7.

Vera Morgan.

The youngest daughter of the Morgan family, an idol, and Chris’s fiancée.

She started to get nervous about Chris after his big win over Howard.

‘Could it be that Chris has more talent than we thought?’

The natural combat profession was a clear talent.

However, Chris awakened the summoner profession that had not appeared in the entire Kingdom of Ridelph for 50 years.

Of course, in all other aspects such as appearance, personality, and ability,

As Vera’s fiancé, Chris was subpar.

However, Vera thought that since he had a special job, she should watch him a little longer as a candidate for her husband rather than immediately eliminate him.

‘Just in case there are parts I haven’t seen.’

That’s how Vera started stalking Chris.

Phew phew!

The time when the sun began to set.

Chris was seen training on a playground bathed in the red light of the setting sun.

Hah haah!

I wore a total of ten 1kg sandbags on my waist and wrists.

“First, you need to have basic physical strength before you can do anything else. You will need to run and do strength training every day from now on.”

Ray trains Chris like an instructor.

It was a situation where Christ felt the need for training. He silently continued his training.

Vera hides in a corner and secretly watches Chris.

‘Chris, that punk has been working out for over two hours now!’

The thing Chris hated the most was exercise.

Vera thought that her appearance would be acceptable if she just lost weight, so she tried to get her to exercise somehow.

At least she had to look presentable, since she was his fiancé.

However, after seeing Chris run away to Vera and eat a lot of snacks, Vera gave up on trying to reform Chris.

People can’t be rewritten.

Vera was planning to give up on her plans to rehabilitate Chris, break off the engagement, and find a new hexagonal husband.

But the hexagonal man who was above average in everything he thought was not easily found.

‘Sigh… I don’t really have any wishes… Why are there so few good men?’

It was strange. There were many good women, but it was hard to find a good man who had a warm face, a kind personality, a moderately tall stature, ample money, easygoing in-laws, and sincerity that only looked out for me.

‘I’m not asking for much, am I?’

As long as they were all above average, that was fine. But if you look at the male cadets of the Academy, there were always one or two areas that were lacking.

That’s why Chris, who had been eliminated once, was given another chance.

‘Try hard, Chris. I don’t expect much from you.’

Unlike the Chris of the past, Chris is dedicated to training and sweats profusely.

“Okay. Let’s end today’s training here.”

At Ray’s words, his maid, Lily, approaches Chris and hands him a towel.

Chris wiping away the sweat.

Even though he had gone through difficult training, unlike in the past, he didn’t complain and just calmly took off the sandbags.

‘Well, anyone can work hard for a short while with a three-day resolution.’

As Vera said that, she planned to wait and see if Chris would come out and practice tomorrow.

Howard gets hit directly by Ray’s ultimate Shine Burst.

It was three days later that he came to his senses.

“I was out of my mind for three days?”

Bill, the subordinate, nods.

It was unbelievable. Not only was he beaten by Chris, a scoundrel who had failed the Academy, but he was also unconscious for three days.

This was the first time I had suffered such humiliation since I acquired the Arc Knight profession.

“How did I get here?”

Howard asks Bill in a trembling voice.

I remember using the ultimate skill, the Arc Blade, but my memories after that are vague.

All I remember is being engulfed in some huge explosion of light.

“I was hit directly by the magic attack of the summoned creature that Chris summoned and was knocked unconscious. That damn summoned creature is definitely not a normal summoned creature. I heard it’s a polymorphed dragon. ”

Howard is surprised to hear that Chris’ summon is a dragon.

Dragons were the pinnacle of all monsters.

If Chris had obtained such a monstrous summon, he could understand why he lost.

“Is that true?”

“I don’t know the details. There are rumors going around. Maybe Chris is spreading the rumors on purpose to improve his reputation.”

Of course, as Bill said, it was also possible that it was just a rumor spread by Chris.

However, Howard, who had fought the summon himself, could tell that Ray was no ordinary summon.

Howard clenched his fists in frustration.

‘Chris guy… Don’t think you’ve beaten me just because you got lucky with a powerful summoner!’

It wasn’t that Chris was great and defeated him. It was just that his summons were powerful.

Howard thought he wasn’t the one who had done it. Chris was the bad guy who had cowardly summoned such a powerful summoner.

“Awakening a cowardly profession like a summoner…!”

A fight should be fought fairly and with your own abilities.

In that sense, Chris was a coward who could not be left alone as a knight.

“Are you trying to get revenge on Chris?”

Bill asked cautiously.

Having seen Chris’s power firsthand, Bill didn’t think Howard could beat Chris.

“I can’t just leave it like this. I have to take away the bastard’s summons so he can’t use them. If I do that, Chris will be nothing.”

Howard didn’t want to live like this, being in debt to Chris.

I ended up losing to Chris in front of Riel Youngae.

Just thinking about it made me feel like my whole world was falling apart.

I had to get revenge on Chris at all costs.

A few days passed and the midterm exam for the first semester at the academy arrived.

The academy’s curriculum consists of four semesters per year. Two assessment exams must be taken per semester.

Professor Graham, the Academy’s headmaster, gathers the students in the main auditorium.

He was also a hero who had made brilliant achievements as an adventurer in his youth.

“It’s nice to meet you again, first-year students of the Academy.”

The boring lecture continues for 30 minutes.

“Time seems to pass really fast. It seems like it was just the other day that you were entering school, but already the first midterm exam is approaching.”

The principal continued speaking, looking around at the first-year students.

“The first midterm will be held in Rainbow Valley. If you bring the number of items designated by your professor, you will pass the exam. If you prepare well for the exam, you can all pass it. Do your best.”

After Principal Graham’s speech, Professor Berriol, who is in charge of the Blue Hawk class, gathered the students.

The Blue Eagle class included Chris, Riel, and Howard.

Vera Morgan was a Red Lion.

“The item that the Blue Hawk cadets need to find is rainbow ore. Bring 20kg per person to pass.”

An explanation that the more you dig, the more bonus points you can receive.

“The exam period is two weeks from now, so don’t be too impatient and prepare thoroughly for the exam!”

While the cadets answered yes, Howard glared at Chris and thought.

‘I won’t lose to you in this test!’

Chris, on the other hand, didn’t even care if Howard was staring at him.

It was my first test at the academy.

‘I have to do well in my exams to show my father, Count Laurence, that I have changed.’

#

Chris began preparing to conquer Rainbow Canyon that day.

I stopped by a workshop near the academy and bought a wheelbarrow to carry rainbow ore, and a generous five pickaxes.

“I think there should be a porter to pull the cart… .”

Since the weight of the ore to be mined was at least 20kg, it might have been more efficient to have one porter.

The Academy also allowed students to have one porter.

“If it’s a porter role, I’ll do it.”

Lily volunteered.

“Are you okay?”

“You know that my strength is no less than that of most men. I can pull the cart, so there is no need to hire someone else.”

It was Lily who had carried Chris, who had lost consciousness, to the hospital the other day. 20kg would be nothing.

“Kyao~ I’ll go too. It’s boring to be alone in the dorm.”

Ray was planning to follow too

“Um… Ray is a summoned creature, so I guess I don’t have to count him as someone who can help?”

“If you want to go mountaineering and mine ore, you’ll need to prepare water and food. I’ll go get the things I need.”

“Really? Then I’ll ask you.”

Lily headed to the market carrying a basket of groceries.

Chris and Ray returned to the dorm with a pickaxe in their cart.

Meanwhile, Howard was also busy preparing for the midterm evaluation.

This time, Howard, determined to beat Chris, came up with a cowardly plan.

“Are you ready like I said?”

Howard asks his subordinate Bill.

“Yes. As you said, I hired a quick quarryman in Rainbow Canyon. I told him to leave it to me because I know where there is a lot of rainbow ore.”

It was clear cheating.

But Howard was determined to beat Chris no matter what.

“Hehehe. Alright. This time I really have to show Chris what he’s made of.”

Howard gave a wicked laugh.
