All Power Wizard Part 2 Side Story
Episode 003
“Is this all you have a plan for, Captain?”
“That’s all? “I wanted to eat this so much.”
I heard it from my dad.
The chicken soup served for Friday breakfast at the Academy restaurant is said to be one of the specialty dishes.
That said, there is a bit of exaggeration mixed in.
didn’t
Because it was as good as our Nanny Vanelli’s grandmother’s meal.
I hurriedly shoveled the chicken soup into my mouth, and Uncle Jason smiled as if it wasn’t that bad.
“Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I ate. “I really liked it when I was at the academy.”
“Mumbling… … . “I heard my dad liked it too.”
“That’s right. Not only Ruin but all the students liked it. “I never thought I would eat this again after almost 15 years.”
“Mumbling… … . cool. Eating together with magic students… … . “I feel like I’m also a student at the academy.”
“I guess it is now. But just wait a year. “I might get so sick of it that I don’t even want to look at it.”
“I don’t think so. Academy, it’s already getting better.”
“You must be young. Still, it’s been a while since I’ve been outing, and I thought there was something special planned… … . The only plan is to eat at the school cafeteria. “Kim Sanda, Kim Sae.”
“Could you please stop complaining?”
“Oh, yeah. “Captain.”
After finishing our meal, we moved to the main auditorium where the first test site was scheduled.
In the main auditorium, seniors who appeared to be in the 4th or 5th grade were wearing cool academy uniforms and guiding the applicants…
“wow•… ”
An exclamation of admiration escaped me at the wonderful sight.
If you’re a wizard, you can’t do anything in Deltagon.
I saw this too, but why does the academy uniform look cooler than the wizard’s top robe?
” The name?”
“Oh, my name is Erban from Monzo. “This is my uncle.”
“Yes, I see. Ervan from Monzo, Ervan… …
When I took out the fake ID I had prepared in advance, my senior checked the list.
gulp.
I don’t know if something goes wrong
I waited anxiously, worried that something might happen.
But contrary to my anxiety, the senior nodded as if there was no problem.
“Okay, confirmed. here. “Just put this name tag around your neck, go into the auditorium, and go to group B.”
“Okay, thank you.”
It seems like Mom and Dad talked about it well in advance.
The name tag said ‘Ervan B-77’, so it looks like my turn was the 77th.
As I entered the main auditorium, it was overflowing with kids of the same age as me who had come to take the academy entrance exam.
“wow! “There are so many people.”
“Uh, so… …
Uncle Jason also couldn’t hide his bewildered expression, as if he was quite surprised.
“Why are there so many applicants this year? Even when I was taking the entrance exam, out of 310 people taking the exam, 300 passed.”
“yes? “It doesn’t make sense.”
“No, really. “I remember it exactly because I ranked 299th.”
“No way… … . At first glance, the number of applicants this year seems to be just over 3,000, right?”
It wasn’t an exaggeration.
I am number 77 in group B, but an applicant wearing number 174 in group B was also passing in front of me.
“The competition must be very tight, right? I heard that it was the weakest among magic schools, but is gradually becoming a prestigious one. I didn’t think it would be like this
At first glance, the minimum competition rate is 10.
It is 1.
When I saw that the competition rate was much higher than I expected, anxiety began to sprout from a corner of my heart.
“uncle… … . “I won’t fall, right?”
Just like my dad and mom, my goal was to enter the school as a representative for freshmen… … .
If it doesn’t work out at all, what should I do?
In response to my question, Uncle Jason spoke with a slightly stern look on his face.
“Yeah, I don’t think so.”
” yes?”
“It’s a fight to see how far you can widen the gap with second place, but I’m sure you’ll get there, so don’t worry too much.”
You don’t even know how I feel, but you only give nice compliments.
But now, I have no one to rely on except my uncle’s advice.
I calmly took a deep breath and nodded.
“Yes, I won’t worry.”
“The guardian can’t go in anymore, so I’ll wait here. The test on the first day is simple, so don’t be too nervous and do well. Understand?”
“… … yes.”
I sat alone in seat number 77 in Group B, away from Uncle Jason, and waited.
Students 76 and 78 sat on either side of me… … .
As the auditorium was filled with applicants, a man who appeared to be a professor walked up to the podium.
A blunt expression and cold eyes.
“My name is Heidel, and I am the vice president of Ignit Magic Academy.”
Vice Dean, Heidel.
As with my frighteningly cold exterior, I am like a sword that doesn’t seem to show the slightest mercy in judging.
But, just a moment.
Hi Del?
It seems like a name I heard from my father and grandfather sometime ago… … .
is not it?
“First, apply for admission to our school.
Thank you to the 4,111 applicants who submitted their support. The number of applicants wishing to enter our school has increased every year. Starting with winning the grand festival of Ruin Ardel, a graduate of our school and current tower owner, we have proven our excellent performance in magic festivals held every year. “At the grand festival held three years ago, we achieved the feat of winning the team competition, overpowering the Yanggang Magic School, which represents the Lynark Empire.”
“Waaah!”
Thunderous applause poured out.
okay.
As the Vice Dean said, Ignit Magic Academy has become a magic school that represents the continent in name and reality.
My father shows affection for his alma mater, to the point where he attends special lectures every year.
For this reason alone, it becomes the most prestigious school, and no other reasons are needed.
Because of the applicants from all over the world, the average ability of new students naturally increased.
The competition rate is generally 7 to 1.
Like this year, this is the first time that the competition rate has exceeded 13 to 1.
Why did it increase so explosively during my entrance exam?
“This year’s entrance exam consists of seven challenges. It’s called Rainbow Challenge. You take a test on 7 items in front of examiners and are given a score. “All seven scores are added up to select the top 300.”
Out of 4,111 people, 300 people were selected.
My goal is, of course, to represent the freshmen.
1st place.
Mom did it, Dad did it too… … .
Now it’s my turn.
“Before the exam on the first day, Red, I would like to tell you one more thing in advance… … . The examiner does not ask applicants about any personal information. Therefore, if an applicant first reveals his/her family name and identity, it will be grounds for rejection. Keep this in mind, and if there is an applicant who tries to use unfair methods… … . “Please give up now.”
Vice Dean Professor Heidel issued a threat that any mention of family or social status during the entrance exam would be considered cheating.
This was met with applause again, and I also gave a round of applause.
Commoners, nobles, royalty… … .
A fair test that evaluates only talent for magic and does not apply to any class.
Because that was what I wanted too.
“I hope the competition will be fierce and the entrance exam will be one that everyone will have no regrets about. That is all.”
As Professor Heidel stepped down from the podium, the fellow applicants sitting around me opened their mouths as if they were nervous.
“Whoa… … . “Is the exam starting now?”
“It seems like that. Ugh, I’m nervous.”
“The moment you say your identity and name in front of the examiner, you are cheating… … . “It’s a little harsh, but it’s a really good system.”
“that’s right. Everyone knows this, right? “Tapju’s son is taking the exam this year.”
“Of course I know. “He’s the same age as us.”
“You’re lucky, right? At least the tower owner’s son won’t pass the exam based on his name.”
The moment my story came out, I froze in place and pricked up my ears.
“Probably so. Because the academy entrance exam is fair. However, if he is as skilled as the tower owner’s son, wouldn’t he be able to pass without the value of the name Ardel? “I heard you have a talent even better than the 7th class wizard Irene Prius.”
“Yes, I heard that too. I heard that rumors are already spreading in Ardel. “I first used class 1 magic at the age of 7.”
“Hey, it’s just a rumor after all, a rumor. Have you guys actually seen the tower owner’s son?”
“••••••Nothing.”
“Nothing? so do i. They say he hasn’t appeared in any official event since he was eight years old. “He’s such a secret, isn’t there at least one exaggerated rumor?”
“Are you saying the rumors about Evan Ardel have been exaggerated?”
“Being a 1st class runner at the age of 7 doesn’t make sense, does it? Could such absurd rumors really be true? At best
“It’s like feeling me.”
“I see… …
“Think about it the other way around. He’s a guy who looks like the son of the owner of the tower, but if there’s not even a rumor like that… … . Wouldn’t that be even weirder? This is the reason why he rarely appears at official events, and the reason that so little is known about him is strange. Rather, I see it as an empty Gangjeong.”
“Hmm, after hearing it, it seems like that… … ?”
“That makes sense. If you really have great talent, this is how you show it.
There’s no need to do it. “Really, it actually feels like I’m hiding.”
“He is the son of the tower owner, but it turns out that he has no talent for magic. So, he is hiding. What do you think? Is it persuasive?”
“That’s right, this is it. Evan Ardel said… … . “He’s probably waiting for the test somewhere in the main auditorium, right?”
“I guess so. “I don’t know who it is, but I want to see your skills quickly.”
That Evan Ardel… … .
It’s right next to it.
But I couldn’t confidently say, ‘I’m Evan Ardel, what did you just say?’
Hiding because you are not confident in your skills.
Because what they were talking about was not completely wrong.
Damn it, so weak… … .
Even though Uncle Jason told me to just beat it up.
I’m still extremely weak.
However, one thing.
There’s something I don’t understand a little bit.
noodle… … .
“I’m sorry for interrupting the conversation… …
” huh?”
“Ah, my name is Erban from Monzo… … . “I have a question.”
” What?”
“If I became a first-class runner at the age of 7, is that great?”
“what? “Is this something great?”
“Tsk tsk, you bastard. Since I’m from the countryside, I don’t know anything about magic. I’m not saying that’s great,
“I’m saying it doesn’t make sense.”
“Topju, who is said to be a genius among geniuses, said that when he entered the academy, he could only use class 1 magic. “What does this mean?”
“Boo, it’s impossible?”
“okay.”
The concept I know is slightly different from theirs.
Of course, the rumor that I mastered class 1 magic at the age of 7 is incorrect.
I started class 1 magic at age 6
And I already entered class 2 when I was 7 years old.
“So, what does it mean to be able to master 4th class magic at the age of 9?”
“••••••what?”
Children of my age who heard my question looked at me strangely, as if they were ‘crazy’.
I couldn’t hear the answer.
“Uh, the exam is starting.”
Because the entrance exam has started.
