Chapter 104 – Midterms

#104.

“Then are you ready?”
“Yes.”
“Okay. Then go!”

Quung!

At the same time as the horse, Zeke Rostar spurred him on the floor and was shot like a bullet.

Then he came straight away wielding a wooden sword for sparring.

─Weeeee!

A wooden sword with tremendous power aims at the abdomen.

Usually, here we use the pouring technique learned in the theory class.

The original purpose of Zeke Rostar was to make sure that the skill was properly mastered.

However, if you force a choice that is not a choice like that, you will want to go against it.

“Huh!”

Faaaaang!!

As he struck Zeke Rosta’s sword vigorously, the air exploded with the impact, and his hair fluttered.

“He has excellent physical abilities.”
“Yes. I am rather strong.”
“Yeah..Then go properly now.”

As if further tests were meaningless, Zecro Star immediately wrapped an aura around his wooden sword.

Usually, after trying out all the techniques, they bring out the aura.

Except for Class A and Class B, everyone can’t respond unless they use Aura.

In effect, announcing the end of the test.

But I’m manifesting an aura from the start.

Of course, I don’t hate it either.

“Goes!”

─Peeing!

Zeke Rostar immediately started pouring in a series of attacks.

One blow The power of a blow is enough to explode an ordinary person the moment it hits!

I knocked it off with a quick movement using a nice island.

Phut! Papabababang! Quaang!!

Even in one second, dozens of battles came and went, and the shock wave exploded.

-Wow…

The students who were watching the scene just opened their mouths in a daze and let out exclamations.

And then Seria’s cry was heard.

“Lay. Cheer up!!”

I feel sorry for her chest, which has not shaken even though she cheers by jumping up and down as if telling her to cheer up.

Still, cheering for them gives me strength.

“Haaaaa!”

I also saw the professor’s reaction and struck a powerful blow using coercion.

Then Zicro Star opened his eyes and hit him back with a ferocious laugh.

Haha! Feel so good!”

Kwaaaaang!!

The wooden swords collided, but a storm raged with a sound as if a bomb had exploded.

─Kyaaaaagh!
─Awesome!

The shocked students screamed and stepped back.

‘It’s a pity.’

It would have been nice if they had worn skirts, but they all wore pants, so there was no such thing as showing their underwear in the wind.

As I clicked my tongue in regret, Zeke Rosta smiled happily and rotated the aura like a chainsaw.

It seemed to be a method unique to the Rostar family.

“Can I do more?”

Seeing the question as if to confirm, I silently stretched out my aura and raised my sword.

Then Zeke Rosta rushes in.

Once, as a taster, I lightly swiped the sword, and the aura-shaped saw blade gnawed at me roughly as if it were going to gnaw away at my aura.

Kaga Gak!!

In real time, the aura surrounding my wooden sword was being ground and the consumption of magical power increased.

Seeing that, I immediately responded with sincerity.

Wooooo!!

As my aura vibrated violently, the aurora saw blade shook and bounced off without proper power.

Caan!!

To drain each other’s strength, they took a few steps back and confronted each other.

“Is that your trump card?”
“Well… Let’s say that.”
“Haha! Vibration.. You have a good management method.”
“It’s worth using.”
“It’s worth using.. Then let’s take a look at it one more time!!”

Zeke Rostar charged once more to see if he was excited about the fight, and then stopped after exchanging swords for another 10 minutes.

“Whoa~ That’s definitely a 6-star. Also, his proficiency was almost at its peak. Amazing.”
“Thank you. So what about grades?”

When he reacted lightly to his praise, Zeke Rosta laughed and said as if it were natural.

“It’s an A+.”
“Okay. Thank god.”
“Okay. Then go down… Next!”

At Zeke Rosta’s words, I put the wooden sword on the stand and returned to the bench.

Then Ceria sat down next to her and gave her compliments.

“It was amazing! Everyone was amazed!”
“Is that so?”
“Yes! Sure. Look over there.”

When I saw the direction Seria was pointing at, the female students were approaching merrily, blushing.

The group, who had noticed as if they were not going to step up first, started talking to each other, starting with a confident-looking student.

“My name is Kaya from Viscount Chapid. It was a really great swordsmanship. Can I please ask for a lesson sometime?”
“Hmm? Anything.”

In that way, starting with one person’s request, various requests began to follow.

I was bored being alone, so I kindly accepted and talked with him.

Of course, only female students accepted the Dalian request.

Because I didn’t want to spend time sweating with the guys.

***

─Ding dong dang dong!

“Stop!”

At the same time as Tina’s cry, all the test papers were sucked into her hands, just like the first day.

“Whoa… It’s finally over.”

I was mentally very tired because I was studying in a way that didn’t fit my needs.

However, that fatigue quickly disappeared.

It was thanks to the Myungkyung Index.

‘It’s amazing.’

Mental fatigue from studying was also regarded as damage, so it quickly recovered and developed tolerance.

Of course, it was just as boring as the first.

“Good job everyone. This is the end of the midterm exam. Please rest in peace.”

-Come to the office.-

Tina looked over her exam papers and let everyone know the exam was over.

And at the same time, she sent me a doctor and left the classroom.

─Hung Sung Hung Sung

As soon as Tina left the classroom, the students all mingled with their respective groups and began to chat.

After enjoying the tumult for a while, I got up from my seat.

And the moment you are about to leave the classroom.

“Lai! Wait a minute.”

A high pitched voice came from behind.

When I turned my head, three female students were approaching me.

“Any business?”

They had never had a conversation before, so when I asked with a puzzled expression, one representative came forward and made a suggestion.

“Lay. I’m thinking of throwing a party with us and others. Can you come?”

Looking behind her, a group of dozens of people were sending friendly smiles.

So I smiled and said with a troubled look on my face, showing the courtesy of an aristocrat.

“Sorry. Young lady. I have a prior appointment…”
“Oh, is that so? But if it’s a prior drug…”

Maybe he’s guessing who I’m going to meet.

In Jira Academy, where we had already shown kissing at prom and were often seen together after that, Tina and I were seen as lovers in reality.

“Yes. You’re right. You might be jealous, so I can’t help it.”

When I said this while scratching my cheeks as if embarrassed, the female students blushed, whispered among themselves, and clenched their fists.

“No. We will cheer for you too.”
“Thank you.”

I roughly rejected the offer and headed straight to the office.

As always, I knocked and walked in to see Tina at her desk in the office.

“Are you scoring already? Rest today.”
“I just like to get things done quickly. It won’t take long anyway.”

As expected, Tina’s hand moved so fast that it was difficult for her eyes to follow.

Like geniuses who read a book they saw on TV in less than 10 seconds, Tina took a quick glance and scored.

Less than five minutes had passed before Tina, who had scored all of them, exhaled her whoops and put her pen down.

“Are you done?”
“Huh. Anyway.. You studied hard.”
“Yes?”
“This.”

Asking back at the sudden noise, Tina held out her test paper.

It was my test paper.

“Oh.. 54 points? It must have been right.”

I left one question at the end and thought about it for a long time, and the question I took was excellent.

Thanks to that, she seems to have been able to pass 50 points.

As I smiled at the thought that my hair was quite usable, Tina approached.

“Tina?”
“…Good job.”

Then she suddenly put her hand up and started stroking my hair.

It was hard for her to notice, but the slightly raised corners of her mouth let me know that she was happy.

I looked at the blue eyes that were looking at me warmly and said.

“Tina. Can I kiss you?”

Then Tina stopped stroking her hair and glared at her.

“If you say you don’t like it, don’t do it?”
“No.”
“Then finish quickly.”
“Yes. Tina. I love you.”

It was an ambiguous acceptance that could be said to be pleasant, but I happily accepted the offer and kissed it.

It wasn’t a kiss where I unilaterally grabbed the waist and roughed it, but a two-way action.

Of course, she didn’t like Tina sticking out her tongue first, but she didn’t do anything to avoid it.

“Chew.. Tina. Did I do well?”
“Huh. I really didn’t know that I could do this much in a month. It’s really great.”
“It feels really good when Tina compliments me. So, just a little more.”

I thought it was a waste of time to talk, so I kissed again.

Tina couldn’t help but lick the offal, this time using her tongue as well.

So she gave her a gentle pat on the back and little by little she began to calm herself down.

“Chew.. Ha..”

As if I wasn’t the only one feeling it, Tina let out a heated breath.

Only now did I really feel that I had successfully attacked Tina.

After that, we kissed affectionately until the sun completely set and the moon rose in the office where the sunset was setting.

“Think of an image. Figure out the movement of your aura in detail and do something suitable for it.”
“Lee Yii Ik!!”

At my words, Seria looked at her sword and struggled.

However, her sword did not change at all, and soon she lowered her head sullenly.

“No..”
“Um… Cheer up. I think it’s about time to slow down.”
“Is that so? Ehh..”

One week after midterm exams.

The academy was excited about the news that the festival would be held in two months.

There was no summer vacation in this world like the Earth in my previous life.

Instead, there is a vacation of over 4 months in winter, but I can’t help but regret it.

But is it to replace him?

The festival is held for two weeks in mid-July.

The festival at Ilayna Academy is very popular, attracting visitors from all over the empire.

And as famous as it is, the preparation is thorough.

Related materials are already coming in, and workers are making props here and there.

We will probably take a break from lectures in a month and start preparing for the festival.

Recalling a story I heard from my homeroom professor a few days ago, I pointed to the bench and said,

“Rest for now. It’s lunchtime now.”
“Yes..”

Seria, who had not yet manifested her aura, sighed and sat down on her bench.

As she watched, she picked up a water bottle placed on the bench and took a drink, but a voice came from the speaker.

[First year swordsmanship class Rai students, please come to the reception desk on the 1st floor of the Central Main Building. I tell you once again. 1st year swordsman class Rai is…]

“What?”

I was just wondering because there was nothing to find me in the central main building.

“Lay. Didn’t you come to visit an acquaintance?”
“Friend?”
“Yes. That’s the only case where the main building is called by broadcasting, isn’t it?”
“It’s not like that…”

But who is coming to see me?

‘Is it Mark or Lina?’

But can the two of them come this far?

Especially since Rina was pregnant, it was difficult for her to move.

However, it was impossible to guess what was going on because there were no other people to come to visit, and I had never done anything to the extent of being called by the main building.

However, once they called, I had to go.

It’s a small chance, but it’s possible that Mark and Lina really came.

“Then I go.”
“Yes. Lai. See you tomorrow!”

As she greeted Seria, she waved her hand saying goodbye.

Maji waved her hand and ran straight to the central main building.

Jump!

When I opened the gate with both hands and went inside, the receptionist’s older sister stood up from sitting at the reception desk and approached me.

“Ah, you are here. Are you Mr. Lai?”
“Yes. You’re right. But what happened?”

When I asked what my business was, the receptionist immediately began to explain.

“A friend of mine is visiting. He’s waiting in the waiting room right now, would you like to go see him? He was a merchant named Locke. In case you don’t know…”
“No. It’s okay. It is someone you know.”
“Is that so? Then go upstairs. You can go to Room 201. Enough then.”

After the receptionist’s older sister finished her explanation, she sat back in the receptionist’s chair.

I watched it quietly and quickly climbed the stairs.

‘Locke came..?’

He was a person I hadn’t thought of at all, so I felt a little bewildered.

As soon as I opened the door to room 201, I saw Locke sitting on the sofa.

“Lock..”
“Hey~ Rai. A long time.”
“Yes. Long time no see. I didn’t know that Locke would come. I thought he might be Mark or Lina..”

At my words, Locke smiled and shook his head.

“Rina can’t come because she’s full right now. Isn’t that too much anyway? He said something about how Mark didn’t send a letter.”
“Is it so? It happened because I was out of my mind.”

I forgot about the two of them because I was so absorbed in attacking Tina.

But what followed made me feel even more guilty.

“Haha! Do you remember Mia? Do you know how much I cry He says he doesn’t even send letters because he has small breasts, huh! Really..”

Locke burst out laughing as if it were absurd.

“Ah .. How is she Mia?”
“Um .. She gets along just fine if you have to ask which one. I’m indebted to working at Mark’s inn. Mark and Lina also seemed to like her.”
“That is fortunate.”

She was a lost child who accepted it on a whim, so she let it go and it was fortunate that it was caught in her heart.

As I sighed in relief, Locke reached into his arms and pulled out the letter.

“Take it. This is a letter from Markne.”
“Ah, thank you.”

The letter was carefully placed on stationery.

I wondered if Mia had chosen the one with a pretty fresh and cute pattern on it.

Softly—

As soon as I took the letter out of the stationery and opened it, I saw Lina’s cute handwriting.
