54 Episode 42 I think I'm in the exam for some reason.

One week after the preparation period, it is finally the day of the fourth promotion exam. In the meantime, I was equipped, enlightened, and learned a new way to use the gram.

I enjoyed Kenai's boobs last night, and I was in a good mood.

No, it's too much. Isn't he about eight minutes healthy?

Enough energy! I'll cover it with some fatigue!

Yes, yes. I often say I like heroic colors, but my partner is good at targeting women without leaking them into the example. It's already heroic. "

Will you stop calling me a pussy? It's too bad to hear. No, nobody's gonna hear you.

It's a light joke to relax my partner. I'm not taking it seriously... no, seriously. "

Excuse me?

Bethnnnnnnnnn. Besides, if you're looking at a weapon, they'll see you with weird eyes. "

Who the hell do you think it is?

I glanced at the spear (gram) that I was holding and then looked around me.

I am now in the carriage that left King's Landing.

I'm riding with a Class 5 mercenary, and I'm taking the next promotion exam to Class 4.

Some people have stiff expressions of tension, others are sleepy, and there is no spare time for equipment inspections. However, everyone has the "sword" as the main armor for the difference in size, and the equipment that is not the "sword" is as good as mine.

A spear is as unpopular as a hero's weapon.

"Leave me alone."

Just as I was throwing my gaze around, my eyes were flickering at me.

There was no rumor of a crusade against the Covolt King. Still, rumors are spreading that there was going to be an evil beast runaway (Stampede) and that I was involved in solving it. That's probably the reason.

The fact that you are using 'Spear' means that a Class 5 Mercenary can gain a broken kung fu. Together, they gathered more suspicious and vigilant eyes than ever before.

Heroes attract curious eyes, good or bad, at the beginning of their life. Try this for a while, because you'll be dyed with envy. "

He said he didn't want to be born that far. I wish I could earn enough to live freely with Cunei. You agreed to that.

It's my job to help my partner's wishes. Well, I don't know what happens tomorrow. It's all up to you.

After I glanced at the cloudy gram in vague terms, I took my portable food out of my pocket and threw it into my mouth. Specially formulated by Cunei, it condenses the nutrients needed for\ 36528; and absorbs quickly.

A little bitter taste spreads to the mouth, but it seems like you can feel more of Cunei's thoughts. I feel even more energetic. Gram's words bothered me, but now I'm focusing on the exam in front of me.

There's another carriage ahead of us. There are officers dispatched from the union and second-class mercenaries with supervisors on board.

The contents of the test are the hunting of the Ugly Beast designated by the Union. The carriage carrying us was heading to the area where the beast lives.

Now, the key designated beast, but it hasn't been revealed yet.

The primary objective of this study is to determine the ability to respond to unforeseen situations. When you encounter an evil beast other than the target you are aiming for and develop into battle, you remain engaged in mercenary activities. As a result, the mercenaries taking the exam were not informed of the target until they arrived on site.

However, since the information on where we're going will be made public at the time the exam is announced, they should be dealing with the beasts that live there. Of course, I was prepared for it.

Then, some time after he left King's Landing, he arrived at his destination.

After arriving at their destination, the examinees, including me, who got off the carriage, were summoned by the supervisor's second-class mercenary and were briefed.

"Now I will take the promotion exam to the fourth grade. This test involves cleaning the head of the dog."

As soon as they heard the name of the target, the Grade 5 mercenaries frowned.

Originally, the Inuman (Covolt) was ranked Five. Considering the contents of the promotion examination to the fourth grade, it is clearly lacking. I mean, I usually crush Cobolt in the woods near King's Landing. I can't deny it now.

However, one condition was added to this test.

"Thirty per target."

I ran upset this time. I was surprised, too.

There are eight mercenaries, including me, who will take the exam. Simply think of it as 30x8, a total of 240. No matter how little we estimate, we'll definitely crush a hundred.

"There are only a few, and it's also ants who make allies (teams) with multiple people. Of course, I need you to crush the covolt for the number of people you've teamed up with. Return here when you have exceeded your target (norm) and submit your Enemy Site to the Alliance for report. And of course, you can hunt even more than your target of 30. Those who achieve the goal will be rewarded by the union according to the number of clashes."

Gram, maybe this is him.

It also cleans up the Urban Beast Runaway (Stampede). Efficiency isn't so bad. Besides, the rewards for the stand-alone crusade of the Dog Head Man (Covolt) are not that high. Perhaps there aren't many mercenaries trying to help us clean up the Kobolt. "

According to Karan, not only the mercenary union, but also the army have been dispatched to reduce the number of dogheads (covolts) that have increased in the Unbeast runaway (Stampede), but they have not caught up. After all, mercenaries dominate the canine head (Covolt) sweep. But those mercenaries don't like it. Then that's what I'd say if I used the promotion exam as an excuse.

This is certainly enough for a promotion exam to the fourth grade. Considering the strength of the fifth class, the crusade against the 30 Inu-heads (Covolt) is a long shot. It's not just that you have to fight helplessly.

The Fifth Class mercenaries look different. Did you feel ashamed of yourself who thought it was an "easy win" for a moment, or did you get more nervous on the contrary? Everyone has a tight expression.

Nevertheless, I'm a little more comfortable than the others.

Earlier, I was surrounded by about ten times as many dogheads (covolts) as 30. But don't be alarmed. My current partner will probably be able to do it without any problems, but that doesn't make any sense. "

I didn't have to be told by Gram, but I still switched my mind to the other person's words.

First pass this test. Otherwise, I don't want to be promoted to the third class of mercenaries, which is my goal - and hence a stable life with Cunai.

However, I was concerned about coming to the exam.

"Each of you should have been supplied with magic equipment by the union beforehand."

I took out a sphere that fits in my hand from a handbag on my waist that houses tools.

"If it becomes impossible to continue the exam, or something unforeseen happens that you cannot handle on your own, hit him on the ground. When cracked, colored wolf smoke is launched into the sky, and a strong sound is generated at the same time. As soon as our supervisor sees the noise and smoke, he'll be on the scene."

Say so, I see a secondary mercenary standing next to him.

The mercenary with silver-haired fox ears opened his mouth when he stepped forward.

"I'm a secondary mercenary lizard. It would be better to say" Silver Flash "to you."

That's what Mikage said and smiled at us.

"If anything happens, I'll go to the scene. Please do your best not to take care of me."

Why are you here? I put it in my heart.

Ten to eighty-nine, you'll be chasing your partner.

Gram, don't bother putting me in there.

"Of course, if you use an emergency magic tool, you'll be disqualified from the exam, but don't hesitate to say so. If he's alive, he can take the exam again, but if he dies in disgrace, it won't be until then."

It is the mercenary's rule to take advantage of it. Everyone nods at the words of the second class mercenary.

"And external collaborators are taking a special part in this exam."

Now he turned to the carriage, which was a little far away. This is the carriage that he and Mikage, the second-class mercenaries, came aboard.

"─ ─ ─ ─ Heh!?

I was shouting out loud. [M] But the mercenaries around me never glanced at me, and I was blinded by the appearance of that person.

The man who opened the carriage door and came down was Kenai in white.

"She's Cunei. I'm a good doctor. I am also familiar with healing magic and can deal adequately with your injuries. Remain vigilant and do your best to come to the exam. And don't try to hurt her."

Kenai waved at me with a smile.

Why do you think she's cute? That question filled my head.
