3. No, I really passed.

“Passed.”

“Yes…?”

I looked slightly surprised. It was because I passed without even taking the test.

‘what?’

Obviously, I had a relationship with Serge Geis. However, I never asked him for anything in advance.

I didn’t even know he would become a professor in the Academy’s special department.

Soon Serge Geis opened his mouth again. And I could hear and understand what he said.

“Isn’t the Mercenary King’s martial arts skills already famous? I don’t think there’s any need to check further here.”

“Ah…”

Surprisingly, Serge Geiss was flexible. I nodded at his judgment.

“Thank you.”

“Well, it’s natural.”

He fell back with those words.

As he fell back, this time a man wearing a cone hat approached him.

He looked quite old, and it was like looking at an old wizard.

And I could almost figure out who he was.

‘Armel, the Archmage of Twilight.’

Although I had never seen it, I was able to infer it from its atmosphere and appearance.

He was one of the greatest wizards in the kingdom. Naturally, the extent of his obsession with impressions was well known.

He looked at me and made a face that said he didn’t like it. It felt like I hated myself.

“Mercenary King Jace Allen. I know very well that you are already famous as a magic swordsman.”

“Yes.”

“But I think it will be difficult to give you a pass right away.”

“Okay.”

It was because I was not an orthodox wizard, but a magic swordsman.

A magic swordsman is a little different from a wizard.

Both seemed to be using magic.

However, a magic swordsman was someone who honed some magic that could be used in actual combat to the limit and used it with a sword.

As a result, I had no choice but to appear quite biased.

“There is no need to look at attack magic or battle-related magic.”

It seemed like he was probably trying to cast a spell on me.

At that time, I was curious and asked him a question.

“But did all the people who couldn’t use magic fail?”

Looking at it now, it seemed like I had to take the test step by step and pass all of them to finally pass.

However, if this happens, many people who cannot use magic will fall.

“No, that’s not true. If you pass the first knowledge test (English), you can just show the rest of your possibilities.”

“Ah…”

It seemed like the first test was like a strainer filtering out the chaff.

Anyway, he asked me to use one magic.

I looked a little nervous.

It was true that, for a magic swordsman, I had learned a lot of magic.

Still, I didn’t know.

I was able to order strange things that I had no idea about.

And as I expected, he cast a strange spell on me.

I could see a glimpse of his will to throw me down somehow.

“Try to use the Arauzzle magic on me.”

I looked puzzled by his words.

‘Use that?’

It wasn’t because I didn’t know that magic.

Fortunately, I know that magic.

However, I didn’t know that he would ask me to use it on myself.

‘I guess I’ll have to do it though.’

I used magic with a shocked expression.

The Arauzle magic was a very special magic. It could be said that it was a magic that a magic swordsman would naturally not learn.

But somehow, I got used to it. It was all the fault of the bad teacher.

My teacher was a very unusual person. It is true that his abilities are outstanding. That was certain.

Perhaps, if he had only studied combat-related magic, he would have been given the title of Grand Wizard.

But he didn’t do that. I only focused on learning a lot of magic.

I could say he was a very unique person.

And thanks to that, I also knew a lot of magic.

Anyway, my hands glowed.

As a magic swordsman who values practical combat, magic came out immediately.

“Aroused.”

Soon pink light poured out of my hand.

And the light hit the professor’s body exactly.

Then the change occurred.

suddenly.

Soon the professor’s area(?) began to swell significantly. It was clearly sticking out through the robe.

‘Ugh, that’s why I didn’t want to write it…’

It was like that.

That magic was an excitement magic. It was also a magic that sexually aroused people.

Of course, it was also a magic that a magic swordsman would never learn.

“Tsk… I never thought I would learn something like this… I passed.”

He nodded calmly with a full erection. It seemed like there was nothing to be embarrassed about when it came to magic.

‘Ha… I guess I should avoid Armel for now.’

At first glance, he was not a normal person.

Fortunately, it seemed like a lot of my prejudices had disappeared, but I was reluctant about it for no reason.

Anyway, there is one last test left.

I have passed all my exams so far. Probably, cases like this are very rare.

“Still, the final exam won’t be easy.”

I looked puzzled at Armel’s words.

The last person left was a man with a very kind face.

It was like seeing a moral teacher from my school days.

‘What is the last test? Just looking at it, it doesn’t look strange at all…’

I looked a little nervous.

And soon a professor with a kind face approached me.

“Hello, how are you? My name is Professor Lehmann.”

“Ah, yes. Hello.”

He greeted me first. This was a bit unusual.

‘Lehman? This is my first time hearing this…?’

In addition, he kindly informed me of the interview area he was in charge of.

“I am a professor in charge of personality. This test will also ask about personality.”

“Ah, yes.”

‘Toughness?’

I couldn’t quite figure it out.

Soon his mouth opened. And I looked slightly embarrassed.

“You said you were a magic swordsman, right? Don’t you often hear people around you say that you are untidy?”

“Yes…? No…?”

“Hmm, I see. But your nose is quite big, right? Have you ever been teased because of your nose?”

“No. That too…”

He started attacking me out of nowhere. They were attacking me with words instead of swords.

“Ah, I see. But is there any smell coming from somewhere? It almost smells like a corpse… Did someone come straight from the battlefield?”

“……”

It was like that.

He was sarcastic and intentionally attacking me.

Perhaps, enduring this was the content of this test.

‘Are you testing your patience?’

It seemed like it was specially included due to the nature of the academy, which has many nobles. This was because they could not tolerate such attacks well.

I couldn’t bear it for the sake of honor or anything.

But I wasn’t.

I was a mercenary king.

It meant someone who rose to the top in the rough world of mercenaries.

And to me, swear words like that were not even on the list of swear words.

“Do you ever walk around without washing?”

“No. Wash well.”

“Surprisingly, I don’t think I’ll be good at working at night…”

“It can’t be. You will be surprised when you see it.”

I took all his attacks with a calm face.

‘Where is the dog barking?’

It was so boring that it made me yawn.

Did you see me like that?

He took a few more hits, then shook his head.

“Surrender. You have great mental strength.”

“Haha… that… yes. Thank you.”

It seemed like there was some misunderstanding, but there was no need to correct it.

So I passed all the exams.

And it seemed like this was probably the first time something like this had happened.

“Huh…! I never thought everyone would pass…”

“That’s amazing. Even the warrior couldn’t withstand the final test…”

“I never thought the Mercenary King would be such an incredible talent…”

The entire professor looked impressed with me.

The people under the podium went into an uproar.

“No, that’s ridiculous!”

“The mercenary king passes the academy entrance exam?!”

“Such a smart mercenary king…! Huh…!”

Everyone reacted with disbelief.

Well, it would be the first among all mercenary kings.

Soon I saw a professor writing down my name. It seemed like it was being written on the list of successful applicants.

After seeing that, I went down from the stage.

“Um…what is Wajeunhobby…”

“Yo, Mercenary King! Please teach me English!!”

Then a lot of people started coming to me. He was trying to get some information from me somehow.

But there was no way I could tell you that. I wasn’t that person of good character(?).

‘Are you asking me to tell you after swearing like that earlier? ‘I’m not a bigot either.’

“I’m sorry. Because I’m busy.”

In fact, a guard was coming towards me.

Perhaps, this or that will give me some warning.

I followed him out of the auditorium.

I saw people looking at me blankly. Some people had expressions of regret.

Of course, it could be seen that it was already too late.

That’s how I passed the difficult royal academy entrance exam.

I also passed the special exam, which was said to be the most difficult exam of all time.

It was something so great that no one could believe it.

And me.

I was also the first and last person to pass the exam on the last day.

***

That night.

Inside a noisy bar.

“What? Mercenary King passes?!”

“Ha…! Where did you get this ridiculous rumor…!”

“If that’s true, I’ll take off my clothes and dance here!”

People didn’t believe the news that I passed.

The entire bar was filled with news about me. That’s how surprising I was that I passed.

Of course, there was no one who could say that in front of me.

I slowly got up from my seat.

Currently, I was drinking in the corner of the bar.

But with so many stories being told about me, I couldn’t drink properly.

Soon I stood up completely.

‘It’s annoying.’

If this number of people were there, some would recognize my face.

And I was right.

“Gasp…! Yo, yo, mercenary king!!”

Suddenly, someone looked at me and shouted loudly.

“Ha…! Mercenary King…? They are trying in vain to get rid of me somehow… That makes sense… Hehe!”

“Yo, the mercenary king!”

“Magic Swordsman Jace Allen!!”

Soon, the inside of the bar became quiet in an instant.

And everyone fell silent.

I watched it for a while.

He then pointed to one person.

He was the one who assured me that he would take off all his clothes and dance.

“You.”

“Yes…?”
