Academy’s Second Seat

“Gosh… … .”

taken from readwn.com

My arms and hands were numb.

As I used my mana like a burst of mana, the recoil was transmitted to my body.

So I tried to do it in moderation… … .

“Exercise sucks.”

It seemed that I could not exercise properly for a day or two.

It might be a light jog, but it seemed better to refrain from strength training.

-for awhile… … There will be maintenance. The next student, please wait for a while.

With the host’s words, some assistants approached the scarecrow.

I broke the scarecrow’s face, so it looked like he was trying to replace the scarecrow.

I left those people behind and returned to the audience.

Then, Luna and Rie’s dumbfounded faces appeared.

“Did you say you were number one?”

“Rudy… … !”

When I said that, Luna called out my name and smiled broadly.

“awesome! Rudy!”

Luna wasn’t disappointed that she didn’t get 1st place.

It just made me happy that I showed a good side.

However, Lee, who was next to him, looked like he had a lot of heartache.

“Where else did you learn strange techniques?”

I raised the corners of my lips at Rie’s words and opened my mouth.

“It’s all about black magic.”

“What is black magic? Is it all black magic because your body is split? Come here.”

Rie grunted and looked at my arm.

His arm was stained with red blood as if the blood vessels had ruptured.

“What did number 1 say?”

“It meant something to me.”

It hurt a little, but I was satisfied with the result.

With that level of score, Astina is the only way to win.

None of the first graders in the current situation could win.

Then the voice of the presenter was heard.

-Student number 85, please come nearby and wait! We will resume evaluation soon.

I heard the sound and told Lie and Luna.

“I have one prosecutor left, so I will get some of it.”

“yes! Come on!”

“I’ll have to go get a test too.”

So I left Lie and Luna behind and went to the examination.

After I finished the inspection, I returned to the center again.

– Rika student, 220 points.

“eww… … .”

“Rika! Good work!”

Rie couldn’t see where she went, and she watched the evaluation with Luna.

“How did you really get close to 10,000?”

Rika said to me as she came towards us.

“effort.”

After I answered Rika’s question briefly, she opened her eyes thinly and looked at me.

So slowly it was running towards the end.

However, no one has yet surpassed Rie’s score, let alone my score.

So, I watched the evaluation with a comfortable mind.

-102, Locke Lucarion student. Please come to the center.

Then Locke’s name was called, and Locke walked out from somewhere in the middle.

I focused as I watched Locke walk out.

Locke needed to be looked at with a little attention.

He was a character who had an influence on the story, and he was someone to use if necessary.

In order to use it in the right place, it was necessary to know the ability of that guy.

And I got a little interested.

Lie and Luna grew faster than the original story.

Then I wondered if the growth rate of Locke around him would have been different.

Locke grabbed the sword and opened his mouth.

“Roc Lucarion, let’s begin—”

“Roc Lucarion!!!! I’m going to be number one!!!!!!”

Then a muscular man shouted loudly from behind.

He was Professor Jackson Pumpkin of the School of Swordsmanship.

He cheered for Locke like a father who is cheering for his son.

Why is that person doing that?

As I was thinking this, I looked at Jackson with a frown on whether Locke was thinking the same thing.

He looked very annoyed when he saw the criss-cross veins on Locke’s forehead.

close.

“Roc Lucarion… … . It’ll fade right away.”

Locke bit his molars and shouted to start over.

Then he took his sword and slowly walked towards the scarecrow.

“uh… … ?”

Usually, the swordsmen made swords and ran to stab or cut the scarecrow.

However, when he saw Locke slowly walking towards the scarecrow, Professor Jackson’s expression hardened.

“lock!!! This child!!! run!!!”

– Professor Jackson. It is being evaluated.

When Professor Jackson shouted, the host controlled it.

“Hey, hey!!! No!!!”

-Professor Jackson!

Locke walked slowly until he reached the Scarecrow.

Then he looked at Professor Jackson and smiled.

“This child!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

cock.

With a mean smile, Locke stabbed the scarecrow with the tip of his sword.

-uh… … .

The audience stared blankly at the scene and howling Professor Jackson.

– Locke Lucarion. 1 point… … .

“lock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Jackson’s desperate cry echoed through the vacant lot.

“haha… … .”

I smiled awkwardly as I looked at Professor Jackson burning white.

Even if Locke doesn’t show a good performance here anyway, it won’t be a big deal because Li will take him to the 1st and 2nd year joint practice sessions.

Locke’s grades are only slightly worse… … .

After Locke’s turn, it was Evan’s turn.

Evan was the last one to turn.

– Lastly, student Evan. Please place it in the center.

“after!”

Evan took a deep breath and walked out into the open space.

He was standing in the center of the vacant lot while holding his sword.

“Well… … ?”

I tilted my head at that.

As far as I know, Evan does not use a sword in this evaluation.

The reason Evan’s sword uses a sword is that it can block magic.

Evan’s main attack was magic, and he played a secondary role in defending the sword.

By the way, why did you come out with a sword?

There was no reason for that.

“Evan, let’s get started.”

Evan grabbed the sword with the horse and ran to the Scarecrow.

He ran like a prosecutor.

And the sword was surrounded by a light mana mak.

“What is that… … .”

It wasn’t black.

It was something different from the sword.

Evan ran away.

As he ran like that, he swung his sword when he came near the scarecrow.

It was a very neat cross-cutting posture.

and… … .

“It was cut… … .”

The scarecrow was cut as it was in the sword’s trajectory.

It was neatly cut like a radish cut in half.

When I saw that, I jumped up from my seat.

“Why are you doing that already? … .”

When I saw it, I realized what it was.

Andrei’s sword.

It is a sword that can cut mana.

A sword that projects one’s own mana and cuts the opponent’s mana.

However, this explanation is slightly wrong.

That sword was capable of cutting materialized magic.

Cuts materialized magic with own mana.

That was the sword.

However, the sword had its shortcomings.

The point was that magic that was not materialized could not be cut.

It can cut fire and water property magic like basic 4 property magic, but it can’t cut down non-substantial magic like telekinesis magic.

However, Evan in the mid-to-late game overcame those shortcomings.

Magic that cuts through intangible magic that is not materialized.

He created that magic by himself.

It was not difficult to explain the theory itself in words.

I just had to materialize the intangible magic.

However, it was a fact that even a novice wizard walking down the street knew how difficult and absurd this was.

Although this magic was conditional magic that required the assistance of Andrei’s sword, it was clear that it was a great magic.

How are you already using that?

In order to use that magic, Evan had been experimenting with the scarecrow for hundreds of hours at the training ground.

I’ve already learned that skill and now I’m using it… … .

Something that would make a difference… … .

I wonder if this happened because I broke the scarecrow?

Did you train yourself to break the scarecrow too?

No, it’s more of a problem than that.

If I learn that skill now, it was a problem during the first and second year joint practice.

It’s a skill you shouldn’t learn now.

If I had that skill, it would be difficult to proceed normally during the joint practice in 1st and 2nd grades.

silence.

The vacant lot was full of silence.

-that… … Evan student… … .

The presenter’s words were heard in the silence.

And what I heard next was even more ridiculous.

-0… … 0 points.

“… … yes?”

I asked the host if Evan was absurd about that.

-that… … 0 points?

ah… … ?

When I heard that, something came to mind.

That scarecrow is an item that contains both the magic that quantifies the impact and the enhancement magic.

However, when Evan cut the magic, it seemed that he had broken even the magic that quantified it.

-that… … Wait. After a little discussion with the professor in charge of evaluation, we will announce it again.

After a while after the presenter speaks.

– We will announce Evan’s student scores.

-Evan’s student score is zero.

– Judging that the understanding of the evaluation was low, I will not put it in the ranking itself by giving 0 points. but… … .

-The basis of this evaluation is to show excellent skills, and we acknowledge that there were problems in this evaluation, and we will give the highest score in terms of grades.

“What… … .”

I listened to the presenter with a puzzled face.

So am I number 1?

Or is it 2nd place?

It seemed that I wasn’t the only one who was embarrassed by this situation.

The other students shouted at each other.

It reminded me of a dormitory that was suddenly taken first place in a wizard-related movie I had seen before.

Is this the stolen number one or is it doing something… … .

@

I sat in my seat with a feeling of uneasiness.

I took 1st place in the evaluation, so I was wondering if I was 1st, but the feeling of uneasiness did not go away.

No, I didn’t like it more because it was vaguely like this, whether it was just giving Evan 1st place in the evaluation.

As I was thinking about it, the people around me slowly got up and turned around.

“Rudy, aren’t you going back?”

Luna tilted her head and asked me.

“Ah, I’m going to go see the second grade evaluation.”

The first year evaluation is over, but the second year evaluation remains.

However, people were still all going back.

There were several reasons.

First of all, most people already know the abilities of sophomores.

People who had been at the academy for over a year were already known about their abilities.

So there was no need to look further.

Also, the fact that Astina takes first place unconditionally.

I thought it was like a game where the first place had already been decided, so most of them didn’t feel interested and went back.

Most likely, those who remained were expecting Astina to show off her outstanding abilities.

“Are you going to see Astina-senpai’s evaluation?”

Luna asked me if she thought so too.

“Well, there is one more person to see after seeing Astina-senpai’s evaluation.”

-1, Borval student. Please come to the center.

Still, I’ll have to watch a match against someone with the same teacher.

Borval slung a giant ax over his shoulder and walked out into the open space.
