The entrance exam for ＜Skientia＞ Academy is conducted through 5 subjects.

Five subjects were able to be selected by each examinee, and it seems that the first test is passed if you get an average score or higher in all subjects.

And the second test is an interview.

There is no problem with the first round because there is [Contemplation]. If you can see through all the principles of the world [Contemplation], there is no such thing as a test.

“I thought… … .”

I activated [Contemplation] and looked through the test paper, but the test paper was not penetrated. I was able to realize the principle of the world that white is paper and black is text.

You got some really good info on this.

Although the price was a bit high, it was okay because I knew that [Contemplation] was not so all-round.

“No, I can’t look at it again, but this… … .”

The test scores did not meet the standard.

Fortunately, I was able to save 3 out of 5 subjects because I chose magic-related subjects, but I ruined the other 2 subjects terribly.

“Math f*ck… … .”

As a graduate of a natural sciences university, it was a matter of hurting my pride, but if you think about it, all the calculations I made while preparing for the experiment were done with a calculator.

It is said that I have already become a body that cannot live without a calculator.

So, don’t be ashamed of yourself.

“Well… … .”

It’s not my pride that’s hurt, it’s my stupid head. The expiration date had already expired.

Why did you think you would pass the test for sure?

I should have studied at least a bit, but I only believed in [contemplation] and behaved so stupidly.

No, [Contemplation] did a good job.

As far as magic theory goes, it boasted perfect performance.

The mistake was made by myself.

asshole.

“… … Shall we pack our things in advance?”

If you fail the test, the chase with the assassins sent by ＜Spellage＞ will begin again.

Still, the good news was that there would be plenty to spare.

Even so, ＜Spelling＞ wouldn’t have predicted that I would fail the first test.

I am a man who always exceeds people’s expectations.

“ha… … .”

But just in case you don’t know, I’ll go check it out with ＜Skientia＞.

Maybe because there are more kids who messed up the test than I expected, so I might have passed. I hope so.

* * *

I quickly glanced to see if my name was written on the information board installed at the main gate of Skientia. does not exist.

[Contemplation – Activate]

“Well… … .”

I looked even after activating [Contemplation], but no matter how much I searched, my name was not on the list of successful applicants.

I failed the exam.

To be honest, it was the result I expected, so I’m not that disappointed… … .

“Keugh… … . damn… … .”

Yeah, I was honestly discouraged.

To be honest, there is no way that Koreans would not know this feeling.

Even if you fail with disastrous grades, there are probably people who have checked the list of successful applicants several times, hoping for a chance.

“… … Shall we go back?”

But now I have to admit. I’m screwed. Before I worry about the main character, I have to worry about my own life.

Instead of dreaming of a pleasant school days, I will stand at the scene of a brutal chase.

“Here, brother.”

Then someone started pulling at the hem of his clothes. Turning around to check, it was a small child.

“I am lost.”

A situation that takes your breath away.

“So what… … .”

“Take me.”

“Where?”

“The faculty room.”

“ha… … .”

It’s obvious.

It’s so obvious that it’s rather difficult to manage the expression.

[Solvent] Tiamat can use Polymorph as much as dragons. And it is already a cliché that the head of the academy is a child character in the game.

And the cliche-yet-cliche approach is dizzying. Do I have to get along?

I honestly don’t feel the need for that.

“Do you usually play like this? Head of the academy.”

“Wow! Annoyed bastard can’t even get the mood.”

Hey, you have a personality.

Look at the hot red dragon.

“Isn’t it wrong for an educator to talk like that?”

“Is it okay to joke around on the entrance exam?”

Maybe it’s because he’s short, and his luxurious robes seem to drag on the ground.

Her finely braided red hair wags like a tail.

Large monocles and orange pupils slit vertically like reptilian eyes. Even the two huge horns that seemed to pop out before I knew it, and I could feel the heat.

In terms of game settings, he is an absolute being who will enter the title of the strongest.

And the Key Person who plays the most important role in the story.

[KP solvent]

Tiamat

It is usually called Tia for short. it’s my hope

She was glaring at me with a frown on her face.

It wasn’t scary because it was a child’s face, but there was a strange sense of intimidation.

“Follow me at once. Oz Quo Vadis.”

“… … I see.”

A command, not a suggestion.

However, I don’t have the courage to refuse in front of the strongest person in the world.

It’s a little out of shape, but here it’s better to calmly follow the child.

* * *

I arrived at the principal’s office.

As soon as Tia arrived, she sat down in a chair with an arrogant attitude and began to stare at me coldly.

“therefore? Let’s hear what the purpose was for that damn thing.”

“… … I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

First of all, I want you to tell me why.

But honestly, it’s not unexpected.

Maybe it’s because of my report card.

“this!”

“Ah, that’s it too.”

“What? is this kid?”

The expected result came out as it was, so the original tone came out without me knowing. I’ll have to be careful.

“No, nothing. Your words are in vain.”

“So what is this?”

Tia shouted, pushing my report card roughly.

Understanding Phenomenon Magic 100

Understanding Attribute Magic 100

Applications of Modern Magic 100

All items related to magic are worth 100 points. After all, Oz is great.

“You bastard, did you know the difficulty level of this test?”

“Well, it was nothing.”

By the standards of [contemplation], it was not a big deal.

Of course, by my standards, it was incredibly difficult.

When [Contemplation] was disabled as a test, it seemed that it was so difficult that even letters and paper could not be distinguished.

“Crazy bastard. Did you do this shit because it was easy?”

Tia pointed out other subjects, alchemy and mathematics.

oh, that can’t be helped

Alchemy 26

math 14

It was humiliating, but difficult. [Contemplation] It was nabal and it was just difficult.

Yes, I admit it. Now that I think about it, the difficulty of the test was like a dog.

I thought it was alchemy, so I thought it was a kind of making potions with magic knowledge, but it was a real exhaust chemistry.

It’s a strange thing.

It was definitely like that in the game… … .

Still, I thought it didn’t matter because I was confident in chemistry, but the damn world had a different periodic table.

The hydrogen was neither H nor C.

C is carbon Game creators, you C-foot bastards.

As for the math, I’ll leave out the sentimentality for my honor.

There’s honestly no excuse for that.

“Why don’t you tell me what you did this shit for?”

“Honestly, it was because math and alchemy were difficult.”

“You’re not telling me to believe that bullshit right now, are you?”

“Do you swear on mana?”

If you spit out lies while taking the oath of mana, that would mean that you betrayed mana.

And Mana was not kind enough to lend her power to those who betrayed her.

In other words, if you break the oath of mana, you will not be able to use not only magic, but all other skills using mana.

This world cannot survive without mana, so it is virtually crippled.

“… … Ah, it can’t be helped if it’s a mana oath.”

After all, an oath of universal M is a law that gives trust to the other party.

Because it was such an expression of determination, the other person had no choice but to understand.

“Then what? Are you that? Are you ill? Do you know anything but magic? How do people do that? At that level, I can understand why the King of Darkness defeated him, right?”

“… … .”

cross the line lightly

Still, be patient for now.

Although Tia has a harsh personality, she is not a bad dragon.

“You learn something here first. It is up to you whether you want to learn and take revenge on the King of Darkness, or get rid of everything and find another job, and for now, that is the condition for putting you under my protection.”

She was not one to let a gifted human die an empty death.

That’s the dragon’s sensibility. Prioritize one’s own interests and feelings over social or political stances.

“… … thank you Head of the academy.”

“Even though it’s a parachute I’ll put in, I have to take a formal test, so I participate in the practical test and interview.”

“Yes.”

She was such an existence that she even built an academy to impart knowledge to humans. She loves human potential.

He was a challenger in another sense who did not give up his faith in humans even while seeing all kinds of ugly human groups.

“Look out.”

“Yes… … .”

And she dies because of it.

In the game, I thought it was natural for him to die because he was an overspecified character, but now that the situation has become like this, I can’t help but feel bitter.

[Erosion degree 16%]

* * *

After the first written test, the practical test began a few days later.

Like the written test, there was a condition to receive a passing score in the test of the selected subject.

The good thing was that the practice only took one subject.

Well, even if a lot has been filtered out in the handwriting, there are still a lot of people left.

It would be difficult to get one person to look at multiple subjects.

“Well… … .”

Pajik-!

Try making a [Magic Bullet] above your hand.

The composition technique was written in the sample questions that came up during the written test.

I thought it was going well, so I interpreted it with the knowledge of Oz and developed it.

“It’s okay… … .”

Magic that wasn’t the first skill I ever developed. I still couldn’t use it without the help of [Contemplation], but there was a sense of accomplishment in that I made it with my own hands.

Of course, [Ruler of Mana] is an asshole skill, not magic.

I’ve never seen it work properly except for the first time.

Pajik-! Pajik-!

[Magic Bullet] is a basic magic that corresponds to the basic attack used by most wizard characters in the game.

Of course, there is no great power beyond being classified as a basic attack.

Still, am I not a SSR grade character?

It may not be a bit cost-effective, but if you press it with output, it will be more powerful than some R-class magic.

“Hmm… … .”

Gripping Jijijik——!

yep, that’s the output

When I used [The Ruler of Mana], it felt like I was pulling out a completed magic, but the magic I developed myself was different. During deployment, it is possible to pour more mana than necessary or apply it in other ways.

“excuse me.”

Coming to the academy was the answer.

If you learn by using Oz’s magical knowledge and talents, you will be able to get closer to the story rather than a playable character.

“excuse me?”

Of course, [The Ruler of Mana] also had its strengths. The point was that the speed at which the magic unfolded was abnormally fast.

If you think of general magic as a cooking process, the magic in [The Lord of Mana] is like pulling a finished product out of a vending machine.

Usually, you can use it with the feeling that it is a hidden card that can be pulled out at the moment of emergency after enduring with normal magic.

“excuse me!”

“yes?”

I thought it was noisy from before, but someone was talking to me.

I raised my head and glanced to the side to see blue eyes that sparkled like sapphires.

“… … .”

It was Eleanor, the main character of the game.

Yeah, if you think about it, all practical skills tests for combat-related occupations will be taken in the same way, so there’s nothing strange about being here.

But why are you talking to me? Was there any contact between Oz and her?

I’ll try to respond normally.

“Is that okay?”

“it’s okay. It’s just a noisy appearance, but it’s not very dangerous.”

What she pointed out was the [Magic Bullet] I was playing with.

Sparks are flying and the size fluctuates irregularly, but it is more stable than it looks.

Of course, if it wasn’t for Oz’s talent, he could have run out of control right away.

It’s probably the same even if you learn other magic.

For now, as long as you can complete the compositional formula, Oz’s talent will take care of it.

“Oh oh! It’s definitely fine! I like it because it looks pretty when it’s shiny and it’s gorgeous.”

“… … .”

While I took my eyes off for a moment, Eleanor was following me, unsteadily launching the [Magic Bullet].

Sparks are flying more splendidly than me, and the shape itself was irregular before the fluctuation in size.

That’s dangerous.

Even non-magicians could notice it.

“… … .”

Come to think of it, I think I forgot the most important part.

“how about it? Don’t you think the one I made is more splendid?”

The main character of ＜Broken Sky＞ who smiles with a dignified expression.

Eleanor von Chrysos.

Even though she is in a desperate situation and has to hide herself… … .

“uh? Something is about to explode… … ?”

“What… … ?”

It was a seed of interest without an answer.
