by fnovelpia“It’s finally arrived~”
“… Yes.”
A huge door leading into the center of the labyrinth.
After fighting the instructor, Ronica and Fiona reached the extraction point without any problems.
It wasn’t that difficult.
Fiona had a good eye for traps, which saved a lot of time, and when competitors appeared in the middle, they were easily defeated together.
Fiona assists with ranged magic.
Ronica hits and runs from close range.
Although their personalities were so different, their actions matched perfectly.
“It’s all thanks to Fiona being with us!!~ Wow~ Let’s go in!”
“… swimming… … Yes.”
Perhaps because of this, Ronica hugged Fiona and expressed her joy in a happy voice.
This concludes all exams.
The two opened the door together and entered.
“Two people there. Come to work.”
The large central hall of the labyrinth.
When we entered there, a male instructor called Ronica and Fiona over.
“You passed the labyrinth in 53 minutes and earned 104 points. If you have a badge, submit it. The same applies to additionally acquired badges or mana cores.”
“Yes!”
“… Yes.”
Ronica and Fiona each presented the mana cores they obtained from killing monsters and the badges they had taken from several people to the instructor.
“Hmm?… That’s quite a bit. Let’s see. Avalon, who became an Orc warrior… … .”
Whoosh~
The instructor engraved something into a magic hologram floating in the air.
It seemed like it was a magic developed for grading.
“Your score will be engraved soon, so check it there.”
The instructor pointed to the cylindrical wall in the center of the hall.
Children who passed the test were checking the letters that appeared there.
“Let’s go too.”
“Yes.”
The two approached the cylindrical wall.
There were scores and rankings.
[Congratulations on passing the labyrinth.]
[Scores are displayed by rank. This is the final pass of this exam up to 120th place.]
[1st Place – Participant 1: 914 points.]
[2nd Place – Participant No. 116, 888 points.]
[3rd Place – Participant No. 37: 587 points.]
[4th Place – Participant No. 42: 481 points.]
[5th Place – Participant No. 145: 456 points.]
[6th place – Participant number 7: 437 points.]
[7th Place – Participant No. 95: 412 points.]
… … .
Ronica’s ranking is 3rd.
As expected, it was ranked high.
It seemed like the score for stealing Prince Avalon’s badge was quite high.
“… excuse me. How many points?”
“Hehe… It’s embarrassing, but I’m in 3rd place.”
“3rd place?… ”
“What is your score?”
“… Right below Ronica.”
“Wow~ You are really amazing? From the moment the beam of light shot out, it looked unusual!”
“… … … .”
Fiona blushed as if she were embarrassed.
While the two were talking, I looked at the electronic display board again.
[1st Place – Participant 1: 914 points.]
[2nd Place – Participant No. 116, 888 points.]
‘… ‘Who are those two?’
I thought Ronica would come in first place. Just catching all the goblins during the first trial is something that an average participant cannot do.
However, the previous two were not even similar, but received overwhelmingly higher scores than Ronika.
It is difficult to commit corruption like Avalon in such an overwhelming way.
Because once the tail is caught, it’s over.
What kind of talent monsters are these?
“Ha! I’m in second place? If I had known this would happen, I would have done it right.“
At that moment, I turned my head when I heard a loud noise.
A blonde man was seen looking at the electronic display board with an uncomfortable face. He was the guy who walked around proudly wearing a badge during the first exam.
‘Is that him…? .’
I paused for a moment and looked at him.
I understood.
A 4-star beginner.
Even when compared to Rowen, he is flawless.
4 stars doesn’t necessarily mean it’s strong, but… This guy’s body is well balanced.
Even if you can’t do it, you have more talent and effort than Rowen.
If he continues to grow like this, he will become a monster.
‘If not… ‘Who’s number one?’
At least there was no one notable nearby.
They must have already checked their scores and left, or are resting somewhere.
“With this, the third test is over. Once you have checked your score, take the portal now.”
The only way to find out is this.
“Let’s go~”
Ronica left the portal with Fiona.
*
The spacious training area of the training center.
The time when the sun hides behind the mountains.
“… Congratulations to all 120 people below on passing the Evelyn training exam.”
Successful applicants listened to the instructor’s speech at the training center.
“You will receive an explanation of the training center and basic supplies tomorrow, and pets and special ability users will be verified separately in the afternoon.”
““Yes!!””
After that, the speech continued.
You are now the 32nd class of cadets.
If you break the rules, you may be expelled.
There will be an adjustment period of two weeks where only basic training will be received.
You will receive training for the next 3 years, and after completion, you will be able to stay and receive training for 3 years, and will have the opportunity to join various organizations including the warrior corps run by the kingdom.
Other training center rules and the training and exams to be experienced were briefly explained.
Approximately 20 minutes passed?
“… Chalosi instructor? What’s going on here?”
The instructor stopped talking for a moment and turned around.
Suddenly, a blue-haired Chalosi instructor was standing behind him. She whispered to the male instructor and came forward for a moment.
“Attention everyone. This is delivered to the 32nd class of cadets. Today, something unpleasant happened in the labyrinth test.”
“Oh… .”
Ronica squirmed slightly.
It has come.
Death of Instructor McGuird.
You’re probably trying to investigate the truth.
More than that, I’m curious about what excuse instructor Tiana would have made… .
She continued speaking in front of the loud crowd.
“We have secured an eyewitness and we know there is a reason. I won’t charge you with anything, so I want you to come visit me after your accommodation assignment is finished.”
Ho… .
It was handled quite smoothly, wasn’t it?
That guy named Chalosi.
Competent.
He added that he would not press charges in order to hide McGuird’s death and at the same time bring out the culprit.
But don’t blame me.
Is that really the case?
Even if we turn a blind eye to it, it is certain that there will be chaos.
The instructor died.
Even at a young age, he became a 5-star wizard.
Maybe I’ll be falsely accused of being the devil.
“Heng… It’s absolutely a secret.”
Fortunately, Ronica didn’t seem to have any intention of turning herself in.
He even secretly put his mouth to Fiona’s ear and whispered a request.
“Even if it was self-defense, we committed murder. It’s clear that if you get caught up, it’s going to be difficult. Fortunately, the instructor doesn’t know, so we’ll keep it a secret.”
“Yes.”
If this happens, the possibility of a perfect crime arises.
Instructor Tiana remained silent to reduce guilt.
Prince Avalon couldn’t even see us properly.
No matter how talented that instructor is, if the information isn’t released, they won’t be able to find out.
Perhaps because she knew it herself, she added this.
“Once a proper investigation is launched, it will be revealed anyway. If you haven’t done anything wrong, cooperate quickly so that you can prove your innocence. Above.”
Investigate… .
well.
How about it?
At least intermediate level elementalist.
A sharp-eyed detective.
A tracking wizard.
This type of talent is quite rare.
Even if you can’t do it, it takes a few days to get started.
Also, unless you are a spiritist, it is very difficult to identify the suspect.
Here, the spiritist is the most valuable talent.
They don’t come forward unless it’s related to the royal family.
In other words, Chalosi’s words are closer to scaremongering.
But if they show that much willingness to investigate… I guess I should prepare in advance too.
Knock knock.
“Kiaang.”
It’ll be okay. Disciple.
“Yes. I think so too.”
“… inspection… … If you get caught… … .”
“Don’t worry Fiona. Even if we get caught, we haven’t done anything wrong? Besides, the nigger told me not to worry, so it’ll be okay.”
Ronica reassured Fiona, who was scared.
After finishing his story, Chalosi left.
Then the test instructor came forward again.
“There was a brief commotion, but I will continue the explanation I gave earlier. First of all, those ranked 1st to 10th in the labyrinth test will have separate interviews with the training director starting tomorrow-”
Boring explanation begins again.
There is no need to listen to boring speeches.
So, I tapped Ronica’s shoulder again.
Tuk-tuk.
“Corolong.”
“Huh? Nigga sleepy? Sleep~”
I fell asleep in Ronika’s arms.
*
“Cadet Ronica. Successful applicants with high scores can choose accommodation first. Let’s choose first.”
“Four!”
The training center has two buildings for men and women.
Here, unit 32 uses the first floor.
“Which one would be better~”
However, before choosing a room, the female instructor who was guiding Ronica looked over her shoulder and stopped her.
“Wait a minute. Cadet Ronika. What is that animal on your shoulder? Is this a pet you take with you?”
“Ah! Black people are my family.”
“… I’m not asking that. If it is an ordinary pet, it is not allowed to be brought into the training center. What I want to ask is whether that animal has fighting ability.”
“Of course! Black people are stronger than me?”
“You mean that little beast?”
“Yes!”
“… It’s a small animal, so I won’t say anything about staying with it, but we’ll check separately tomorrow, so if it’s an ordinary animal, send it back now.”
“You don’t believe me… … .”
Anyway, Ronica and I entered the dormitory together under the guidance of an instructor who seemed suspicious.
“I think this place will be the quietest and most cozy!”
The place Ronica chose was the room at the end of the hallway.
“… With Ronica… … Possible?”
“Peck me too!!”
Likewise, Fiona, who had the first choice, entered Ronica’s room.
Accommodation is for 2 people per group.
It was a room with beds at both ends.
Afterwards, other participants were also assigned rooms one by one.
So for about an hour.
“Everyone listen!! Leaving the building after 10 p.m. is prohibited. If you are caught, you will be assessed penalty points, and if they accumulate, you may be expelled from school.”
A female instructor’s loud voice was heard from the hallway.
To summarize, it is like this.
Do not wander around after 10 p.m.
Don’t fight with your classmates in the dorm.
Do not go up to the second floor where Unit 31 is staying.
Do not enter the male dormitory.
It was just a formal regulation.
“It’s good to get to know your roommate, but since you have to wake up early in the morning, try to get a good night’s sleep as soon as possible. Above.”
The instructor disappeared from the hallway.
The first night of training camp.
Is that exciting?
Ronica screamed and dived into Fiona’s bed.
“… !!?”
“Hehe. Fiona~~ Shall we sleep together?”
“… Here’s a private bed.”
“There is no law that requires it to be written separately!”
“… … … .”
Ho… .
If that’s the case.
I climbed onto Ronica’s bed and had the wide space all to myself.
Sometimes, it’s good to stretch out and lie down alone.
“Ah!! Still, I can’t betray the nigger! sleep together Black ahhh!~”
Taaa!!
But how long has it been since I laid down?
Ronika got up, ran towards me with a bright smile, and dived at me.
“Sniff?… .”
Currently, I am a small baby animal.
A huge shadow fell upon me.
grasp!!
“Kaang!!!!!”
*
Kooo~
Quietly.
Perhaps because they were tired from taking the exam, Ronica and Fiona fell asleep soundly.
Slurp.
During that time, I opened the window and secretly went outside.
The bright moonlight welcomes me with open arms.
Clean air.
“Sniff~”
fault!
I jumped down and landed lightly.
After walking a bit, a garden created as a rest area appeared.
The reason I secretly came out like this was to stop by the labyrinth to commit the perfect crime.
I memorized the coordinates when moving to the magic circle.
But before that… .
⊙︎ Hand drawn.
Have a human body. Even an unfamiliar body may have some advantages.
-The appearance is set to best suit the user.
-Some of the original abilities may be limited.
I guess I need to test this skill.
In fact, it is a skill I had completely forgotten. This is because I realized that the phantom beast’s body is much stronger than the human body, and communication with Ronica was no problem.
Above all… .
‘I don’t want to break the disciple’s illusion.’
My student finds me very cute.
They treat me like a baby animal and pet me.
He fiddles with the jelly, telling him to grow up.
But suddenly he turned into a human and said, ‘Uh-huh, disciple. Scratch there some more.’ Try saying the same thing. No matter how much Ronnie does, he will be so shocked.
However, I can’t change my way of speaking.
I’ve lived like this all this time, so how can I use a light, childlike tone of voice?
I am rather comfortable now.
Give me your shoulder.
Massage your neck.
Scratch before even grooming.
Feed them a mixture of food in the perfect ratio.
I didn’t want to give up this comfortable life.
So, I decided to use this skill for another purpose.
◎︎ Use hand drawing.
fillet.
Strange feeling.
The skeleton changes.
As with growth control, it began to increase in size, change its skeleton, and change its shape.
If things continue like this, he will turn into an ordinary human being.
But what if it were like this?
The mana flow when using a skill was forcibly blocked.
In other words, they refused to change.
Tiring!
◎︎ An error was found. Humanization is partially applied.
Fighting… .
“Hehehehe… … .”
I succeeded more easily than I thought.
Right now, only one hand has been transformed into a human.
There is just one problem.
Grumbling… .
I had a nosebleed.
If you make a slight mistake, you could suffer serious internal injuries.
But what can I do?
I’ve already got the hang of it.
At a level like mine, I know how to block mana to be safe.
If you use it well, you might be caught off guard.
five fingers.
I squeezed it and unfolded it.
The baby’s hands blooming on the body of the little cub Hwansu looked very comical.
◎︎ Release growth control.
Tap.
My body size increased significantly.
The hand that touched the ground grew slightly larger than Ronica’s hand.
◎︎ Hand drawing is partially used.
Next, I changed the neck.
Crunch.
“Ah. Ah.”
Quite a sweet voice.
Perhaps as a side effect, I get a brief headache.
I was curious what I looked like now, but I decided not to check because it would probably be weird at best.
◎︎ Use hand drawing.
◎︎ Overall stats decrease by 1/4 due to skeletal changes.
Knock knock knock!
Finally, it has completely changed.
It seems like the skeleton is changing and the skin is turning over.
Standing up on two feet.
Fox-like tail and ears.
It’s a little weak, but it’s comfortable and stable.
Just like that, I clenched my hands again.
“… It’s been a while.”
A nostalgic feeling.
It became a human body.
“It’s not that bad.”
but.
Tiring!
◎︎ You are still an immature adult. Gender could not be determined.
◎︎ Depending on your inclination, you will temporarily become male.
◎︎ TS skills are created until the adult.
“… hmm??… … .”
Some strange skill stuck to me.
It’s a skill I’ll probably never use in my life.
