Chapter 24.2 - One Man Entrance Exam (2)
Translator: Lady Black
Although it may be known, his father also told him that he won’t have an attribute.
“Just in case, this is a part of the interview…”
The uncle wipes some of his sweat.
He didn’t care anyway since he has a way to deceive them. All he had to do was to apply a sticker of attribute [Earth] on the barrier [Ancient Text] hidden on his left breast. Simple as that.
Then, they went to a reception room.
“Hello, you’re Haruto-kun, son of Lord Zenphis. Right, you’re nice. The Black Hair has a point like me.”
There’s something small.
It looks dull brown hair. Wearing small glasses, she looked cheeky but adorable. A girl with a hazy black robe rolling over on the sofa.
“Yeah, I understand. You’re wondering why such a child is here?”
What’s going on? This is unreasonable.
He was urged by the sweaty uncle to sit on the sofa. A crystal ball was placed on the low table in between them.
“Okay, I look like this but I’m a professor at this school. Tiareitta Luciannell. My name is too long, you may call me Tia. Now, however much his majesty recommend you, if I’m in a bad mood, I wouldn’t wish you to attend the entrance ceremony—”
“Really?!”
Then, should I make her angry?
“Oh my, why do I felt that you’re hoping it more than getting frightened?”
You’re absolutely right.
“I don’t like strange people. I like it more. That’s why I’m hoping for it.”
Tia-san bends her chest without anything bulging.
“Where did you look just now! You must’ve thought that ‘Won’t it inflate at all?’”
If one thinks that then it would be a hassle, would one be able to read mind again?
“Aside from that, first let’s check your knowledge in magic.”
The sweaty uncle handed her the answer sheet. Professor Tia’s face changed and became steep. It’s full of ‘I don’t know’ and of course.
“…may we measure?”
He put his hand on the crystal ball in front of him. Preparations for the [Ancient Text] were complete. Come on!
After Tia-sensei mumbled, the crystal ball shined brightly. Furthermore, a gust of magic arose.
Bukki!
It’s broken. It’s really broken?
Tia-sensei, Sweaty uncle, and Angu.
Is this crystal a bad product? I’ve never broken one before.
But the result was good.
After all, the Mija crystal seemed to be made by mysterious ancient technology. It’s a valuable item that cannot be made in this era. They must be angry since he broke it.
Tia-sensei’s cute face started to tremble. It’s confirmed. Now, be angry and tell me ‘Please go home’!
“…Amazing”
Hmm?
“Did you see that, Porcos-san?! The Mija Crystal broke. Oh my gosh! This is the sign that the crystal was experiencing an intolerable rate of magical power. Maybe he’ll be on par with the great sage, Grandfelt.”
Porcos… oh, that’s the name of the Sweaty Uncle.
“But Luciannell-sensei, did he say that his magic level is just level 2? There’s no reason for Lord Zenphis to lie. Even if that’s the case, it would be too unnatural to set the bar extremely low.”
“No, I don’t believe it. The measurement results might be true but didn’t I say that Mija Crystal is always correct? Believing is a detesting act that distracts the mind of the world. Those people cannot be a magic researcher.”
“It’s not just about the profess being twisted…”
“Don’t worry! It’s not just about the crystal. His magical knowledge… even though I didn’t see that even basic theory could be poor, the interpretation of the barrier magic was excellent! This is very close to a new interpretation proposed by those studying magic!”
“You want to be totally cast away by society aren’t you?”
“Shut up! Anyhow, we’ll take him. I won’t give such an interesting boy to other professors. These days, bad people started to come in and out… I wonder how we could let the students know. Now, Porcos!”
Professor Tia snapped her fingers to the Sweaty old man.
“You don’t need to say anything about it. Cover up some parts of the examination.”
“Isn’t it secretly done by the professor from the start… nobody knows.”
“Then, why don’t you come to by laboratory, Haruto-kun? Yeah, come here. This is the only laboratory specializing in ancient magic. I’m sure to promise you a satisfying 5 years.”
Those eyes were full of expectations.
Only to return on the word.
“I hate it.”
He felt like he could hear the little professor’s heard clattering on the floor—
