Taking the Entrance Exam
After I separated with Sicily and Maria, I went back home
“Welcome back, shi+n-sama”
The gatekeeper, Alex-san, greetedthe shi+ft as Gatekeepers, since Alex-san was the winner for the Gatekeeper Division of the servants’ deciding battle, he became the Head Guard of the mansion
Again, what’s up with the servants’ deciding battle!
“I’m back, Alex-san”
“shi+n-sa were to ever happen to shi+n-sama, I would…”
“I say, it’s okay, although I did encounter sos earlier when I was in the city, there was no problem at all”
“Thugs! Did you really do soerous!?”
“That’s why, I said nothing happened As long as the opponent is not stronger than Michel-san, there’ll be no problem”
“Michel-sahts’ General…”
“That’s right, that’s right That’s why you don’t need to be that worried Anyway, thanks for your hard work”
“Haa~…”
Hmph, really, all the servants here are too overprotective Even though up until now, I’ve already faced wild animals in the forest asthat they worry about me
Upon entering the reeted me
“Welcome home, shi+n-sama”
“I’m home, Steve-san”
“Earlier, this arrived froic Academy”
“What? This is?”
“This is the Advanced Magic Academy entrance exam admission ticket”
Oh, now that I think about it, since the ti to them,” I wondered what happened because there was no news at all Uncle, it looks like you did your job properly
“I see So to happen”
“shi+n-saet so worked up If it’s you, I’m sure you’ll be okay You can even aim for the Freshman Representative, probably”
Un, based on Maria’s story earlier today, as of right now, I feel like I’et any randson’s score turned out to be barely passing, I wonder if it would disgrace grandpa and Uncle Dis…
Alright! I’ve decided! I’ll go full-force during the exam
“I understand Thank you, Steve-san”
“It’s nothing, please do your best All the servants will be cheering for you”
And so, when the new year began, a New Year’s party was held privately
It really was a private party
Since grandpa and the others ca to visit to try and get a connection with grandpa and grandinally came to the capital for my social education Because of that, all the people who cao back home
In the end, the party was held with only those who came to my birthday party the other day
Since the King of the country also came, all the servants were super anxious Even the Guard Division were on full alert I think I will go and thank them for their hard work afterwards
In any case, is it okay not to be at the Royal Party, Uncle Dis?
A few days after the new year, the day of the entrance exaic Academy had arrived
Since I intended to go to the acadee I already knew the location of the academy since I walked around the capital quite a lot in these last few days It was located in the boundaries of the nobles’ District and the Commoners’ District; it was a place where both the nobles and commoners can easily attend In addition, our house was also located between the nobles’ District and the Commoners’ District, so it’ll probably only take 15 minutes to reach the academy on foot?
The things I brought withutensils, and… fufufu my newly acquired Citizenshi+p Card at last! The citizenshi+p card was so I didn’t have when I first entered the royal capital so I finally got it in my hands!
Actually, this citizenshi+p card is quite anize an individual’s mana pattern, and since it won’t be activated by anyone other than its owner, there are no items more suitable for a person’s identity confirmation
And also, there’s the Royal Bank in the Earlshi+de Kingdom, and this citizenshi+p card can be used as a debit card The bank account is directly registered inside the card Since it cannot be accessed by anyone other than the owner, and only the bank can modify the details of the account, one can make a deposit or a withdrawal in any nearby banks It’s al security Ta the amount of money available in one’s account is punishable by death It seems this is one area where one absolutely shouldn’t touch due to the confidence in their security
By the way, the card doesn’t have a credit card function
Furtheric pattern for a period of one ation o to the Hunter association and record the current subjugation mission information on their citizenshi+p card Then, when they coation, they can calculate the difference in mana before they left, and collect their reward
Really, this citizenshi+p card is a
After walking in a ical item, I arrived at the academy
The acade its size, I wonder if it’s a bit bigger than a private high school, probably? Since it has only 300 students in a 3 academic year system with 100 students in each academic year; it’s probably about that size
Even after considering the Royal Capital’s population, they only have this ic Acadeet admitted here, huh
Well, even though I said that this school was not that big, since it is still a school building, and despite how big it is, a person visiting for the first tio So, I searched for the venue of the examination on the information board
“Hey you, move aside”
Still, there are a lot of students I wonder if there are enough classrooms to fit everyone?
“Hey! You! Did you not hear what I said!?”
Umm, the venue is… ah, found it, found it
“This insolent fool!”
Sorabbed the ar my shoulder and twisted it on the back of the opponent What’s with this guy, being so annoying since earlier?
“Guua! You bastard! What do you think you’re doing? Let go!”
“Since just nohat’s up with you? Why did you suddenly grab another person’s shoulder?”
While releasing his arm, I asked a question, and the cheeky little brat with blond hair and blue eyes started glaring at me
“You bastard! I a!”
“? Okay I’m shi+n”
It suddenly turned into a self-introduction, huh
Suddenly, I heard chuckling noises around us Why is that?
“Yo-you bastard, I a!”
“?? Oo~ Is that so”
“You iainst me like that!?”
I just realized it after he said that This aristocratic younghis authority as a noble, huh I thought ‘no way’ since this is inside the Magic Academy Nevertheless…
“You know, uht there? Isn’t it strictly prohibited to brandish the power of nobility here? I heard there’s a severe punishment for it, you know?”
“They’re only Magic Acadee me!”
Whoa, such a radical statement Didn’t Uncle Dis say these words were tantamount to treason?
Isn’t the situation getting a little out of hand? While I was thinking about that, a voice called out from the side
“That’s enough”
“Mmm! Yo-you are…”
Who is he?
“Brandishi+ng your authority inside the Advanced Magic Acadeician; this is an act which can reap the bud of an excellent Magician, and anyone who breaks this rule will be subjected to severe punishic Academy, it’s supposed to be a Royal Decree”
“Uhh, ell, this is”
Oh? Cart-kun suddenly becaher authority than him?
“Or was that stateainst the Royal Family?”
“N—! There’s no way it’d be so like that!”
“If that’s the case, don’t make any more commotion This place is the venue for the entrance exa to upset anyone”
“Yes… I will certainly heed your words”
Then, he walked ahile giving a gaze full of grudge towards me
Why is that?
“That was quite troublesoht?
“Huh? Ah, I’m absolutely fine I didn’t think there would be soic Academy, so I didn’t realize it at first”
“fukuku, the way you returned with a self-introduction was a masterpiece”
The young boy who looked like a high ranking aristocrat laughed happily His height was about the sarown to 175 centimeters He’s an incredibly handsome boy with ocher-like blonde hair, blue eyes, and should I say porcelain? transparent-like skin
“Even so, although the Advanced Magic Acade their power But when it comes down to it, there are actually still a lot of people ould contradict that rule”
“Ah, I don’t have any relation of authority from my position, and I have doubts whether that can be called as a threat It doesn’t have any persuasive force to it”
“Hmm~, it seems like you’re really quite deviated from society just like I’ve heard”
“Just like you’ve heard?”
From whom?
“Ah, sorry for usto von Earlshi+de People close to s about you from Father”
“Eh!? That means you’re Uncle Dis’s son?”
Oh? The surroundings became silent
“Kukuku, Uncle Dis’s son… This is the first time someone describedbut try and flatter me the moment they find out I’m the Prince”
“Itime now, I’ve always treated Uncle Dis as a relative And since you’re Uncle Dis’s son, doesn’t that make you my cousin? That’s how I feel”
“Kukuku, Ahahahahaha!”
Sohter
“I see, I see, cousin, huh I re whenever I heard various things about you from Father Even if you clai No, rather, I can understand this feeling I see, cousin, huh”
“I’m pleased to know that you somehow accept it with pleasure”
“Hehe, since we finally met like this, I would like to talk a bit o to the examination venue soon?”
“Eh, ah! You’re right It’s tio now”
“Well then, let us work hard together I guess the next ti the entrance ceremony, huh?”
“Haha, I’ll also do my best then Or rather, it’s okay for you to just come to my house to play, you know?”
