◈ Episode 84 1st test (3)
dang dang dang.
The bell announcing the end of the exam struck.
“finished. Stop writing everything. If you are caught doing nonsense here, it will be considered cheating and will be scored as 0.”
Rudger’s warning was effective.
Because the students all of a sudden stopped playing with the pen.
If it was Rudger, he would be the kind of person who would have left even if he tore up the test paper on the spot and scored 0.
“Assistant Sedina.”
“yes.”
When Rudger called her name, Sedina got up from her seat and hurriedly collected the test papers from the students one by one.
When the test paper completely left their hands, the students sighed, saying, “Go away,” as if they finally realized that the test was over.
“Eh. I will study a little harder.”
“ah! I know this! Ah, the expression is correct, but I made a mistake and the answer was wrong!”
“Oh, Mr. is this right? hey. What did you write this down on?”
“Ugh it’s frustrating. I was wrong because I fixed it!”
“I don’t know how to read the book.”
The students gathered among themselves and briefly scored the answers, but that did not change the answers they had already written down.
After collecting all 80 test papers, Sedina neatly organized them and brought them to Rudger.
“Good work.”
Rudger took the test paper and held it.
“Everyone had a hard time taking the first test. There are still two more days left for the first test, so don’t overdo it and adjust your condition to the best.”
Of course, even if you say this, the student who will cram will still cram.
Still, as a teacher, I only did it because I needed advice for my students.
Rudger left the classroom with those words.
“Whoa.”
The first test after entering Seorn.
Although the first one had just finished, Line felt relieved at the feeling that something had crossed the biggest wall.
‘No. Do you still have a lot of exams left? Let’s not slack off already.’
Still, the reason I can think positively like this is probably because I thought I did pretty well on the exam.
Of the 20 problems, none were submitted blank.
It was because of constant repetition.
When I first saw the test questions, I wondered why it was so difficult, but when I looked closely, I realized that it wasn’t necessarily like that.
I rode the flow like that and solved the problem in a trance, and the time of 3 hours had passed.
‘thank god. There’s no such thing as not being able to solve everything because of lack of time.’
Rinne looked around with a slightly relieved heart.
I was thinking of asking Erendir if he had a good time.
‘Still, since he’s the princess and his senior, he must have seen better than me.’
Contrary to her initial embarrassment, Erendir started solving the problem right away.
Senior and member of the royal family, Erendirni, this test should have been a little easier.
Line, who was about to ask with that thought, had no choice but to hold off on that action for a while.
“senior?”
“Uh, huh? Why, why?”
“Oh, no. that… … You look a little very embarrassed.”
“Uh huh? That, so?”
It was as Rinne said.
Before taking the first test, where did the confidence go? After submitting the test papers, Erendir was restless.
Shaking legs and stuttering.
That reaction is just like someone who messed up the exam… … .
‘Oh no. There’s no way a senior would do that, right?’
Line asked while trying to ignore the negative thoughts that were creeping up on her.
“senior. Did you do well on the test? As Mr. Rudger said, everything came out of the places he taught me in class!”
“uh… … really?”
Is it really
The moment he heard Erendir’s question, Rine felt the corners of her mouth twitch involuntarily.
The anxious imagination was gradually approaching reality.
“senior. that… … I don’t know if I can ask you this question.”
“uh? uh uh doesn’t care. If you have any questions about anything, ask.”
“test… … Have you ever ruined it?”
“… … .”
Erendir, who answered confidently, closed his lips tightly.
“… … senior?”
“… … .”
Wasn’t he even turning his head and avoiding her gaze?
The corners of her ears, visible through her gorgeous blonde hair, were burning red.
Erendir was feeling ashamed right now.
“Senior, no way… … .”
Line seemed to dare to insult her even in his own imagination, but he couldn’t bear to ask.
“Did you really screw up the test?”

flinch!
At Line’s question, Erendir’s shoulders trembled.
ah.
That certain reaction made Line realize.
Erendirga, the third princess of the Empire who was called everyone’s idol.
You ruined this test.
“… … really? yea, isn’t it? Senior, is it because you’re in a bad mood today? What have you been thinking about lately? A reflection on the future of the country? Is it because of something like that?”
In fact, he didn’t even look bad.
Wasn’t it Erendir who solved the test with more concentration than anyone else?
However, Line’s head was so confused that she had to believe that.
At least, the princess she thought was a great person who could easily occupy the top ranks in any field.
“Hmmmm. Is that, Line’s junior?”
Erendir, who had regained his composure after compromising his mind to some extent, cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
“People say Whatever it is, there is a separate field that you are good at. If there are things you are good at, there are things you are not good at. So what this means is, no one is good at anything. Do you understand?”
“uh… … So, senpai, it’s not that he’s in a bad condition, and it’s not because he’s exceptionally tired today… … Did you just fail the test?”
“Lee’s junior. you didn’t pass the test Just tell me it’s worse than usual.”
“… … Senior, just in case you don’t know, what rank were you last year?”
As Linne remembers, Ceorn has more than 800 students per grade level.
Of course, the number of students who drop out or drop out increases as they go up to the senior year, so the number decreases considerably in the senior year.
Every year, the number of new students comes in.
And Erendir is a sophomore this year.
If so, it wouldn’t be strange if her grades were based on at least 800 when she was in her first year.
“… … Why are you asking about stone tea? Line’s junior. Surely you don’t judge people by rank or do something like that?”
“It’s not like it’s 500th grade, right?”
“… … !”
The moment he saw Erendir’s eyes widening as he looked back, Line was surprised.
It was just a joke!
Erendir, who seemed like a model student in the world, was actually really bad at studying theory!
It was very shocking.
Even the other aristocrats were overwhelmed by her atmosphere and couldn’t recklessly approach her, so she became the third princess who always moved alone.
Just by looking at her appearance, she looks like a typical model student.
In the theory class, I was barely in the middle or lower ranks!
“Yeah, but… … ! In the case of practical classes, the ranking is high!”
Erendir shouted desperately as if making an excuse.
It wasn’t a lie.
In the case of theoretical writing, 500 out of 800 students. She managed to stay in the middle and lower ranks, but when it came to practical skills, she was in the top 30.
However, because he was born in a good family and has a natural lineage, he possesses much more magical power than other students.
The part related to actual combat was only possible because he received thorough early education even before coming to Seorn.
However, Erendir felt like he would burst into tears if he didn’t acknowledge it, so Line nodded in a hurry and agreed.
“Uh, um. What can you do! Besides, isn’t there a trend these days to value practice more than theory?”
“That, right? Hmmm. Of course, I admit that I am lacking in theory and knowledge, but I am also proud of my skills as a mage.”
Line responded to Erendir’s words even while breaking out in a cold sweat.
But on the inside, I couldn’t help but laugh a little.
‘As expected, people shouldn’t be judged by their appearance.’
It would not be an illusion to feel that the noble image of the princess she had known was gradually being destroyed.
* * *
The Chancellor’s Office on the top floor of the main building in Ceorn.
There, President Elisa looked down through the window.
“Finally, the first test has begun.”
Wilford, who brought refreshments, nodded at Elisa’s words.
“It would be nice if all the students got good results.”
“If you try, you will definitely do it.”
“Is that right?”
A total of 4 tests per semester.
Since the year is divided into two semesters, students have to take the test eight times a year.
The undergraduate course itself was quite tight, so it was not only the students who were tired or tired, but also the teachers who submitted the exams.
Above all, since it was raising the elite of wizards, there were times when the exams were quite fierce and extreme.
That’s why there were quite a lot of dropouts in Seorn’s higher grades every year.
First test of the first semester.
Students who were proud of themselves as geniuses competed with students in a similar situation for the first time.
You realize how narrow a well you have been living in.
You may have vaguely felt it during class, but there is a distinct difference between vaguely recognizing something and appearing as a distinct result.
In the case of students whose hearts were broken, it was not uncommon for them to leave Seorn after the first test.
“I hope many students will persevere this time.”
“So you didn’t deliberately ask me to go lightly for the first exam.”
“It was. Of course, even if you do that, the children who will fall away will fall away.”
Elisa felt sorry for that.
She didn’t see the competition as bad. However, it is my honest feeling that I would like to avoid ruining some students due to excessive competition.
As president of Seorn, she wanted to ensure that as many students as possible could receive an excellent education and develop their talents.
“Rather than that, how are all the new teachers this time? For the first time, you would have given exam questions while working as a teacher. Aren’t you nervous?”
“Would you like to take a look?”
Wilford brought the test paper he had prepared and handed it to the president.
In the case of exam questions, this was possible because the president had the authority to see them in person.
Among the new teachers, the one who gave the theory test was Brino from the Golemology class, and Chris Bennimore and Ludgar Celishi from the manifestation system.
In particular, this test was a match-up full of curiosity among the teachers of Seorn, as two new teachers who were polar opposites took a theory test in the same field.
“Hmm. In Mr. Brino’s case, he raised questions about the magic circuit that drives the golem and the structural mechanics of the golem, which is generally easy to drive. The difficulty level itself seems to be okay.”
“yes. He has a special affection for golems, so I think it’s okay.”
After quickly skimming through the test questions Brino created, Elisa nodded with a satisfied face.
It didn’t show anything more than expected, but it was just average, so it didn’t seem to be a problem.
“Next, Mr. Chris Vennimore and Mr. Ludgar Celish.”
“Would you like to see a comparison?”
“In fact, I can’t help but try not to compare.”
Wilford smiled bitterly and nodded.
Elisa immediately glanced over the test questions Chris had created.
“Hmm. Mr. Chris showed off a problem with <Magic Emission> and <Attribute Element>.”
“yes. which… … .”
“The same goes for Mr. Rudger.”
No matter how different grades they were in charge of, the fact that they were so blatantly submitting test questions in the same field was tantamount to Chris declaring war on Rudger.
“I must have lost my pride in the Dalian bet at that time.”
“After that day, Hugo Wurtegue’s faction had no choice but to walk around with their heads down for about a week.”
“Yes. It’s a pity that the sight of him throwing up every single time and then shutting his mouth was really refreshing. I feel like I have regained my old self-esteem.”
Elisa smiled as she looked at Chris’ test questions.
“Anyway, this test question seems to be Mr. Chris’s rather simple revenge. No, it’s not that simple, is it? It seems like you put a lot of effort into yourself.”
As a result, Chris Vennimore’s exam papers were literally full of difficult problems with all kinds of difficult words, and jargon.
“I am what kind of test is this It’s just bragging about self-knowledge.”
Elisa clicked her tongue and shook her head.
Chris Vennimore’s overbearing pride and self-importance eventually led him to the point where he gave out ridiculous test questions.
Can students really solve these problems?
Even if it was only difficult, the ability to discriminate was considerably lowered.
“They told me to come up with something basic for the first test, but they’re already messing around like this. In particular, this theory is a process that must be learned in the third grade.”
Of course, even if it was a process learned in the third grade, there were no students who knew about it.
Noble students from the upper classes.
They must have been educated before entering Seorn.
On the other hand, commoner students did not.
The problem itself is discriminated so that only students from a certain class can solve it.
Favoritism towards aristocratic students.
“ha. Really.”
Elisha had a headache.
You can’t blame Mr. Chris Benimore for this, though.
First of all, the test questions themselves are at the teacher’s discretion, and it’s not good to see her as the president interfering with even this part.
Just because she was the president of Seorn, she couldn’t do anything on her own.
“Well then, let’s see how Mr. Rudger came up with the problem.”
If it was the look he usually showed, it might be better than Chris, but not less.
Or maybe the problem itself is monotonous because of the overly rigid atmosphere?
With that thought in mind, Elisha looked at Ludger’s exam questions.
“… … what?”
She opened her eyes wide as if completely surprised.
