252 Episode 251 New Encounters?

"You will take the exam before you are temporarily admitted."

We thought that we had decided to enroll temporarily in the Magic School, but there was a wait from the school principal.

"You're the one who asked me to enroll in the exam?"

Somehow, Mina's eyes became sharp.

"Oh, that being said, this is not an admissions test. It's a test for choosing the class you belong to."

"... ahh, that's how it is."

Mina is convinced by the school principal's words.

Yeah, I know that because I've heard similar stories in my previous life.

"Hey, Osan, what do you mean by choosing a class?"

However, Gyro-kun and the others seemed to be confused and bent their necks.

"Various students are attending this school to learn magic. But not all students get the same classes in the same classroom."

"Why not?" Isn't it faster to summarize and teach? In my village, everyone gathered at the church to learn from the priest's grandfather. "

Well, that's how you were taught to study, Gyro.

“Oh, I wish we could all learn at the same pace, but I don't think so.”

Oh, is that so?

"Convinced."

If you ask me, that's right.

Liliella and the other students were convinced by the school principal's words.

But Gyro you still don't seem to understand, and you're still leaning your neck.

Is it better to send out a rescue boat?

"Gyro-kun, if someone who has never held a sword and practiced sword gestures every day becomes a disciple of the master of swords on the same day, which one will be stronger first?"

"That's the guy who practices his sword every day, right?" If you've been practicing from the beginning, you'll be able to keep up with the tough training. "

"Yeah, I guess this exam is the same." People who have learned the basics of magic beforehand and people who study magic for the first time will learn the difference quickly. The principal likewise wants to see how much magic we all understand. And when I know what I can do, I'm going to introduce you to a teacher who matches each one of them. "

"Oh, that's right!" Alright, aniki!! "

Gyro, who understood my explanation, will put his thumb up.

"In other words, this is a test to separate you."

"What!? Am I stupid?!"

Oh, no? Well, then, why don't we try studying magic theory again?

"... it's okay to be stupid."

When I thought that the quarrel was about to start, Mina-san was lightly raised to the ranks.

Is that why you hate studying magic so much, Gyro-kun.....

Absolutely, even if you don't want to do such a thing, if you're Mina, you can be sure of A-Class.

While everyone agreed, Mr. Nagibelt shouted unhappily.

"That's not how it works." Considering that you are your grandson, the fact that you have officially taken the examination will also help you to protect yourself. "

Do taking the exam leads to defending yourself?

What the hell does that mean?

"Then let's go to the examination venue." Whatever test you say, just look at your magic skills and you'll be done with it. "

Then the principal got up and told him that he would guide us to the examination hall.

Um, does the exam end that easily?

As I follow the headmaster ahead, I ask a question. [M]

"Oh, I'm just going to use the magic that the school has prepared for me." We will classify the students by looking at the accuracy of the magic. "

Huh? Is that all?

Is it just attack magic? How do you judge healing magic, defensive magic, and magicians specialized in research? Also, are there any written exams that seek to enchant your knowledge? "

"No, because healing magic is a specialty of the church, I won't come." And the important thing for the school was that they were wizards who could fight. Defensive magic is not important. "

Defensive magic isn't important, is it?

That's another very biased educational policy.

A normal magic education institution should be able to use both attack and defense in a balanced way.

The students of the School of Magic, who were temporarily forced to act together in their previous lives, were also brought up in a balanced manner without special abilities.

The school first learns all kinds of magic with the meaning of confirming the suitability of the students.

And when you see what you're good at, you talk to your students and decide whether you want to build on their strengths or bridge their weaknesses.

However, in order to advance and graduate, I had to clear the minimum level even if I was not good at magic.

That's why graduated students have some skill in any kind of magic.

Then, students who wanted to develop their talents more become enrolled in a specialized magic school that teaches magic techniques that suit their aptitudes.

However, this school did not conduct such a balanced education, and it seemed to be a policy to cultivate specialized students from the beginning.

Did the world's educational policy change while I was dead?

Oh, I see.

All right. The school director's exam is exactly what this era's educational policy is all about.

In other words, this school concentrates on teaching attack magic from a young age, so students who want to learn anything other than attack magic should go to a school that specializes in teaching other magic.

Perhaps all of the schools in the current era are technical colleges that provide specialized education.

And just like this school specializes in attack magic education, other schools will teach only the magic of each attribute.

"If you're not good at it, you can cut it off from the beginning and learn only highly qualified technology thoroughly." It's a time of partitioned styles, isn't it? "

◆

The examination venue, which had been guided by the principal, was full of people.

"Wow, amazing people"

"What do you mean? Didn't we come to take the exam? Why are there so many people here?"

Yeah, I was surprised too.

Why are there so many people here to take the test?

Ah, is it customary for this school to take exams in front of a crowd?

I wanted to be able to use magic calmly in any situation.

"What? What is this about!? Why are students gathered in the examination hall!?"

Thinking of it, the principal who brought us was also surprised by this scene.

Isn't the headmaster bringing these people together?

"Principal, what is this all about?" We're going to take the test here, right? "

I should have come to take the examination, but for some reason the venue was full of people.

Confused by this, Mina asked the principal what was going on.

"No, no, that doesn't mean anything to me either..."

However, it seemed that the principal did not know the situation, and it was just mixed up.

Hey, it's been a while, Mina-kun

!?

At that time, the voice of a young man echoed in the examination room.

Ah, this wind magic makes it easier for your voice to pass through.

And there comes a man from the crowd.

No, I don't think it's that different from us in terms of age.

Dressed in tailored clothes, he feels like a young man who has grown up, but still hasn't lost his boyish qualities.

His eyes turned towards Mina, not us.

"You..."

"Fufu, I heard there was an unusual out-of-season entrance exam, but I didn't think it was you."

Apparently, he was an acquaintance of Mina-san and spoke to her in a friendly manner.

"However, I didn't expect you to come to school now." I was so afraid of losing to me that I thought I'd just run away from the exam. "

Mr. Mina ran away? What the hell does that mean?

It's a little different from the image of Mina, who I know is a strong loser.....

……

"Hey, Mina, do you know her?"

Gyro, you're nearby, you talk to Mina, but she seems to be thinking of something, and she doesn't answer the questions?

"What the hell have you been doing?" Oh, I see. You were the old school principal's grandson. I wonder if you've been studying in the Mansion with a good wizard teacher? And now you've got enough strength to pass the test, and you're willing to take the test, right? Oh my, it's already been a year since we've enrolled!? "

His words were heard giggling and laughing from the students around him.

Well, you must be the same age as us to enroll in school by now.

"Oh, oh, I wonder if you can come to the school class with such a bad feeling?"

"Don't say that." When you come to take the test, you have the minimum magic power, right? "

But that's why they're so cute when they're in the lowest ranking class.

It seems that we are not welcome, and we can throw stinging words.

Hmm, but I've heard a lot of lines in my previous life and all over the world.

He's the usual one to hold back new recruits who've come into our own territory.

It's best to show off your prowess at such a time without riding on the opponent's taunt.

Because they're trying to provoke us and show us what they're capable of.

And if you show your strength, you will accept and welcome us as if nothing had happened.

You're pretty good at this, aren't you?

But this kind of baptism for newcomers doesn't change even if the times change.

I mean, they don't have a bad atmosphere, do they?

Unaware of their intentions, Gyro-kun was frustrated by their behavior. [M]

I can't help it, I was insulted by my companions when it came to acting.

However, while insulted, Mina-san remained silent.

"What's the matter, Mina-san?" Shut up for a second. I don't think so, but is it awkward to resume with me? "

"... hey"

and for the first time Mina spoke up.

"Oh, you finally responded with a voice." Now, where have you been all this time..... "

He speaks to Mina with a sniffy smile.

But Mina-san's words froze her smile.

Who are you again?

"...... What about you?"

"" "" "" "Eh?" "" ""

Isn't he Mina's acquaintance?

"Hmm? You don't know Mina, do you?"

Gyro-kun asks Mina if she thought the same thing.

"I can't remember that at all." I feel like I've seen it somewhere, and I don't know it at all... hey, who are you? "

"... hah, haaaaaaaaaaaa!?"

With Mina's relentless words, the young man's cries resounded in the examination hall.

Yep, Don Mai.....
