Chapter 10 - Resisting Classmate
I had to take a practical exam for Vanilla's class, a test that could cost me credits and my year.
It seems that Vanilla is a teacher who needs to be watched out for, but for now, I just have to do the practicals and get by.
If even one of us fails the test, we'll all be repeat the year.
I tried to choose a partner based on the magic value of the basic ability so that the ability would be average, since there was a limit of "in pairs".
「Ah, so I'll be last. My magic value is 1.」
Marilyn said matter-of-factly.
「「 1!? 」」
「Seriously? It's hard to find a Dwarf warrior with that low.」
「You're not at the right level to be a Magician, you know!」
My classmates say angrily, but they're right, I don't see many people with a 1 magic value.
「Murhh――It's okay, I've been a family of Magicians for generations. I can use magic just fine.」
Marilyn puffed out her cheeks and fiddled with her stupid hair with her fingers.
「That's right. Now is not the time to talk about this. Marilyn, work with me.」
I said, taking Marilyn by the shoulders.
Marilyn has also passed the entrance exam and is here. She must have trained her level considerably or be highly skilled in magic.
「Oooh, thank you. By the way, what is Alec's magic value?」
「It's 23」.
「Eh!」
「「「Haaaah?!」」」
「You're joking again.」
「Hmph, he's not joking. I checked his guild card, and I also contacted the magic guild to make sure it wasn't a forgery.」
Melissa says, but you went to the trouble to inquire after that? I'm sure you're a very skeptical person.
「Hmph, I'm also 23, by the way. Surprise me and praise me.」
Kaede says with a grin, but you're a hero, too.
「There are some great guys out there. ......」
「Ah, well, I'm low on 3 too. ......」
「Wait, that's a lie. There's no way an elf can get less than 5!」
One of the students said, so I using [Appraisal] on the elf and saw that it was indeed 11.
Stupid. In this combination, the partner will be someone with a high magic value, so he deliberately declared it low.
「That elf is 11. Look, it's meaningless if everyone doesn't pass. Don't try to make it easy on yourself. You have MP and level. ...... Enough said, I'll rearrange all of you with [Appraisal].」
I'll use my skills to pull the classmates who don't like it and put them in order.
「No, don't line me up! I can't get married if he knows my magic value. We've been Magicians for generations. That's our selling point!」
「Shut up, raise your level and play with MP. Or better yet, train in cooking, makeup, or whatever you can do to improve your girl power and get a highly capable Magician as a son-in-law.」
「Kkuhh, Alec you bastard, you're giving away important personal information! Don't underestimate my highest level skill, [Basic Ability and Magic Power Limited Blocked View Lv4]!」
Why is it that only in times like this do you have a niche skill?
But my【Appraisal】is at max level 5. I can still handle it.
「You have a magic value of 8.」
[You idiot! ......you saw through me!? I've never been discovered before, not even by my dad, not even by the appraiser at the castle! Kkuhh, I'm so proud of my skills. ...... Ah, I've lost confidence in my ability to survive! I despaired!」
「Now go ahead and die on your own later, with your useless piece of junk skill. Come on, don't be a blabbermouth. Chant quickly from the person you've teamed up with! We're running out of time.」
Melissa also cooperates to move classmates.
「It's useless anyway.」
「That's right. No matter how hard we try, we can't do it with a dropout like Marilyn.」
「No, I've got Marilyn covered. Just do it. Whoever cuts corners, I'll rape the beautiful girls.」
「「 Ehhh!? 」」
「That's right. If the other boys don't get serious, I'll tell your father, and I'll do a blackmail and shut down your connections after graduation, so be prepared.」
「Damn, blackmail is dirty.」
「The Jackal family is going to stare at me. ......」
「W-What should I do? Even if I try my best, he might say I'm lazy and rape me. ...... Me has worked hard for 32 years to keep this body clean, and to have my virginity taken away in a place like this is just too much!」
The woman who looks like a sumo wrestler's yokozuna puts her hands on her cheeks and shakes her body.
I don't care, you're not on my strike zone. I said beautiful girls are.
With the sorting done, I was about to cast a woodgrow spell on the buds growing there, but I had a bad feeling.
I looked behind me and saw Vanilla-sensei looking at me with a triumphant look on her face.
Well, since the requirement is that two people must take turns sharing in the raising of the tree or we will be disqualified, if I make it one meter tall in one shot, she's going to use that as an excuse to make me repeat the year.
You dirty bitch.
「Marilyn, you cast the spell first.」
「Yeah, I got it. Uh, ――Buds of Mother Earth, gather their blessings and grow with their mana! Woodgrow!」
You didn't do so well on the writing test, but you recited the spell in one shot without flinching. She also has good control over her magic.
She's much more resourceful than I thought she would be.
However, Marilyn's magic value is at its lowest, so it has only grown about five millimeters.
「I'll take the next one, if you don't mind.」
「Hmph, I said take turns or exchange magic power. Have it your way.」
Vanilla, who looked away with a pout of amusement, did not seem to hide her displeasure, but she seemed to judge the test fairly enough.
Would a guy like this summon the "Black Bird" to the Lodar Wetlands to attack the villagers and sabotage the entrance exam?
I have a feeling something is wrong, but I'll find out what it is later.
Now, let's get this over with.
I'm going to use my [Magical Knowledge] skills and also my job as a "Sage" to start over from choosing the words for the spell runes.
If you use strong words and spirits, you can save a lot of time, and if your classmates use the same spells, it will be easier for them to pass.
People who can only do what they're taught are manual people, and that's no way to develop the human race.
First, "Earth".
A bigger word is better.
If you want to use it more broadly and deeply, I would say "Planet".
However, my [Magical Knowledge] points out that this is out of style, so I convert it into the word "Star" to match the style of our world.
I add more modifiers to the bud, and choose the powerful word "Life".
The other word is "Extend", but....
This is also an aggressive word, "Pierce the Heavens," and focuses only on the speed of growth.
Perfect.
Now I'll be able to grow it to the passing standard of one meter in no time.
「――Sprouts of life rooted in the Mother Star, gather its blessings, feed on its mana, and poke the heavens! Woodgrow!」
I chanted, the grass glowed, and the ground splits open. The ground cracked loudly, and the tree began to grow into a thick trunk about a meter in diameter.
No, it wasn't growing at an easy speed. It was as fast as a bullet or a rocket. The tree flew vertically and grew.
「Whoa!」
「W-what the heck?」
「T-that can't be the original runes!?」
「Oh-ohhhh!」
After chanting it myself, I was a little freaked out. I was almost caught in a growing tree and took an uppercut, but I'm a trained swordsman, and I've got good dynamic vision, so I was able to avoid it.
Marilyn, who was nearby, is also a quick, and she's rather high level, too. At lvl 38, she must have been an adventurer.
I'm glad no one was hurt.
「All right, it's clear. Ooii, that's enough, tree.」
The magic power has stopped, but it's still growing. It's not slowing down at all.
「Come on, that's enough. What are you doing, Alec? Hurry up, stop it!」
Melissa said in a reproachful voice.
「No, I don't know how to stop it」
I'll be honest with you.
