Chapter 50
Episode 50:
The exam has begun.
The content of the test was as follows.
Behind the academy, there is a forest connected to a mountain range.
There are times when the forest becomes full of mountain beasts and monsters that come down from the mountains.
Twice in the first and second half of the year.
At that time, the village residents had to worry about not being able to do their jobs properly and being attacked by monsters.
That’s why the academy’s exam was created.
During that period, the academy’s cadets eliminated monsters in the name of exams.
It was a symbiotic relationship, which was good because the academy didn’t have to worry about what questions would be asked every time it was tested, and the villagers didn’t have to worry.
“All wild animals such as wild boars and roe deer are worth 1 point. And Goblin gets 2 points. Orcs score 4 points. And, although it may be unlikely, higher-level entities or giant entities, such as trolls, can gain up to 12 points.”
“yes!”
Some of the academy’s cadets listened to their teacher’s explanation at the entrance to the forest.
Not all of the thousands of cadets can enter the forest.
Therefore, the test takes a total of 20 teams into the forest five times a day over three days.
A team can range from as few as 3 to as many as 10 people.
Before taking the test, you submit documents containing your team members to them, and they gather the teams and distribute them appropriately.
All teams hunt, score points, and are ranked in order of scoring more points.
The next grade’s class will vary depending on the ranking of the two tests.
That’s why all the cadets gritted their teeth and hunted creatures in the forest to do well on the exam.
The team that included me and Selina Mahol Reyna was last in line on the last day.
As if someone had planned it, there were exactly five more teams besides our team.
The number is far less than when there were 20 teams.
However, the number of cadets could not be exactly the same.
I didn’t pay much attention.
“There are examiners on standby inside at all times, so if a dangerous situation arises, all you have to do is set off this signal. Then the testers nearby will help you. Do you understand?”
“yes!”
“Then all of Team B enter!”
“enter!”
As soon as the examiner finished speaking, the cadets around him ran into the forest as if someone was chasing them from behind.
‘It’s not like you can catch much if you go in that early.’
I didn’t understand their urgency, so I watched them quietly.
“Aren’t you guys going in?”
“I’m going in.”
The examiner looked at me and said.
He was not a teacher at the academy, but an auditor from the royal family.
Auditors became the examiners for this test, judging that the teachers could not be trusted due to the vice principal’s work.
It has nothing to do with me.
In fact, you can be happy that they will measure more accurately.
“Let’s go in.”
He swept down the handle of his sword and looked back at his teammates.
***
It would have been normal for the forest to be crowded with monsters.
It was difficult to find the monsters since Team A had already swept them once.
And this situation was already expected.
No matter how many monsters come down from the mountains, there is a limit to that.
Since we had already been swept away once, we had to go further in to find the monsters.
However, the range allowed to us was limited to the forest.
To go any further, the consent of the team members was required.
The place I’m going to is a mountain range, and there are more monsters in that mountain range than the monsters that came down to the forest.
So going inside was like suicide.
That’s why most people didn’t go inside.
‘There’s no need to take risks.’
To be honest, most monsters couldn’t harm our team.
I alone have a track record of hunting down Orc Warriors, and there are also Mahol, who is skilled at assassination, and Selina, who is said to have similar talents to me.
In order for us to be dangerous, we had to have high-level monsters like trolls or ogres.
The reason why I don’t go inside even though I know that.
‘There is a troll at the center of the mountain range.’
This is because there was a troll inside it, sleeping for a long time like a dragon.
No matter how confident you are, trolls are difficult to deal with.
Even the protagonist was on the verge of life and death when dealing with the Troll King.
My goal is to survive, but there was no need to go out of my way to get some points.
You just have to hunt just enough to reveal yourself.
“Let’s go over there.”
And even if you don’t have to go into the mountains, there are places where there are monsters.
For example, a cave or a place full of trees so there are many places to hide.
“There it is.”
When I arrived at a place where the bushes were thick enough to block my view, I pointed to a place to my teammates.
“It’s a goblin.”
Selina said what I pointed to in a calm tone.
Goblin.
Worth 2 points.
A monster that is not dangerous as a single entity, but becomes threatening when its numbers increase.
I saw seven of them huddled together in the middle of the tree over there.
He must have just recently hunted a rabbit, and was shaking the half-cut body of the rabbit back and forth.
The blood splattered from the rabbit’s corpse dyed the surrounding area red.
“Ugh…!”
Raina nauseated at the sight.
Not only did I see a goblin for the first time, but I also saw a rabbit being torn to pieces.
Just not throwing up right away could be seen as a good thing.
“….”
However, I was slightly surprised by Mahol’s reaction, which was different from hers.
Although it was probably the first time he had seen the scattered flesh and blood, he was closely observing the appearance and movements of the goblins without any movement on his face.
At the same time, he wiggled the fingers holding the dagger.
‘Is this called talent?’
Mahol was looking at the goblin and thinking of the optimal plan, wondering where to aim to kill him at once.
As I watched it, I thought again that I must be talented.
“Then who will go first? “One person has to protect Raina, so let’s only have two people move.”
Selina and Mahol looked at each other in turn at my words.
“We will do it.”
“Oh, do you want to? “Do you want to do that too?”
“yes.”
Mahol nodded.
To be honest, I also want to hunt.
okay. It’s not a bad idea to experience it once.
Plus, Selina already has a history of hunting during banquets.
I thought it was better to give in now.
I had to take care of Raina, and seeing Mahol so excited, it was a bit difficult to just tell him to wait quietly.
“Then let me ask you a favor.”
“yes.”
He looked at Selina and said.
In the sense of taking care of Mahol, who has no hunting experience yet.
She recognized my intention, nodded, and cautiously approached the goblins with Mahol.
I watched it with Rayna from a distance.
“If it’s too hard, you can close your eyes.”
He sat down on a rock and said to her.
But even though she was nauseous, she said she would look.
Her brother is having a hard time, so why not do this at least?
His heart was so wonderful that I didn’t bother to stop him.
And since I would often experience this kind of thing in my life, it wasn’t a bad idea to practice in advance.
Kieeeeek!
At that time, a goblin’s cries were heard.
While I was looking away for a moment, Selina was among the goblins.
Mahol had disappeared and was nowhere to be seen.
I rolled my eyes looking for him, and found Mahol hanging on a tree branch above the goblins’ heads, targeting the goblins.
It’s amazing how long it got there.
Wow!
Selina’s sword cut off the goblin’s head.
When the goblin attacked from behind, I turned around and swung my sword in a straight line, cutting off the goblin’s arm.
Seeing this, my skills have definitely improved a lot.
The feeling itself was different from when I saw it at Count Warrug’s house.
Smooth and sharp.
okay. It was like watching a jaguar with beautiful movements.
But no matter how strong he became, he couldn’t be flawless.
She didn’t notice the goblin’s attack coming into her corner.
A goblin holding a sharp bamboo spear stabbed her in the side.
Kieeeee…!
The head of the screaming goblin fell to the ground.
It was a face that didn’t even recognize that it was dead.
The bamboo spear, hand, and arm that had been aimed at Selina’s side were broken into pieces as if they were being ground in a shredder and fell to the ground.
“thank you.”
“no.”
Mahol climbed up the tree again and took out the goblin targeting her blind spot.
Goblins have a hard time behaving when large groups of them gather together, so even knights have a hard time with them.
Now he died without even being able to resist properly.
Kieeeeek!
However, it wasn’t like he could run away.
Selina’s sword did not allow the bastards to escape.
When they tried to run away, they chased after them until the end and blocked their path, and Mahol cut off their ankles.
Through sparring with me, the combination was properly aligned.
Maybe that’s why he performed quite well against goblins.
1 hour like that? After maybe half an hour, there were no more goblins standing on the ground.
“Thank you for your hard work. “You did a good job too.”
“thank you.”
“Lady Selina did it all. “I just assisted.”
Mahol was humbled by my words.
Selina smiles softly at that. It seemed like we had become a lot closer in that short period of time.
After all, kids become friends while fighting, right?
When you feel happy looking at that.
Wow!
A loud roar was heard that echoed throughout the forest.
At that sound, the friendly atmosphere darkened.
“Just now…”
That sound was very familiar.
A sound I had heard before at a banquet.
I looked at Selina and saw that she was also looking at me with a serious expression on her face.
And soon, the screams of cadets could be heard from all directions.
I hate poetry!
help me!
Aaaaaaaaaah!
Boom boom boom!
Along with the screams, the sky was filled with black flares.
Thump thump thump!
And something came running this way.
The trees around them crumbled, revealing something huge and green.
“Ha… I’m going to spin.”
It was an orc.
An orc whose physique is twice as large as before, like a bodybuilder who took drugs.
An orc holding an ax as big as its body looked around, saw this direction, and let out a scream.
Seeing his red eyes reminded me of Kaham.
The orcs’ reaction to the stimulant at that time was exactly like this.
‘I guess I smelled blood.’
The smell of goblin blood.
He came after smelling that smell. The cadets we met on the way were attacked and screamed.
“I will deal with that.”
Great.
My chest was already tight, as if I was suffering from frustration.
I thought that that orc would satisfy my desires.
“Are you going to be okay?”
“it’s okay. So, please protect Raina.”
“…All right.”
I drew my sword.
And slowly approached the orc.
Wow!
The orc screamed and rushed at me.
I started to walk slowly and quickly and ran forward in the same manner.
Quaaaang!
The orc’s ax and my sword clashed, making a loud noise.
