The Teachers Who Abandoned Me Are Obsessed With Me

19 – Can I see his exam paper?

First grade teacher’s office.

The midterm exams for the first year ended first, but there are exams for other grades, so there are no classes this week. So, the professors were grading the exams in the office.

Professor Lin, wearing a neat female suit, frowned at her and was looking at her test paper.

Evan’s test paper.

I wondered if I would get 50 points right every now and then, but the test paper was different from what I expected.

Especially #24 and #25.

Rin couldn’t take her eyes off the problem she had raised to prevent 100 points.

‘This is…… What.’

In the answers to the two questions, there was a response that could not be determined even at the professor level.

The original answer to number 24 is to just run away.

Because a magic rank F swordsman can’t face the dragon in the sky.

However, Evan’s number 24 was written with a knowledgeable theory of magic, stealing the dragon’s magic and fighting the dragon in the sky.

‘…… If you think it’s easy, you can handle the wrong answer.’

A test is something that goes according to the textbook.

Evan’s answer completely ignored the textbook. What he wrote is literally how to deal with dragons. Something that could only be used in a magic class test.

But Lynn couldn’t easily get Evan’s number 24 wrong.

Anyway, the purpose is to kill the dragon.

Rin bit her lip and read Evan’s answer several times.

Cynthia was going outside when she saw Lyn like that.

Cynthia La, who is in charge of Equestrian Art 1 class, has already finished grading her points in the practice test. How well the children handled the horse, and whether the way they saddled it was not wrong. Cynthia had meticulously scored that part.

I went to work today because of my duties as a professor. A professor should be a role model for others. So, while she was sitting in her office contemplating the next class, Cynthia saw Lin’s serious expression for the first time.

She always has a cold expression and blows out vicious words, so she can’t mix with the professors.

She herself seemed like she didn’t mind being alone.

She wasn’t on bad terms with Cynthia.

It’s enough to have a simple conversation.

“Professor Lin?”

“…… Yes, Professor Cynthia.”

At Cynthia’s call, Rin only answered without taking her eyes off her exam paper.

“Can I help you with something?”

With plenty of time until the next class, Cynthia reached out her helping hand.

Lin refused with the same tone.

“No.”

As the eldest daughter of Balmunga, she is incompetent in taking help from others.

Lynn kept her lines clear even as she scored.

Cynthia glanced at the test paper Lynn had.

Whose test paper is that cold Rin so engrossed in?

Her name was hard to see because it was covered by Rin’s red hair.

Cynthia bent her upper body slightly to see the box with her name on it.

「Evan Innin Grace.」

Evan’s name, written in an antique handwriting, filled Cynthia’s eyes.

Cynthia’s body froze.

Why?

It was just her student’s name, but Cynthia couldn’t take her eyes off her.

Cynthia’s hair went white, then an image came to her mind.

Evan unfolds the Winter Queen’s sword in the training room.

A boy looking down at the floor covered in blood.

The sword was hanging down and the boy’s appearance was calm.

Cynthia looks as if she doesn’t know pain…… She barely suppressed her thoughts.

If she doesn’t practice these days, she keeps reminding herself of that figure.

To the extent that it interferes with work.

As a professor, you will have to adjust.

“…… Is this Evan?”

So I asked Lin. To divert your thoughts to the subject of the test.

Rin only nodded slightly at Cynthia’s voice as she approached with difficulty.

“Yes.”

“To the exam… What’s wrong?”

“If there is a problem… Could it be a problem? Garbage and… Oh, excuse me. Evanchigo wrote a very high-level correct answer.”

Rin pressed her own temple and said.

A high-level answer? For some reason, Cynthia did not find it unfamiliar.

“I offered him 70 points… I just got 70 points according to the contents of the textbook. But there are some things that are not in the textbook. The last two problems…… No matter how much I think about it, it’s an answer that can’t be written with that guy’s knowledge.”

“Evan… Do you think it’s not the answer you thought it would be?”

“Yes.”

Cynthia felt relieved.

And Cynthia didn’t understand my feelings. Relief? Why is Lynn so relieved that she doubts Evan’s abilities?

Cynthia put her hand on her chest. The beating heart is noisy.

“I… Can I have a look?”

Careful tone. At Cynthia’s request, Rin finally turned to Cynthia.

Cynthia, looking a bit nervous, filled Rin’s eyes. If it’s just to show, she can be with the same professor. Lynn handed Cynthia her test paper.

“Thanks for the advice.”

Lin thought Cynthia was doing this to help her.

Cynthia didn’t ask for what Rin thought, she just wanted to confirm Evan’s answer. Cynthia took her test paper and went through it carefully. And she stopped at number 24.

She witnessed a truly beautiful theory. This method of stealing her dragon’s mana and using it herself was an idea that an outstanding master might have come up with, connecting the dragon and her own magic passage.

Perhaps if this method is applied to reality, the world will be colored with light.

As the dragon’s magic flowed into the Master.

Extremely realistic and colorful appearance.

Cynthia was now convinced.

Certainly, Evan’s theoretical abilities are very good. She was invited by the Knights Association of the Empire right away. Perhaps, when they discover his hidden ability, everyone will covet him.

But Cynthia knows. His greatest ability is the Winter Queen’s sword. After showing so much enthusiasm for the Winter Queen’s sword. The only thing that can satisfy him is the Winter Queen’s sword.

Of course, this is simply Cynthia’s misunderstanding, but Cynthia believed more firmly than anyone else.

Rin stared blankly at Cynthia.

She said she simply watched it, but it dragged on for a long time. Isn’t this a hindrance? Lynn raised her hand.

“Please stop.”

“…… Yes.”

Silently thinking, Cynthia returned her test paper to Rin.

※

On the day of the Humbaba Swordsmanship Competition.

I decided to travel separately from Selene and the others. We only go back together when we go back.

Things that don’t help at all in training.

Selene sighed.

“Eww, you really do whatever you want. Okay. Only go to the academy and the coliseum together. The meeting place is here. Come on time until 30 minutes after the competition ends.”

In the quiet space of the Colosseum, Selene broke up with me while talking.

Since the competition started soon, there were still a lot of people. After confirming that Selene and the others had completely disappeared, I raised a haze with magic. A haze that obscures my appearance.

I put on a plain helmet in a crowd of people around the time I was not recognizing me. And he wore comfortable leather clothes.

A boy knight with an ordinary appearance.

No one noticed because it was disguised when there were no eyes on me.

I entered the participant’s entrance. Most of the participants have already entered the venue, so the entrance to the participants is rather spacious.

It was noisy as the audience lined up at the entrance was cheering for someone, but at least there was no problem getting into the entrance of the participants.

A clerk sitting at the counter spotted me and held out his hand.

I placed the device in the clerk’s hand. An office worker who will soon put the device on the desk and scan. After he finished checking, he nodded his head.

“You have chosen to remain anonymous. Participation records of participants are kept only by certain officials of the Duke of Demagier and the Imperial Family. We will guarantee the confidentiality of the contestants in the name of DeMazière.”

The word guarantees confidentiality, but the duke and the imperial family will know my identity anyway. It’s like covering your eyes and saying it’s a secret.

But my information spreads only to those who are that high, so the strong people will know me well.

It’s annoying when kids talk about themselves, but a fight with a strong person is always welcome.

“Okay.”

“Could you tell me the alias you have chosen?”

“Moonlight Moonlight.”

“Moonlight… It’s moonlight…… All right.”

The clerk listened to me and recorded Moonlight on the participant list.

Fortunately, there are no duplicate names.

I nodded and retrieved the device.

If you think about it, the only thing that represents me is moonlight, so I decided to use that.

※

The venue was crowded with crowds.

Not only are the seats almost full, but the contestants in the arena are already fighting among themselves.

“Waaa!!!!!!!!!!”

A resounding shout.

Everyone is staring at the circular dirt floor arena.

The preliminaries are battle royale.

All of them are eliminated from the preliminaries, leaving only 16 players who will enter the finals.

There seem to be over 200 contestants now, but I can understand why Selene said it was difficult to make it to the finals.

Three good guys… About 4 people. Among them, there is one that possesses unclean magic, but this is a bit unusual. Can Servants of Calamity participate in the Swordsmanship Tournament? Or is it a simple infiltration?

I hope either way is strong. Practical experience is important.

I looked all around to explore.

It is an amphitheatre with no special features. I don’t see any good guys anymore… I saw Jeanne waving her hand with a cheerful face. Did you participate too? When I rolled my eyes and looked at the audience, I saw the smiling swordsman nodding his head.

‘…… I don’t want to meet Jeanne in the finals.’

I’ll be knocked out with one knife.

I want to fight as strong an opponent as possible.

With that thought in mind, I looked away from her and her eyes met Jeanne’s. For some reason, Jeanne’s kiddo came running to me with her eyes wide open.

“Hi! I never thought there would be another student as young as me!”

Jeanne came in front of me waving her palms noisily. Fortunately, she doesn’t seem to recognize me, but she doesn’t know why she’s coming to me, even though Selene is over there.

If you’re annoying, I’ll drop you first in the preliminaries.

“Where are you from? Aren’t the regional qualifiers really hard?”

Jane asked me while looking at me. I responded by changing my voice with magical power.

“You talk a lot.”

“Oh, right? Sorry. I’m so glad To be honest, I was very nervous.”

These days, young people talk so much.

I ignored Jeanne, who spoke in an appropriate manner.

Jeanne took a deep breath, and regardless of my reaction, she worked hard on her mouth.

“Ugh… I know I have to consistently compete in competitions during the semester, but I am always nervous.”

There is some good information in Jeanne’s long words.

Knight academy students aim to become knights, so winning records in competitions are important. These records are added as additional points when applying for a job after graduation. Even when you are appointed, you can challenge nobles with a higher rank.

I’m thinking of going to the mountains after I graduate from the academy, so I don’t have much inspiration.

“I don’t know anything else, but I must win against Selene. This is a matter of pride as a disciple of the Sword Saint.”

Jeanne clenched her fists and said, looking at Selene.

I thought only Selene cared about Jeanne, but it seems that both of them see each other as rivals.

Jeanne covered her mouth, looked at me, and smiled briskly.

“Oh, sorry. I told you. Have you heard of it too? I am a disciple of Sword Saint Mayer.”

“Did I tell you everything?”

“Uh…… This is not a reaction.”

Jane made a puzzled face.

Unless Sword Saint Mayer battles with me, I don’t feel motivated.

Even if there is no opponent, you can’t give a child a sword and tell them to fight.

This is also a children’s playground, but there are things that deviate from the child’s tee.

I intend to target such people.
