Chapter 6 (1/2)
Chapter 6 - The beggar noble wants to earn money
There was a resting time of 30 minutes scheduled between the first and second exaan ere flooded with people grouping up around us
”Lady Bluedon, where did you find that dead reaper? No, rather than that, how a is it that you defeated it without any injuries!”
”No, that was-”
Before she could involve ed location to an eether with Em school she would always prepare one forwith hers
”Thanks for always”
”No problem~, but more importantly than that, hey, did you defeat that dead reaper?”
”Only as a secreet between you and I”
”I knew it You've been rapidly getting stronger recently, haven't you? Does it have to do with the great sage?”
”That's not it It's because I found an excellent master”
”A woman?”
”You could say that”
”Muuh~, if I'hー”
She put on alook and pouted her lips Ah-, please stop snatching pieces of my side dishes
Trying to get her to stop being suspicious I explained that it's not some kind of weird relationshi+p, nor is erous person, but to no avail
While ere killing time like that the second exa one's speciality to an examiner A lot of the on standby
”――Next, Noir Stalgia”
”Here”
”Member of the number one team, huh What will you do?”
”Right, about that――”
To no surprise, being placed first by such a large ather The people around us far outnumbered the ones at the other examiners Honestly, wouldn't it be fine not to aim for a lot of points here? Whether you pass or fail is decided based on the su hard an S rank was pretty uaranteed
”I will fire a stone projectile”
”Go ahead”
I fired at the scarecrow that was prepared for et I took away some of the shot's power, but still made sure it hit the mark
”W-wasn't that projectile pretty small just now!?”
”It ic, there wasn't a whole lot of power behind it either”
”And I thought stone projectile's shots were a fixed size I see”
The examiner was surprised as well and wrote down a score on his sheet of paper Well, even if I'ular it shouldn't cause a point increase At any rate, with this my exam was over Now all that was left was to wait
Several hours later we all gathered in the school yard again Everyone that passed received a hero school badge and Lenore, Emma and I also properly received one
With this, unemployment has been officially escaped!
Apparently the top ten scores were to be publicly announced by the school director Although I had already passed I was still curious about the final order, so I stuck around
I wasn't a the ranks from tenth to fourth Of course, neither were Emma and Lenore
”――Third place, Noir Stalgia Second place, Ehtness First place, Lenore Bluedon!”
Seeh after all Good thing I took it easy with the second one, standing out by getting first place would have been aard
”Noir Stalgia! Was it you who defeated the dead reaper?”
Rank one Lenore came to question me with a serious look
”Myets a little fuzzy”
”Like you're that kind of old geezer!”
Nice quip, Emma
”Isn't it fine either way? You got first place Congratulations, Lenore Since we'll be in the sainning and get along well Not that I'h”
”No, I'ize forof baronet status is the truth”
She displayed an unexpected amount of sincerity and initiated a handshake
To avoid the co the dead reaper I also asked her if she could take the role of the one that defeated it and she gladly accepted the proposal
”I oes I could have defeated it on rant your request”
”That's a relief”
She sure is the type to want to brag That personality saved me this time
――And thus, my enrollment into hero school was decided and I was in a pleasant mood Until I arrived at the reception desk, that is
”Congraulations on your enrollment Please prepare the school fee of 300,000 Ria until the school entrance ceremony in one week”
”Pretty expensive”
”Since those of S rank receive special lessons the price also goes up accordingly However, since Sir Stalgia is of nobility, that amount of money should be”
”Ah, yeah, that nobility”
