The first grade exam was announced.
“Oh …….”
The announcement was made on the day of the exam, as they had told us.
Adele looked at the entrance to the cave spread out before him, and his voice leaked out in admiration.
“Transportation hole. I heard that it is a high-class magic tool that is difficult to obtain, but it is definitely the best school in the kingdom.”
Elesia beside him also let out a word of admiration.
The entrance to the cave is a spacious grassy field, and the somewhat mismatched combination does not give a sense of reality.
Rather, it may be that the fact that they had just been in the school and now they are in a different place just by diving through a single hole doesn’t make it feel real.
[This is one of the dungeons owned by the school]
The lecturer standing in front of them opens his mouth to everyone.
[First of all, there are no monsters in this dungeon. So please do not think that there is any risk of dying. Well, you might get hurt, of course.]
A rustle. The students begin to rustle.
This time, the test will be held in separate classes. The students of S class, the group that will take the lead, were gathered in this plaza.
But for some reason, there were not only students from the first grade here, but also students from the second grade.
“(Hey, why are there students from the second grade here? ……)”
“(Are the senior students in charge of supervising the examinations?)”
Adele turns around a little.
There he saw the second-year students, the upperclassmen. And among them —Julius and Cain, whom he saw the other day.
“(Wow…that seems like a combination that was meant to be. Maybe what I said the other day was recognized as a flag by God?)”
“(Now, what is it? There’s nothing strange about an S-class being in charge of an S-class examiner…)”
As the two exchanged friendly eye contact, the examiner opened his mouth without further ado.
[The test this time is simply to reach the goal at the deepest part of the dungeon. There is a transfer hole, so the exam will end as soon as you return to the school.]
There is no defeating monsters. You simply go there and come back.
If you only look at the words, this test seems easy.
However, this is the best school in the kingdom and is based on merit. The students, who were tense, understood that there was more to it than just that.
[This is the first time to take the test, so it will not affect your grade. However, you must not let your guard down… students who fail to return within the two-hour time limit will be expelled from the school.]
With a gulp. At the mention of the word “expulsion,” a gulping sound came out of nowhere.
Even though it has nothing to do with grades, it is a straight line to the bottom of hell if you are not careful.
Then, the instructor’s person waved his hand and suddenly a ring appeared on the students’ arms.
On that ring, there was some kind of number written…
[The test is in pairs. Please pair up with someone with the same number to take the test.]
The number on Adele’s ring was 1. Glancing to the side, he saw that Elesia’s ring had the number “3” written on it.
Elesia noticed the same thing and fell to her knees in a manner not unlike that of a young lady.
“w-why……not pair with master!!?”
As usual, she’s going her own pace. Adele’s cheeks twitched.
At that time…
“Adele-kun, Adele-kun.”
Adele was suddenly tapped on the back from behind.
When he turned around, he saw Luna showing her ring.
“I’m a ‘1’!”
“Oh, so I’m with Luna.”
He was glad that it was someone he knew. If he doesn’t know the person, he will be nervous.
Adeel was relieved but Elesia staring at him enviously from beside him.
(Besides, if something should happen to her, I can protect her, right?)
Julius is here.
Even if Elesia is right and he is just supervising the exam, it is worth being on the lookout for him.
It was fortuitous to be able to work together with Luna, who is currently being targeted, considering this aspect.
[And for this exam, students from the second grade will be supervising the exam. Unfortunately, the lecturers cannot tell what happened in the dungeon. If anything should happen to you due to illness or injury, please follow the instructions of the senior students.]
At the same time as she said this, the students of the first grade began to move to look for their pairs.
Elesia, who was beside him, also got up and walked reluctantly, but stopped when she met up with Serena on the way. Perhaps Elesia’s pair this time was Serena.
And then—
“Hey, you are the pair of ‘1’, right?”
Again, a voice called out from behind him.
A beautiful girl with peach-colored hair that is side-swept, both innocent and bewitching. Such a student stopped in front of Adele and the others.
“I am Charlotte. I’m in the third place of the second grade.”
She seemed a little languid, but still friendly.
Luna, who was standing beside her, bowed her head vigorously. Seeing that reaction, Adele was…
(She didn’t seem particularly alarmed. That means that she is not an acquaintance of Luna’s?)
Suddenly, Adele looked around.
Julius, the important one, is heading toward the pair with Shana, and Cain is toward Elesia and the others.
There is concern about the part where the other two are in contact with acquaintances, but they are not in contact with Adele and Luna, who are the crucial fighters and targets.
If they were targeting them, people related to the third prince would be the first to come in contact with them.
(In the first place, students may not be able to interfere with this type of responsibility. Does that mean I’m being too cautious?)
Adele relaxed his shoulders a little and bowed his head, saying, “I look forward to working with you.”
At that moment —-.
“Adele kun, let’s have a little strategy meeting. it’s okay right, Charlotte-senpai?”
“Hmm? Ah, it doesn’t matter. I have no right to interfere in your exams.”
Saying that, Charlotte moved away from me a little.
Did she think it was unethical to overhear a strategy meeting aimed at conquering the exam? he thought she was a caring senior. Adele is a little impressed.
After confirming that Charlotte had left, Luna brought her face close to Adele’s ear.
“Be careful, Adele-kun.”
“Hmm?”
“That person is the one who rose from fifty-eighth to third in the rankings just before the exam.”
She said straight out in a small voice.
“I do not know this person, but there is definitely something to such a dramatic leap forward. Maybe she is related to Julius oniisama, maybe she is stronger than him.”
