The Academy’s Genius Magic Swordsman

chapter 19



The academy’s end-of-term final evaluation was done in two ways, depending on the department’s characteristics.

Departments directly involved in combat, and departments not directly involved in combat.

Speaking of departments related to combat, such as swordsmanship, spearmanship, archery, martial arts, and magic.

The hunting system, which was done according to the final evaluation period, was the evaluation criterion.

As much as learning combat-related skills, real-life experience was the subject of evaluation.

Coincidentally, this was also the time when the number of monsters in the Demon Forest increased rapidly.

On the academy side, it was one of the efficient management methods for managing the Demon Forest using student manpower.

Then the divisions that are not directly involved in the battle. How do you evaluate the Ministry of Pensions, Technology, and Theology?

Like the midterm, it was a departmental exam.

It was only that the evaluation war was changed to hunting, but overall there was no big difference from the midterm evaluation.

Except for the fact that around this time the Ministry of Magic students are desperate to save their crew.

“Who wants to take the 10th place wizard in the Ministry of Magic last year! It can handle up to three attributes: fire, water, and arcane!”

“We are selling a 3rd circle wizard with only 20 members in the entire Ministry of Magic! Close combatants, such as the swordsmanship club and martial arts club, are welcome!”

“Anyone is fine, so take me with you!”

Because entering the Magic Forest alone as a student from the Ministry of Magic was downright insane.

He desperately appealed to himself and asked other melee combat departments to form a party.

First of all, if you have good skills, even if you don’t have to make a fuss like that, other departments will be recruited on good terms first.

Even if your skills are mediocre, if you have good affinity, there were cases where you joined the party through acquaintance with acquaintances from other departments.

Most of the students of the Ministry of Magic tended to be introverted or a little less sociable due to the nature of the department.

If I couldn’t participate in the group that was created, it was hell after that.

It would have been fortunate if the students of the Ministry of Magic were forced to party together.

Those who couldn’t even do that had to enter the Demon Forest alone.

The moment that happened, the grades had no choice but to lengthen the floor as if it had been set.

I don’t know if I can catch even one goblin that fell alone by luck.

If one on one encounters an okra, casting wind magic on the soles of their feet and jumping to death was the best response a wizard could do.

So, what kind of wizard was I in my previous life?

As you can see from these vivid experiences, most of them were realities I experienced in the past.

When I was hard-headed, I was able to release the 3rd circle only after my 2nd year at the academy was over.

I’ll just say that until then, there was no way anyone wanted to take a 1st class wizard to the hunting festival.

Of course, compared to then, things have changed a lot.

“Conrad! did you ever get a party? It’s the same Ministry of Magic, but this time, why don’t we go out together with the Ministry of Magic? You do the avant-garde!”

“Senior Conrad! Since this is my first hunting festival, I don’t know much about it, so can you take me with me and tell me a little bit?”

“Our party needs a fireman, come in if you’re interested. By the way, we also have students from the theology department, so to be safe, our party will be the best.”

It was a situation where they were being invited in various directions, not only from the fairly famous existing hunting festival parties, but even from the same Ministry of Magic students.

Perhaps the big impact was on winning the 1v1 battle against Dyke in the midterm match.

Some time ago, it was known to some extent that he had hunted a giant boa.

He was useful as a melee combatant and was a great talent in charge of firepower, so even if he was still, suggestions would come pouring in on his own.

Even so, I politely declined all incoming offers and sent them back.

“Sorry, I already have a party to go to.”

Just by saying this, almost all of the people who suggested it went away on their own. I assumed that if you had skills like mine, you already belonged to a party with a different name.

It was a famous party in its own way.

Maybe it will become famous starting with the end of today’s hunting festival.

“Ah, senior Conrad! Is it a coincidence… .”

“It’s not a coincidence, it’s a promise. I will participate in the hunting festival like today.”

“… It was. I was nervous and the habit of talking came out.”

If ‘It’s a coincidence’ became a habit, I would have known how much he pretended to have a chance meeting with me.

After saying hello to the first member of our party, Stella, I immediately greeted the rest of the members.

“Lulu was there first too.”

Just like the last time I hunted the giant boa. In this hunting event, three people go out like this.

In the first place, it was to make the two people close to gather the members of this party.

A Demon Subjugation Team consisting of five members. three of them.

Although it would be impossible to create a perfect party from the past because the conditions were not right now.

First of all, it was important to gather only the manpower that can be gathered now.

Especially in the case of Lulu, it was from the 2nd semester of the 3rd year that she participated in monster hunting in earnest.

Because I wanted to create a place where she could gain experience in the real world as soon as possible.

Participation in the hunting festival was not particularly obligatory for Lulu, the technical lady. Because the right to participate still existed.

It wasn’t impossible to substitute the evaluation with a hunting system instead of the departmental exam if desired.

In the first place, Lulu was not a special case, and the Department of Theology, the same non-combat department, often participated in this way.

The role of the clergy was always important during battle, so it was a more popular department than the Ministry of Magic.

“Um… .”

Faced with me, Lulu wonders if there is something left to worry about.

Even after coming this far, he still showed an uneasy expression on his face.

“I came because Conrad told me to come, but is it really okay for me to participate in the hunting festival?”

“The last time you caught a giant boa, you followed it well, now come?”

“At the time, I didn’t know if we were going to catch giant boas, so it was! If it was a goblin or kobold, I could kill one or two people in a surprise attack, so I followed them.

In the end, I just followed along and didn’t do anything. Stella did all of the monster carcass recovery… .”

Certainly, it would be a bit difficult to expect combat skills from Lulu, the technical lady.

He handles daggers well in his own way, but it was more like a household item used for self-defense or dismantling.

He probably hadn’t learned how to use it as a weapon yet.

By the time she graduates from the academy, Lulu will grow into a decent combatant.

At this point in time, Lulu, who had only learned practical skills such as hunting and dismantling, had lived a life a little far from combat.

“I heard that during the mid-term evaluation, you help out in the final hunting festival? Was it just empty words?”

“That was what I was trying to stop because you said you were fighting that mad dog Dyke! And what am I doing by interfering with you who are good at dykes and giant boos?”

“yes? I suggested it because I thought you needed Lulu for this hunting festival.”

He said something to cheer up Lulu, who was still worried.

“Are you saying it from the heart, not empty words?”

“It’s helpful, and first of all, you definitely got help the other day. High-speed search is still hard for me too.”

“It should be so, but not for that particular reason… .”

“Maybe there is something else you can do to help. So, just follow me.”

“Well, okay. I can’t help it if you say that.”

He was a guy who was weak against open praise.

For now, this should be it.

This was enough for the minimum power to catch ‘that monster’, the most dangerous being in this hunting festival.

The hunting party could consist of up to six people if desired, but it was a party member.

There weren’t that many who formed a party by filling up all six people.

The more members of the party, the more. Even if the same performance was achieved, the result score would be drastically reduced.

If the number of people who did not match was new, it could have been rather hindered.

If you want to get good grades in your final exams, your party should be minimal.

Although my grades were not lacking enough to obsess over grades.

First of all, being a student with good grades means one more card that can be used in many ways.

Above all, just accepting Stella’s good grades, who would become a hero in the future, would give the imperial family one less excuse to bet on her.

As long as the members of the demon subjugation party were gathered and participated, they were determined to get good grades.

In fact, whether you participate with 3 or 6 people, you can definitely win the hunting festival just by catching the monster that was your original goal.

The wonder seen by the other students must have been more than doubled.

“The paralysis cure is sufficient. The staff output is also good. Giant Boa’s remaining Dokdo… . Well taken care of.”

After making sure that you have prepared everything you need to prepare. I asked the other two to do one last check.

“Is the blade in good condition, and is there anything else I need to bring? Lastly, check carefully.

We still have about an hour left, so it won’t be too late to prepare again.”

“I am perfectly prepared, Senior Conrad!”

“I didn’t miss anything either. The condition is good, and the dagger is in good shape.”

I got confirmation from the other two that they were ready to enter.

From now on, we can spend time talking to each other in moderation.

There was still an hour left before the hunting festival started in earnest.

Lastly, I was going to ask you once again about today’s hunting festival plan, which I’ve already explained several times.

“It’s already been said the other time, but I’ll check it one last time before entering.

First of all, as soon as the hunting festival begins, Lulu searches the surroundings with high-speed search, and Stella is at the vanguard of the monsters that get in the way… .”

“… Are you Conrad?”

My story is paused by a voice behind me.

“Yeah?”

“Looking at the reaction, it seems right.”

The moment I turned my head to the voice I had heard somewhere, I was able to face a familiar face behind my back.

As soon as I met the face I had seen so many years in my previous life, I let out a small astonishment in my heart.

I never thought we would be able to meet each other so soon.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“I want to make you an offer. Not a bad suggestion.”

I’m a senior who took the 2nd year top of the academy’s archery department last year.

In our previous lives, we were safe and trusted each other with our backs.

Her green hair and pointy ears brought back memories of the past.

“Come into my party. I’ll let you win the hunting festival.”

Sian Rudflicka.

He was the one who would become the archer of the Demon Subjugation Force.
