Volume 3 - CH 3

Before the happy summer vacation, there is an exam waiting for the students.

That's right, pre-vacation exams.

A written exam for the academic subjects and a practical exam for the practical skills .

If the students do not perform well in these three-day exams, they will not be able to move on to the next year's class, and in the near future, their summer vacation plans will be greatly affected by make-up classes .

The students gradually begin to experience a heavy atmosphere more than 10 days before the exam, and their tiredness and nervousness reach their peak the day before the exam.

Just before the peak, a few days before the exam, a tired-looking Morgen was in the classroom.

A tired-looking Morgen is encouraging an equally tired-looking Almark.

"Listen, Almark. This exam is very important. You must never, get a make-up grade so that you can go to Wendy's house for the summer vacation.”

“ even though you say so."

Almark's face was a little pale.

"I don't mind the other subjects, but the magic practice. ......"

"I'm sure you'll be fine. You can do magic with your spirit, Almark. Magic is all about spirit!"

As he was receiving the wonderfully practical advice from Morgen, Leila passed by him.

Almark was surprised to see that her face was cool as usual and she did not look tired at all, so he called out to her.

Leila, you don't look tired at all, even though it's just before the exam."

Leila stopped and glanced at Almark with cold eyes.

'I remember everything I need to ...... in class. Don't you too ?"

'It's hard ...... to remember everything."

'Then I guess it's no wonder you're tired."

Nothing can be done about it. Leila left with a cold glance.

“I'm impressed. Leila said she could memorize everything in class.”

When Almark looked back at Morgen, Morgen shook his head with a pale face.

It''s not amazing," Stop it, Almark. Don't talk to Leila out of the blue .You're giving me a heart attack."

"What? Why?"

"Because she scares me."

"I don't think so. ......"

He felt that she unsociable, but not scared. Almark twisted his head.

"I'm sure Leila must have done very well on her exams, right?"

He asked, and Morgen nodded,

"In the last exam of the second year, Wallis came in first, Wendy fourth, and Leila fifth.

That's great, isn't the second group excellent?"

"Well, yeah. I was fourth from the bottom".

Almark frowned at Mogen's words.

I think you're the one who's in danger of losing your make-up class," he said.

“That's rude. I was fourth from the bottom, but I didn't have to take a single make-up class. Nelson was ranked higher than me, but he had to make up two subjects."

Morgen said proudly.

It's like the magic tricks of the wind, you fly low and never crash.

"I will remember it "

(We may not make it to Wendy's mansion.)

Almark had such feeling.

Wendy really helped Almark to study for the exam.

It was the first time in his life that he had ever studied for an exam.

He had no idea how to do it, so she was there for him and helped him with his studies.

Almark felt bad about it, but Wendy didn't show any signs of disapproval, saying it was good for her own studies, and even told him to tell her if she was bothering him.

The only things Almark could teach her were a few tricks from his martial arts class and some additional knowledge about monsters that he had briefly touched on in biology.

It seems that classes on monsters don't really start in earnest until the middle grades, and there was nothing else that Almark could really teach Wendy.

Looking at Wendy's beautiful lashes as she answered Almark's questions with ease, all Almark could think about was what he could do for her.
