Academy’s Second Seat

[ ※ 1st and 2nd grade joint practice evaluation ※

-Basically, the evaluation is conducted as an individual exhibition. However, it does not matter what kind of action will be taken when entering the practice situation.

-The duration is 3 days and 2 nights, and the venue is in Mount Gothrin.

-Individuals can earn points by fighting on the mountain, and the rank is determined by these points.

-There are two ways to get points. It is a way to make other students incapacitated in battle, or to catch a beast in the mountains. When a beast is captured, points are assigned to the beast according to its strength, and points are awarded according to its contribution.

-When you make another student incapacitated, you can get points proportional to that student’s rank in the individual evaluation and the points the student earned.

-When a second-year student renders a first-year student incapacitated, only half of the points the first-year student has.

-If you become incapacitated, you can no longer participate in the evaluation based on the points you had.

Yeniel looked at the rules.

“You seem to care.”

Since the midterm exam in the second year had no discriminatory power, everyone was paying attention to how the evaluation would proceed.

In this way, it seemed to satisfy most of them.

There was also a penalty of getting only half of the score when second graders attacked the first graders, and if it was conducted in an individual competition, there was also a discriminatory power of evaluation.

Yeniel went through the other rules and came to a conclusion.

‘Actually, it sounds like a word to cooperate… … .’

When a Beast is captured, points are distributed according to its contribution.

You do more harm than you do by yourself.

If so, acting alone may seem like an advantage, but to score high on this assessment, you need to work with the people around you.

If we hunted monsters together, we wouldn’t be able to score high in the short term, but in the long run, this was more efficient.

If you go hunting alone, you will meet other people.

If your opponents were in a team then, you might have to fight one-on-one.

If you lose there, it’s practically the end of everything.

No matter how many points he earned with his demons, it was as good as handing out the points to others.

In all these respects, the most important thing in this evaluation is to quickly form a team with the people around you at the beginning.

This ensures safety.

If there is someone going alone in the middle of the game, it becomes a game for the other team.

From the team’s point of view, the probability of receiving a person who travels alone as a team after the middle was low.

This is because it is difficult to know whether the person who failed to form a team at the beginning is the one who betrayed his team or the one who hunts the people around him.

Also, in some ways, it was more beneficial to catch that person and raise the score than to receive an individual as a team.

In addition, there were several strategies that could be number one.

However, it was not a strategy anyone could do.

There are special abilities, or the power to overwhelm everyone.

It was the winning method of such special people, not a strategy that ordinary people could do.

‘If anyone can… … .’

Two people came to mind first.

Rudy Astria and Evan.

They were out of context.

Guys who don’t even know how to behave.

In particular, I wondered how Evan would act now.

The last time we had a conversation, he looked really anxious like a navigator who lost the North Star.

However, there was nothing Yeniel could do.

Although Evan was concerned, it was not likely that what Yeniel said would change in the present state.

A word or two from Yeniel doesn’t change Evan.

Because people don’t change easily.

After Evan experienced and felt it himself, it had to change.

‘Evan, though.’

Yeniel ate up.

“What shall I do?”

This time, Yeniel was also very interested in her grades.

Principal McDowell told me to get good grades, so I thought I’d do what I was told.

Even 1st place if possible.

“It’s special.”

I was looking at the rules of joint evaluation.

“Still, there is no need to fight separately this time! All you have to do is catch all the beasts!”

Luna smiled brightly next to me.

“It would be nice to be like Luna… … .”

It couldn’t be.

It would be more beneficial to take down people to increase the score, but in terms of overall ranking, it was more effective to reduce competitors.

Rather, it could have been more beneficial to raise the score and defeat people.

When you reach the second half, if you catch the Beasts and catch the weak who have accumulated points, you might get a higher score compared to the fight.

“Rudy! So, where are we going to meet? Let’s get together and catch a lot of magical beasts together!”

“Is that so?”

Still, I’m glad I didn’t have to fight with someone I knew.

There was no reason to face Liena Luna.

Liena Luna is a high rank and it was difficult for me to deal with.

With this rule, there was no reason to fight Luna and Li.

“Then let’s talk to Lee! Let’s find a place to gather! Also, to others!”

“… … Don’t collect too much.”

As Luna spoke with excitement, anxiety rose.

I’m talking as if I’m deciding who to go on a picnic with… … .

“Of course! I will only tell people I know!”

“okay… … .”

It was awkward, but I didn’t have time to worry about that part.

I had work to do.

“First… … .”

I touched the booklet handed out by the academy.

That booklet was the Encyclopedia of Demonic Beasts.

In the joint evaluation, what kind of magical beasts appeared, their characteristics, and how many points were given were shown.

What I had to do was figure out which beast would be most effective to catch here.

It would be nice to catch people, but I didn’t want to.

I didn’t want to attack people who were being nice to anyone who would harm me or others.

“Then, I must go now.”

“uh? store?”

“You can’t just stand in front of a bulletin board all the time.”

“Yeah… … ji?”

“I’m going to go to my room now to train and figure out about the magical beasts.”

When I said that, Luna made a mysterious expression.

He looked like he was dissatisfied with something.

I looked at Luna like that and tilted my head.

“What’s going on?”

“that… … Rudy?”

“Well?”

“Lee and… … Is there anything going on these days?”

Luna looked anxious and wiggled her fingers.

It was a clear-cut question.

I smiled at Luna like that.

“It’s work… … Have you been there?”

“Hey, was there?”

Luna widened her eyes.

“Wow, what happened?”

“We just roll each other here and there… … did you?”

I said in a playful tone.

“back… … Did you roll around?”

Luna said, ‘It’s absurd.’ … .’ ‘ he said quietly to himself.

“Lu, Rudy… … .”

I laughed playfully as I watched Luna cry.

“It’s a joke. You’re struggling a bit with things related to magic these days.”

“… … Magic?”

“I had a conversation with Lee about movement-related magic. There was a bit of a disagreement there, so we rolled around a bit.”

When I said that, Luna wrinkled the tip of her nose.

“profit… … . Rudy… … !”

“So, Tina asks a question like that? Luna who tried to sneak a peek is bad.”

Luna pursed her lips at my words.

“Then there is nothing wrong?”

“You know you are busy these days. What would it be?”

“By the way, what was it?”

“it?”

“In my personal evaluation, Lie asked me to hug her. It was so natural. It’s like hugging… … .”

My heart sank at those words.

Is it because a woman’s senses are so scary?

I laughed awkwardly.

“Is that so?”

“Hmm… … Or not.”

Luna looked suspiciously, but then disappeared.

“First! I keep flirting with Rudy! You know that?”

“… … Are you flirting?”

Isn’t that what happened when I went to Railer’s estate?

When Luna spoke, it was until she returned to the Railer estate.

To be honest, I didn’t really pay much attention to these half-joking words.

“… … Wasn’t it over with returning to the academy?”

“Hey, it’s overtime. It wasn’t over then.”

Isn’t that called overtime until you screw it up?

In fact, it was no different from the Indian rain system, in which rain is held until it rains.

It didn’t matter much though.

It’s not that Luna makes me uncomfortable, it’s because seeing Luna like that made me laugh.

“Okay then, try your best.”

“instead! Do I have to tell you if you think I like something too much?”

I laughed at such a stupid comment.

“okay. You too, go back and train.”

“yes! Then see you tomorrow!”

I waved to Luna and headed to the dormitory.

I went into my room and opened the booklet containing the name of the beast.

As soon as I received this booklet, I skimmed through it.

There were some demons I had seen in my magic class, and there were also some that I had never seen before.

I flipped through the booklet and opened the last part.

The beast at the end of the booklet.

Next to his name was written several states in red letters.

“Just looking at it, it feels like it’s going to appear salty at the end… … .”

Isn’t it common sense that if there are beasts with these warnings written on them, they will appear?

I smiled.

“It will be fun.”

The name of the beast written at the end of the booklet.

Its name was Red Dragon Hetzling.

Then, the joint practice had two goals.

The two with the highest scores.

On the beast side, grab the red dragon Hetzelling.

The students take Evan.

That was my plan.
