by fnovelpiaIn a vast forest.
“This is what I found!!“
“I discovered it first?”
Two test takers found the badge and started fighting with each other.
One of them stretched out his fist first.
Get it!~
“Ugh!?”
“This is mine!!”
“This! Stand there!!”
The child who took the badge quickly ran away to the training center.
A lovely sight.
“Everyone is desperate… If I don’t work hard too!!”
Ronika also burned her will and went into the forest where there were few people, saying that she would definitely pass the exam.
There are a total of 360 badges.
120 badges for the 31st class
240 badges hidden in the forest.
In order to pass the test, you must find one of them and return to the training center.
At this time, as long as there is no bloodshed, contestants of the same test may engage in a fight using force.
How will Ronica overcome this obstacle?
“Shall we go over there?”
“Kuhhh… .”
… Disciple.
I just passed one badge over.
Ronika was confident that this test was her specialty. This is because of the experience of collecting and living in the countryside for a long time.
But the field of expertise is a mess.
The badge was so cleverly hidden that not even Ronica could find it.
No, it was difficult to find with the naked eye in the first place.
‘This… It was a mana sensitivity test.’
I glanced briefly at the place buried under the fallen leaves. I felt a little mana there.
The mana of the badge fluctuates at regular intervals.
In the first place, we didn’t create this useless test just to search.
This was a test to find hidden objects by feeling mana. In general, the better you feel mana, the higher your talent is, so the filter was set up like this.
“Grunt… I can’t see as well as I thought.”
Ronica has no idea about this.
Unfortunately, Venus’s information power did not allow her to know the details of the test.
‘… Disciple. ‘You’ve gone too far again.’
Of course, I feel all the badges around me.
There are only 3 nearby right now.
But I didn’t teach it to Ronica.
I want to pass the test myself.
Even after all this, he has reached 3 stars, so if you get close, you can feel the energy of the badge.
You don’t really need my help.
“Oh. It’s a green uniform! I guess he’s a senior from the 31st class. Can I catch it?”
A car that was moving for a while.
Ronica found the 31st trainee resting behind a tree. Likewise, the trainee also found Ronica and was slowly examining her.
“Is it a girl?… If you don’t want to be in trouble, go somewhere else and look for a badge.”
In “… .”
Did I look easy?
The trainee waved his hand as if it was not worth dealing with Ronica.
‘He’s not a bad person.’
I have completed the trainee’s grasp.
3 star entry.
It’s a similar state to Ronica.
It seems like he was so confident in his skills that he showed it off openly… Does he really know that Ronica is in a similar state to him?
“Negro… Uh, what should I do?”
Seeing the trainee’s confident appearance, Ronica whispered softly to me.
I want to tell you to fight, but… .
I can’t keep letting you depend on me.
“Kaang~”
Do whatever you want.
If you want to become strong, decide for yourself.
“… Sigh. then!!… … .“
fault!!
Ronica chose a bumpy path.
I lowered my posture, ran up to the nearest member of the 31st class, and reached out for the badge on the chest of my uniform.
“What?… .”
Ronica’s specialty is fast speed.
You must have been taken aback by the unexpected speed.
He immediately retreated from the trainee and responded by hitting Ronica’s hand.
However, as if Ronica had already expected this, she quickly turned around and swung the capital at her side.
puck!
“Huh?… This!!”
The trainee shouted in anger, but Ronika took a step closer and punched him in the face.
Naturally, the trainee spread his guard to block the attack, which ended up being a mistake.
Swish!!
“I will take my badge well!!”
“… Ah, when!!”
The trainee made a dumbfounded face.
The attack I was waiting for didn’t come and I was scared for no reason and lost the badge on my chest.
It’s a good decision.
This is not a fight.
The goal is to steal the badge.
After all, doesn’t he make good decisions without me?
I nodded with satisfaction from Ronica’s shoulder as she ran.
Of course, it would have been worth it to fight. Ronica had been sparring with Rowen, who was much stronger than her.
“Wait!!! Wait a minute!! That badge is not allowed!! Give it back!!!”
The trainee chased after Ronika.
Ronica seemed to be quite persistent and responded by turning her head for a moment.
“I don’t like it. The test is to take away the badge, but there’s no way I’m giving it back!!”
“No!! The person who should be given that badge!!… No, just stop!! money. Yes, I will give you money!! please!! There’s a guy I decided to pass!!”
“I have to pass? Who are you cowardly colluding with to get me to pass the exam? Then I can never give it to you!!!”
“Damn it!! Stop it!!!”
Ronica hid her badge in her arms as if she would not give it up and increased her speed even further.
“panting… Why is it so fast… … .”
The distance is getting wider.
The speed is so fast that you can feel the wind pressure just after reaching 3 stars. Also, since it grew up in the forest, it had no hesitation in complex terrain.
It was difficult for the trainee to catch up with Ronica.
by the way… .
I thought as I lightly regained my balance.
The trainee said he waited for someone to pass.
This is a line that gives an answer quickly.
He was openly trying to commit corruption.
It’s useless since it’s on Ronica.
“Please stop!!… … .”
The voice becomes smaller.
Ronica slowly disappeared from the trainee’s sight.
*
Ronica jumped up and expressed her joy.
“Hooray~ I already got the badge. This is all thanks to black people!!”
“… Sniff?”
What do I do?
Did you just look around?
Anyway, Ronica easily obtained the badge. Now, if you return to the training center, you will pass the first round.
But would it have been disappointing if it stayed like this?
The guy didn’t head to the training camp.
“Let’s look around a bit and then go. I wonder what other people are doing.”
He hid the badge in his arms and laughed, saying that everyone would look at me as weak and let down their guard, so they wouldn’t even think I had the badge.
I also chuckled at the sight of him recognizing that he looked weak.
He seems like a guy with no self-respect.
Rustle~
Afterwards, Ronica leisurely walked around.
Although it was a vast forest, there were so many people that even after walking a short distance, other participants could be seen.
“Where on earth did you hide it?”
“Finally a badge!!… It was a piece of cloth that looked like this, right? No, why are you fishing with something like this!!”
Those who wander through the forest.
etc.
A person who jumps on trees.
The one who lies down and whose eyes sparkle.
A person who tries to steal someone else’s badge.
Those who close their eyes and try to feel mana.
Occasionally, several participants were seen attacking the 31st trainees and falling down after being hit.
Of course, no one paid attention to Ronica.
Ronica also confidently passed them by.
“Huh?… What is that person?”
Then, I discovered an unusual participant.
“Haaam~ It’s so bland I’m dying.”
Grumpy yellow hair.
A boy was walking around with more than ten badges all over his body.
It seemed like he was telling me to take it from somewhere.
“Hiya!!”
Huh!~
Just then, someone who was hiding made a surprise attack, and the yellow-haired man easily dodged the attack, grabbed his collar, and simply flew him away.
“Waaa!!!”
“If you’re going to make a surprise attack, you have to at least erase their presence. Anyway, it’s full of boring guys… huh? What do you see? You guys want to take my badge too?”
He lightly provoked those around him and continued on his way again.
He was a man who had a firm belief in his own abilities.
“That person looks strong… .”
Ronika also kept an eye on the boy walking leisurely to the training center.
A strong man of his age.
You must have been quite stimulated.
It’s clear in his eyes that he wants to train.
It’s a good sign.
Because competition is a good motivation.
After the test is over, you will want to push yourself even harder.
From then on, Ronica continued to wander around the forest.
This is to check if there are other talented people.
Like it or not.
Ronica will grow greatly here.
*
“Ah! I found the badge~ Strangely enough, mana is spewing out minutely! Is this what you were looking for?”
Ronica, who was walking through the forest, picked up a badge.
A well-carved picture of a dragon.
The part where the eyes were drawn contained mana. It looked like it had been carefully carved by a skilled person.
That’s how you can tell if it’s genuine or not.
“But I already have a badge… If I hold two, no one else will pass, right? Then should I find someone else’s owner for this?”
“… Kang?”
Disciple.
Isn’t that a bit weird?
“Hehe. Don’t look at it like that. It’s a joke I made because I wanted to see black people embarrassed!”
He then chuckled to himself, saying that if Grandpa Hysterion had heard, he would probably have raised his voice.
“Keyu~”
Are you making fun of even your teacher now?
Ronica, who put the badge in her pocket, checked my expression and lightly rubbed her cheek against me on my shoulder.
“I also love the black guy sighing~”
Perhaps because of her enhanced solidarity skills, Ronica now seemed to understand my feelings just through my facial expressions and gestures without having to say anything.
But this is a two-way skill.
I was also able to easily understand what Ronica wanted without me having to say anything.
‘That’s what a friend wants.’
A friend close enough to give a badge to.
Ronica is a girl who talks more than she looks. It’s because I’m so quiet, so even if I just answer, I’ll talk to myself for hours.
Therefore, someone like Andro, with whom she could talk, is essential for Ronica.
I wish that too.
Because I feel comfortable.
So, it would be great if a second Andro appears here too… With that wish in mind, we went deeper into the forest.
When the people slowly disappear.
Kwaang!~
There was an explosion sound.
“What does this mean?”
Mana flow.
The noise of the explosion.
Judging from these two things, it seemed like someone had used a 2-star level attack spell.
Ronika headed to the source of the sound.
“Let’s go first!”
And I witnessed it.
The 31st cadets in green uniforms collapsed on the floor.
A blue-haired girl looking down calmly.
Given the circumstances, it seemed like the girl had defeated the three 31st class cadets with magic.
Swish!
The child turned his head with an expressionless face.
That’s how I made eye contact with Ronica.
“… Are you thinking of attacking me too?”
Light gathered on the small stick held in my hand.
Ronica immediately denied the seemingly dangerous magic.
“No! I am also a participant. I was just passing by when I heard a loud noise and came here.”
“… Yes.”
An indifferent face.
The guy withdrew his magic without asking any questions. Then, after taking two badges from the unconscious 31st class cadets, he slowly approached Ronica.
“character.”
A face that looks patronizing.
A badge presented to Ronica.
Ronika was confused and expressed doubts.
“Huh?… Why is this? Are you giving it to me?”
“Those who tried to sell their badges to nobles. In that case, it’s better for someone like you to pass.”
“Ah… .”
“Okay then… .”
Rustle~
After saying those words, the blue-haired girl left as if nothing had happened.
After a while.
Ronica suddenly came to her senses and complained.
“I have a badge!… Of course, it’s like giving it to someone who will fall… … Why do I look so weak!?”
It was a pretty strong first impression.
