by the temple for a while and then go back…?” ?”

“I will.”

“Ah, that, it’s enough for me to go alone. Only this child… … .”

Taking over the fairy in her hand, I reconnected the magical thread to Baek Ha-na.

“I’ll be back soon.”

“come fast!”

Claire gave us a slight bow and quickly disappeared from sight.

“Woojin.”

“Get away.”

“Cheese… … .”

Baek Hana pursed her lips and shifted her position from her waist to her arm.

“I want gratin.”

“If you have the ingredients.”

“Aw… !!”

I lightly slapped the bridge of the nose of the guy with twinkling eyes and moved towards the mansion.
