36 – Relocation Exam (4)
There are four major devils in the history of science.
Laplace, Maxwell, Descartes, Darwin.
An army of foreign media named after four famous scientists. This is a by-product of humanity’s struggle to understand incomprehensible areas.
Here, ‘Maxwell’s army’ has two characteristics.
First. Most of the members of the military are made of metal.
Second. Incarnates can use localized time regression.
“If you look at the results from the last practical evaluation and the lottery, there is no doubt about it.”
“You mean the Maxwell guys?”
“Yes. “They used time reversal to force us to have the same results as before.”
“Then it makes sense.”
The teachers gathered at the examination headquarters sighed in unison.
“First of all, I laid out the board as he wanted. But we can’t just sit here and suffer.”
“I guess they took some measures?”
The grade director nodded.
“We also allowed the bringing in of telephone devices that did not affect the test, and even had S-class inspection on standby.”
“It’s S-class…. “I guess I spent some money.”
“Yes, because student safety is the top priority. In addition, we also had several A-level assistants.”
All the teachers looked surprised.
Using a level A prosecutor as an ‘assistant’!
However, considering the reputation of the school, it is a natural expense. The love for school soared in the hearts of some new professors.
“Anyway, we are now past the halfway point. Let’s slowly release the golem and see what happens.”
The grade director shifted his gaze to the monitor.
There, she was reflected in the image of a female student who had begun to confront the golem.
***
“I heard it’s a B-class golem.”
Zernia clicked her tongue and placed her hand on her waist.
“It looks poor.”
He is about 4 meters tall, and his upper body is huge compared to his lower body.
The color was like wood, but the material was like stone.
Even though it was modeled after a monster, it had the same shape as a human. It wasn’t bizarre or scary.
It feels like only the skin is great and there is no substance.
“How long have I been looking for you?”
Grumbling.
The silver rapier that comes out of its sheath catches the sunlight and sparkles brilliantly.
Zernya launched herself at her golem before it could even prepare to attack.
The golem’s reaction was never slow. As soon as he saw Zernya running, he grabbed both of her arms and took her down.
Cow!
The ground is deeply dug up and a crater is created.
Zernia was not there.
“Here.”
Zernya’s new form stepped on the golem’s shadow. The golem turned around after her. Sharp silver solid lines rush to the sides.
The golem raised her overgrown hand to block her sword strike. But it wasn’t enough. A sword rich in ether emits plasma energy through the output terminal. It is a kind of energy conversion work.
After completing the transformation, the sword body enters a plasma state. It looked like a lightsaber, or like a shaped laser.
The important thing was that even the incarnation could be injured if cut by the blade in such a state.
Zernya’s rapier was specialized for stabbing at high speeds. Although it lacks destructive power, it slowly kills the enemy with speed and technique.
The tip of her sword punctured the golem’s right hand. Once, twice, three times.
Four times, six times, eight times. If you continue like this, you will be punished. The golem’s AI made that decision.
Because of this, I let down my defenses and gave up my body.
Strike with the opposite hand while digging in.
It was a simple yet reasonable choice.
Of course, this is assuming that the opponent has a level of B or lower.
“That’s stupid.”
Zernya, as expected, targeted the torso.
However, there was no option for the golem to ‘attack with the left arm’. His left arm had already been amputated and had a hole in it a long time ago. It was too late to recognize and counterattack.
While the golem was stuttering due to a momentary calculation error.
“Putting paint in is also sloppy.”
Zernya plunged the ionized blade into the heart of the golem.
A crack, and a flash of lightning flashed out. Zernia quickly widened the distance just as she had when digging in.
Cow wow.
The large figure fell and released a huge shock wave. The wind rose. The bushes sway like reeds.
‘I can read all the numbers. Well, I guess it’s class B.’
Zernya reaped the ether spread across her sword. Then, the ionization was released and the sword body, which seemed to have melted, regained its original shape. There was not a single scratch on the blade.
As soon as the battle was over, Zernia checked the scorecard.
[1. Eidel von Rhineland / Seti von Rhineland / Rustilla Kersil: 546 points]
[2. Zernia von Adelbein: 300 points]
[3. Welton Eusford: 180 points]
[4. Christine Herset / Mezlen Hüritia: 168 points]
300 Points at once.
This is the value you get when you kill a golem.
“I guess I can’t even catch these bugs.”
I looked at the scorecard, but there was no one other than Idel Joe who had over 300.
The Rhineland family is not a family famous for swordsmanship. As far as Zernia knew right now, Seti had no talent with a sword. To be precise, it was a little better than the criminal.
And it would be the same for Idel.
Rustilla?
Who is that?
It’s laughable to walk around wearing strange little things.
To come together means to prove that you are the weak. If you have a thousand talents, you don’t have to do it.
Look at this. How good is it? I caught the golem, so I can claim 300 points!
“Huh.”
It’s not even a reason to burst into laughter. Zernya twitched her mouth and advanced.
It wasn’t long before she encountered one more golem.
Of course it was a breeze. The scoreboard was quickly updated.
[1. Zernia von Adelbein: 600 points]
[2. Eidel von Rhineland / Seti von Rhineland / Rustilla Kersil: 552 points]
[3. Welton Eusford: 180 points]
[4. Christine Herset / Mezlen Hüritia: 174 points]
“Ah, hahahaha.”
Only then was Zernia able to smile.
Okay, this is it.
The sense of omnipotence you get when you win first place. Self-esteem. Confidence.
The sense of accomplishment of stepping on top of others pushes oneself forward.
Even he alone has 600 points. Eidel should share those 500 points with his teammates.
In other words, the number of points he can have is at most around 170.
The gap was more than three times.
‘Okay, if it goes on like this…’ .’
Boom!
A loud noise is heard from the vacant lot on the side. Zernya immediately turned around and headed there.
It’s probably the same guy anyway. I will earn more than 900 points like this and will definitely take back first place.
But there were already passengers.
“Heh.”
Even as he watched the fiercely charging golem, the boy was smiling leisurely.
He was wearing sunglasses, and his waist had a classy attitude of its own. The scabbard part looks quite sharp.
Zernia was about to follow him and kill the golem, but stopped.
“That guy….”
He is someone I have seen before.
So, where did you meet him?
“Ha.”
I remembered.
From noble mtl dot com
From the first day of the entrance ceremony, the bastard who had made himself a laughing stock by tricking himself into being a teacher was right in front of his eyes.
Zernia asked this question.
He may seem like a fussy guy who doesn’t measure mana back and forth, but it was clear that he would get hit if he tried to fight the golem.
Zernia wanted to see that boy fly. There were a lot of golems released anyway, so giving up one or two did not affect the score.
So he hid in the bushes and waited.
If the guy knows his way around and gets out of the way, then we’ll deal with the remaining golems.
“Come on, come on. “I will show you some amazing swordsmanship.”
The boy bent his waist and turned his body. He bent his knees, lowered his stance, and gripped the handle of his sword.
His posture is upright. There are no gaps.
Zernia remembered seeing that preparatory movement once.
Baldo.
“…… “Are you kidding me?”
It was absurd.
The perfection of his posture is high, but his technique itself is trash. It is of no use whatsoever except for raid purposes.
In the first place, the power of the plasma sword comes from cutting the opponent with the heat energy generated by ionization of the blade…….
“Huh?”
It was a fleeting moment.
The golem found the boy and rushed forward. The boy responded by drawing his sword. His sword body stretched like taffy sticks.
No, it has not increased. A delayed afterimage of ionized ether.
Ionization was successful using the frictional heat used when pulling out the sword as a primer.
Zernia framed the situation.
‘Indeed, if we do that, we might be able to consume less ether in terms of energy transfer.’
Are we going to fight with that now?
The expectation was quickly dashed.
The boy threw the ionized sword at the golem’s head. The golem blocked it with quick reflexes. The sword is held in both hands! I was stuck.
“It’s a fake!”
The next moment, the boy jumped up. In his right hand, he held the sword sheath that had been removed.
However, with ether present.
Bah! There was a sound. The boy hit the sword sheath on the golem’s head. A dull sound rang out due to the hardness of the sheath.
The golem literally lay down with its head broken. It was impossible to move the driving part, that is, the core, after being hit directly.
“Hmm, well…” Is it like this?”
[1. Zernia von Adelbein: 600 points]
[2. Eidel von Rhineland / Seti von Rhineland / Rustilla Kersil: 552 points]
[3. Welton Eusford: 480 points]
That boy also scored 300 points at once.
Zernya bit his lip slightly.
“Ha… “Insolent.”
Right now, we need to be more wary of that guy than Eidel. In terms of score percentage, he was following closely behind.
However, apart from that, if one were to evaluate the swordsmanship, it could be said to be inadequate.
It is not a sophisticated method, and it is not enough to deal with monsters of Class A or higher. If you face them, you can win by a landslide.
I wanted to attack at least because of the humiliation I felt at that time, but it was impossible due to the exam rules.
Zernia sighed and checked the scoreboard.
Things turned out to be more interesting than expected.
[4. Christine Herset / Mezlen Hüritia: 374 points]
Immediately the fourth place chased after me.
[4. Matus Vitling: 450 points]
[5. Christine Herset / Mezlen Hüritia: 374 points]
The situation is reversed by another student.
As we passed the middle and entered the second half, the scores of the top students were increasing by 300 points. From this rule, Zernia was able to get a clue.
‘The golems have begun to be unleashed in earnest.’
I hadn’t encountered a single one so far, but it wasn’t a fluke that I found two until halfway through.
The first part is a warm-up.
The real thing started now.
[Elimination: 1]
Zernia’s guess was not wrong. An indicator of eliminated candidates, which she had not seen before, appeared on the scoreboard.
3 People, 10 people, 47 people, 156 people.
The speed of increase was unusual.
[1. Zernia von Adelbein: 1200 points]
With two more birds hunted, the number of retired students reached close to 1,000.
Here she got one more clue.
‘The evaluation is over for those half-baked people.’
If it were a test that only explored ether, it could be taken simply enough to know the results in three or four hours.
However, a golem that could pose a threat was mixed in here.
Resumption of practical evaluations that were not conducted during the entrance exam.
In other words, from now on, it is a competition between those at the top of their combat abilities.
And as if to indicate that Zernia’s guess was also correct, turbulence began to occur on the scoreboard.
