Is this really just an RPG? !

semester test.

Except for the one-month test for new students, the tests are normally held every three months. They are mainly used to divide classes, understand the progress of students, and...dissuade students? Despite the last situation, I have never heard of any students who were actually dismissed.

There are quite a few people who die for nothing and end up really dead.

In any case, the admissions standards of this college are relatively high.

Taking my admission test as an example, I was able to enter the academy smoothly. On the one hand, it was because of the admission invitation that Lilith got, and on the other hand, it was because my magic power test score was A+. However, the fundamental reason why I was assigned to class D is that my theoretical knowledge and ability to manipulate magic power are only at class D.

In other words, my understanding of various theoretical knowledge is close to zero, and the degree of manipulation of magic power is just to release my own magic power.

"Anyway, supernatural magic doesn't need to be controlled, just release it according to instinct."

I'd love to say that.

But I held back.

Leaving aside the fact that I know supernatural magic, it will scare people to death. I am not ready to reveal that I am a brave man. Besides, it is not harmful to make up for the basic knowledge a little bit, but no matter how fast I learn theoretical knowledge, I still don’t have it. Ways to use a wide variety of spells.

The reason is: "The occupation does not meet the requirements and cannot be used."

So far, I still don't understand the use of the "brave", a profession that can only be seen but not used.

Back to the original topic.

Although I know supernatural magic, it doesn't mean that I have a good control over the magic power. It only means that my magic power is enough to support the magic. I am more of a facilitator than a spellcaster—using my own magic power to cause a certain impact, thereby triggering super-scale nirvana magic, this is super-law magic.

Magic A+ level is considered extraordinary in this respect.

The B level of stamina means that I generally don't have any big problems when I escape.

The F level of strength means that it is as low as my luck value to a horrible level.

"I always feel so tired."

Obviously, he was thinking about the possible situations of the test in order to make corresponding preparations, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was in a weird place.

The point is that I am still a brave man.

The point is that I am still a brave man.

Because it is very important, I must emphasize it twice.

"Fortunately, only Lilith and Qiuqiu know my identity in this academy."

I couldn't help sighing.

Although it is said to be a preparation for the test, in fact, there is not much to prepare. Anti-cold measures can be solved with a few common small magics, and magic can be used to deal with monsters. Even teammates, if the opponent is too paranoid, they can still be solved with magic... It seems that there is no problem that magic can't solve? So I just need to prepare a backpack of scrolls and potions?

# On how to correctly handle various situations that may occur in the exam #

In contrast, what is more important is to catch up on a wave of information about various monsters?

"Senior Yuta, is your "Warcraft Encyclopedia" still available?"

"On the top left side of the bookshelf, take it yourself. There is also a notebook with it, which records many special situations. You can take it directly to take the test."

"this is okay too?"

"It didn't say that you are not allowed to bring books."

That's right.

He took the book from the shelf and spread it out on the table. Looking at the illustrations and text above, I suddenly miss Qiuqiu. No matter how unreliable that elf is, she is still my most reassuring partner. Whenever I encounter troubles, I can ask her to contact Endless Bookstore and get the answers I need from there.

Yet now she stayed by Lilith's side.

[Don't think about it! 】

I slapped my face violently with my hand, and I came back to my senses, and then I was going to concentrate on reading the entire encyclopedia first.

But reality always has surprises.

"Neil! Neil!"

There was a loud shout outside the door, followed by a knock on the door.

"I have something very important to tell you, hurry up and open the door!"

That person said so.

In fact, there is no key!

"Yes, yes, I have said it many times, can you lower your voice?"

"Because it's really important!"

The red-haired boy who rushed in immediately after I opened the door yelled at me excitedly, with his hands on his chest and panting continuously. It seems that he probably ran all the way back... Or maybe it's because of the increased amount of exercise today? After all, one of the elective subjects for this guy in front of him is physical strengthening.

Evan Yates, a freshman like me.

It's just that he's in class B, because the guy has an inexplicable talent when it comes to fighting.

The biggest feature is the red hair and loud voice. The most incredible thing is that he is not good at dealing with women. The weapons he is good at are swordsmanship and shielding. He is born with advantages in strength and intuition. The classmates are very optimistic about him.

The only regret is that he doesn't like to use his brain very much.

Even if the brain is not bad, I don't like to do thinking work.

Therefore, I gave the evaluation of "spiritual lazy person", and Yuta complained that he was a "tin can".

The person involved took these titles as compliments and readily accepted them, completely unable to keep up with his way of thinking.

"Hey, Neil, did you know! The first grade has a semester test! I heard it from the teacher when get out of class was over today! The content of the test is not sure, but all I know is 'Leave the college area in a team to complete a certain task ’, probably so.”

"……oh?"

I couldn't help raising my voice.

Because all I got was a relatively hidden reminder, and I could only make a simple guess about the test content. I didn't expect this red-haired man to get such detailed information easily. It can only show that his teacher is too optimistic about him, so he gave such a test. Not counting the back door of the back door.

——Anyway, according to Evan's personality, he will not make more preparations because of this news, but he will keep it well hidden, and at most disclose it to people around him.

No wonder he didn't rush to say it outside the door, but chose to close the door after he came in and then told me.

"That's it, so Neil wants to form a team with me, I can guarantee you pass the test."

"It didn't say that the formation of a team can be decided by itself."

"Seems to be?"

"Then, Mr. Evan, please take a good bath and think about this question carefully. I believe that you will definitely get the answer after you take a bath, and then we will have a detailed conversation, how about it?"

I sat at the table while watching "Monster Encyclopedia" and made a suggestion.

Evan answered almost immediately.

"Ok, I see!"

Then he literally rushed into the bathroom with the good stuff.

"Neil, are you really okay with this?"

Yuta's voice came from the kitchen, I looked up and saw that he was walking back to his place with a cup of coffee, I could only hear a little helplessness in his tone, but he didn't show any more emotional changes.

In fact, I just ate sweets, so I feel better!

The corners of my mouth twitched a few times, and I continued to focus on the book.

"If I don't do that, he'll probably go on arguing for a long time."

"You just deceived the heart of a pure boy."

"Don't be so weird!"

"And you don't think he probably can't think of an answer to the question you just asked, which means he will stay in the bathroom for a long time without coming out."

"..."

It seems to be the case!

With Hongmao's personality, he would really do this.

Coming out of the bathroom means thinking of an answer, so you have to think of an answer to leave the bathroom, and you can’t leave without thinking of an answer. In addition, the questions I gave don’t have any real answers, so Evan might stay in the bathroom for hours.

It was dismal.

"Think of a way to get him out?"

"It's better to let him stay inside for half an hour to calm down."

"You're quite right."

Yuta agreed with my decision in an instant, then turned around and continued to do his own thing. Judging from his actions, he should be writing something, but every time he asked him, he would just change the topic with a smile. As time passed, I didn't pay any attention to it. I just guessed that it was probably something like a diary.

【Oh yes, the diary...】

I have always been troubled by dreams, and now I recall the promise I made with Lilith.

I don't know why, Lilith has always been curious about what will happen in the boys' campus, but due to school regulations, there is almost no chance to come here, so she asked me to write a diary to record and show it to her when I have time to meet. In exchange, she will also write a diary for me.

Sounds great.

But I can't write a diary!

Being able to understand the language, communicate and read normally does not mean that I can write easily.

The goddamn lingua franca has all kinds of grammar, and I'm going to make mistakes if I'm not paying attention.

It was like a theory test on the day of the entrance exam.

[Write a few random strokes as a coping, at worst, tell her in words when the time comes. 】

Thinking of this, I am ready to refocus on the book in my hand.

"Bang!"

There was a loud noise from the direction of the bathroom, like the sound of the door being slammed open. Both Yuta and I raised our heads in doubt, just in time to see Evan, who was still wet all over, running out. He looked very excited, waving his hands, and wanted to say something, but because he didn't organize his sentences well, he opened and closed his mouth several times and couldn't say anything.

Finally he took a deep breath, clenched his hands into fists, held his breath for a while and shouted out loud.

"I figured out a way!"

"……Uh-huh?"

Stretching out my hands to rub my aching ears from the shock, I frowned and looked at him.

"I'll go to the teacher and ask, then I can form a team with you, Neil!"

He was really thinking about what I said earlier.

And also got the answer!

No matter how you look at it, this answer is unreliable!

# What can I do to save my roommate? #

I turned my head to look at Yuta, but he shrugged at me, lowered his head and continued to write his stuff.

Completely "you solve it yourself" means.

"Sounds good, but why do you have to be on my team, Evan?"

"Because you are weak, Neil!"

"..."

It's so straightforward.

I really want to kill this guy.

There are quite a lot of magic scrolls in the backpack, and releasing them one by one is enough to blow the red hair to pieces.

I took a deep breath to calm down my irritable mood, and looked at him again.

"Evan, I can understand your kindness, but can we talk slowly after you finish washing?"

"Eh?"

"For example, in your current situation, even if there are no girls in this dormitory, it's really too... um, unrestrained?"

How stupid is it to be able to run out of the bathroom naked.

"...!"

Watching Evan rush back to the bathroom in a hurry, I couldn't help but sigh, then immediately packed up my things and stood up, ready to leave the dormitory.

"Going out?"

"When I go to dinner, hopefully he'll be completely quiet when I get back."

"Ah, then I'll tell him that when the time comes."

Yuta said so.

"Thank you so much."

I quickly thanked and left the dormitory before Evan came out.

I would prefer Yuta not to mention it at all, it might be easier for Evan to forget about it.

[What should I do? 】

When I left the dormitory, I leaned against a nearby tree and looked up at the sun, which was already close to the horizon. I was a little confused for a while. The excuse is to have dinner, but in fact I am not hungry at all. I planned to read the book I got from Yuta, but I was interrupted again and again. Now I have brought the book out, but I haven’t read it yet. Feeling.

On the streets of the dormitory area, students can occasionally be seen walking by in twos and threes. At this time, almost no students are in class.

[Forget about going to the library, if you are lucky, you can meet Lilith and Qiuqiu. 】

I make such a decision.

But it's just luck, God knows what Lilith is doing.

Perhaps enjoying dinner and chatting with Chu Chu?

※ ※ ※ ※

"Excuse me, what's the matter?"

I asked like this, and at the same time closed the books in my hand and piled them aside, raised my head and looked around casually, and finally stopped in a certain direction for a while, then looked back full of melancholy, and silently looked at the two people I saw before. Offer caring blessings like "May they be brothers and sisters who have been separated for many years", and continue to repeat the same action as at the beginning - write a rune on the wooden table with a quill, and then activate the effect of the rune, turning the table Clean it up and rewrite the runes.

Repeatedly.

I don't know the reason for doing this myself.

Maybe just thought it was fun to do it?

Or maybe it might increase the effect of my blessing?

Probably the latter is more likely!

"What are you thinking? It doesn't feel like a good thing."

"I'm just complaining about how a good library can become a mecca for dog food."

I answered the question posed by the woman sitting across from me with resentment.

"envy?"

"really not."

The woman laughed, with a hint of ridicule.

"So what's the matter with senior sister coming to see me?"

"Can't you come and see your lovely junior if you don't have something to do?"

"I think it is."

I packed up my things and was about to leave the library. Since this person came to me and didn't explain his purpose, but just hindered me from reading, then it's better to go back to the dormitory. It's been half an hour since I left, and the red-haired one should have calmed down.

Why don't you stop by for dinner.

"It's no fun being serious, Neil."

"If you don't take it seriously, you will play badly, that's all I know."

Eventually I sat back in my seat.

Because this woman is finally going to get down to business.

I think that although my abilities are not outstanding, my popularity is not bad. At least no one in class D will clearly express their dislike for me. It's just that I still can't figure out why all the guys I meet by chance are weird guys.

For example, the teacher whose tone is always exaggerated.

For example, the red hair with excess energy in the dormitory.

Another example... the senior in front of me.

Emily Thomas, is said to be a rare genius magical girl, characterized by her sky-blue hair and wearing the combat uniform issued by the academy around the clock; a relic enthusiast, it is her wish to visit all the relics on the mainland, This is what she just told me not long ago; she likes practice more than theory, and unlike most guys who study magic, she is a guy who can't bear to squat indoors at all.

It was a beautiful accident to get to know her.

So good I wish it never happened.

"Senior sister, I'm really just an ordinary student. At most, I have a little friendship with Her Royal Highness Princess of the Alexander Empire, so I can enroll in this school."

"Will the symbol "+" appear on the ability test of ordinary students?"

"Wait, what was that pronunciation just now..."

I suddenly felt that my knowledge of the lingua franca was insufficient.

Emily didn't find it strange, nor did she mock me, but gave a casual "puchi" laugh, then pulled out a piece of paper from my pile of books, snatched the quill from my hand, and put it on the paper. Write a sign like "+" on it.

"'Alder' roughly means 'addition', 'extra', it is used to add some special effects when releasing magic or making props... Don't you know?"

"I rely on scrolls to use magic, and this is the fifth time I have been given an E in my alchemy practice."

"Let me laugh for a while."

Emily lay on the table with her stomach covered and twitched slightly, laughing "haha" from time to time.

"..."

I really want to kill this man.

I curled my lips dissatisfied.

"So, what's so strange about this? 'Magic A+' means that a person has relatively high magic power!"

Almost bit his tongue halfway through.

I really don't know who invented this strange pronunciation.

"It's true if it's just an 'A', but it's a different story with a '+'." In contrast, Emily's pronunciation is much smoother, and she wrote "Magic A+" after speaking. Then he raised his head and looked at me after making a circle on the "+" symbol, "The so-called '+' refers to 'incidental', that is to say, your magic power has some kind of special incidental attribute."

"Accompanied attributes?"

"Well, let's give an example! Among the previous graduates, there is a senior who studies the spells of 'soul' and 'death'. Although his magic power is only 'C', he has a very special attribute, that is, psychic This allows him to easily communicate with souls, and his magic power is more loved by souls, and it is easier to sign contracts."

"I see."

It turns out that this symbol has so many meanings.

"Then what am I?"

"have no idea."

"..."

"All I know is that all kinds of detection methods have failed on you. You can only draw the conclusion that there is an additional attribute, but you cannot determine what the additional attribute is."

"That's it."

I turn my head away.

Maybe the addition is this strange window in front of me! What comes with Wenduosi 7, after continuous strengthening, it can be upgraded to Wenduosi 8.1, and can continue to be upgraded to Wenduosi 10, the highest version at the current stage, with various problems... Although I don't know these Everything, but in terms of the inexplicable biting cold behind him, it probably won't be a good thing.

"So what I want to say is," Emily reached out and tapped my head, ignoring my sad eyes, put away her previous casual expression, and looked at me solemnly, "It will be the semester test soon, I hope I can Team up with you."

"Senior semester test?"

"It's just for the lower grades, but finding suitable teammates is also a test, so it's understandable."

"Ah, um..."

I nod.

Although he is not a mercenary, he has heard some of the knowledge they promote. One of the most important items in the mercenary manual is about choosing teammates. Because for mercenaries, half of their lives are almost in the hands of their teammates, so it is very important to choose a capable and reliable teammate.

This school is really great.

Send students out to exercise like mercenaries... You must know that many of the students are children of prominent families. I have never heard of anyone deliberately confronting George College, which shows that the college itself still has a considerable degree of deterrence.

【How did it come here...】

I can't figure it out.

For me, who only has a simple understanding of political forms, I really can't think of the hidden truth in it.

However, the focus now is not here.

"why me?"

"Because you are the most suitable."

"What's the reason?"

"Although you nominally entered school with the princess of the Alexander Empire, I couldn't find any information related to your identity. It is only possible that someone covered it up for you. This is enough to show that you are not a simple guy... ...Oh, on the other hand, it's because you are too weak, so I can take all of them during the exam."

"..."

In other words, my kind and amiable senior sister simply couldn't find a live animal to practice.

Her gaze has shifted from the training room to the wild monsters.

Inexplicably feeling a heavy pressure, I couldn't help but sigh.

"Does senior sister know what the content of the test is?"

"Well, the school will give students a certain amount of time to look for clues about the 'target', and at the same time find a suitable 'senior student' as a partner, and then deal with a series of procedures for leaving the school, and finally leave The academy goes to the destination, and the organs that guard the mission items are all prepared by the school... Well, you know, the favorite guard of mages."

"Infused clay puppets, I know, I know, they are quite resistant to energy blows and physical blows, and they can also maintain a very high recovery ability in battle, which guarantees the battle time, but the shot will not put people down It can be said to be an excellent actual combat test unit.”

Retelling the description about the clay puppet like an endorsement, I propped my head on one hand and looked out of the glass.

It was getting dark, and before you knew it, it was night.

It seems a little too long to go out this time.

According to what Emily said, I can probably infer the purpose of the test held by the school: looking for clues is to test the students' intelligence gathering ability; looking for a partner is to test the students' cooperation ability; The mission props are to evaluate the actual combat ability.

When encountering this situation for the first time, you will definitely be stunned and don't know where to start.

"It's not the first time, but there are major changes every year, so no one knows."

"Understandable."

"Even the job of looking for cats has appeared, and the school is actually collecting funds indirectly."

"..."

There is a sense of disillusionment once it is explained why some things are always like that.

I don't know how to answer Emily's words.

But she didn't mind, and continued as if she didn't care about my reaction.

"If you move quickly, it only takes a week or two to get the mission goal, and then there will be a lot of free time for activities. I want to use this time to visit a few ruins that I knew before, and exchange for other It would be quite troublesome for people to explain, most of you in Class D are quite rigid."

"...I'm really sorry."

Sure enough.

She didn't come here for no reason, but with a certain purpose.

She wants to use the remaining time after completing the task to investigate the ruins.

Emily is a well-known lover of relics, she is keen to travel to every place of historical significance, and wants to find the words or objects left by the previous era, or even the last era. The reason and motivation for her to learn magic, because magic itself is a product that has been passed down through the ages.

Most of the time, the college prohibits students from entering and leaving at will, except for some special circumstances, such as the immediate semester test. Once she becomes my teammate, Emily can leave the academy openly and go to the places she has wanted for a long time to satisfy her almost unsatisfied curiosity.

[I wonder if Lilith is ready? 】

For a moment, I was a little distracted, and it wasn't until Emily waved her hand in front of me a few times that I came back to my senses.

"That `s a deal?"

"Um."

There is nothing to say no to.

The reason for rejecting Evan before was that I didn't get along very well with him, but now it's Emily, I don't have this worry. Although I don't know her very well, I know that she really wants to explore those ruins. In this case, she won't have too much conflict with me during the academic test.

Because the sooner the mission objective is achieved, the more free time she can use at will.

"Okay, I'll go first, see you next time, classmate Neil."

"Goodbye, senior."

After saying goodbye to Emily, I lay down on the table.

No mood to read, no strength to go back to the dormitory.

Turning his head and looking out the window, his mind went blank.

From the moment we first met, I had a bad feeling. On Emily, I smell the same smell as Lilith. The two seem to have something in common, but after a series of comparisons of their identities and personalities, I can only conclude that "this is completely different." The two people" such a conclusion.

So, common ground?

Are they all upper class people?

No, no, at least these two guys are the type who have to go to formal occasions to match their status and temperament.

"I can't figure it out... Ugh!"

Suddenly someone patted me on the shoulder, and I stood up in fright, and turned around to see a person.

The most obvious features are the white hair and wide but emotionless eyes.

"What, it's Leslie, I was so shocked," I patted my chest to relieve my breath, then looked at him with a smile, and at the same time packed up the things on the table, "What do you want me to do... oh I forgot again, how about this, just write me what you want to say, but remember not to write any weird grammar, you know my lingua franca is not very good."

As I said that, I handed him the quill and paper, but he didn't take it, but looked at me indifferently.

"There will be magic text class in the evening."

"..."

My body froze.

Leslie was one of my roommates and the only freshman in the same grade as me... Ugh! Of course, he entered class D not because he was as weak in actual combat as me, but because he, as a person who is not good at magic control by nature, insisted on trying to learn magic.

I don't understand why he would do this at all.

His magic power is D-level, and his control ability is about the same as mine.

Half of the reason for staying in the class is that his rune translation is very good, and the other half is because he is my assistant.

Although it was only in name, I never asked him to do anything.

Because this is a guy who barely talks.

Because this is a guy who barely talks.

Every day is "..." and "!" and "?", if it weren't for the slight change in expression, I wouldn't have noticed what he was trying to express! Most of the time, I can only rely on black and white to understand what he wants to tell me! The reason why I say "almost" is because he really spoke just now! The first time you talked to me, you also told me a very scary fact! It will be the magic text class soon, I will definitely be late to the classroom at this time, the teacher of the magic text class is a very strict teacher who likes to punish people!

…………

Excuse me?

What did he say just now?

"You, you said that the rune class is about to start?"

"Um."

The taciturn boy uttered a syllable and nodded in affirmation, then looked at me with a "silent mourning for you".

I hugged the books in my arms, turned around and went to the bookshelf to put them back one by one. After putting them all away, I faced Leslie, stretched out my right hand to press his shoulder, smiled, and squinted my eyes. with him.

"Why didn't you call me earlier?"

"have no idea."

It means you don't know I'm in the library.

"When did you find it?"

"just."

In other words, it was already at this point in time when he found me.

"…………call!"

I sighed and grabbed him, ignoring the administrator's warning and rushing straight out of the library.

"Then why are you still in a daze!"

I hate runes. real.
