◈ Episode 128 1st Test Result
All the students who had been chatting with each other in their seats shut up.
It has long been an unwritten rule in Ludger’s lecture halls that everyone remains quiet when Ludger Celish stands on the podium.
‘It’s still quiet today.’
On the other hand, Rudger felt a bit sad to see the students keep their mouths shut every time he entered class.
I felt that way even more after hearing that other teachers greeted me with a smile when they entered the classroom.
‘Did I do something to upset the students?’
does not exist. I taught the class diligently, and even when I was writing the exam questions, I made the questions as hard as possible.
Didn’t he even say that he would teach [source code], which has become his trademark, to students who placed in the top ranks?
Even if it wasn’t to the extent of a generous tree, it was enough to be proud of giving more benefits than other teachers.
Even so, such a heavy reaction.
‘I didn’t know that there would be no response like this even if I told them the test results.’
Perhaps the first impression was the problem.
At that time, the decision to get a job was made so suddenly that I was not prepared for it, so it was a choice I had no choice but to make.
‘I’m sorry, but I can’t help it.’
Still, since he intended to do his best in this role during the time he was in charge, Rudger decided to proceed with the class steadily as always.
“As I said before, I will inform you of the results of the first test before going to class today.”
Results of the first test.
In other words, it meant that the first test score after entering Seorn would come out, and that meant that he would decide his place in the future.
However, there were no students who reacted recklessly.
It wouldn’t matter if it was in another class, but if you did something like that in Ludger’s class, you’d get his knife-like stare all over your body.
“All seats will be posted on the information board by Sedina’s teaching assistant after class. But what you guys are curious about right now is probably not such a trivial thing.”
At Ludger’s words, the eyes of the students were different.
Most of them are full of longing.
Rudger decided to live up to that expectation.
“I will announce the rankings from 1st to 5th in this first test. And, as promised at the beginning, we will give you a framework of source code magic up to the 5th place.”
The students kept their mouths shut and stared at Rudger.
If silence was due to tension and fear when I first entered the classroom, now I couldn’t even think of speaking with extreme concentration and anticipation.
“First of all, I will announce the first place. Everyone seemed to be pretty excited about who would take first place, but they were probably right.”
The eyes of some students were focused on a female student.
No matter what anyone says, the first place would be Flora Lumos who won the title of genius in Ceorn.
“joy.”
Flora Lumos, the person who received that gaze, showed her composure as if it was no big deal while still maintaining an upright posture.
Flora herself also had no doubt that she was number one.
“First place. Flora Lumos.”
And, as everyone expected, Flora’s name came out.
The students reacted the same way, and Flora also lightly raised her nose.
It’s because she’s been fussing a lot lately, she was originally like this.
“And Julia Plumheart.”
… … !
When another name came up, the students were shocked.
All eyes were on the white-haired girl sitting on one side of the lecture hall.
She was still smiling inexplicably.
“Both are tied for first place out of a total score of 100.”
When the score came out of Rudger’s mouth, all the students had no choice but to agree.
If both of them got a perfect score, which is the maximum score, it was understandable that they were tied for first place.
“and. On the same level as that Flora Lumos? It’s no joke.”
“You came in at the top when he entered school. They say that the Magic Tower also pushes it, but it’s worth it.”
If you think about it, there was nothing strange about it. Because Julia Plumhart was the top student in the freshman entrance exam this time.
Even so, it’s on the same level as that Flora Lumos. I thought that maybe another genius had appeared in Seorn.
“Since there are two people in first place, there is no second place. I’ll announce the third place right away.”
Rudger’s gaze turned to one side of the classroom.
The three Musketeers, including Aidan, Tacy, and Leo, who received that gaze, swallowed their saliva without realizing it.
Why are you looking at this side of the teacher? what did we do wrong
“Third place. It’s Tacy Freeard. 98.7 out of 100.”
uh?
Aidan and Leo looked back at Tacy at the same time.
At the mention of her name, Tacy Freeard paused for a moment before clenching her fists.
“and. Tacey. congratulations! Isn’t it great to be third?”
“Is it okay?”
Aidan, who was sitting next to him, and Leo, who was sitting in front, congratulated him.
“Huh, heh. Got it now? I am originally this kind of person.”
Some of the nobles glared at Teishi with envy, perhaps not knowing that she, a fallen aristocrat, would rank third.
Normally, she, with her fiery personality, would have reacted to this and glared at her in reverse, but since she had a satisfactory result of finishing 3rd in the standings, she was lenient.
“Awesome, Tacey. It was worth studying hard.”
“Hehe. Aidan. Can I teach you a lesson if you want? how is it? Do you want to?”
Tacey blushed slightly and spoke to Aidan shyly.
At that, Aidan replied with a bright smile.

“no way. are you okay. You can’t interrupt Taish’s studies just because of me, can you?”
“… … .”
“Oh, oh! Te, Tacey. Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”
“I don’t know, stupid!”
Aidan was taken aback when he saw Tacy suddenly punch his forearm.
Could it be that I did something wrong?
However, the moment he was about to apologize, Rudger opened his mouth.
“Next is number 4.”
The students held their breath.
Up to 3rd is still fine. At least the names that came out now are famous people from before.
Teishi also ranks next to Julia in freshman entrance grades. It is not surprising that high scores were obtained here.
But now that those three are gone, the lecture room with the other two seats is full of tension.
From 4th and 5th, it is completely out of calculation.
Who is it? Could it be me? Or him? I’ll never be as good as that guy.
The attention of the students, who all had similar thoughts, was focused on Rudger.
He had the momentum not to lose sight of whose name his lips would bring out or who his straight gaze would turn to.
Anyone would be nervous to receive such excessive attention, but Rudger did not budge an eye.
I’ve felt it for a long time, but he really was a man of steel.
At that time, Ludger’s gaze turned to one side of the classroom.
Where the direction was, she was.
Erendir von Exillion. The third princess of the lineage of the Exilion Empire.
The students thought to themselves.
‘ah. The 3rd princess is in 4th place.’
Of course, most of them were opinions of freshmen, and some sophomores were quite embarrassed.
‘huh? The 3rd princess is in 4th place?’
It’s true that she’s a princess, and I know that she’s quite talented at magic, but isn’t that purely based on actual combat?
At least in their memories, Erendir didn’t even make it to the middle of the overall ranking in the first year.
“Rine is in 4th place overall. 98 points out of 100.”
“… … What!”
“Nonsense.”
And the name that came out was completely unexpected.
A shocked gaze turned to Linen, who was sitting next to Erendir.
At least, from the 1st to the 3rd place in the rankings that have appeared so far, all of them were nobles.
Of course, Teishi was a fallen aristocrat, so he was different from normal aristocrats, but at least thinking that way made the other students feel relieved.
But isn’t Rinne a commoner without a castle?
“Me, me?”
Renee, the person involved, was quite taken aback as if she didn’t know her name would come out.
I didn’t study for a high ranking, I just did my best at the given moment.
Rudgar nodded silently.
There was no way Rudger would lie in a situation like this, so it was clear that she was fourth overall.
Linen felt like his mind was floating in the sky. She didn’t even expect it, but it was a natural reaction because the best results came out.
“Lee… … You are amazing.”
“Oh, no. What.”
Erendir was quite taken aback as if he hadn’t known that Linen would achieve such great results.
At least as a senior, I wanted to show a more respectable and cool image, but I was pushed behind in the theory test!
It was a joy for her, but also quite heartbreaking.
The reaction of other students was also quite mixed. This was especially true of the aristocratic students.
Most of the glances glare at Line were hostile.
Nothing else, it was hard to accept the reality of losing to a commoner.
Moreover, Line is the one who caused a commotion by having a conflict with an aristocratic student from before.
At that time, Lin did nothing wrong, but the aristocratic students already recognized him as an arrogant commoner who dared to confront the nobles.
As a result, even if she got good grades, her gaze was not good.
“quiet.”
Rudger’s voice immediately caught the atmosphere in the classroom, which was about to become noisy.
“If you’re unhappy with your grades, tell me.”
No student objected to that statement. There was no way I could have said to Ludger’s face that I was dissatisfied with the result without going crazy.
In the end, the aristocratic students decided to let go of the fact that commoners took 4th place.
At least if so.
For the last 5 places, the name of an aristocrat must be included to fill this shattered pride.
“I will announce the 5th place.”
The aristocratic students swallowed their saliva.
Some even had cold sweat on their clenched fists.
“Fifth is Leo. 94.3 out of 100 overall.”
Contrary to expectations, however, it was Leo, a commoner, who placed his name in fifth place.
Aidan opened his eyes and stared at Leo.
This chic blue-haired boy still had a sad face, as if he was not very moved by his 5th place finish.
Tacey stuttered, probably not knowing that Leo would finish fifth.
“You, what are you? Did you do well?”
“I just did it in moderation.”
“joy. If so, I’m in 3rd place. know? It’s different from you, who is in 5th place.”
“Who said what?”
The two bicker as usual.
However, the other students were not as comfortable as Taishy or Leo.
Two of the top five seats were occupied by commoners.
In other words, it meant that the aristocratic students who did not rank in the top 5 were inferior to those two commoners.
There are only three pure nobles out of all five seats. One of them is the daughter of a fallen aristocratic family who is not even treated as a noble.
To be lower than commoners was the most disgraceful thing for nobles.
‘He’s staring very blatantly.’
Leo felt the enemy’s youthful gaze directed at him.
They were all aristocratic students who were full of a sense of choosing.
Just by looking at his eyes, it seemed like he was shouting ‘just a commoner’, so Leo was dumbfounded.
They didn’t make it into the rankings because they couldn’t study, so why are they staring at this side?
‘Tsk. That’s why I don’t even want to deal with nobles.’
Leo was not the type to bow down just because his opponent was an aristocrat. He was rather more of a rebel.
That’s why Leo sneered at the students who were glaring at him as if they were going to kill him.
profit!
Some nobles tried to react in a fit of fuss, but a handful of remaining patience made them aware that they were currently in class.
Now on the podium is that Ludger Celish.
That man who didn’t even care if the other person was a noble was feared by noble students.
“Above all, the five names called come to the teacher’s office after class and receive the framework. It doesn’t matter if you don’t come right away, but you have to get it at least until the second test.”
After saying that, Rudger gestured to his assistant, Sedina, who was standing still next to him.
Sedina moved right away and handed out the papers to the students. It was the material for today’s class.
“So let’s start class. What I am going to teach today is a magic circle based on <Magic Release>.”
The magic circle is the most basic field for magicians.
Right now, I use a magic formula that draws a line connected by magic in a three-dimensional space, but I drew a magic circle long before that.
‘A magic circle?’
‘Is today’s class surprisingly normal?’
The magic circle is still a useful study.
Talismans or artifacts made by inscribing magic on objects require a magic circle.
Since three-dimensional techniques are not suitable for engraving on objects or paper, magic circles that can be created as if drawing on a flat surface were still in the limelight.
Above all, magic circles last longer than spells.
The spell engraved in the air is a one-time use that exerts magic only once, but once the magic circle is engraved, it will be maintained for a long time until the trace disappears.
That’s why the magic circle is still regarded as a basic yet important discipline for magicians.
“Look.”
Rudger immediately drew a circle on the magic board.
A perfectly perfect circle was drawn in the center of the board.
“Most magic circles are drawn around a circle. It’s an old tradition, but it has its own meaning.”
The magic circle is drawn as a circle because this figure represents the world itself.
In addition, the circle was also a figure containing a firm belief that it protects oneself from external forces.
Therefore, the magic circle has always been developed in such a way that a circle is first drawn, then a double circle is added to it, or various shapes are drawn.
“But this is something everyone knows. I don’t even want to teach you these boring things.”
Rudger said so and erased the circle he had drawn.
Instead, Rudger drew another pattern on the magic board.
“This is the magic circle I will teach you guys.”
The students who saw the magic board were perplexed.
It was worth it. The pattern Ludger had just created was not a circle that could be called the foundation of a magic circle.
“What is that?”
“Is that a magic circle?”
It is a shape that cannot be understood with conventional common sense.
It was square.
