“Long time no see. Jis Deputy Lord.”
“Did you stay well? Roses Imperial Wizard.”
Jis greeted Roses Lwalin.
Roses Lwalin.
He was a cousin to the current head of the Lwalin family and held the position of imperial wizard.
“Abad, Chelsea, and Celia are entering Lumern in the same grade. ha ha ha! “As someone from the same empire, this is truly a blessing!”
Abad, the family’s son, is sixteen. Chelsea are fourteen.
From the empire’s perspective, it is a good thing that the three talented students representing the country entered school in the same year.
However, for the two families competing for the position of the most prestigious family in the empire, it could be said to be the beginning of a bloody competition.
“Abad will take the top spot in the Western Entrance Examination.”
“Is there any reason to be certain?”
“Clearly, Abad and Celia are capable of competing for the top spot.”
Rose glances. I saw test tube Albee standing on the podium.
“This test is unusual. There are many variables. And Abad has Chelsea.”
This means that the two siblings will work together to take down Celia.
Chelsea is one of the top five talented people among those who took the test.
If she helps Abad, Celia has no choice.
‘It’s disadvantageous in many ways, but… … But I can’t say I’m pessimistic either.’
There was a Joker here too.
It was when Jis smiled meaningfully, thinking of Leo.
A huge square magic mirror appeared in the air.
Oooh – the audience let out an exclamation.
It is a magic that allows you to see inside the hero’s world.
The test situation was relayed here.
The magic mirror glowed and a screen appeared.
The moment I saw that screen.
“Phew!”
Jis burst out laughing without realizing it, and Rose’s eyes widened.
There was no sound, but a girl with light blue hair was screaming.
A bonfire was burning beneath the girl, who was hanging in the air with her hands and feet tied.
And a white-haired boy holding a vine was adjusting the rope while smiling evilly.
***
When Chelsea came to her senses, she was hanging in the air with her hands and feet tied together.
“W-what is this?”
“Are you awake? I asked while I was awake. Do you want to cooperate with me? “Why don’t you do it?”
“I will make you regret tying me up in such a crude trap instead of eliminating me.”
Chelsea, who spoke venomously, created magic.
‘Huh? ‘Why isn’t my magic moving?’
A feeling that something is suppressing magical energy around you.
“Could it be true that the magic power is sealed?”
“that’s right. “I drew it.”
“Were you a magic swordsman?”
“no. I have no magic power now. So the sealing group is not that strong either.”
“Ugh! I never thought you would have magical skills! However, you can break any seal that is not imbued with magical power!”
“I guess so. “But only when I can concentrate properly.”
“what? “Hey!”
Chelsea was startled by the hotness she felt from her butt.
As Leo lowered the rope, the presence of the campfire was felt.
“Now, wait! stop! Wow! “Don’t get off!”
“so? Are you going to cooperate? “You’re not going to do it?”
“As a member of the Lwalin family, I am afraid I will cooperate with the Gerdinger people!”
“okay? “Even if my butt is fully cooked, I don’t know?”
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa stop! stop!”
Chelsea struggled.
A burning heat rose up my buttocks.
We urgently tried to destroy the seal, but it was not easy.
The magic sealing circle requires considerable magical knowledge.
A high degree of mental concentration was required to unravel even a seal that did not contain magical power.
Of course, it wouldn’t have worked if Chelsea had been a little more experienced wizard.
But she was immature compared to her skills.
Leo had seen it clearly.
Chelsea’s face turned white.
‘You can take the entrance exam from outside! If others see this!’
There is no such thing as disgrace!
Grumble-!
The hem of the skirt I was wearing caught fire!
“Aaaah! Hot! stop! That’s it!”

“I swear on my family’s name. “I will cooperate.”
“I will! Do it! “We will cooperate in the name of Lwalin, so please stop!”
Chelsea pleaded with tears in her eyes.
‘It’s easy because she’s a kid.’
He laughed and pulled the vine.
Chelsea, who managed to escape, cried and turned off the light.
‘Seo, I’m sure other people didn’t see me like this, right? okay. It will happen. You probably didn’t see it. Since the exam has just started, it must have been reflected in the light of others.’
But, much to her regret, Leo and Chelsea were the first to be transmitted through magic.

‘Hmm.’
Alby sighed with an unmotivated expression.
The world of heroes unfolding now was special to him.
The first page of his heroic story.
It was an opportunity for him to become a hero.
Albee thought as he looked at the test takers struggling in that world.
‘All of them are of a low standard.’
Alby clicked his tongue in annoyance.
A hero is someone who is recognized by God.
So people think of heroes as noble and dignified.
Of course, there are people like that.
But at least Albi was far from that general image.
He has a nervous and efficiency-seeking personality.
I don’t like being inefficient.
I didn’t like being bothered either.
That’s why I took this test.
Survival in the magic wilderness.
Those who survive are strong.
Although it is extremely simple, it is a good test to find out the good and the bad.
And the effect was revealed.
Eliminating competitors.
Fight monsters and survive.
There are two options given in this test.
The option for most candidates was to eliminate their competitors.
‘It’s ridiculous.’
They must have been thinking about something else.
It’s the fastest way to move up the rankings.
And the monsters that exist in the Forest of Monsters.
Orcs, gnolls, and goblins do not pose much of a threat to test takers.
Of course, trolls are dangerous, but because their population is small, they are not easy to encounter.
There are two mistakes that test takers made here.
first. I did not understand the information properly.
Albee told me about the exam content.
However, no passing criteria have been proposed.
In other words, we had to move cautiously, realizing that eliminating our competitors was not the solution.
second. It was a misjudgment about the Forest of Monsters.
This is a forest that many powerful countries could not conquer even if they raised armies.
Even low-level monsters get tired if they fight endlessly.
In such a situation, they fight instead of cooperating with each other.
If it were a real situation, it would be annihilated.
‘Of course, if you have overwhelming skills, you can subdue monsters and eliminate competitors. ‘You can have both.’
Alby looked at the magic mirror and curled the corners of his mouth.
Black hair and red eyes.
I saw a girl with a flame aura wrapped around her sword.
‘Celia Gerdinger. Indeed, it is as rumored.’
Celia was dealing with three trolls.
And after that. A boy with light blue hair is chanting.
‘The same goes for Abad Lwalin. The empire will have a bright future.’
The two, who were enemies, met for the first time as soon as they entered the world of heroes.
The two people, who possess overwhelming ability to pass this test on their own, chose cooperation rather than competition.
This is because I passed this test accurately.
‘If it’s those two, there won’t be any problem. Rather, it would be difficult to determine superiority or inferiority.’
He looked satisfied.
I think 1st and 2nd place are those two people.
The screen changed again.
The candidate reflected in the magic mirror was fighting an orc.
‘Was his name Leo Plov?’
The test taker who was caught first on the screen of the magic mirror.
And the test taker who behaved most bizarrely during this test.
Most people treat Leo as a crazy person who tied up the Lwalin family girl and tried to burn her on a bonfire.
However, Albee gave Leo high marks.
‘Whatever the method, obtaining Chelsea Llewalin’s cooperation is something to be evaluated positively.’
So I was excited to see what I would do in this test.
And what he is showing now is beyond expectations.
No, even he, a hero, was amazing.
‘It doesn’t have the power and glamor of Celia Gerdinger, but… … .’
The way he cut down the orc with minimal movement showed an endless amount of skill.
‘It’s an unexpected dark horse.’
***
Wow!
“Chwiaak-!”
Leo turned his body, leaving behind the orc whose heart had been pierced.
The sword was naturally drawn.
The sword swung with centrifugal force accurately blew off the head of the orc who was aiming behind him.
As soon as he encountered ten orcs, Leo immediately ran away.
Orcs are highly intelligent monsters, so if you give them an opportunity, they form a formation and attack you.
I hit the player quickly before that happened.
While Leo was cutting down the Orcs in the lead, Chelsea chanted a spell.
“Wind Arrow.”
I shot the completed magic.
Bubbubuk-!
“Kwaaaaaaak!”
“Chwieeek!”
The orcs pierced by magic screamed.
Seven orcs died due to magic.
Leo, who had cleanly slit the last orc’s throat, shook the blood off his sword.
And he walked ahead without saying anything.
Chelsea, who was following behind, muttered to herself.
‘Combat is easy.’
Even if you aspire to be a battle mage, a wizard is a wizard.
The most efficient tactic is to leave the front line to excellent warriors and focus on fire support from the rear.
And Chelsea felt that she and Leo fit together very well.
I was upset when I was intimidated and unintentionally joined a party with Leo, but now that I’ve fought three battles, I feel like I did a good job.
It’s not just about dealing with monsters.
Monsters are cleverly crowded into one place so that the magic can be most effective.
Magic is a wide area attack.
Of course, the more enemies there are together, the greater the effect.
“That’s pretty cool. You can easily cook orcs without using an auror.”
“I don’t know how to use Auror.”
“what?”
“I haven’t learned it yet.”
‘Is it possible to move like that without using Aura?’
While I had doubts, I also understood why I had suffered earlier.
‘Because I didn’t use Auror, I couldn’t detect mana.’
Chelsea put her chin and hand on her waist and looked triumphant.
“You’re revealing your secret like that! “How foolish!”
“You can’t subdue me with your skills right now, so don’t worry.”
“Ho ho ho! “You’re bluffing.”
“I was just telling the truth.”
Leo said harshly.
“Honestly, you have amazing skills.”
“huh?”
“He must have strong magical power and know various spells.”
“Nothing will be lost on you if you praise honestly.”
Although I said it calmly, I felt good about the sudden compliment.
“But that’s the problem.”
“huh?”
“My skills are so good that I can’t properly capture the essence of wind magic.”
Chelsea has a fighting style that overwhelms opponents with powerful magic.
That’s not the essence of wind magic.
“Our family’s pride is wind magic. Discussing wind magic in front of Lwalin? “It’s ridiculous.”
Chelsea scoffed.
Leo’s current remarks are unacceptable.
She chanted a spell in rune and extended her staff to one point.
“Wind break.”
“Grrrrrr!”
A sharp blade of wind flew into the bush and tore the suffocating troll to pieces.
The troll on the ground wriggled and fell limp.
It was Chelsea who showed off her strength with a high-level spell she had cast in advance to make Leo feel intimidated.
‘You can’t be fussy just because you know a little about magic! ‘You must be surprised to see this now, right?’
Chelsea looks proud.
Leo looked at this with a sour expression.
“That’s not how wind magic is used.”
The biggest advantage of wind magic is its versatility.
Simply pressing down with force is the attack method that worst utilizes the characteristics of wind magic.
Chelsea looked tearful at Leo’s words.
And he turned his head as if he didn’t want to hear it.
‘but. I can’t even use magic right now, so it would be ridiculous to say something like this.’
I don’t know what it would have been like in my past life, but I haven’t mastered magic yet.
Leo, who was laughing, suddenly stopped walking.
Chelsea’s eyes also turned round.
There were troll corpses scattered around.
But the condition of the body was strange.
It was so dry, as if it had been sucked out of its vitality.
“What happened to me? “There won’t be any monsters that suck life out of the Forest of Monsters, right?”
Chelsea looked at the body with a puzzled expression.
Leo narrowed his eyes after touching the corpse.
‘This can’t be right.’
“I think the priority is to join Celia and your brother. “I know roughly what the passing standards are for this test.”
“huh? What?”
Leo smiled meaningfully as he looked at Chelsea, who had a surprised expression on her face.
“Capturing this world.”
