XXXIV.

After Lina showed overwhelming force, truly worthy of a candidate, five additional candidates were called for competency evaluation.

First, the fourteenth candidate, Hanna Ygdram’s opponent, was a wyvern. A white wyvern with cold properties that is difficult to obtain.

However, the problem is that they appear in groups, not just one.

The goal was to protect the scarecrow that appeared behind Hanna Yggdram while fighting off a swarm of white wyverns. for 30 minutes.

To conclude, Hannah Yggdram ‘failed.’

Although he did not lose his life like Eva de Evian, he was unable to protect the scarecrow behind him, and he was thrown out the moment the scarecrow was destroyed by the wyvern’s cold brass.

and,

“Failed.”

Hanna Ygdram, who failed for the first time and survived, showed how a candidate who simply thirsts for survival ends up.

“Huh? Ugh!! Argh!”

Hanna Ygdram let out a loud scream as if the heart of a living person was being forcibly removed.

And then the fist-sized orb that Gray had seen before emerged and settled in one of the bubbles of light that maintained the ceiling of the stadium.

While Ithon Ramnu’s was bright white and Eva de Evian’s was light green, the orb from Hanna Ygdram’s body was burning red.

Even at the moment when the candidates were unable to escape their shock and fear, Dean Hu’s voice continued without any sympathy or pity.

“Preparing for the next candidate.”

The seventeenth candidate who was summoned to the stadium with the Dean’s declaration was The Berserker. It was Dylan de Marc.

When the battle broke out, he went into a frenzy like a Berserker, and his opponent was a Death Knight with black armor and radiating the aura of death.

This is not a Death Knight created by a necromancer, but a Death Knight created by itself through the condensation of the energy of death.

The reason Berserker is scary is because he attacks minor wounds by increasing his combat power. However, the opponent is Death Knight. Rather, he is a being who is not afraid of getting hurt even more than Berserker.

“The evaluation method is “couple”. If you cause significant injury to the opponent, you pass.”

The battle ended in an instant when Dylan de Marc lost one of his arms. The Death Knight’s black force tore Dylan’s body into pieces in an instant.

And Dean Hu granted Death Knight’s wish, just as he had previously done with Lich.

I sincerely wish that you please kill me.

After that, three candidates were eliminated one after another.

The twelfth candidate, Millie Philippe, saved her life in the test by shouting ‘give up’ just as the ‘annihilation’ condition was running out.

The problem is that the moment Millie Philippe chose the option of giving up, the faces of some candidates changed.

just as expected.

The eleventh candidate, Jake de Ignis, and the fifth candidate, Alfie de Sporting, who were called in succession, gave up on the exam as soon as the dean said anything after the evaluation condition was “annihilation.”

Moments after the evaluation of eight candidates, a quarter of the thirty-two candidates, was completed, the dean called a break for 30 minutes, and the audience(?) was in total chaos.

“This… … ?”

“Alternative… … !”

.

.

It was a word with multiple meanings.

I couldn’t have expected that the so-called candidates would die like this,

I was embarrassed because there were ‘real nobles’ among the dead candidates.

Because I did not expect that I would regain my existing power just because I failed the competency evaluation,

With all these situations coming at once, even the nobles had no idea what to complain about first.

In such noise, more than half of the candidates who had not yet been evaluated took out communication artifacts and urgently sent messages somewhere, making the noise even louder.

And before the short 30 minutes were over,

“Hello. Candidates? These are buffalo wings from Jokgashio Trading Company.”

A deliciously named employee of a commercial company with a strange name appeared before the candidates. In terms of real speed, it is as fast as any other nation.

“Here are the items delivered to the candidates.”

The ‘Buffalo Wings’ of the Join tribe, who put down small pouches in front of each candidate, quickly moved away by moving their wings just as they had when they arrived.

“Start again.”

And then, as if he had been waiting, Dean Hu resumed the evaluation.

“Preparation for next candidate.”

The ninth candidate to be called for competency evaluation was:

“Oh my?”

“Candidate Olivia de Prime Alfonso.”

“Yes.”

Olivia de Prime Alfonso.

She was the 6th princess of the Alfonso Empire and a female candidate nicknamed ‘the strategist of the divine mountain.’

And Olivia became the first candidate to pass the competency evaluation after Lina.

◈ ◈ ◈

Even I remembered when a candidate first appeared from the royal family of Alfonso, the Empire of the Knights.

Cresti, a city of gypsies, was also in an uproar due to the incident at the time, so what must the continent have been like?

The Emperor of the Alfonso Empire even assured at a banquet that it would not be long before he conquered the Clitton Empire.

Moreover, the ability that Princess Olivia developed was an ability close to battlefield control. The soldiers under her command displayed combat power that was close to 1.5 times their existing strength.

After confirming that her existing Force core disappeared and her Spirit core blossomed upon awakening, the horoscopes said that she must have had the same abilities as the warlords who only appeared in the early days of the ancient continent.

“What do you think?”

“Hmm~? There is no enemy more scary than an unreliable commander~.”

The clown continued his sentence and simply evaluated Princess Olivia.

The moment Princess Olivia passed the evaluation, the spectators watching – nobles, to be exact – cheered loudly and clapped their hands.

And I could no longer continue my appreciation or evaluation of Princess Olivia.

“Preparation for next candidate.”

As soon as I heard the Dean’s voice, my vision turned white.

“Candidate Gray.”

Unlike what you see from the outside, when you enter the stadium, the light outside the stadium appears to be scattered and you can’t tell the difference.

Maybe this is why the candidates turned out so poorly?

“Candidate Gray is assessed twice for competency.”

“Huh?”

I was about to ask where something like that was, but I didn’t. No, it couldn’t be done.

This is because the clown who was always, always, and at any moment by his side after awakening moved out of the stadium. This may sound obvious, but not voluntarily, but by force.

“What are you doing?”

After coming out of my mouth, the voice towards the dean was so cold, scary, and full of hostility that it surprised even me.

“The first evaluation method is “annihilation”.”

However, Dean Hu treated me like any other candidate and only said what he had to say.

As soon as he finished speaking, the being that appeared before me was a human being. female. That too,

“Hmm~? Are you really saying that you will give this to Amelia just by getting rid of this wet-smelling little boy? Can I trust you~?”

She was a woman who knew how to be quite sexy.

‘Just this?’

While I was thinking about this, I heard someone shouting.

“It’s that bitch! Amelia Dyer! A vicious pedophile!!”

I don’t know who it was, but the message that she was a bad bitch was clearly conveyed. I decided to listen to the explanation later, and as soon as I took out the spear from my magic bag and held it, I kicked it on the floor.

Pachick—!

With a pleasant thunderous roar, the spear stretched out like a snake seeking its prey.

“Huh?! oh? Fuck? You almost fell, right?”

And I don’t know what the principle is, but there was no flow of divine power at all, and a woman named Amelia appeared at the end of the stadium, avoiding the spear.

“This is expensive!”

With that, Amelia roughly pulled off her headdress and threw it on the floor.

“So, you little girl who may have just had a wet dream, why don’t you give in to temptation? Because I will kill you so hard.”

Amelia said something incomprehensible and glared at me. The moment those eyes turned pink, my annoyance turned into a dirty mood, and I unconsciously lowered the spear I was holding.

What kind of sign did you see that as?

Amelia smiled bitterly and stretched out her arms towards me,

“Now, why don’t you come here and stick your neck out? I wonder what your blood tastes like.”

They say bullshit like this.

“Is this some kind of play?”

I was so dumbfounded that I later asked the dean that question. Dean Hu didn’t say anything, but he could clearly tell that it wasn’t a play.

“You, you, you! What!”

Because of the screams made by a woman named Amelia.

“How can you stay away from temptation? Is this bloodline magic?”

Only then did I realize that Amelia had done something to me and that it was some kind of seduction or deception.

The moment I realized that fact, even though I was in the middle of a battle, I desperately wanted to get over this part.

“Ha… . you… . Have you always looked at something like a mirror?”

“Of course!”

“Look carefully. Do you see that attractive woman over there with red hair, violent breasts, and a dizzying body?”

He asked that question, pointing to a clown standing close to the wall of light bubbles that separate the stadium from the outside.

“Um, what is that bitch?!!”

“First of all, I will give you an explanation and make you pay for what you said carelessly. If it were you, which would you rather be ‘tempted’ or ‘enchanted’ by, you with a lot of makeup or that attractive girl over there?”

“Ah… ?”

The woman who made stupid noises for a moment,

“This, this, this!! Boggie! ”

He soon realized what I meant and struggled.

“Of course, there are those who sometimes look for delicacies, but those are delicacies, and you!”

He finished with the words ‘You!’ and kicked the floor again. Once again, the pleasant sound of ‘Pachik!’ rang around the spear, and then without any noise, the spear sank into the woman’s thigh.

“It’s at the level of food waste, right?”

With that evaluation in mind, let’s roughly pull out the spear.

“Aaaah! Ahhh!”

He falls to the floor and screams.

“Where and to whom does this orc-looking bitch refer to ‘that bitch’?”

Not forgetting that I dared to call the clown ‘that bitch’ earlier, I plunged the spear into the other healthy thigh and pulled it out.

“There is no time limit on this “annihilation” method, right?”

I asked Dean Hu that question, and Dean Hu nodded without hiding his puzzled expression. Reluctantly.

“You have a lot of time? I’m curious too. Your blood. Oh, I’m saying this because I’m afraid you may misunderstand. I’m not curious about taste like you. How many stab wounds does it take to die? Well, that’s what I’m curious about. A scholar’s perspective?”

Deeply… Puff puk -.

The fleshy part was pierced with a spear,

Jeok-. Sigh!

Places where there was no flesh, such as ankles or wrists, were broken in an uneven manner.

Screams turned into sobs, and sobs turned into pleas, and Amelia’s body began to bleed, break, or be torn to pieces until she died of excessive blood loss.

“Huh? What is it?”

The moment Amelia’s breath expired, the rag-like corpse in front of her disappeared,

“Candidate Gray. Pass your first competency assessment.”

As soon as the dean’s declaration was made,

“Wow!!”

“Fuck! It’s so fucking cool!!”

“Aaaah!!”

.

.

For some reason, incomprehensible cheers poured from the top of my head.

Dean Hu looked at Gray, who had an expression on his face that said he didn’t know what was going on, and felt a bit absurd, not to mention absurd.

Amelia Dyer.

Full name is Amelia Elizabeth Dyer.

A continent-famous pedophile, serial killer of infants, and half-man, half-horse.

That woman’s level was at best expert level.

However, the blood of the demon succubus flowing through Amelia’s body allowed her to commit all kinds of evil acts and live leisurely in the underworld despite her low level of inaction.

Because useful men in the underworld took care of protecting her.

In fact, Amelia’s wish upon being called here was for her power to become stronger. So that even quasi-superhumans cannot escape.

Even before he dealt with such a ‘prodigal woman’ without the slightest hesitation, Dean Hu was praising Gray. But to have the prodigal woman’s mouth come out pleading, ‘Please kill me.’

Looking at Gray, Dean Hu now seemed to understand why he wanted to start an argument.

“You call this homophobia?”

It was only for a moment that I thought nonsense.

In fact, Dean Hu doesn’t understand why, but from the moment he woke up this morning, he automatically knew what he had to do here.

Things like the summoned opponent, their wish, and evaluation method.

Of course, I had no idea about the order in which candidates were evaluated, but I only knew that Gray, unlike other candidates, had to be evaluated ‘twice’.

reason? How could you possibly know such a thing?

Even if Dean Hu is a Circle 9 superman, there is no way he would know what God himself is doing.

“Begin the second evaluation of Candidate Gray.”

Afterwards, the dean shook off his unnecessary worries and proceeded with what he had to do. As soon as he said his second evaluation, the clown who had been outside the stadium moved to Gray’s side.

“The evaluation method is “annihilation”.”

Declaring the evaluation method was like a magic starter that immediately summoned the candidate’s opponents. After confirming the presence summoned in front of Gray, the Dean had to swallow a groan without anyone noticing.

The existence of which he had doubts only after hearing the name was revealed before his eyes.

“Huh? Where am I?”

A large, thick tail reminiscent of a reptile, curved black horns, red eyes of a predator, and even scales covering the entire body and face.

“Asmodians… Ine? Baby?”

Demon.

It is also not the lowest grade that is sometimes found in rough terrain such as the Kilite Mountains or the Cocytus Mountains.

Also, they are not low-level demons that are found very rarely.

Intermediate, intermediate level demons. Ira.

That was the name of that hideous thing.

It was natural that rare expressions of ‘worry’ and ‘concern’ appeared on Dean Hu’s face.

According to the records, the intermediate demons possessed their own unique and supernatural ‘powers’ despite the master’s inaction.

I know that the clown summoned by Gray is strong. When dealing with the mage of Circle 7, Dean Hu was watching.

however,

“The reason demons are irritated is because of their power and… … .”

The reason why demons are so annoying to deal with is because of their unique and strange powers,

“Demon World Magic.”

This is because of the bizarre magic exclusive to demons that even Circle 9’s superhumans cannot easily understand.
