[373] Volume 16 – Senior Class Information Session (1)
A special tradition has begun for Class Two students to welcome new students to Class Three.
When Shirone crossed the steel door, the booing disappeared like a lie, and they split left and right to open the way.
Shirone walked along the road listening to the applause. Welcoming applause, but no laughter.
'These are class two.'
When 10 students in the graduating class graduate, the remaining 20 students are ranked according to their graduation exam scores. Therefore, the 10 students who welcomed them could be said to have dropped out relatively early in last year's graduation exam.
Amy was also clapping among them.
Last year, I was eliminated for the third time, so Class Two. And that's 18th in the graduating class rankings.
Shirone fixed her gaze straight ahead and examined their faces with the edge of her field of vision.
Men and women.
So far, that was all there was to feel.
Of course, some students remember their major because they watched the graduation exam last year. But now I felt like I was dealing with a complete stranger.
'If I can't break through here, I can't go to the top.'
Class 2 is the middle class of the graduating class, and becomes the boundary between the upper and lower ranks.
The average age of this year's graduating class is 20.6 years old.
Shirone is 1.6 years younger than average, but considering that there are senior classmates such as Fermi and others, it can be concluded that most of them are of the same age, and among them there are students younger than Shirone.
After passing the path made by the students of Class 2, the students of Class 3 turned around and arrived in front of the steel door. Then, one by one, they stood face to face with the class two students standing in a row.
"Welcome to the senior class."
A man with a confident face stepped forward.
Shirone could tell just by hearing his voice. Before he passed through the steel door, he was the most mocking student.
He was a handsome man with a gleaming impression, with his blonde hair turned all-back.
However, unlike a wizard, he was wearing a blue training suit that fit his body exactly.
He was about 175 cm tall, and despite his slender figure, his body was well-balanced to the extent that he never looked weak.
He had sharp eyes, a high nose like a wolf, and the tongue exposed when he laughed was strangely red, as if soaked in blood.
"I am the No. 1 Screamer in Class Two."
The moment I heard the screamer's words, the same thought popped into the minds of the students in Class Three.
'It's 11th.'
'You're in 11th place overall.'
Although he majored in light, he was in a different field from Shirone of photon magic and Dante of information magic.
No, strictly speaking, he was a bookmaker.
A hybrid type like the Gunner, it mainly uses tactics to confuse opponents with various light-type magics and inflict critical hits with schema's physical abilities.
Another person in the senior class who can speak schema is Amy.
However, unlike her, who had been learning for a while as a child, the screamer's schema was quite high.
The ability to enter a blind spot through the flashy movement of teleportation and end it with a fist drew students' attention in last year's graduation exam.
It is said that after graduating from magic school, he plans to go to the Colosseum and learn martial arts again.
After the screamer's turn, Pony stepped forward.
Her straight blond hair, calmly laid down, flowed from side to side along her pretty forehead like a half moon, and her characteristic expressionless expression clearly showed her intention to stuff her beautiful appearance into the scenery.
The white face, crescent-shaped eyebrows, high nose and pointed chin made one mistake it for a standing doll from a distance.
"I am Pony. rank 12. Major is Hydropower. The series is torrent."
If Screamer was long, Pony's introduction was brief.
Even so, the students of Class Three couldn't take their eyes off Pony. She is also a pretty face, but more than that, I knew that the most important thing in her introduction was missing.
'Ah, that kid is Pony.'
Alpheas Magic School's only royal family.
Although she is of maternal lineage and is far from the core power, she was a standard among the royal family, and she was a girl who could not be treated carelessly by the aristocrats.
Of course, in the senior class, the competition is fair. The reason why Pony didn't add lineage in her self-introduction was also because she knew that she didn't have to make enemies with needless pity.
Pony's eyes overflowed with the pride of royalty. It was as if he was looking at Jion, the prince of Khazra. Of course, it fell far short of Uorin's absolute gaze.
After Pony's turn, self-introduction continued.
Shirone listened attentively to each one. Then he felt the gaze of the woman standing in front of him and turned her head.
Everyone was paying attention to the current student, but only she was watching Shirone with mischievous eyes from beginning to end.
'Maya… … Did I say?'
She had brown skin, a plump body, and a round face, but her features didn't make her look cute.
To Shirone, she was a memorable woman with a unique meaning.
The first person to fail the graduation exam last year. In addition, I heard that I was in last place in the graduation exam the year before last.
His specialty is sound magic, and his main specialty is buffs and debuffs using sound, but he didn't feel great at the time.
In a word, no talent.
Her sound magic couldn't penetrate the wizard's mind, and she was enduring with the basic magic learned in the advanced class.
The basic skills are solid, but the ambiguous position does not have enough skills to deal with geniuses. It could be said to be the boundary between the advanced class and the senior class.
When Shirone looked up, Maya smiled and raised her hand.
"hi?"
Shirone looked around. It was not manners to have a conversation while other students were introducing themselves.
But she didn't care, leaned over and spoke in a low voice.
"I know you. Ariane Shirone."
It is an ambiguous situation to answer or not to answer. Shirone struggled for a while, and eventually gave an answer in a whisper.
"Ah yes. okay."
"I saw it at a research presentation last year. That's a ghost commotion. Are you really surprised? How did you come up with that idea? It was really ingenious. I've been a huge fan ever since."
Maya still vividly remembers that day.
I was lying in bed listening to the midnight bell, and how devastated I was when a ghost came out of the ceiling.
As I ran after the students, I was at Central Park before I knew it. And then, three members of the Supernatural Psychic Research Society appeared on the roof of the building.
She was so delighted with the announcement that poked a loophole in her mind that she even had stomach cramps while laughing.
"I also really enjoyed the play. Did the dress suit you well? What did you put in your chest?"
The screamer frowned and turned around.
"Hey Maya. You are introducing yourself right now."
"Oh sorry. I am so happy."
"Sheesh, anyway, I don't have a concept… … ."
Maya sticks out her tongue at Shirone with an embarrassed expression.
I still couldn't figure out who he was. However, the gaze of her class two looking at her was not good.
She was always in last place, so there were some who did not recognize her as a senior.
The representative figure was the screamer.
Having failed to enter Class One with a difference of one rank, he was even annoyed at being in the same class as Maya.
After many twists and turns, after the self-introduction, the screamer, who was in a good mood again, said with a bright expression.
"Okay, now that you've gotten familiar with the face, shall we begin the traditional 'Courage of Truth' of Steel Gate?"
Pony made a bitter expression and muttered.
"What is tradition… … . quality down."
"huh? Courage of Truth?"
As Shirone raised his eyebrows and waited for an explanation, the screamer opened his mouth with his characteristic long-winded gesture.
"I'm going to ask a question to the opponent I'm facing in Class Two. For example, who is the most handsome? It's like this. Then you just need to nominate one of us."
'Hmm, that's what I mean.'
There was nothing better to dread a freshman.
Yesi had heard of the most handsome, but no student would ask such a heartwarming question.
'That's why Amy told me to choose me unconditionally.'
The screamer looked back at the young boy and said.
"Eider, you do it first. Because I am the youngest."
"Sheesh, how old are you here?"
Eider was seventeen years old. It was also the reason Amy didn't get the title of youngest graduating senior last year.
She had big cat-like eyes and dimples on both sides when she smiled, making her look much younger than her age, and being short for a man also contributed to that feeling.
'Why is age emphasized?'
Shirone tilted her head.
What does it mean to be the youngest in a class where everyone is competing?
Even so, Eider grumbled a little, but obediently followed the screamer's words.
'It's because the title of youngest is more useful.'
If you admit that you are young, you will be bothered by trivial things, but there will definitely be an advantage beyond that.
'but. Even I get caught off guard when I see Eider.'
The person Eider asked the question was Arin. The students in Class Two watched with interest.
It is none other than Arin of the early stage. No matter what question you asked, you would get an interesting result.
Eider was engrossed in his thoughts and laughed like a mischievous person.
"Who is the ugliest person?"
"huh?"
It was an unexpected question for Arin.
He cannot properly recognize the shape of an object. Also, since rumors spread about this information while attending school, the seniors must have already known about it.
Class 2 students naturally became nervous.
It's because being ugly in her eyes could be a word that represents an inner distortion.
"The ugliest person?"
"yes. How can a human look like that? You just have to choose someone who is ugly enough to do it."
"Hmm."
Arin stared at Eider, who was smiling bashfully.
Then, he tapped his lips and took a good look at everyone in Class Two.
Some students averted her gaze.
'Why did you ask this question? Are you looking at me?'
Arin raised his index finger. And pointed at someone on the right.
"I'll do it for you, then."
He was a student so fat that you could feel the heat just by looking at him.
Even though it was a senior event, he seemed to be addicted to food, judging by the fact that he was holding a bag of potato chips in his hand.
His eyes were thin, buried in his cheekbones, and his hair was a mess of hair that he didn't even pay attention to.
It would have been fine if she was wearing loose-fitting clothes, but it was embarrassing to see her wearing small clothes that exposed the curves of her body.
'It's Luman.'
Luhmann, 13th in the senior class.
His specialty was trap magic, and his class was crowd control.
Since he is a member of a group that cannot stand out alone, he is always at a disadvantage because of his eccentric personality even though his skills are excellent.
The screamer cracked the beat and clapped.
"Yeah, as expected, women's eyes are sharp. Even though she has menarche, her appearance is like a ghost. Oh, you never know. If her appearance is a mold, then the heart inside her must also look the same."
Some of the students burst into laughter.
Among them was Boyle of Class Three. However, there was no sincerity in his smile.
Psychological warfare had already begun, and it seemed that they had set up a strategy to be aggressive from the beginning.
Despite being made fun of, Luhmann was just chewing on potato chips. Then he pointed to Boyle and asked.
"But why are you laughing? Aren't you supposed to laugh?"
Boyle frowned exaggeratedly.
"what? Does it matter if I laugh or not?"
"It doesn't matter. But you are also fat. If you laugh, isn't that self-deprecating?"
Boyle, who had been staring at Luman in bewilderment, always fired at him as his mother had told him.
"I am chubby and you are fat. Absolutely different. I'm just a pig, and you're just a pig."
Luhmann didn't chew the potato chips in his mouth for a while, then quickly moved his jaw again. That was the only reaction.

[374] Volume 16 – Senior Class Information Session (2)
The Courage of Truth begins and the first question ends. That alone created a subtle tension among the students.
Although it is an unwritten rule for the senior class not to mention the words spoken today again, the people concerned couldn't help but feel hurt.
All of them are fighting desperately.
'It's like this. If I didn't know, I would have been in big trouble.'
Shirone looked back at Amy with a much lighter heart.
No matter what question came up, I only had to point to her, so the risk of getting caught up in a nervous war from the beginning disappeared.
Amy met Shirone's eyes and shrugged.
She also took this course in her senior year last year. To Shirone, her freshman in her senior year, she was an aid worth more than gold.
'Thank you, Amy. Thank you very much.'
Psychological pressure wrapped in the name of tradition.
Being able to avoid the psychological checks of competitors from the beginning would definitely work as an advantage in the senior year.
"Haha, good! Then shall we move on? How about you, Pony this time? Because you have to do it once anyway."
Pony asked Nade, who was standing across from her, holding on to her ice-like face.
"well. Who was the first person you saw when you came here?"
It was such a bland question that there was no room for psychological warfare. She seemed to have no interest in the courage of truth.
The screamer looked back at her in disappointment.
"Hey, is that all? Let's have some fun."
"it's okay. This is childish."
Nade confirmed all aspects of Class Two. Any question can be searched for meaning, but as much as Pony asked lightly, he pointed to someone frankly.
"The first person I saw was that old man?"
His eyes focused on the person Nade pointed to.
He was a tall man with perfect curly hair, dark skin from long exposure to the sun, and thin cheekbones.
Shirone realized that Nade wasn't playing psychological warfare. In fact, she was the first person he noticed when he came here too.
'It's a fisho.'
Ficho was twenty-five, the oldest in his senior class, and looked thirty-five from his looks alone.
His major is Insect. As a magic that deals with insects, it was in a very unique position among various types of magic.
I knew that the Insect system was more developed in the field of science than magic.
As it is difficult to harmonize with other classes, most of the majors turn to scholars, but they are enduring at school until they are twenty-five because they can be treated much better if they acquire a wizard license.
The result, as trivial as the question, smacked his lips. Then he decided to step out himself to reverse the atmosphere.
Can't we blow away the opportunity to step on freshmen who have just entered their senior year?
"Then let me ask you this time."
Screamer's opponent was Dante. As it was the first place in Class 2 and Class 3, it felt like a grand battle.
"Who thinks this guy can win unconditionally? I mean, the student who thinks he's so weak that he can throw out a bowl of muk with just one finger."
Even though it was not a question to herself, Shirone naturally became nervous.
No matter who you name, your pride will be crushed. It was a question that no matter what choice was made, there was no choice but to remain.
Dante frowned and thought.
The students of Class Two watched him with sharp eyes. There were faces asking me to choose where to go.
"Hmm, is this really difficult?"
The screamer laughed, revealing his characteristic red tongue.
"You just have to be honest. No matter what choice you make, the unwritten rule is never to retaliate."
"Can't we just say Class Two? I guess it's all there anyway."
The atmosphere that seemed to explode with excitement subsided in an instant. Class Two's expression grew cold, and Shirone's eyes widened.
Those were the words that Dante, who was once the kingdom's best prospect, could utter.
'anyway… … Your personality is also amazing, really.'
The screamer wasn't thrilled.
It was not that he was ignorant of Dante's intentions. It was a strategy to alleviate hostility by distributing emotions to everyone.
"Sorry, but that's not possible. You must choose only one. That is the rule of the courage of truth."
Dante carelessly pointed at the screamer.
"okay? Then what to do with you Since you are number one in Class Two, if I choose you, everyone will be below me."
'Is this bastard really crazy?'
Even the screamer couldn't help but get a fever this time.
Air servant Dante. The number one prospect who was evaluated as the best at the Royal Magic School.
Even now, he was one of the most talented people to be considered for the first rank of graduates.
However, the public's evaluation was based on the standard of the advanced class.
Beyond the steel door, it is no longer an advanced class.
No matter how good your skills are, if you stumble once, you will fall into the abyss. It was the competitive system of the advanced class.
'This is why I hate kids. When they ask me if I'm from the advanced class, I don't know how high the sky is and run wild.'
Dante's declaration of war was effective. Class Two's face, which had been smirking, finally began to become serious.
"Can I ask a question this time?"
Maya raised her hand and said.
He didn't really need anyone's permission, but the screamer nodded as if he had the right to do so.
"try."
Maya tightened her smile and looked at Shirone.
Waiting for the question, Shirone salivated. What question will you ask?
At first, I thought it was nothing, but when the situation came, I couldn't help but feel my heart beating fast.
'You only have to choose Amy. Because it's already been promised. No matter what questions come, there is no burden.'
Maya asked with her eyes shining.
"Which girl is so lovely that you want to hug and kiss her right now?"
"hmm… … uh?"
Shirone's eyes twitched.
This time, even Amy could not hide her bewilderment, as if it was unexpected.
Shirone stared at Maya's mischievous smile.
This is not a matter of choosing an answer. The question is chosen on the assumption that you already know the answer.
'What do we do? Should I just name someone else?'
I tried my best, but in the end there seemed to be no better solution than sticking to the old strategy.
"I, I… … ."
Shirone lowered her blushing face and pointed at Amy.
Then, unable to bear the embarrassment, Amy quietly turned her head and looked at the distant mountains.
"Wow! really? Were you really dating?"
Eider made an exaggerated fuss and pressed Shirone.
In fact, rumors were circulating in the senior class that the relationship between Shirone and Amy was a fake romance.
In my senior year, I avoid dating on campus. This is because the probability that lovers join hands and pass in the final 10 is extremely small.
The screamer cheered up the atmosphere by clapping.
"Hey, but to be honest, you have great courage, don't you? Why don't you show it to me while I'm talking about it?"
Ignoring Shirone, she turned to Maya. She was just laughing as if she was having fun.
Why did Maya ask herself this question?
After this moment, you'll never get a chance to hear it, but questions like this don't pressure the freshman, and they don't particularly interest her.
The courage of truth continued, and finally, it was Luman's turn to ask Eruki a question.
Ruhman, who had eaten a bag of potato chips while waiting, said as he stuffed the last crumbs into his mouth.
"Then I will ask you a question. Who is the girl in Class Two who will never be a virgin?"
Pony's golden eyebrows slanted fiercely.
"Low quality… … ."
This is why I didn't like the tradition of the senior class. Why should a person of royal blood be a candidate for this question?
No matter what Pony's thoughts were, Luman explained further as if he was not satisfied.
"I mean, a woman who seems like she'd just roll around with any guy."
The women's unpleasant rage seemed to flare up.
It was one of the reasons Luman couldn't get out of Class Two even though he had excellent crowd control skills.
"Hmm, that's right."
Eruki put his chin on his chin and tried to find his own reason.
Of course, there is no way to know just by appearance. However, choosing something based on intuition was also not my constitution.
Excluding Amy, there were a total of four women in Class Two: Pony, Maya, Suabi, and Dorothy.
Eruki looked at Pony's face first. As if insulted by that alone, Pony gently twisted his head.
'It's royal… … .'
The first impression of Pony was a cold and lofty ice flower.
If you're a royal family, at least you won't hang out with common aristocrats. In terms of standard deviation, the male group had no choice but to shrink.
'First of all, is this the case, then Maya?'
Maya was watching with excitement as to what kind of answer would come out. She herself was also a candidate, but it seemed that she was just having fun with the current situation.
'Do you like it too openly? this is a bit… … .'
Eruki turned his gaze to Suabi.
With her brown hair in short braids, she hadn't said a word from the start of the senior year event until now, and hadn't even made eye contact with anyone.
Her personality seemed as docile as her rabbit-like appearance, and she was now trembling with fear.
'I'm too shy. Aren't you majoring in utilities?'
Utility magic was an auxiliary class that supported other wizards rather than doing something alone.
If sound magic is strong in wide-ranging buffs, utility focuses on personal enhancement and has excellent effects.
In the world of pros, it is the first class to be sought in a party, but since it is more dependent than crowd control, there were not many wizards who chose it as their major.
As she had to deal with numerous wizards, Suabi's timid personality was certainly surprising.
However, if you think about it in a different way, you could say that I chose my major because I had a weak self-esteem and a passive personality.
'You are very anxious. on the other side… … .'
Eruki moved his gaze to Dorothy for the last time.
It was a girl with oversized glasses and vaguely open eyes.
It could be said that she was pretty, but she didn't seem to pay any attention to her appearance.
She was a 4-dimensional girl who always carried a scrap metal tin doll, which was manipulated, as a joner in the manipulation field.
Shirone also took a special interest in Dorothy.
Having heard about Jonah from Fleur, this year's Dorothy looked quite different from last year's.
'That doll was moved by an algorithm. I thought it was something like Harvest.'
Eruki finished his thoughts.
His finger extended to the right and pointed at Dorothy.
"Do it with you."
Everyone's eyes focused on her, but Dorothy didn't react. It was as if she was the only one living in another world.
Eruki shyly lowered his hand.
After a while, she returned to reality and opened her mouth.
"Why me?"
Eruki shook his head as if it was a good question.
"What I observed was resignation and resistance. If it's seriously promiscuous, you won't want to reveal it to others. By that standard, you were the best at blocking out your emotions."
Dorothy left for another world again, as if asking what to do. And only after 10 seconds he came back and opened his mouth.
"that's right."
The boys turned to Dorothy with surprised eyes.
You don't even have to answer from the courage of the truth. However, when he confessed with his own mouth, he was curious about what he would say next.
"I love all men."
Dorothy met Eruki's eyes for the first time.
"Eruki. I love you too."
Eruki's eyelids opened and closed quickly.
"And I love women too."
"huh?"
A question popped up from someone.
Either way, Dorothy lowered her eyes slowly as she hugged the tin doll.
"But I hate humans."
"… … ."
The eyes that had been focused on Dorothy were scattered in different directions. It was an instinctive reaction.
'What are you saying? I'm not crazy.'
Shirone was equally embarrassed. Do you have to compete with these guys in the future?
In particular, Class One hadn't even stepped forward yet.
From the first day, I thought it would not be easy.

[375] Volume 16 – Senior Class Information Session (3)
* * *
After The Courage of Truth ended, an elderly teacher walked from the graduating class building.
It was Collie, the head teacher of the graduating class.
"Is the event over?"
It is rare for advanced classes to see the face of a senior class teacher, but Collie was a familiar figure in Class Three.
It was because when Alfeas resigned from the principalship for six months due to the Arcane Incident, he briefly served as the temporary principal during the hiatus until Olivia took over.
Although it is an official 6th grade, it was recognized for its achievements in the teaching profession for decades, so it could be said that its ability is lower than that of Siena, Ethella, and Thaad, which focus on skill.
In any organization, there are people who hold executive positions at a young age, and there are also managers and department heads in later years.
None of the students were vigilant, however, as they should be considered superior to young teachers in terms of evaluating their abilities.
"nice to meet. My name is Collie, the head teacher of the senior class."
"hello!"
The students in Class Two were more energetic than in Class Three.
"From now on, we will have a briefing session for the senior class. Class Three will follow me, and Class Two will enjoy a short break. Do you understand even if I don't talk anymore?"
Class Two's face turned pale. However, this was also the authority of those who experienced it first, so he did not hesitate to make a statue to die for.
Collie led Class Three to the meeting room on the first floor of the building.
It was empty and a bit cold.
After 10 students sat around the edge of the long table, Collie went up to the podium on the other side.
"From now on, there will be no time for you to learn anything at school."
The sound of conversation disappeared at Collie's one word.
"Basic education ended in the advanced class, and the senior class only serves as a link between the school and society. The most important thing here is whether or not your skills will work in real life."
i get through
Everyone was thinking the same thing.
"You were born with different talents than normal people, and that is why you were not treated as children who needed to be taken care of at school. These words may not be humane, but if you die in class, 50% of the responsibility lies with you. If expressing it in numbers is ambiguous, let me tell you this. For your death, the school compensates but does not take responsibility."
This is what I heard at the magic school admissions meeting. However, Collie's words were much more explicit.
"And the senior year is different. 100%, you are responsible for your life. From now on, this place will not be a school, but as a cooperative institution of the Kingdom Magic Association, it will only determine whether or not you can immediately be put into the field with a sense of power."
Collie held out a card.
"What I am seeing now is the evaluation teacher certificate issued by the Graduation Examination Registrar. Starting today, all evaluations I record are codified and submitted to the association. In addition, all organizations under the World Red Line have exclusive access to this information."
An unknown chill hung over me. The things I did in the advanced class no longer remained in my memory.
"Then, from now on, I will explain the senior class schedule."
When the gold thread was pulled, the tent with the graduation grade evaluation items schematically drawn came down.
"The contents written here are the senior class schedule. It runs for a total of 30 weeks, and each week six events are evaluated in rotation."
Pandora raised her hand.
"Can I take notes?"
"Can not be done. The first day evaluation is a person-to-person battle. Thirty seniors switch opponents each week, with 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss. In other words, you will compete against everyone once for 29 weeks. There is no PvP in the final week 30. This is because it can adversely affect the graduation exam."
Boyle raised his hand.
"I have a question. You said that a draw is worth one point. Can a draw come out of a match?"
"The one whose mental strength gauge reaches 0 is the loser. However, if it becomes 0 at the same time or if there is no winner within the 10-minute time limit, it will be treated as a draw, and each player will receive 1 point."
'As expected, there is a time limit.'
There were also majors in the senior class who were not specialized in combat, so it was Shirone who thought that he was optimistic about interpersonal combat.
However, if the strategy was structured defensively, there was a possibility of getting a point by holding out for 10 minutes.
"Day 2 Assessment, Mental Activity. The place is the Image Zone training ground. A geometric filter made of holograms approaches every 3 seconds. You just need to transform the spirit zone so it passes through a filter so it doesn't touch the hologram. The difficulty level increases every week, and the score is paid differentially from 5 to 0 depending on the number of successes."
'Ugh, that must be really difficult.'
Shirone also rescued hostages in Baska's Gold City by transforming the Spirit Zone. However, it was definitely a difficult task as durability was a strong point.
On the other hand, Arin was relaxed. As the mental fluidity of a spirit-type mage was unmatched, it must have been a not so difficult event.
Knowing that fact, Canis also leaned in and whispered, 'That must get a perfect score.'
Of course, Arin nodded meekly.
"Day 3, tactical strategy. group evaluation. Six groups are organized according to the rankings from 1st to 30th, and 5 members of the same group will face simulation monsters at the Icheonbeon training ground. The first group to complete the task gets 5 points, and the last group to complete the task gets 0 points."
Even with a short explanation, the students realized the seriousness of the situation.
A rule that always results in 0 points.
and joint responsibility.
If you cut them in order of ranking, you can see that the level is similar, but even within the same group, the responsibility will be covered. Conflicts between members are bound to arise.
Of course, it was natural that the probability of this was high in the group that received 0 points.
"Day 4, strengthening the main skill. 20 evaluation items are prepared according to the major. Each item is classified into 10 levels, and 1 point is obtained for each level. For reference, the 10th level of difficulty for the 'heat amount' item of the flame series is 1,000 degrees Celsius."
'Master difficulty is 1,000 degrees Celsius?'
It's not student level difficulty.
Of course, Amy reached Thousand City during vacation, but it was thanks to Hongan's ability to remove entropy.
'After all, it's a professional-level achievement.'
"Duplicate acquisition is impossible as much as strengthening the main specialty. When a certain level is reached, the score of the previous level is erased. You will register for your major at the personal interview tomorrow, so decide carefully."
'That's right… … .'
If you pass Master Difficulty and get 10 points, you can't get any more points. However, as the score can be adjusted arbitrarily and high scores are possible even in the early stages, it was an event that will be a major variable in the competition.
"Day 5, cognition and judgment. The place is a virtual zone. Everyone must have experienced it during the entrance ceremony test."
Shirone was also tested in the Virtual Zone. He counted balls and talked about feeling cold and hot.
"But the senior year is on a different level. You will experience extreme conditions. Depending on each person's judgment, the key is how long they survive. This is also paid differentially from 5 to 0 depending on the level."
Shirone rubbed his face. The other students who confidently passed through the steel gate also had dark faces.
"Day 6 evaluation. battery implementation. This is also done in the Virtual Zone. For example, in an environment of minus 27 degrees Celsius, if the problem arises to raise the temperature to 3 degrees Celsius, you can solve it by using the 36 basic magic rules specified by the association."
Battery implementation was also difficult for Shirone.
Of course, I passed 80 points in all subjects in the theory test, but I couldn't say that I was competitive because other students were the same anyway.
"This is the six evaluation items to be completed in a week. Points are earned by rotating this for 30 weeks, and the rankings are rearranged daily according to the overall score."
thud! thud! As Collie finished speaking, several students banged their foreheads on the table.
Shirone also folded her arms and lay down.
I just wanted to sleep.
'Is this the first week evaluation? Amy, how did you last a year here? No, how did you get the idea to do this again?'
Collie said with a smile.
"If you want to rest, rest. Because you are semi-pro But if this is too much for you, you won't be able to graduate."
The students' upper bodies slowly stood up. Yes, let's hear what else there is, these were the eyes.
"There is such a thing as overall evaluation. It is held on the last holiday of each 4-week unit, and the items are almost the same as the graduation exam, 'person-to-person combat', 'occupying the hill', 'management operation', 'special move', 'survival', and 'tactical strategy'."
It was like a mock exam for a graduation exam.
"The overall evaluation is free to organize groups. You can team up with anyone you want. If you win the overall rating, you get 20 points. On the other hand, the loser loses 20 points."
The students were agitated by the awesome score quota.
If you gain 20 points and take 20 points away from your opponent, you will eventually be able to widen the gap by 40 points.
'This… … It's too cruel.'
Amy wasn't exaggerating when she said welcome to hell.
"Assuming a perfect score in all subjects by the 30th week, the highest score an individual can obtain is 87 points in interpersonal combat, 150 points in mental activity, 150 points in tactical strategy, 150 points in cognition and judgment, 200 points in strengthening special skills, and omniscience. Add 300 implementation points for a total of 1,037 points."
Numbers started spinning in the students' heads.
"In addition, if you win all six evaluations, you add 120 points to the conclusion that 1,157 points are perfect. According to statistics, the average score for graduation is 1,000 points."
"One thousand points… … ."
Shirone opened his mouth blankly. It was possible to achieve 86.4 percent of the total score quota.
"Because the evaluation is conducted every day except holidays, the ranking also changes every day according to the score. In the beginning, the level of difficulty is low, so there won't be much flexibility, but as the level progresses, it's common to jump around. This is the one-year journey you will undertake."
A solemn silence hung over the meeting room.
'One thousand points? Uneasy. It's really not easy.'
It wasn't just about being good at fighting or having exceptional talent.
Everything a wizard should have is evaluated.
"Then I will tell you the most important one last."
The eyes of the students turned to Collie again.
"In two days, the graduating class schedule will begin and assessments will be conducted for 30 weeks. And you… … ."
Collie, who had put down the baton, said with her hands behind her back.
"We reserve the right to reject all these evaluations."
The meeting room seemed to be buzzing with the sound of my heart.
"So, you mean you can give up the evaluation?"
"Yes. Strictly speaking, the score obtained in the evaluation does not affect the success or failure of the graduation exam. Even if you don't get evaluated, if you pass the test, you graduate."
Sabina asked.
"Are there any restrictions in case of refusal of evaluation?"
"There are no specific restrictions, but students who refuse evaluation are restricted from entering the training ground."
"Hmm… … Do not spectate."
You can't see the opponent's ability with your own eyes.
However, as there were cliques in the last graduation exam, even if only one person belonged to it, it was possible to devise a strategy, so it was not a restriction.
Nade asked.
"Then what are the advantages of being evaluated?"
"You seem to be misunderstanding something. I said semi-pro. This is not homework. There are no pros and cons of not doing it. The judgment is yours."
Colli, who was on the podium, showed his face.
"On the day of the graduation exam, scouts are dispatched from red line associations around the world. If you become one of the top 5 prestigious schools, it should be considered that scouts from dozens of countries are watching."
The pupils' eyes shone intensely.
"Under red line regulations, the school is obliged to provide your profile. From a scout's point of view, it adds to the depth of judgment, but if the evaluation score is messed up, it will be poison. this is such a problem It is a choice about how each of you will lead your life, not your school."
'I see. From now on, graduation isn't everything.'
Red Line operates a trade system to prevent affiliated wizards from leaving the line.
Of course, the first priority negotiation right is held by the association, but it was not a problem to pay the transfer fee and take it if negotiations broke down.
What major would you like to work in? And finally, what do you achieve in your life?
From the moment she entered her senior year, her life as a wizard had already begun.
"This concludes the presentation. There is a personal interview tomorrow, so choose your major carefully today."
