Takeru cannot suppress his hot-bloodedness He clenched his fist
『It is a very harsh examination Do it half-assedly and you’ll die That’s why, for the re ones left here, please do steel your resolve』
—You ht possibly die A very harsh examination
He just smiled Even if it was to mock them, he did not underestimate it He’s just that happy That’s just it
『Those who are afraid from what I’ve just said, please back do Renounce that you’re abstaining right now』
For such a very interesting thing, like ould damn quit it?
『Is there someone ould quit? Seems like a no Wonderful everyone Well then, I’ll explain the details of the zeroth preliminary examination』
The surrounding students held their breaths
The department head quietly watched The place had the atle word said
Whatever kind of exaht come, the air has been filled with the mixture of expectation and fear
『Everyone, please listen』
The words they longed for finally comes out
However, the depart Only to incline his neck
『Ohthere Just stand there Good If you e to stay stand still for five minutes, your examination in the zeroth preliminary is a success』
Takeru have frowned
—I’ minutes?
He thought it was going to be a harsh exaonna pass it if it’s only to stand for five minutes
Then, one student alone shouted
“Are you fucking with us?!”
After that, many complaints came one after another
“That’s right! What’s with that?! Everyone else can pass this!”
“And you say this is a harsh exa a fool out of us?”
“Sigh You’re really weak for a department head This harsh examination isn’t harsh at all”
Were those students misunderstood his words? The department head smiled as he answered
『Is it that long for you? How about we reduce that to a minute then? Yeah, Let’s do this for a minute』
There werefrom the students since then
The senior students who h had their faces paled
“Oi Can you stop with that one minute already?”
While they were looking impatient, the senior students halted their complaints
The department head pulled out the saber froht blue hue on the blade As it was basked in the sun’s light, it shi+nes blinking
『Well then, please stand there okay? The Zeroth Preliminary Examination now starts Ah, Department Sub-Head sensei, can you please man the ti God He’s one of those RL acquaintance ofwith… O_O)
The department head turns the blue tip of his 《Replica》 to the students
The sunlight froo was hot, now it becomes unpleasantly cold
The student next to Takeru, was gritting his teeth He then embraced himself with his arms (TLN: And Takeru’s completely unfazed about this bulls xD)
It was as if he were thrown into the midst of midwinter
No, he was not the only one The students around hiht the attention of his eyes
The department head announced to everyone with a smile
『Please cover yourself in Ether If you lost consciousness, you’ll never get it back Now that’s a no-no If you don’t do so now, you ht not be able to withstand this with small amount of Ether』
I see The examination was this
The surrounding temperature has dropped dramatically They must endure the coldness
There’s approximately thirty seconds left huh?
There’s only lesser than ninety percent left standing
『Now then Is it going to coo everyone』
The department head pointed his blue bladed saber 《Replica》 towards the sky
And then, bakin!!! So of a clump cracked in the blue sky Crack, crackle Crack, crackle No, this is wrong The crack was not fro the sky itself
『Now then, everyone do your best to endure this okay?』
The depart those words
And at the same time,
The sky cracked
The ice that covered the sky broke
The gravels of the freezing ice, shot down like bullets in a lightning manner
It round
One student got hit and was down in one hit
The students who endured that one hit, was once again hit for the second and third tily
—Fifteen seconds left
Whether it was a girl or a boy, they toppled to the ground one after another The pinned down students staggeringlythem, they cannot muster any
Those students who got hit on the forehead was toppled down looking up to the sky
The gravels of ice continued to rain down not letting the students take a break or so
Majority of thehostly state
The students who can still stand are of few numbers
And then, the gravels of ice rained down upon Takeru
However, they never hit Takeru (TLN: Haxx!!! Fing cheat!!! REPORT TO GARY!!!)
Perhaps, like what the departht protect them
Takeru stood there while placing his hands on his pockets
Not even one gravel of ice touched his body
『Let’s rain more down for the finale』
After the department head said that, there was a loud thunder Thunders of eraser size started to rain vigorously
The students who endured it till noas finally brought down to their knees
A student defended thehtning
—Three seconds left
It was tiradually decreased
After that rain, the sky once again lightens
—It’s over
Takeru, who can finally see the sky clearing up had a weak mutter
“Is this it?”
Then, the department head stared at Takeru
He shouldn’t be able to hear hisbecause of the distance but, as if the department head heard Takeru just smiled
『Such unpreparedness, you people otten injured It was suppleuard down』
The nextan unpleasant feeling
He made a baseball sized lump of ice on his hand Of course, it was on a course to strike Takeru
The next moment before he realized, before Takeru was the lu him
It would be bad if he got hit by it It has an overwhel power on it too You can be injured if it’s just taken lightly
“Tsk”
Takeru clicked his tongue Takeru immediately punched the ice
The ice glistened into pieces then disappeared
『That’s the end of the Zeroth Preli on two feet have passed』
In front of the s corpses
The rehly in the twenties Even a those twenty, they only barely stood up The examination was over All students crumbled down
However, there were completely none of the students that were caluirl who’s on a crazy spree on her handheld console (TLN: 余裕綽々 ana “Nande kind of sense They were fine and all and at the sa inside… xD)
『For those who have stood still, please come forward We have to list the names of the successful applicants』
And there, the Zeroth Preliminary Examination ended
It only lasted a minute
However, eighty percent of the examinee failed
Oh yeah, what about that second year senpai that talked to me? Did he passed?
That’s what he thought as he looked around However, ast the ones that passed the examination, he can’t be seen
What the actual hell was that? Really…
Takeru faces the teacher while thinking He then catches the figure of Nakkun-senpai lying on the ground
Nakkun-senpai had his face buried down to the ground as if he was prostrating
“Oh… My condolences to you” is what Takeru’s gazearea
The grown-ups earlier that atching was now listing the na for some time now
A personnel made an eye contact with Takeru then smiled It was a person he just met forthe first time

“Thatyou need?”
“No, sorry I don’t really have any particular business with but, If you ran to some troubles, you can ask me for help Can you please tell me your name and your class?”
“Year One, surely it was… yeah, Class 9 Kisaragi Takeru”
And then, the staff slid the pen softly to the paper while nodding
“I see Entry complete Your application is a success Now please take this bracelet”
While saying that, he handed a blue colored le
“Hee, it looks beautiful”
Takeru put it to his ar so
And then, the staff waved his hand in panic
“Wait! Wait a ht now! Haven’t you heard anything from your homeroom teacher?! That’s a special apparatus for the next examination so don’t just use it out of nowhere”
“This?”
“Yeah That’s right These are tools excavated frounare》 They are used with different techniques Until you’ve been told to do so, never use it okay? Whatever happens to it, I’onna take responsibility you hear?”

Takeru nodded and cursed his homeroom teacher in his heart
