Chapter 13 – 13.Lucedia Academy Entrance Exam (2)
Delt’s explanation was identical to Rupan’s tutorial and method.
When entering school, you must fight against a battle golem prepared by the academy.
In the tutorial, you will learn how to use movement evasion attack skills here.
“First of all, those who are priests should leave! A separate test awaits priests!”
‘This is my first time hearing this?’
In the game tutorial, the main character was tested with a sword.
However, since the priestly position is in the recovery field, there seems to be a separate exam prepared.
‘Well, depending on the equipment, the priest character’s basic attack skills can easily defeat the boss…’
I guess they took this step because it doesn’t seem to be easy in this world.
As the priests who were applying for admission were separated and moved to another place, the wizards who were preparing behind Delt summoned a golem.
A magic circle formed on the floor, and a golem the size of an adult man with a green core on its chest appeared.
Five golems were summoned at intervals.
“Five people each come out of the line you are currently in, say their names, and then face them! The person who defeats the golem will be eligible to enter the academy! However! If you are caught attacking other golems or enrollees than the golem you are fighting, Disqualification!”
An explanation that didn’t exist in the game.
However, I was able to guess why this explanation was given.
There may have been some nobles who like to show off and cause trouble by killing other golems to show off their skills, or there may have been people who thought that if the number of other participants decreased, they could win.
“Then the entrance exam will begin! Those who will take the exam, please come forward!”
***
30 minutes after the entrance exam begins.
Surprisingly, the number of people was decreasing quickly.
Poop!
“Aaaaah!”
“Eliminated! Next!”
This is because there were surprisingly many people who could not defeat the golem and flew away.
As a rule of thumb, the golem was moving at the speed of an elite bandit.
In the tutorial, it was a golem that attacked slowly, but anyone can pass the exam if it’s a golem that is exactly like the game.
And even among those who passed, not many were able to defeat the golem right away.
Basically, most of them were those who fought for more than 2 minutes and barely won, or had a moderate amount of attack and defense with the golem and won decently, but not overwhelmingly.
“Eat this!”
It’s a joke!
“I passed! Wait there!”
“Wow!”
And there were many people who passed the test who beat the golem more easily than others, and who seemed familiar to me.
In other words, it is a gacha character.
If this continues, my turn will come in 10 minutes.
“Uh, uh, what should I do? Will someone like me be able to pass? The golem’s movements look fast, and someone like me, who is slow, will be eliminated. I want to go back. Ha, but if I go back without even taking the exam, I will meet the teacher who recommended me after a long time. I’m afraid to see this…!”
And Pamela, who is scheduled to take the exam before me, is quite anxious after seeing the other applicants for admission as the exam begins.
Well, since it appears in the game, I’m sure I’ll pass somehow.
But.
‘Rather than leaving them here, giving them a little courage will be more helpful in recruiting the party.’
“Calm down.”
“Yes!?”
Surprised, Pamela turned around and looked at me.
“Oh, sorry! I was loud again, right? Are you offended by someone like me for coming to this place for no reason? I’m sorry.”
When muttering, he speaks quietly, but when thinking, his voice is subtly loud.
‘This is the Pamela you often see in games.’
He stirred slightly and slowly so that Pamela could clearly see it.
“No, I just asked because I was worried.”
“W-are you worried? Again… You’re worried about me again…”
“I don’t know why I’m so unsure. Now that I’m here, give it your all.”
“Thank you. Ha, but I’m like that, even if I try my best…”
“Hmm, really? I think you’ll pass.”
At my words her her her, Pamela blinked her eyes and looked up at me.
“Huh? Me, you mean me?”
“Okay.”
“Why, why do you think that? A person like me is just as unpleasant as a crawling caterpillar… No! To someone like me compared, even a caterpillar is pitiful…”
These constant low self-esteem comments.
However, Pamela’s charm is that she is willing to take extreme actions when the circumstances arise.
The representative subculture game is Rupan, and I, who have been exposed to various subcultures, know how to communicate well with these characters.
In the case of Pamela, even if you speak too logically or rationally, she doesn’t eat well.
The hit rate is low, and one tends to degrade oneself further by following that logic.
In these cases, it is best to speak in a more instinctive and ambiguous way.
“It’s a feeling.”
“Go, feel it?”
“Yeah. My gut just tells me that you might pass.”
“Uh, uh, that’s… Uhh…”
Pamela is speechless.
Pamela, who has no self-esteem, is good at putting herself down, but she can’t put others down.
And if I deny it here, it’s the same as saying that I can’t get my senses back.
Moreover, it would be impossible for Pamela’s pulpit to belittle the feelings of someone who worried about her ‘insignificant self’ twice.
She lightly placed her hand on Pamela’s shoulder as she was speechless.
“My intuition is good. So feel free to use your skills and you will pass.”
Pamela lowers her head and plays with her fingers.
“Uh, uh… Thank you… Hee hee, cheer up… I’ll see.”
“Okay, cheer up.”
And after a while.
“Next!”
Pamela’s turn has come.
“Yes, yes!”
Pamela stepped forward, clutching the wand in her hand.
“The name is!”
“Hey, it’s Pamela!”
After shouting the name, a golem is formed immediately.
“Start!”
“Haa, haa, haa, haa, gulp!”
Pamela exhaled harshly, swallowed once, and took the test.
Pamela fired the basic unique active skill she often saw on her Rupan at the golem.
“Ji, the vine of obsession!”
Perfect! And when she struck the ground with her staff, vines came out from under her golem and wrapped around it, slowing its movement.
This is Pamela’s debuff skill that reduces the enemy’s speed.
Pamela then activated her own skill from a distance.
“Nail of crushing!”
The defense-lowering skill, which sends a glowing nail flying at the opponent, hits the golem.
“Sword of loss!”
If a hit is made, a skill that reduces the enemy’s attack power is poured into the golem.
These are all skills that have a debuff effect and also deal decent damage.
However, the golem did not fall despite Pamela’s continuous barrage of skills.
She tried to break the vines that bound her and move forward.
“Uh. Huh?! Four, the sword of loss! The sword of loss!”
Only after the startled Pamela used her Sword of Loss skill two more times was her her core destroyed and her golem her her fell.
“I passed! Please wait in your seat!”
“Uh, huh? Really? I passed, huh?”
“Why are you procrastinating? Hurry up and move!”
“Ah! I’m sorry!”
Pamela apologized and moved in her seat.
On the way to the waiting area for successful applicants, Pamela looked behind her and quickly nodded at me and lowered her head.
I responded by lightly giving her a thumbs up.
“Next!”
Finally, my turn has come.
“The name is!”
“Lee Si-han.”
As with other applicants for admission, as soon as I gave my name, the wizard summoned a golem.
“Start!”
As soon as Delt’s signal came, I ran straight towards the golem.
My goal is to quickly create a fixed party and then help various characters grow to defeat the Demon Lord of Chaos.
To do that, it is not enough to just be intimate.
So that you can think that what I say and my advice can be trusted.
You have to show your skills.
Closing the distance in an instant with a more agile body due to the equipment effect.
And he hurled the crescent spear towards the golem’s core along its trajectory.
[Pierced through the summoned golem.]
The golem’s core was cleanly pierced through the golem’s body itself.
When the spear is pulled out, the golem falls backwards.
“W-what is that?”
“I couldn’t see the movement properly.”
“You pierced the golem?”
“What is that monster?”
I can hear the voices of people whispering in surprise behind me.
There were a few people I could easily deal with until my turn came, but no one took down the golem as quickly as me.
Moreover, it completely penetrated the golem.
The other successful applicants targeted and destroyed the golem’s core, defeating the golem.
This is because attacking parts other than the core did not cause significant damage.
It was the same for gacha characters.
It was possible to scorch the golem or slightly crack it, but it did not cause significant damage to parts other than the core.
That’s why people are surprised to see me pierce the core and penetrate the golem’s body at the same time.
Of course, he doesn’t respond to the whispers.
I just quietly looked at Delt.
“…”
Delt looked at me silently for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“I passed! Please wait in your seat!”
With just that silence, my presence must have been firmly established in the test tube, Delt.
One of the purposes.
It was successful in making a mark.
It is easier to work later in many ways if you get recognition from those in the teaching profession.
