Chapter 40 Dublin (1)

The Royal Academy of Knights’ regular exams are held once a month.

Each test offers an equal opportunity, which means that the group to which it belongs may be changed.

Being able to go up or down was also a brake system that prevented students from challenging the test without their own confidence.

Also, thanks to the fact that it is held “publicly” to everyone, a large number of spectators have always flocked to the tests of top-ranked trainees.

I was wondering if I could learn something.

Or Tokyo was one of the reasons, and simple curiosity was one of the reasons.

And as with this year’s first test, this time also began to be given to top-ranked students.

Mike Oldman of the Royal Knights. I will assign individual duties as of now. In addition to the results, the process is included in the assessment, and if you are in a fatal situation, use the horn paid.”

The first were students in Class A who applied for the Royal Order.

They are all at the top of the Academy.

They were so powerful that they wouldn’t be said to be disappointed even if they were working as a knight somewhere right now.

They were given challenging tasks outside the Academy.

It was harsh enough for the trainees to handle, but it was the Royal Knights who could not join if they could not overcome such a wall.

“What the hell is it about?”

“I don’t know what it is, but it’s far from us. Maybe you should beat the Auger Oyster.….”

“Does it make sense? On your own?”

“It’s the Royal Knights. Didn’t you hear that? Sir Mike did it when he was a trainee.

Spectators chatted about the back of those leaving the academy.

It was because they felt like people from another world.

Soon the first group left the academy.

They were not a major concern anyway.

It was because they knew that the gap was to some extent, and that the trainees who applied for the Royal Knights were not subject to comparison at all.

The second group was trainees in class B.

This was the realm of reality.

Trainees with solid basic skills and some practical experience through classes.

The main characters of this event were those who received several offers from a suitable family.

“To be a good knight, mental armament must be accomplished. From now on, your opponent against the sword is the same human being.”

The voice of the royal knight was cool.

The meaning was clear, and there was already explicit tension on the faces of some applicants.

It was only during the Great Battle that they aimed swords at humans.

Avoid lethal attacks, and avoid what is also called a “savage trick.”

Monsters have had enough to deal with, but this is the first time they have ever truly aimed a sword at a human being.

“That’s all you need to know. I’ll leave the rest to your discretion and know that the process is as important as the result.”

That’s all the examiner’s explanation, harshly.

The content of each test that has been held so far has varied, and the students are forced to believe in their own judgment.

“Entering the assigned space.”

The trainees in class B opened the door with a complex expression and entered.

One space per person.

The only people who could see what was in it were the person involved and the tester.

Other trainees didn’t have to face sensitive content already.

Class C students, come this way.

A new tester appeared again.

It was Melissa.

Like the previous examiners, in a seven-star article, the cool appearance was enough to inspire admiration for the viewer.

“There is only one explanation. Focus.”

Twelve applicants listened in unison.

Most showed signs of nervousness. Even the trainees watching.

The test of the students in Class B was hidden from the core contents, but it was not Class C.

This test wasn’t very sensitive.

“Your task is to deal with the enemy, and the enemy is not human. A total of five monsters will swing their teeth and nails at you. You must survive the attack and end the enemy’s life.”

There was a very small admiration among the spectators.

Not enough to break Melissa’s flow.

“But half of you will die here if you bring the real monster back. Fortunately, the things you’re going to deal with are magical fantasies.”

Fantasy

As the expression was about to be relaxed, Melissa immediately added an explanation.

“But when I cut myself, I bleed. When bitten, you will feel pain as if the affected area is about to fall off. It’s a fantasy, but it doesn’t mean there’s no physical damage. But there’s no way you’ll ever be attacked to death.”

It won’t kill you.

However, Melissa explained that all other attacks have the same damage as reality.

As long as it wasn’t an instant death, the Academy’s medical staff would be able to save it, which means it was meaningless unless it was actually a direct hit on the head or heart.

“We take the test one by one. Except for trainee Kepling, the rest of the applicants will be moved to the waiting room.”

That was Melissa’s explanation.

Crowds of people.

With the exception of the named capling, eleven trainees were quietly moved to the waiting room.

Henry and Austin were also included in the interim.

“Henry.”

As soon as he sat down, Austin whispered quietly. It was a voice that would not be heard by other trainees.

“Why?”

“You knew, didn’t you?”

“What do you know?”

“The content of this test. I knew in advance that I would have to deal with monsters. Right? That’s why I started studying suddenly yesterday.”

“How am I supposed to know that?”

“Well?”

“…….”

“Didn’t he figure it out somehow? Henry, if it were you.”

As if searching, a strange smile turned to Henry.

Austin was asking that now.

“Did Russo tell you what it was about in advance.

“I think I know what you’re thinking, but no.”

“As expected, right? You’re not the kind of person to do that. But if it wasn’t, how’d he know?”

“I didn’t know.”

“No, Henry. I think it’s time to reveal my secret! Actually, I’m only telling you, but my eyes are a bit unique.”

“……?”

Henry looked at Austin like a madman.

Austin nodded vigorously.

“Yes, I have a secret in my eyes. If you’ve got the blood of Duke Rodrick, you’ve got it all.”

“I think you’re out of your mind with too much tension.”

“No, Henry. I’m telling you.”

“That’s what I’m saying. In this situation, I can’t believe you’re telling me the secrets of your family. I’m sure it’s gone crazy.”

As soon as Austin brought it up in the first place, Henry knew this was real.

It wasn’t common when a madman had serious eyes.

And, of course, Henry had a hunch that this was a top secret to Duke Rodrick.

“That’s what friends are for, Henry. We’re a relationship that reveals everything without hiding.”

“Did you get permission?”

“I don’t care about that. There’s no one in the family to be seen. Aren’t you more curious than that? What kind of ability do you have?”

“I’m not curious.”

“Why?”

“That’s what friends are for. Relationships that avoid situations that are damaging to each other as much as possible.”

“I swear, Henry. If this is revealed, there is no damage to me.”

“Why?”

“Because I don’t think I should avoid it.”

Henry was speechless.

I can’t believe I was so pure-minded.

But he couldn’t stay still.

[What a nut job][He’s going to tell me when I ask him]

Can I ask you this? I don’t think I can sleep tonight because I’m curious.

The viewers’ response was amazing.

Ever since I entered this test site.

Henry had left the broadcast on with a moderately provocative title.

Class B promotion test.

It’s even the first time dealing with monsters.

That’s even weirder if you didn’t turn on the broadcast.

I can’t help it.’

This has to be asked.

It wasn’t just because of the response from the chat window.

[Fan ID] donated 10,000 won!>

From this moment on, this question is worth 200,000 won.

“……so what?”

“I can see through lies.”

“In every case?”

“There’s a complicated antecedents. This is annoying, so I’ll explain it later.”

“What’s the principle?”

“Because I can see the flow of Mana. Mana doesn’t only move when you wield a weapon. Even when I say something like this, Mana is shaking. I think it’s the only people in my family who can see this.”

I see the flow of mana.

Henry hesitated at the expression.

“…I can always see the flow of Mana?”

“It’s natural to be surprised. But you can’t always see it. I can’t explain why, but there are times when Mana shakes when someone tells a lie. That’s the only time I can see it visually.”

“…….”

“One time my father said that, too. Our eyes are the biggest reason why Duke Rodrick was able to get here.”

[Fan ID] donated 200,000 won!>

“This is real?”

The promised reward was given.

Henry was feeling the same way.

This is true, and Henry learned at this moment the secret of Duke Rodrick, who had been handed down from generation to generation.

“……okay. So you noticed what I said was a lie?”

“That was a very big reaction, Henry. Oh, let me add one thing: the more important the secret is to the other, the more responsive the person is. It’s something that’s really precious to you, isn’t it?”

It was true.

Broadcasting is now irreplaceable to Henry.

Austin shrugged his shoulders.

“I’m not going to ask you any more. I realized it was that important. Actually, that’s why I brought up my secret. I thought I’d need this much to make sure I meant it.”

“I’ll have to pay you back. You’re lying. I knew, and it had nothing to do with anyone inside and outside the academy. I figured it out.”

“As expected!”

Austin nodded as if he was in awe.

It meant that it was only Henry’s own ability without anyone’s help.

At that point, it was right to assume that Henry had more special powers than denial.

“That’s your… hidden move, isn’t it? Like my eyes. I don’t know exactly what kind of ability it is.”

“That’s all I can say.”

“Enough.”

Austin nodded as if savoring.

It was already interesting enough, and he was in love with something beyond his common sense.

What if we get to know Henry’s abilities here?

It only consumed the pleasure of being able to taste it over and over again.

Then a second applicant was called.

After waiting for the student to get out, Austin whispered to Henry again.

“There’s actually one more secret, Henry. I’ll tell you if you want this one.”

“I’m not curious…….”

[Fan ID] sponsored 100,000 won!>

“I’m curious. What is it?”

“You’re not the first to see this today.”

“There are a few people. Of course not.”

Lying was more common than I thought.

That includes, for example, the excuse of being nothing.

But that’s not the kind of thing Austin is trying to say.

“I told you, didn’t I? The stronger the intention to hide, the bigger the wave of Mana. And I’m not talking about the shakers who used to fill the area. Someone who could influence me in any way.”

“…who is it?”

Now Henry was honestly curious.

Someone who could influence Austin.

Doesn’t it mean that even those who met today have a clear relationship with this test?

“Sir Melissa, a seven-star knight with a record in the Royal Knights, who is in charge of our examination.”

The moment Austin smiled and said.

An explosive response came back from the chat window, followed by Henry’s actions.

“At exactly what moment?”

“The moment I said it was a fantasy. The monster we’re dealing with.”
