Final Trial of Mankind

Therefore, all the students participating in the magic competition festival, as well as the lecturers in charge of each class, want to win no matter what...the one with such high fighting spirit is this magic competition festival for the second graders.

Among them, the second class of the second year—the class that Glenn was in charge of was very popular in the academy.

But there is no way to do it. Anyway, under such circumstances, all the students in the class are actually allowed to participate, regardless of their academic performance.

Glenn gave up the victory and defeat. As expected of a man who disregards the pride of a magician, but I really envy Mr. Glenn's class where all the members can participate. No, wait, isn't this kind of enthusiasm disrespectful to Her Majesty the Queen?

... During this week, various whispers have been scattered here and there.

Among them, Glenn challenged Halley, and the bet that they would give three months' salary if they win each other was particularly eye-catching.

That being said, there were also strange gazes gathered, but no one had any expectations for Glenn's class in charge, and no one thought that it would really be a victory or defeat.

Then, the time for the competition festival finally arrived, and the students with their rapiers hanging from their waists, which were used as duel dresses, assembled in the central field to start the opening ceremony of the magic competition festival.

The opening lines, the singing of the national anthem, the speeches of all stakeholders, and the oaths of the contestants represented by the students—the opening ceremony was solemnly carried out.

Afterwards, together with Her Majesty's encouraging words, the Magic Competition Festival finally kicked off.

Of course, this series of etiquettes that Mu Chen hates, Mu Chen hates the most, so he never appeared on formal occasions, Queen Alicia would not care anyway, not to mention, he is not from this country people.

It's just that Alicia gave him quite a lot of convenience, so Mu Chen wouldn't rely on his own strength to beat the whole world and just act recklessly.

"Really, is there such a gentle demon king like me in this world?"

Looking at the sky, Mu Chen murmured while looking at the sun in the sky.

Indeed, compared to those who are the protagonists who must open the harem, open the unparalleled, and unscrupulously use the advantages of their familiar plots to mess around in those worlds, apart from being a little cold-blooded, Mu Chen really doesn't seem to have much. The appearance of the devil king is inside.

However, no one ever said that a demon king must be cruel.

The cruelty of the devil king is just people's imagination, it is not necessary for others to say what kind of devil Mu Chen wants to be.

Isn’t there a demon king like Shiroyasha in Hakoniwa who loves everything in Hakoniwa so much that he is even willing to sacrifice his eternal freedom to seal the absolutely evil Azi Dahaka.

034 Glenn: The Man Born Under the Stars

The source of that burst of applause was mainly from the students who failed to participate in the competition festival. Although they were not in the same class as the second class led by Glenn, they might have gained some empathy in a certain aspect.

"Squad [-] who competed for one of the top spots was overtaken at the end, and the situation turned around—! 』

No. 1 is of course led by Harrow. Compared with the first class, which was evaluated as a sure winner, the struggle of the second class, which is not surprising if it loses, attracted more attention from the venue.

On the other hand, in the stand-by auditorium for the classes participating in the competition festival.

"Successful, it's amazing! Teacher, the three of you are amazing! Mr. Luo and Mr. Kai are the three after adding you!?"

【It's not a lie...】

Beside Rumia, who clapped her hands happily, Glenn stared blankly at one place. In front of his eyes, Rhodes and Kay, who were fighting hard with the other class players who are good flying magicians, also clapped their hands to share their joy.

【...No, never thought that it would be possible to do this kind of thing...】

That's what I said, but if I think about it calmly, this result is actually a matter of course.

Flying magic that flies in the air, with a dedicated auxiliary flying magic device——Although the broom-shaped airflow operation magic device was widely used in the past, the current mainstream is the ring-shaped anti-gravity operation magic device— Casting, chanting the black magic [Levitate · Fly] spell to activate the magic.

The event where such flying magic techniques are used to compete is the "Flying Competition". This time, the "Flying Competition" is to fly a total of [-] people in a relay along a five-kilometer route in the set academy area. Circle rules.

If it was just one lap, explosive power would be more important, but twenty laps would become a protracted battle that consumes a lot of mana and brings a lot of fatigue.

Originally, flying magic, which is very difficult to maintain and control, especially requires keen concentration. If you want to achieve good results under this condition, you must practice repeatedly and make strict rhythm allocation countless times in advance.

During the week, people who practiced only one game performed better in practice and accuracy related to rhythm distribution than those who had to practice multiple games in their free time, or who had no time to practice at all. There will inevitably be a gap.

In fact, because Rhodes and Kai were far worse than other players in their foundations, they had been hovering at the bottom of the first half. Without the rhythm, everything stalled and self-destructed, and there was even a result that the magic power was exhausted and fell off halfway.

Perhaps the inertial thinking brought about by the "flying competition" of last year's extremely short-distance races was also the cause of this disaster.

Due to various reasons, in the end the second class of fisherman managed to collect good results.

Well, although the protagonist may not be very lucky in normal times, his luck will be very good at critical moments.

Mu Chen, who recalled the things in this world, obviously remembered who the protagonist of this world is.

Moreover, whether it's anime or novels, as long as there is such a large-scale competition, there will definitely be a situation where the male lead has to get the first place, and the male lead will come out and pretend to be aggressive.

Mu Chen has seen through this kind of plot.

For example, in the anime "The Irregular Student at Magic High School", at the beginning of the Nine Schools Battle, Mu Chen had already guessed that the male protagonist would definitely shine in some form in the end.

Although it is impossible for the male protagonist of this anime to appear in person as a lecturer, there will definitely be a plot in which he plays pretending to be aggressive.

【Yeah, well, although I did say that it is absolutely impossible to greatly increase the flying speed within a week, so let me do rhythm distribution exercises...】

Didn't expect it to be so effective.

"It's a good start, teacher!" Sistina also blushed and said excitedly to Glenn.

"I was listening to the practice of ignoring the training of increasing the flying speed and only doing the exercise of rhythm distribution. I thought about what kind of basket... Could it be that this development has long been included in the teacher's calculations?"

"...D-Of course!"

Well, in fact, this is just a swollen face to pretend to be fat, and it is wrong to be wrong.

After all, the other party was the annoying Sistina who was usually arrogant like a street aunt, and if she was given such an expression of admiration, that was the only answer she could make.

"The reason why I did this is because I have already foreseen the inherent cognition of the "flying competition" that has spread throughout this academy... Anyway, this time the "flying competition" is to use the [Levitate · Fly)]’s incantation, to compete in a total of [-] laps with a two-person relay of five kilometers per lap, and of course explosive power is more important if it’s just one lap—”

Glenn, who finally noticed the pitfall hidden in the victory and defeat, and explained it in a tone as if he understood it from the beginning, always felt that he was too inferior.

This is how Glenn feels about himself.

"—The rest is to wait for the guys who didn't grasp the rhythm to kill themselves, so the instructions I gave are actually very simple, even if you die, you must grasp the rhythm... Phew, it's really an easy job what."

Leaning deeply on the seat with his legs crossed, one palm covering his adequate expression, and a maniacal smile leaking between his fingers, he gave birth to (just looking) the atmosphere of a real great strategist.

Then, the students who heard Glenn's belated explanation were completely confused and began to cast him in awe.

"Or, maybe we..."

"Ah...impossible...I think so, but if there is a teacher around, maybe it is true..."

[No, you guys.Don't look at me with such pure eyes full of expectation.It will cause angina. 】

Then, on the opposite side of the auditorium aisle, the students of Class [-] who had lost at the last minute started bickering with the students of Class [-].

"...Hmm! It's just that I'm so proud of winning once in a while..."

"It's not accidental! All of this is Teacher Glenn's plan!"

"That's right! After all, you are just some little caterpillars played by Mr. Glenn in the applause!"

"You, what are you talking about!? Goo... The second class of bastards, you are so arrogant! From now on, our fourth class will defeat your second class first! Be prepared!"

"Be careful to be killed by us! After all, we have Teacher Glenn here!"

"Ah, as long as the teacher is here, we will never lose!"

[No, you guys.Really shut up.Don't continue to help me increase the difficulty, please. 】

Glenn was in a cold sweat.

"That... teacher? You seem to have a bad face? Is that... all right?"

"Ah, Rumia... only you are an oasis in my heart..."

"...?"

Rumia tilted her head in a daze as she looked at Glenn who was looking extremely haggard for some reason.

--------------------------------

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Celika, the magician professor at the academy who was granted the honor of being allowed to sit in the queen's VIP seat, knocked her knees in front of Her Majesty the queen and laughed selflessly because of the end of the "flying competition" that no one could have expected.

On other occasions, it is not surprising that this is an act of violence on the spot.

In fact, Eleanor, the head maid waiting behind the queen, frowned openly, and Zelos, who was patrolling around the VIP seats, and the royal guards also stared at Celica unhappily.

However, this is nothing to this free-spirited female magician who dominates the top of the mainland.

"It's so rude, Celica, this is His Majesty, isn't it disrespectful to laugh like that?" Rick, the head of the academy who was sitting at the same VIP seat, rebuked Celica mixedly with a sigh.

"Ah-no, sorry. I'm sorry, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Having said that, Celica didn't show any real introspection at all.

"Master Celika, no matter how you say it, it's too much to use that kind of tone of mouth to His Majesty..."

As expected, Eleanor, who couldn't let go easily, gave her advice——

"It's okay, Eleanor!"

Her Majesty—— Alicia smiled softly, completely unaffected by Celica's nonchalant attitude.

"She is an old acquaintance of mine, a friend who has taken care of me since I was a child, and this time is not a public visit as the Queen of the Arzano Empire, but just to meet the young people who support the future of the Empire Don’t be too strict about making a private interview as Alicia, a citizen of the Empire, with an undisguised original posture.”

"Even so, Your Majesty, this is still related to the dignity of our academy..."

"It's not the state guest style of the guest welcome ceremony, but the VIP style, right? Look, I'm not the big man you have to unilaterally accept now?"

"This, this is too much, I am terrified... um..."

Rick pressed his temple in trouble.

"You look very happy, Celica!"

"Ah, I'm so happy, Alice!"

Celica responded to Alicia's childhood nickname.

"It's really heart-warming. Recently, the magic sports festival only pursues the winner. This downright boring trend is really annoying. They do stupid things like letting only people with excellent results appear in order to win. Really, the so-called "festival" What the hell is it, don’t think with your feet, but use your brain a little bit.” Serikakuku said with a smile as if she couldn’t stand it.

"However, the strategic vision of the lecturer named Glenn is really powerful."

Alicia had already heard from Celica about the traps hidden in this victory.

"How~~~It's impossible! That guy probably hasn't considered anything~~~ at all."

But Celica flatly denied that.

"Whether it's choosing all 40 members of the class to compete together, or the tactics that emphasize rhythm distribution, it's all just a coincidence. It's really just a coincidence that happens occasionally. After all, that guy is basically a mortal no matter what, just enough Work hard on this advantage." Celica continued, "Obviously just a mortal, and obviously nothing but mortals, that guy has been doing unexpected things for some reason. Maybe he was born under the star in charge of this area That’s why. It’s been like this for a long time. Isn’t it? Your Majesty the Queen?”
