85 CHAPTER III QUICK EXAMINATION (2/2)
You're lucky you got the time to spare. Totally.
Well, even if you're given a grade school level test now, right?
One hour later
How did it go?
When the test was over, I went straight to Frank and Hermann to see how well I did.
”I think I did pretty good. Leo is ...... No, we can afford it anyway, so let's not do it.
'I had plenty of time! You're not gonna ask, ”What about Herman? How was Herman?
'Master ...... please stay close to me next year even if we're in a different class?'
Herman asked in a broken voice as if he was about to die.
Where was your energy before it started?
'You're not ready! I'll just study for the next year and I'll be fine!
But .......
Okay! We'll have a study group every day from now on. You're not busy in your dorm anyway. We'll meet at Frank's place.
Yeah, that should solve all our problems.
What? Do it in Leo's room.
That's good. It's a big place, right?
No, it's just Leo's room.
Oh, well, you don't need to worry about all that stuff.
Well, wherever it is, I'll teach you what I know, and you'll be good for a year.
It's only grade school content, so it's not too difficult to understand.
''Master~! I'm going to serve my master for the rest of my life.
Herman was crying and clinging to me.
It's still heavy: .......
Let's distract him with something else.
'Oh, isn't the next test going to be swordsmanship, so isn't that Hellman's show?
'Oh, yes! If I get a two hundred on the sword test, I might be able to make it!
Two hundred points is ...... a perfect score of one hundred in all subjects, right?
******
Then we'll begin the swordplay test. It is simple. Have your instructors here deal with you and grade you. Then we'll go through them in turn.
Oh, so the real thing is a real battle.
Well, I'll go.
Hermann, whose scores are in trouble if he doesn't make up for it with his swordsmanship, has announced himself as the top batter.
Oh, you're in high spirits. Oh, I'm feeling fine.
A man of about thirty with a beard, probably a teacher from another grade, was Hermann's partner .
”Yes, sir. I'll give it my best shot, if you give me a good score.
Haha, that's a matter of opinion.
Before the doctor could finish, Hermann's sword struck him in the gut.
Oh, I'm sorry! They told me not to hold back.
What! It's no big deal! Now, come on!
He stood up and took a stance.
Hey, you're a swordsmanship teacher.
You have to learn how to get hit too.
Okay, I'm going!
And with that declaration, Herman started again.
'Yes! Guha!
Yeah, it was instantaneous.
Well, the idea of skipping out on Hermann doesn't exist.
Yeah, well, there's no way.
Sir, what was that?
Herman walks up to the teacher, listening to the scores.
'Hiya, I got a hundred. ......
Stop him already!
Doctor, he's terribly scared of Hermann.
What? Two hundred points ”Excuse me! I'll do the next one!
It's too much trouble for him to continue, so I interrupt him.
”Oh, Master! I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. I'll be leaving now.
Yeah, he's giving up.
Okay, I'll go for it in moderation.
'Just give me a second: ...... for a little while.'
Oh, yes.
Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
And then we'll wait a bit.
All right, come on. Come on in!
Finally, the doctor is feeling better.
Yes, sir.
I have to go easy on him: .......
I don't want to end up like Hermann, so I'll attack at a speed that the teacher will just barely be able to avoid.
Oh, that's a good one. Go ahead and try to attack me.
I understand.
Yeah, that's about right.
If we keep doing this, will we end up with no problems?
All right, let's keep going like this until the doctor gives the signal to stop.
Five minutes later
Tired?
Tired? Are they checking to see how strong they are?
Well, let's be honest.
No, I'm not tired.
Yeah, right. ...... ku!
What's that ...... teacher's face seems to be getting sterner and sorer. .......
'About time, Guha!'
Oh, I did it: .......
But I think it was the teacher's fault for losing focus in the middle of the fight.
Yeah, that's right. It's probably not my fault.
