51 – Witchcraft (2)

Two men were waiting for Carmella when she arrived.

“Oh!”

“You…”

And when I found a bear-like man there, I inadvertently pointed my finger at him.

“Why are you here?”

“Oh my, do you know Eric?”

“We were in the same wagon just now.”

She nodded her head once in response to my answer, and then pointed to the two people who came closer.

“Let me introduce you. This is Eric Grizzly. He’s an acquaintance of mine from home. He’s a good tank, so he’ll definitely come in handy.”

“Please take good care of me!”

“…….”

Eric readily greets him, but, sure enough, he just nods without saying anything.

Looking at him like that, Carmella hurriedly continued.

“Ahaha, I’m sorry. Eric doesn’t talk much. Don’t worry too much if he doesn’t answer.”

“…Okay.”

After trying hard to understand, I immediately turned my gaze towards the voice I heard.

“I’m the only one left. Nice to meet you. My name is Paul.”

“Paul is someone I hired. He’s a seeker specializing in stealth and reconnaissance. He’s also good at daggers, so he’ll be able to do secondary damage as well.”

A tanker and a seeker…….

It was a very unusual combination for a party of only 4 people.

“Carmella, is the party combination okay?”

As for the main dealers, it’s just me, the swordsman, and Carmella, the mage.

Even I have less than average skills, so in reality Carmella should be in charge of the main deal alone.

“It’s okay, I can handle most of the work.”

“In that case…”

It’s already too late to change the composition, so even if you’re anxious, it’s reasonable to go on like this.

I nodded my head calmly while putting on a puzzled expression.

──Now, pay attention!

At that moment, a loud voice rang out from the front gate of the academy.

Immediately after, the presence felt beyond the main gate made the surrounding noise disappear, and a wild woman appeared from there.

“Ohh! There are more than I thought this year!”

No, can I express this in terms of being full of wildness?

Caught unruly cutting.

A red gym suit that looks like it was worn casually at home.

Even the slippers barely hanging on my toes.

As soon as a woman appeared, it would be more understandable to say that she was an unemployed person rather than an instructor, and silence lingered in the audience for a moment.

“Is that…Instructor?”

Carmella looks at the instructor with trembling eyes.

Yes or no.

The woman, who had been walking slowly, regardless of the gazes around her, reached her front door and immediately spoke up.

“What, come in first?”

The instructor threw her words lightly and immediately turned her around and walked inside.

Those of us who had been standing in her daze didn’t move until she disappeared behind her front door.

.

.

.

After entering the academy, we arrived at a large exam hall.

The exam hall consisted of two floors, and the judges located on the second floor looked down on the examinees on the first floor.

It seems there are judges all over the exam hall.

“Okay, let’s get started.”

After looking around at the test takers, she slowly brought out her words.

“Then, should I introduce myself first?”

“My name is Hwaryeon Lee. I’m the one who will teach you martial arts from now on.”

Having said that, she looked at the test taker for a while and then continued her explanation of her test.

“The test will be conducted in the form of practice. The examiners will make a gate in a moment, so you can catch the demon that jumps out of it.”

“The evaluation will be conducted in the order in which applications are received, and it doesn’t matter whether you form a party or do it alone. Instead, know that the party limit is 4 people.”

“The monsters that came out of the gate are no different from the actual monsters, so be careful.”

“Don’t worry, the instructors will step in if you think it’s going to be dangerous!”

Hwaryeon, who had said that far, gestured to the nearby instructor.

“Then shall we begin immediately?”

Ugh——!

“Ah! Be aware that intentionally disturbing other students will result in deductions!”

At the same time, gates began to appear out of thin air.

“Wait a minute, just like this!?”

“Then who will do it first?”

“Me! I’ll do it first!”

At Hwaryeon’s question, the party in the front raised her hand and stepped forward.

“Okay! Then we’ll start right away!”

At the same time, a protective shield was placed on everyone except for the party that came forward.

“This is…!”

“It’s a barrier. It’s quite solid.”

Is it the test site’s own safety device?

As I looked at the barriers placed on each test taker, I was soon distracted by the demonic beast that appeared at the gate.

With Clara——!

After a while, the monster that came out of the gate let out a cry, and the faces of the party members facing each other were tense.

“Coming! Everyone get ready!”

At the same time as the student who seemed to be the leader shouted, the monster with the appearance of a wolf rushed at them while salivating.

“Ha!”

As the vanguard at the forefront struck the wolf with a large shield, an archer who was watching for an opportunity shot an arrow at the same time.

Klarang—!

Immediately after, the Demonic Beast dodged the arrow with agile movement and rushed at the vanguard.

“Jason!”

“Damn it!”

“Everybody stay in formation!”

The Witchbeast, who evaded another avant-garde swordsman with a nimble movement, nicked the shield and retreated.

At the moment, the leader of the party shouted at the shaken formation, and a thick aura rose from the sword of the swordsman.

“The firepower is sufficient! Don’t panic and attack calmly!”

“Doris! Aim for his eyes!”

“Okay!”

Soon after, the leader started reciting an incantation, the tanker and the swordsman each disturbed the guy’s gaze, and the archer pulled a string to steal his sight.

‘Awesome…’ !’

On the other hand, seeing them like that, I couldn’t hide my admiration.

Assuming it’s not G1, everyone in the party is freely using Auras.

‘And they’re even releasing them all.’

Even if you just learn it in your 20s, you can hear the sound of genius, but they were bringing out their auras as if it was natural.

‘This is Slaine… !’

This must be the average of Slaine.

I watched their battle nonstop while swallowing my saliva in tension.

───

Looking at it objectively, the test was quite difficult.

No matter how geniuses they are, the reality is that only a handful of them have experienced actual combat.

Even those people seemed out of their strength to deal with the monster that came out of the gate.

‘As expected, did you tell the chicks?’

Lee Hwaryeon smiled bitterly as she looked at the candidate who fell after being hit by the beast this time as well.

There weren’t any students who could see the number, but the problem was that the number was very small.

Even those few gave up because they couldn’t stand the growing demonic beast.

‘Kids these days have no patience. Patience.’

It’s like getting scared and running away before you even try.

Remembering the previous party member, she clicked her tongue slightly and stood out as she confirmed the next test taker.

“Huh~? Is it you this time?”

A man in a black military uniform with large shackles all over his body.

He was a person whose taste was questionable, but who could not speak to anyone who knew his true identity.

“Alone after all?”

“Let’s start right away.”

Equipped with long shotguns in each hand, he stood still, staring at the gate.

And the moment the monster came out of the gate.

Kwaang—!

The specially modified shotgun roared like thunder and erased the entire gate.

“Next.”

At the overwhelming sight, the examinees who looked at it send awe-inspiring glances.

“Good. I wonder how long it will last.”

Unlike the executive officer who looked at her expressionlessly, Lee Hwa-ryeon gave a signal to her instructor with an interesting expression on her face.

.

.

.

‘It’s also outside the standard.’

Hwaryeon Lee, watching the battle of the executioner, expressed her short impression.

Is it 23 or 24?

After capturing as many as 24 monsters, the Executioner began to show a combat-like appearance only then.

The opponent is a manticore that even high-ranking warriors are shy about.

For a being that walks on the ground, a winged monster is a very difficult opponent.

“Huh.”

But I want to get rid of such a bastard as easily as slaughtering an animal.

“Enough! It’s over!”

In the end, she shook her head and decided to end his exam.

‘At any rate, it would be a waste of time.’

Since that guy is an irregular being, putting him on the same line as the chicks is a problem.

“The next order is coming!”

After sending the bailiff behind and calling the next order, she immediately caught her eye as she checked the party.

“Hey…”

‘The rookies were all in the back.’

Hwaryeon looked at her opponent, adjusting her expression.

“Shall we start right away?”

“Yes, please.”

A princess.

I heard rumors that it was a magic job.

Looking at the party members, they all seemed to have excellent skills.

It seems that they recruited children who achieved excellent grades at the transfer ceremony.

‘Let’s see how good it is.’

Huarian watched her battle with anticipation in her heart.

───

Meanwhile, at that time Ramos Magic School.

Ricardo, the professor there, was smiling at the sky.

“Whoops, everything is ready.”

It’s good to succeed, and it’s okay to fail.

My goal is always to attract attention.

While she herself was wreaking havoc on Academy City, she was the Great Terror to deliver an untimely blow.

Ricardo smiled with satisfaction as he recalled the scene at that time.

“Whoopoohoo! I can’t stop laughing!”

Stupid humans, you must be taking a test at your leisure by now.

Without even knowing what’s going on above them!

“I guess I’ll have to start soon.”

Feeling happy for once, Ricardo immediately grabbed the jewel in his hand.

Ugh-!

When the jewels start to resonate in response to his magical energy, magic circles suddenly begin to unfold all over the sky.

“Hehe, hahaha, hahahaha!”

In the end, Ricardo, unable to hold back his laughter, bursts into madness and at the same time, the jewel that was trembling violently shattered──

Paaaaa!!

Soon, a huge gate was created from the magic circle that spread across the sky.

“Despair in fear, humans…!”

Ricardo shouted with his arms wide open, and at the same time a group of demon beasts rushed out of the gate.

A truly overwhelming quantity!

Ricardo did not hide his excitement and started direct-cameraing what was to come.

“Now, Academy City will be stained with fear!”

Excited Ricardo exclaims.

The magic circle blinks red.

The moment when countless armies of demons came out.

■■■■■──!!

The army of monsters was ‘Torn’ In space.

“……Did you?”

At the same time, Ricardo’s eyes became dots.
