All Power Wizard Part 2 Side Story
Episode 005
A professor who teaches a basic subject called ‘Mana Flow’ to first-year freshmen.
And, the examiner who reviews the first test, Red.
Philia.
Having watched new students at the academy for 30 years, she was the best expert at identifying talented young wizards.
“It seems like you can feel mana? yes?”
” yes.”
“But, I don’t have enough power to draw out the collected mana. “If you learn a little, you might be able to reach the red ball.”
“Am I eliminated?”
“no. Well done. “I’ll give you 5 points.”
9 years old.
At this age, you can say you have a talent for magic just by feeling mana.
Collect the felt mana,
As long as you implement it, passing the entrance exam is almost certain… … .
The moment you move the red ball even 1 mm, you are considered a ‘genius’.
These geniuses make up less than 30 of the 4,111 applicants from all over the continent.
About 20 years ago now… … .
An unprecedented genius who felt mana for the first time at the age of 6, already realized magic at the age of 7, and even cast class 1 magic at the age of 9.
Unless you are Ruin Ardel, the top owner, you will not be able to perform better than this to the applicants.
It is unreasonable to expect.
Naturally, the exam was bound to be boring, and the examiner, Philia, felt drowsy due to the relatively monotonous examination.
“Haam… … ! Next, let’s see… … . Number B-77?”
“Ah yes!”
A small boy came up to the stage.
Let’s look at his dark black hair, blue eyes, and quite handsome face.
Academy’s pride, Ruin Ardel, rises
It went up, but… … .
That was just for a moment.
‘Well, it just feels similar.’
Looking at the boy who was quite nervous, he did not show much interest.
Just like with any other applicant, I just throw in one word.
“If you’re ready, shall we get started?”
“yes.”
At most, I can feel mana.
5 points just for feeling it.
8 points if collection and implementation are successful.
If you succeed in moving even 1 mm, you get 10 points.
however.
Clink!
“..2”
If Red, the red ball, flew like an arrow and broke the window on the other side.
What grade should I give it?
“W-what… …
The examiner, Philia, foolishly wondered what score she should give to this embarrassing test.
And, when I barely remembered that the maximum perfect score for this test was 10, I screamed with excitement.
“Ten points! “A perfect score of 10!”
* ♦ ♦
The audience became quiet as if cold water had been poured on them.
Everyone’s eyes were on me, and they were all asking questions with puzzled expressions.
“What, what, just now?”
“… … “Did Red break the window and fall through?”
“Wow, that’s ridiculous. “You didn’t throw it with your hand?”
“you stupid! Red doesn’t react to any physical force! “Don’t you know that you can never move without mana?”
“Oh, you know… … . By the way, can you believe that a 9-year-old shot Red with mana?”
Who are you?
The person who was most embarrassed seemed to be the examiner, who had seen this test with his own eyes from beginning to end.
“Black hair, blue eyes… … . My first prediction was correct. You too… … ?”
The name written on the nametag is Professor Philia.
She seemed to be guessing about my identity, and I shrugged my shoulders and said to the professor.
“They say the examiner doesn’t ask applicants for any information… … . Should I answer that question?”
” ah.”
The professor suddenly shook his head in surprise, as if he had been hit in the back of the head with a blunt object.
“Oh, no. You don’t have to say it. Sorry, I’m too surprised, so stop… …
“no. Thank you for the perfect score. then.”
“Now, just a moment… … !”
“yes?”
“Thank you. For applying to our academy… …
I actually feel more motivated to be able to apply to the place where my dad used to go.
It’s an honor.
I swallowed those words and just smiled sheepishly.

Evan Ardel.
Only two people at the academy knew that he, the son of the tower owner, was taking the entrance exam at this school.
Dean Tyrion Ignit.
And, Professor Heidel became Vice Dean.
They watched Evan Ardel’s first entrance exam from afar… … .
“… … “Did you just see it?”
“It’s hard to believe it even when you see it with your own eyes.”
Even though I already knew that Evan had overwhelming talent, I couldn’t calm down easily.
This is true for people who knew, but what about people who didn’t know?
Most professors came to the dean’s office, and everyone was shocked.
“Did the Dean know?”
“Yes, I heard it from the tower owner. Don’t be too upset. “I also found out about it very recently.”
“No, that’s not the problem… … . Didn’t you see the mana wave that Evan Ardel showed? It’s not just about magic. “It’s already well above the average for the graduating class.”
“you’re right. This is an introduction to at least 4 classes. “How about not allowing admission?”
” yes?”
“There are many students in the graduating class who did not make it to class 4. But 9
A 4-year-old child is in class 4… … . “How are you going to deal with such a monster?”
“That makes sense. We can’t make children who are talented enough to run take the same classes as toddlers. To be honest, I am not confident. “How should I teach such a monster?”
It is so surprising that some even suggested that it would be better to ban admission.
“Hmm.”
Dean Tyrion said, “The meaning of those professors is
I was able to fully understand the point.
The difference in level between the crawling freshmen and the flying Evan Ardel is too big.
And, it’s burdensome.
The level of professors is at most 6 classes.
Putting aside the personal aspect of being the tower owner’s son, who would be willing to teach a genius wizard who entered class 4 at the age of 9?
They may catch up to their skills within a year or two.
Dean Tyrion stroked his beard.
I nodded.
“I fully understand what the professors mean, but we cannot deny admission for that reason. “There are issues with fairness.”
“no. “If we pass Evan Ardel, there will be problems with the fairness of other students.”
“Individual talent issues are up to them to handle. “The entrance exam is conducted through a fair process, and no preferential treatment or disadvantages can be given.”
okay.
However, denying admission means
This is ridiculous.
There were other opinions as well.
“How about having them skip a grade instead?”
“oh
“Skipping a grade, isn’t that bad?”
“yes. That’s too young to transfer to a senior year, so how about 5th grade? Even at that level, I think it would be top class.”
Although grade skipping to enroll students in higher grades was dominant, Dean Tyrion shook his head.
“Skipping a grade is also difficult.”
” yes?”
“This is something that has never happened before in the history of the Academy. Of course, we can make an exception for this incident and introduce a grade skipping system… … . “Parents don’t want it.”
“If you are a parent… … . “Are you talking about the owner of the tower?”
“yes. “I want Evan to have a normal academy life starting from his first year.”
“yes? why? Isn’t skipping a grade not a bad thing from the perspective of the top owners? 6 years reduced to 2 years
Celebration is work. The sooner Evan graduates, the better it will be for Magic Tower… …
“I want Evan to make friends and have fun at the academy like other kids his age. “Ordinarily.”
“common? A child who is already far from a normal life… … . Normally? “Hey, I don’t know what Topju’s thoughts are.”
“For now, just wait a little longer. “There are still a lot of exams left, right?”
The meeting ended without any conclusion being reached.
The probability of that happening is very slim, but
Van Ardel’s capabilities may be less than what he showed today.
This is because you may make unexpected mistakes in other tests.
All we can do right now is wait and see.
“I’m a little excited to see how great you will be in the next test.”
“I am against it. The dean said we should keep an eye on it, so we’ll just keep an eye on it a little longer… … . I’m worried. “This is the relative sense of deprivation that ordinary students will feel.”
“Oh, I see.”
“Maybe some students will give up enrolling because of Evan Ardel. “The senior has already been decided.”
How will students accept this wonderful genius?
Professors were most worried about this part.

“Why is your face red?”
“Nuh, I like being noticed by someone.
“Because I’m not the type to do it.”
“Yes’? “You didn’t think you could do something like that in front of 4,000 people and not get noticed, right?”
That’s not what you’re doing, princess.
I just did my best on the test.
However, what she said was true.
The moment I walked, everyone made way to avoid me, like the sea splitting into two sides.
Without exaggeration, 4,000 people
The eyes of many people were intensely focused on me.
“Who, who is it?”
“Could that guy be ‘Evan Ardel’?”
“no. It looks a lot stronger than rumored? “There are times when rumors are inflated, but are there times when they are downsized?”
“But, if you’re not Evan Ardel, it’s a skill that makes no sense… …
They were all curious about my identity, but no one spoke to me directly.
We could only watch and whisper from afar, as if there was an invisible barrier between us.
I lowered my head in gloom.
“I feel like a monkey at the zoo.”
“That’s the light Evan has. A talent that everyone looks at as special. So, have confidence.”
“that is… … . I have never once thought of myself as special. Both mom and dad. She hid it. But, I think I understand why you hid it. Everyone reacts like this
If I knew this would happen, I would have been a little cautious… …
The reason he didn’t want to be found out that he was the tower owner’s son was because he was afraid it would tarnish his parents’ faces.
This is a completely different reason, but if I really knew it would attract this much attention, I would have kept my skills hidden.
Ah, I suddenly got excited… … .
Then the princess patted my shoulder as if I had done well.
“If you hadn’t planned on hiding your skills during the six years you attended the academy, you would have done better.”
“… … “Is that really true?”
“Evan Ardel is strong, because he made it clear to people. At least now, those half-baked guys won’t even think of attacking Evan.”
What she said is true.
In the eyes of some of the applicants my age, I could see fear beyond awe.
The more it happened, the more depressed I became.
Just plain… … .
I want to become friends with everyone.
Already, it feels like a wall has formed.
It was then.
“hey!”
“.2”
Someone crossed the wall and spoke to me.
