#46. Magic Academy Graduation Exam
Adele Sharon’s exclusive manager, Lee Ha-na, answered the phone with a long sigh.
“Ha, CEO. You know my sister’s personality. How can I stop you? And it’s not that I’m doing anything bad, but I’m finally going to take the academy graduation exam, which has been delayed for 10 years, so there’s no reason to stop me anymore… .”
Hana took her ears off for a moment as she heard someone yelling something over the receiver, then picked it up again.
“… That’s difficult, Mr. President. It’s already an hour before the graduation exam… .”
A louder sound came from the other end of the receiver, and the phone was harshly disconnected along with the sound of something breaking.
“Hehe, I won’t be able to live up to my name if I keep doing this.”
Lee Ha-na stared blankly at the hung up phone call and then turned her gaze straight ahead.
Magic Academy students were standing in an orderly manner on the playground, and the huge playground was already filled with participants for the graduation exam.
“Ah, then before the graduation exam for the 231st Magic Academy begins… .”
Starting with a sermon from the principal, who resembled Santa Claus, all the academy students were struggling to resist boredom.
In the back row on the left, a female student wearing a hat pulled down and a large mask attached.
Adele Sharon was quite excited by the feel of the dirt floor of the playground, the first time she had stood in a long time.
‘They say you don’t know what’s ahead in life.’
Who would have thought that the day would come when one could participate in the graduation exam without worrying about one’s grades?
She enrolled at the age of 20, but had been putting it off for 10 years because she did not have the courage to pass the graduation exam.
‘I don’t really like that guy, but… .’
Still, it was true that I had a glimmer of hope for graduation thanks to that person named Yu Dam-deok.
Now, she could feel a large amount of mana flowing through her body, different from before.
‘What exactly is this guy who puts out such great things so casually?’
On the day he roared from the rooftop, Damdeok handed him various items with a nonchalant expression.
The first item was Mana Elixir.
‘Looking at the fact that he generously gave away that precious elixir, it seems that being rich is not a lie.’
In fact, to the gods, mana was just a power with a weaker concentration than divine power. Therefore, things like Mana Elixir were so cheap that they were sold for free in the Gods’ Store, but Adele Sharon was completely unaware of that fact.
‘He looks far from a really rich person.’
It looks like a wolf running across the plains… .
Of course, Adele herself had enough money to buy the elixir. However, the elixir that Damdeok gave was not the end.
‘Where on earth did this come from?’
Adele Sharon took out a pair of gloves from her pocket.
The white magic gloves that Damdeok gave him that day, and the colorful jewels embedded in the snow-white gloves were the precious spirit stones.
‘I thought spirit stones only existed in legends… .’
Spirit stones were precious items that were difficult to obtain no matter how much money you had.
A spirit stone, a legendary stone that can create magic with just a small amount of mana thanks to the spirit’s protection.
Therefore, Adele Sharon had no choice but to accept the gloves given by Damdeok as if she were possessed.
‘Anyway, in a strange way, it puts people off.’
Adele suddenly accepted Damdeok’s proposal and began training to clear this graduation exam using gloves with spirit stones and mana elixir as aids.
And in that training, a man named Yoo Dam-deok was born to be an instructor.
‘That guy uses strange weapons… ‘It’s so strong.’
Adele Sharon truly thought so.
When Damdeok approached him wielding a sword, he didn’t even seem to be very fast.
Although he himself was able to implement magic of about 2 circles with the spirit gloves and mana elixir, it was not easy to keep up with Damdeok’s speed.
‘But it helped me a lot. At this level, I should be able to pass the graduation exam.’
The academy’s traditional graduation exam involved slaying monsters that escaped from a place called the ‘Curse Pit’ in the northern forest.
Monsters had been coming out of the pit for a very long time, but it was controlled by the Atlaum guards, so it was not considered a very dangerous place.
‘I couldn’t even use magic in my first graduation exam because I always lost more mana when I was nervous.’
However, it is different now.
As long as you have enough mana elixir and gloves with this spirit stone in them, you will be able to hunt small monsters.
‘I will definitely succeed.’
Adele clenched her fists,
Before we knew it, Principal Santa’s speech was coming to an end.
“Okay then, I wish you all the best and good luck! “The 231st Magic Academy Graduation Exam will begin!”
“fire!!”
As expected from an eastern academy where fire elements are the main focus, the graduates who vigorously chanted fire slogans moved in line.
A place we arrived at after a long walk north from the academy.
At one entrance in the dense forest, there was a sign that read, ‘Curse Pit Habitat.’
Although it was a long way from here to the actual cursed pit, I heard that among the monsters that escaped from the pit, the smaller ones mainly live here.
‘I’m sure it’ll be fine.’
When we arrived, Adele Sharon’s lips were dry.
It was understandable since I had never fought a monster before.
‘Let’s come to our senses. Adele Sharon. You are the superstar of Atlaum.’
A next-generation superstar who maintains his arrogance without losing his elegance wherever he goes.
I tried to come to my senses by using self-hypnosis several times.
The student who entered first, cheering from the front, threw the brown boar-type monster to the floor.
“Oh oh! chris!”
“It’s cool!!”
Everyone celebrated, whistling and cheering.
When the supervisor circled the student’s name on the document, the professors standing next to him congratulated him by handing him a wreath and attaching a graduation badge.
It was a very typical academy graduation exam.

‘I have never passed this formal test… .’
He thought it was okay for people to be talking behind his back.
When my hands start to tingle from clapping too much,
Finally, Adele Sharon’s turn came.
“next.”
The supervisor spoke dryly, and amidst the students’ whispers, Adele Sharon took the first step.
“Was there a kid like that at our academy? “It’s my first time seeing this face.”
“Wow, the equipment is no joke. “That thing stuck in the glove over there isn’t a spirit stone, is it?”
“Hey, at best it’s probably a mana stone.”
“But what department is he in? Spiritual Department? Department of Magical Materials? They say it’s not even a wand, but some kind of glove? “Kkkkkk.”
Several words came together.
If it had been like Adele Sharon’s usual personality, she would have screamed at everyone to shut up, but now she was so nervous that she didn’t even have the spirit to scream.
“If you feel like you can’t take the test, blow this horn at any time.”
Adele Sharon hung the small horn given to her by the supervisor around her neck and slowly moved into the forest.
How long did you walk?
Adele Sharon, startled by the sound of the bushes shaking, blindly created a fireball in the air.
Anything that comes near will be killed! I will kill you!
I gritted my teeth, but the person who appeared from the grass was a familiar man, Yu Dam-deok.
“Oh, the fireball is pretty big now?”
Damdeok grinned as he looked around at the fire sphere that Adele had created.
“You were surprised!”
“Noraegi, I said I would accompany you during the exam just in case. “They also had a hard time getting through the tight security.”
Adele Sharon was surprised and thought about shooting more, but then closed her mouth.
Damdeok’s jumper was completely covered in dirt, as if he had really come through tight security.
“… “I told you not to worry because I can do it on my own.”
“Do not be ridiculous. “If you die, I’ll be in a lot of trouble.”
Damdeok’s expression seemed sincere as he spoke firmly.
‘If I die, you’ll be in trouble?’
I don’t know if he’s worried about me or himself.
‘What kind of trick is this?’
Damdeok was already walking ahead.
“Looking at it, there are a lot of pig-type monsters here. “I heard that a student from the Academy just now was carrying a wild boar.”
Damdeok said as he lightly struck down a thick bush with his sword.
Adele Sharon was slightly grateful for Damdeok’s actions, but at the same time, she was worried.
Looking at the week of training, it is clear that the author, Yu Dam-deok, is an extremely strong person.
He wasn’t a very friendly person, but he didn’t seem to have a bad personality that made him a wanted criminal.
But why is someone like that so kind to me?
There is no kindness in the world without reason.
That was the law of sleeplessness that Adele Sharon learned during her long career in the entertainment industry.
‘How hard of a favor are you trying to ask me?’
He accepted Damdeok’s offer.
What he meant was that he, too, had to listen to Damdeok’s request after the graduation exams were over.
Although she was fascinated to see the gloves with spirit stones embedded in them, she was slowly becoming worried about what Damdeok would ask her to do.
But I’ve already come this far, so I can’t just ask for it now.
‘Oh, I don’t know! Anyway, if I graduate from the academy, my magic skills will be recognized to some extent.’
How stressful was it to hear the whispering behind your back?
Adele Sharon was now very sick of the sympathetic public opinion, mana deficiency and all.
And most importantly, Adele Sharon, she was the type of person who didn’t think about anything afterward.
Whatever favor Damdeok asks, that will happen later.
So let’s focus on the current task first.
Right now, all you have to do is get your diploma!
Just like that, a monster appeared right in front of Adele Sharon’s eyes as she gritted her teeth.
– Ugh!
Although it was smaller than a wolf, it was a wild boar-type monster with tall tusks and extremely thick-looking leather.
“Oh, by chance this guy showed up. Hey, are you okay?”
Damdeok asked with a slight frown.
In fact, Damdeok thought that it would be impossible to catch a wild boar-type monster with Adele Sharon’s current skills.
‘Basically, they have an underlying fear of magic, so they can’t use it properly.’
Is it because I have suffered from mana deficiency for a long time?
In fact, despite having the experience and equipment through training, Adele Sharon was having considerable difficulty implementing magic above a certain level.
‘If I leave it like this, I might die before I can register as a priest, so I’m working hard to protect it… .’
Honestly, I had my doubts.
‘Even with those good spirit gloves on, I can only use circle 2 magic. Are you really going to become an archmage later?’
In fact, the spirit gloves were not purchased by him, but were given to him by Jusoyul.
Did you see Adele Sharon wearing this in the premonition of the address? He also said that he got it by chance while working part-time for Gods.
It wasn’t difficult to persuade Adele Sharon since I was given precious gloves and a mana elixir as a prize that came with it.
However, Adele Sharon’s mana deficiency was a more serious disease than expected.
“Whew, I might not be able to do it anyway… .”
Adele Sharon’s hands were shaking slightly.
It felt like the monster in front of me was going to pounce on me at any moment and tear me to pieces.
Damdeok spoke clearly in Adele Sharon’s uncertain voice.
“you can do it.”
can do.
No, you have to.
In order to become his own priest, and to prevent the war of the gods together in the future, this guy must become an archmage.
Damdeok thought so and raised his sword again.
“Look Carefully. “How trivial are the things you are afraid of.”
Kwakwakwakkwak!!
The trees where Damdeok wielded his bluish sword energy were uprooted.
Damdeok was showing off various skills, including wave cutting, to ease Adele’s fear.
Of course, all the monsters around were losing their temper and running away.
Adele Sharon’s eyes widened.
Even during my week of training, it was a magic I had never seen before.
I thought I was strong enough back then… That wasn’t all?
‘The alternative interest rate is… .’
Adele Sharon’s eyes wavered for a moment but then regained their peace.
Damdeok is killing monsters that seemed scary as easily as breaking matchsticks. As I watch him, I gradually become psychologically stable.
Soon, Adele Sharon’s usual personality awakened.
“… Yes, you little things!”
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!
An incomparably larger fireball than ever before appeared above the forest.
“yes.”
Only then did Damdeok stop his sword and look at Adele Sharon happily.
“Everyone is dead!!”
Adele Sharon’s arms were stretched out roughly in front of her.
A huge fireball quickly rushed towards the wild boar ahead.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!!!
A huge roar sounded as if the forest was exploding, and not only Damdeok, who was nearby, but also all the academy students and professors gathered at the entrance covered their ears and lowered themselves.
Eventually, when the roar died down, everyone looked blankly deep into the forest.
There was a hollow hole in the middle of the once dense forest.
A professor muttered quietly.
“What is that student’s name…?” ?”
fantasy,
