I left the dormitory with Liza.

“Good morning. The weather is good today.”

A beautiful white haired pony girl was waiting for me at the door. It’s Iris, aka Iris Philia. The other way around. Oh well, that’s okay.

“Are you meeting someone here?”

“I’ve been waiting for you. The circumstances being what they are, I don’t see what else it could be.”

That’s true. She doesn’t have any friends, does she? Except for me. I can’t speak for the rest of us. Then, Iris turned to look behind me.

“What is that child?”

“She’s an attendant? Liza.”

“Why a question? Well, I’m Hart’s friend, Iris. Regards.”

Liza looked at me once at the hand that was somewhat proudly offered to her. I nodded and she shook her hand with reservation.

“Nice to meet you”

Immediately, Iris’s face strengthened.

“…Yes. Well, if it’s Hart’s attendant, that’s possible.”

She said something meaningful and let go of her hand.

“By the way, what class are you, Hart?”

“C”

Iris’s expression became cloudy.

“I’m in A, so we are not together.”

“Ah, isn’t A the class with the highest grade? You had the best writing, but the overall grade was barely right?”

“Yeah. I was a little bit curious too. I asked around, and I found out that the priority for class placement is based on the written test results. It seems that even if you have a poor performance in the practical skills, you would still be allowed to do so to a limited extent.”

I don’t know, but this fellow must be something great as long as the stopped magic level is raising. It’s a very good idea to know what to expect, or so Professor Tia says. For the time being, the classes are different, however, the buildings seem to be the same. So, I’ll leave the guidance to Iris and take a short walk to the classroom. 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎

“Who is she?”

Liza asked in a whisper.

“Did you not just introduce yourself?”

“It’s not that……”

Liza gazed at Iris as she walked forward. fre𝙚𝓌𝒆𝚋noѵel.c𝚘m

“Is she even a human?”

My blue eyes shined mysteriously.

“… Even a demon?”

Liza turned her eyebrows into the figure eight.

“Outwardly, I don’t see any elements of demon race. But, there’s something about the quality of the magic power that’s… off.”

Is there a pattern where you can’t see it with your clothes? However, she once tried to expose it to others. Of course, she was hesitant because she was a girl, and as a matter of course, demons would never do it. Well, frankly, I don’t care if Iris is a demon race or not.

“I don’t care.”

“Yeah, no matter who she is, she’s not a match for Hart-sama.”

It doesn’t mean that, though.

While talking, Iris arrived at her classroom. When I peeked inside, there is Ragaman. I left before he saw me and headed to the classroom at the end of the corridor.

(Ragaman= rugby player, but why author? why??)

Only to find that the attendants were not allowed in the classroom. I’m sorry Liza, but I’m going to have you pass the time around there. I said that she should go home, but it seems that there is resistance to go through the “everywhere door” alone.

Now.

The classroom was stair-stepped, with the teacher table at the bottom. There were three rows of long desks, five tiers, that could hold three people in a row. I sat a little near the top door. My homeroom teacher is a dull old man.

My classmates seemed to be watching me from afar, and I was completely alone. They all seemed to be afraid of touching the swollen thing, or rather, they were afraid to grab the beehive.

(He’s referring himself as a beehive, when he won against the noble kid, others began being scared of him)

Well, there are various rumors. Especially with Schneider’s disappearance, there are suspicions that I’m involvement. When I’m called out again on campus, though, I’ve managed it so far through ignorance and denial. I finished introducing myself without incident. I didn’t listen to anyone at all. I’m going to be dropout from this class soon, so there’s no point in making friends with them.

“Let’s start the class when self-introduction is over”

The dull teacher started handing out paper.

“You are aware that your grades are in the middle of the pack, aren’t you? Whether you can go up or down in the future, it largely determined by how you spend your time from the entrance exam to now.”

Hmm? Then, it means.

“What have you been doing since the entrance exam? If you were idle, you will soon fall to the bottom. Today, in the first lesson after admission, I will measure your capability at the present stage.”

That old man looked like he’s harmless and does some nasty stuff. It’s a so-called unannounced test. However, a big chance appeared that I couldn’t hope for. If I didn’t do well on this test, I could easily be certified as a failing student. The students in the distance handed me the exam papers, horrifyingly. You don’t have to be scared, right? I’ll say goodbye soon.

“So, get started”

With the signal, I was excited to look at the exam questions.

…………that?

Read it again.

Yup. that’s strange. It’s not so easy, right?

Thus is the range that the young Charl was learning in the first half year after starting the education for the talented. It’s a little more difficult than that, but I can generally answer with a booger. I didn’t know from the words in the question sentence in the test that Professor Tia conducted personally just before admission.

“I see.”

That dull homeroom teacher, who was threatening earlier, actually has the intention of reassuring everyone with simple basic problems. I complimented him inwardly while ranking him higher. That’s the educational policy.

Then, how to deal with it is difficult. If you make so many mistakes in such a simple problem, it is suspected to be intentional. I’m still the son of a frontier count. A little education is natural. In fact, I couldn’t even keep up with my sister. So, it is necessary to find the lowest level line of this school.

…… Is it about 60%? It’s about the correct answer rate. If that is the case, then it should be regarded as a level of “I’m sure it’s not intentional, but in this school, it’s a bit…”.

Hmmmmm. There is also magic power calculation. It’s easy to formulate, so it’s better to make mistakes in the calculation and keep the score down. Hoho. It’s a combination of multiple attributes. You may think it’s complicated like conflicts, but it’s actually easy to do because the pattern is fixed. However, I can get a point deducted here too.

I solved it smoothly. I put down my pen and carefully reviewed it. Yes, it’s perfect.

“So, please collect the answer sheets”

I gave the paper to someone who was far away with a light footstep. Eventually, all the answer sheets were gathered, and the homeroom teacher checked each one lightly. After looking through the sheets, he looked around the classroom.

“Everyone looks anxious. Did I frighten you a little too much?”

Hmm? What, guys, was it too easy for you to be worried about the opposite?

“The results are … unfavorable. The blanks are conspicuous. Even if you filled in the blanks, you could tell that you were in distress.”

The homeroom teacher continued to look straight after a gruesome smile.

“I think that this test will have a tough time in class B. Is it going to be 50% on average? But if it is class A, 80% can be expected on average. You understand the meaning? ”

Yeah, I don’t understand at all. No no no that? Was it just super easy for me?

“Yes, the difference in ability between the classes increases as you go up. Prince Rias and other children who have been studying since their childhood are superior to you due to that. If you want to get to A class, half-hearted efforts are not enough, right?”

This dull old man gave a smile.

“In such a situation, there is a person who answered correctly about 60% of the time. There are a few careless mistakes, but the level of ability is at the level where there is no problem to go to the A class right now.”

The homeroom teacher glittered his eyes. Why are you pointing those glittery eyes at me?

“Hart Zenphis, it’s wonderful! After all, he is just recommended by His Majesty the King. However, the review should be done a little more carefully.”

This uncle is showing a surprisingly cute smile.

“I knew he was a great guy.”

“I can’t believe I’m in the same class.”

“But, you’ll be right up here.”

“I wanted to be more together”

Great misunderstandings from people. Isn’t this an elite school? Even though it’s the middle level, are they all that much?

No. Is that so? The level of the people here is not low. I’m sure my younger sister, who had easily passed this level when she was younger, is too good.

Charl, how good are you…..

“Let me recommend Hart Zenphis-kun so that he can move up to the B class…….no, A class in the next examination.”

Because my sister was too good, in the first class after entering the school. I received a high score.
