Kenshi o Mezashite Nyūgaku Shitanoni Mahō Tekisei 9999 Nandesukedo! ? Chapter 2 (1/2)
Chapter 2: What do mean by Magic Apt.i.tude Value 「9999」?!!
Anybody can become an adventurer.
Even if they’re n.o.bles. Even if they’re peasants. Even if they have no money. Even if they can’t read or write.
There is only one thing needed.
It’s the resolve to risk his own life.
Extermination of monsters that harm people.
Exploration of the ruins of an ancient civilization.
Bringing back materials that can be used for alchemy from the harsh nature of the hinterlands.
Every one of those, are important work that will contribute to the human race, and it is an Adventurer Quest that is side-by-side with death.
Adventurers dies.
Especially those who had training with combat arts and magic. Adventurers that rush to earn money, generally die.
The survival rate of a rookie adventurer after one year is off 70%. There were so much casualties, there was a detailed data available.
Even with that, people that wants to become an adventurer has no end to them.
It was because you can earn money with it.
There is a thrill.
A child’s admiration.
And, they will die.
Adventurers are those kind of people, it was thought like that for a long time.
But, 50 years ago. There was someone who opposed that.
Within those who are dying, there might be a person full of talents in them.
Dying without the chance to extend their talents shouldn’t be a good thing.
If that’s so, I will educate you before you die.
The one who said that is the S-Rank Adventurer, with the second name 「Great Sage of Beauty」.
After defeating one Majin 130 years before, a legend that still live today.
Charlotte Gyrdorea.
She made the King at the time let out funds, gather appropriate talents as instructors, and created the school made to educate adventurers.
That is, Royal Gydorea Adventurer School.
It is the school that Laura will start to go starting today, and her father, Bruno, and her mother, Dora, is a Warrior Department’s graduate.
There are two departments at Royal Gyrdorea Adventurer School.
Warrior Department and Magic Department.
The former, teaches mainly the sword, spear, axe, bow, and empty-hand combat.
The latter, is magic in general.
And of course, Laura will enroll to the Warrior Department.
「Warrior Department’s freshmen, gather here!」
A male instructor’s low voice echoed throughout the wide schoolyard.
Laura who didn’t know where to go while holding her baggage, let out a sigh of relief.
Even if she had a talent in sword, a 9 year old is a 9 year old.
In the unfamiliar Royal Capital. In the unfamiliar group action, she couldn’t help to get nervous.
「Laura Edmonds. Warrior Department desu!」
「Ohh, you are that Edmonds House’s daughter huh. If I’m correct you’re 9 years old right. Breaking through the entrance exam in that age, you’re talents do not lose to your parents’. But, cla.s.s will be difficult. Prepare yourself」
「Yes!」
I would like it, if it was hard.
It was because Laura wants to be strong.
Even so, entering school at 9 years old was really unusual it seems.
Even if I look around, I couldn’t see a person of the same age.
The entrance exam was taken by everyone at different times so I didn’t know, that the youngest were at least 12-13 years old. There are also those who seem that they are near 20 years old.
-Although, once entering, age doesn’t matter. Everything is decided by their ability.
But if she was going to make friends, those who are the same age are easier to talk to.
“I wonder if I can make friends properly”. Laura started to become anxious.
But I think that it would be okay.
Even if our age is far apart, everyone in here, are aiming to become a first cla.s.s warrior.
I’m sure there would be common topics.
And if we’re both a swordsman then we could become best friends, probably.
「The Warrior Department’s freshmen, 43 people. It looks like everyone is gathered. Then starting right now, I will measure your talents with this device. Of course, the talent measured by this tool is only a guide, but somehow, it would be a reference for the cla.s.ses from now on. Well, just relax. It’s not like anything would happen using this right now」
Beside the instructor with a large build, a transparent blue pillar stood.
It’s width and length was almost the same with the instructor.
The student that is called by their name, will touch the pillar with their hand.
And then, a light stretches from the pillar, and started drawing letters mid air.
It looks like, it was a device used to put in numbers the apt.i.tude to swords or spears, and various types of magic.
That is probably, a chunk of magic technology.
I wonder if it was made by founder, Charlotte Gyrdorea?
「Next. Anna Arnett」
「Yes」
The one replied and went forward, was a girl who’s around 13 years old. Her hair was fiery red.
Probably, she was the closest age to Laura.
Seeing Anna’s way of walking, Laura instinctively groaned.
Still young……rather childish, but she has the atmosphere that of a first cla.s.s warrior.
She knew because she was able to see a real first cla.s.s, her father and mother, in daily life, it was Laura’s intuition.
And the device proved that her intuition was right.
Name: Anna Arnett
Apt.i.tude with the Sword: 98
Apt.i.tude with the Spear: 81
Apt.i.tude with the Axe: 66
Apt.i.tude with the Bow: 70
Apt.i.tude with Close Combat Arts: 83
Seeing the numbers shown in mid air, the instructor let a voice like 「Hou〜」.
「I think that you know it by looking earlier, but even those who pa.s.sed that difficult exam, their apt.i.tude is around 50-60. But Anna’s lowest was the axe, but still it was 66. With the sword, it’s 98. Undoubtedly a genius. Although, whatever genius you are, if you started to be conceited it will be your end」
「I won’t be conceited……I will grind with full force」
To the instructor, Anna answered with a sharp voice.
