Chapter 24 – This Entrance Test Is Safe!(2)

Elisha put pressure on her to harass Karla… I have no reason to go there.

It’s not because I believe in the academy’s rules, the world that will be on the verge of destruction within five years, and my own powerlessness, which will be strengthened in the meantime.

Elisha will just fall on her own.

… You may say what this means, but it is true.

Just as Karla’s Lindelheit family collapsed on suspicion of cult, Elisha’s Sylvan Magic Tower collapsed after becoming an enemy of the continent while conducting forbidden research.

By the way, the work on the side of Sylvan’s Tower is not a false accusation.

Indeed, the tower owner and executive-level mages were conducting forbidden research, and the aftermath of that had an effect on the outside of the tower, so they were eventually caught and subjugated.

Fortunately, unlike the charges of cults, is it that the guilt-by-association system does not apply to taboo research?

Thanks to this, Elisha, who was at the academy, was able to be released without charges after a rigorous investigation.

However, everything has already turned into ashes.

In the end, Elisha finds herself in a situation where she doesn’t even have enough money for her school’s food, let alone her tuition.

Helping Elisha was her recruiting route at H&A.

It doesn’t require long affinity work or special achievements.

If you simply buy her a meal and cheer her on a few times, you will be able to recruit her from the beginning. Even her ability is good.

Truly a colleague for newbies!

… However, at this point, she will start to get curious.

What the hell was the forbidden magic that Sylvan’s tower was supposed to do, and what had to be done to make the whole tower fly away.

It was not difficult to find out because it was an important case even in the game, but surprisingly, the taboo committed by the Sylvan Magic Tower was….

It is a spirit summoning.

“It is funny. The Sylvan Magic Tower consists of only elves.”

“Yes? Yes. So you have to be careful, Master. Elves have a strong sense of fellowship, so when Glencielle asks for help, they won’t refuse. Even if it means harming strangers.”

Carla was concerned with a serious face at her murmurs that flowed involuntarily.

When I gently stroked her platinum-colored hair to her admiration, her hardened face quickly loosened up.

Hehe….”

Carla smiled and asked, who was hesitant with a relieved expression.

“Carla.”

“Yes?”

“What do you think about summoning spirits?”

She looked serious as if she had taken the carrot she was eating from Carla, who had just been eating a carrot like a rabbit in her mouth.

“It’s an absolutely unacceptable taboo.”

Yes.

This is the world’s perception of summoning spirits.

“Seo, you couldn’t believe you were interested in Master’s spirit, right? Absolutely not! Never! I can’t live without my master!”

“Calm down. It’s not like that. I was just curious. Above all, look at my ears. Is there any reason for me to leave normal magic behind and dabble in elemental magic?”

“Whew… Good luck then. As for magic, I’ll tell you all about it, so please don’t even look at that dangerous thing. Master.”

Carla sighed as if she was relieved when she showed her round ear.

The reason Karla simply agreed was simple.

As long as you don’t have elven blood, it’s much more efficient to just use magic or aura than spirits.

Summoning a spirit can be done by anyone with a bit of magical knowledge, but communicating with a spirit and making it move according to one’s will is a completely different matter.

In fact, it can be seen that spiritism is an exclusive property of elves.

… Okay. Spiritualism was a major skill to the extent that this knowledge spread universally.

Until 300 years ago.

War of the Gods.

A long and desperate war between good gods and evil gods, which forms the basis of the H&A worldview.

However, evil spirits did not exist on the continent of Eurelia from the beginning.

A crazy archmage accidentally called an alien god while researching another dimension, and they settled down in this world and were called evil gods.

Since it was revealed that the origin of the war that once brought the world to the brink of destruction was an existence from the ‘outside’, all types of summoning techniques were designated as taboo.

Spirit summoning was no exception.

The spirit realm is also a different world anyway, so it might unintentionally bring disaster like an evil spirit?

It is said that summoning spirits is prohibited, and all existing spirit magicians either canceled their contracts or died while refusing to do so.

Since then, the elves have focused exclusively on archery and magic, and Sylvan’s tower was one of those towers.

I couldn’t overcome the elf’s instinct and was going to summon the spirit and go hook it.

Anyway, in a world where even the spirits are so intimidating, what would happen if the fact that I came from Earth was known?

It’s the death penalty for nothing.

Even if I say that I have come to slay all evil spirits and prevent the destruction of the world, nothing will change.

Because I’m going to try to hang it with just the fact that I came from outside.

… Maybe even Carla.

I pinched Karla’s nose for no reason in her bitter heart.

“Peeng!”

Carla made a strange sound and blinked her elongated eyes with a puzzled expression.

What… She cares about her owner at best, and when her pinch returns, she wonders.

But I have no intention of telling you why. This is a fact that only I should know after seeing the ending of this world someday.

Since he didn’t say anything, did he think he was pinching for no reason?

Carla’s ruby ​​eyes were filled with a little resentment and sadness. But what can I do, that is the life of a slave.

… I’m sorry if I bothered you too much, so I decided to give you another carrot.

“Carla.”

“Nep.”

She pouted her lips and pointed in front of her at Carla, who made a snoring noise.

“Now it’s my turn, shall we go eat something delicious after the exam?”

“… Yes?”

Carla let go of her hand holding her nose and widened her eyes.

“That, why? She even taught me magic when she came this far, and she froze while listening to the circumstances at the guards, but since you made her core well, she decided to buy me something delicious.”

“…….”

“Carla, you know better about the academy than I do, right? So she thinks in advance where she wants to eat from now on. No need to worry about the price.”

At my words, Carla looked at me blankly for a moment, then she smiled and clung to me.

“Jzuin!”

As if this wasn’t enough, I even rubbed her face on the nape of my neck.

“Zuin! Zuin! Zuin!”

A voice overflowing with love.

As usual, Elisha comes and goes, and there are a lot of people paying attention to her, but seeing her cling to her like this, her attention is even more focused.

Most of them will fail the entrance exam, so I don’t really care.

“Master, you are shy!”

“I?”

What is this again

“That’s right! You just have to tell them not to worry about Glenciel-sama and that you have no intention of punishing them, but you’re saying that you’re going to give them a reward like this, right?”

“…… ?”

Didn’t mean that?

What kind of person am I in Carla?

Hehe… Merciful Master. You won’t know how fortunate I am that you are my master.”

Carla smiles as if she is the happiest person in the world.

As she watched that figure, she slowly dropped Carla at her ever-soaring playfulness.

She raised the corners of her smirk toward Karla, who was looking up at her with her bright eyes.

“Not really?”

“… Swimming?”

“A prize is a prize, and a punishment is a punishment. Be prepared for tonight.”

“…… !”

Carla’s focus shook violently as if an earthquake had occurred.

The moment she was about to add that it was a joke, giggling at the image she believed had been stamped on her foot by an axe.

“Next applicant! Yandel, come up to the test site!”

“Ah, yes!”

My turn came, so I decided to take the test first.

***

For some reason, as if she had lost her country, she took Karla with empty eyes to the test site.

Perhaps he had been waiting in advance, the examiner holding a stack of papers grumbled and opened his mouth.

“The exam is held up there, so the attendant must wait here… Miss Carla?”

“Ah… Professor Maykin… It’s been a while….”

“How could Ms. Carla go back to the academy… ? More than that, why are your eyes like this…… Oh, that’s how it happened.”

A middle-aged woman nodding her head, alternating between the slave mark on Carla’s neck and me.

I never thought that the professor who came as an examiner would be dating Carla.

“Carla? Does she know this person?”

“Your master. When I was in the academy, he was the professor of the enchantment department I studied as a minor.”

“Aha?”

No wonder.

Judging by the atmosphere, it was not the level of meeting back and forth, but it seemed like they were quite close.

It’s just that he’s a master from the past.

By the way, I’ve never heard of the name Maykin.

I wouldn’t know if it was an extra without a name, but I thought there would be someone I didn’t know among the professors who were all named.

Oh, is that it?

Tutorial… So, it is understandable that I don’t know if he died or was seriously injured and withdrew from the front line during the raid on the exam site of the Cloudy Union, which should have happened in the first place.

While nodding my head thinking that this way is much more plausible than that there is a professor I forgot.

An awkward atmosphere still flowed between Carla and Meikin.

“…….”
“…….”

Maikin was looking at Carla with a complicated expression for a long time.

Carla hung her head down as if she had done something wrong.

… I don’t like it.

Even though I told you not to care about other people’s reactions, you have this kind of attitude.

It was only during Elisha’s time that the other side started a fight, so she couldn’t help it. Even if you hit it, it’s not like that now.

So he lightly slapped Karla’s butt.

Phut!

“Hey!”

“What are you blankly doing? To say that I have to go to the exam hall alone, you sit over there, Carla.”

“Ah, yes! I understand, master.”

“Even if someone you don’t know buys you something delicious, don’t follow it.”

“I only eat the food my master allows me to eat. My body and mind are all yours.”

“What if there is someone who says they are my friends and asks me to follow them because I am looking for them?”

“Master, you have no friends. It’s clearly a lie, so I’ll wait for the master here as you commanded.”

“Great. Well done.”

“Hi-Hi….”

When I gently tickled her chin as a sign of her praise, Carla smiled brightly as if she had never been depressed.

Since she told me she wanted to look good, her flattery has increased a lot.

She turned her head only after confirming that Karla, who had returned to her usual mood, was sitting on a chair near her.

“Examiner? Can I just go up here?”

Pointing the small stage in front of her to the same place, Meikin nodded her head.

Then, with her eyes looking at the indescribable trash in her words, she explained the way she was tested.

“… You’re right. Just go up and the test will start right away, so you just have to defeat the illusions of the monsters that appear. Applicants’ talents are judged in various fields, so it’s okay if you can’t defeat the monsters. Of course, if you defeat it, you get a bonus point.”

A tone that seems to emphasize writing in a strange way.

That’s too much I’m a really good owner.

Well, just looking at the scene from a moment ago, it’s enough to misunderstand.

I couldn’t explain it word by word, so I shrugged my shoulders moderately and went up to the exam hall.

The opponent isn’t a real monster, but it’s the first battle I’ve ever experienced since learning magic.

It’s a tutorial, but anyway, now it belongs to the main story of H&A.

I went through the tutorial several times because of the fucking non-skip… Are you sure you want to drop out at once?

“Let’s do it together.”

The higher the first class you are assigned, the better.
