I Became the Male Lead who was Clinging onto the Female Leads

Chapter 24

24 – Comprehensive Examination (1)

The first day of the two-day comprehensive examination.

‘…… I will die.’

After finishing all the written tests that had been raging like waves all morning, Yujin collapsed with her face on the desk.

I was prepared at the point where my goal was to avoid failing grades, but the difficulty of the test was no joke.

‘I ate raw in the first semester…… I haven’t even listened to more than half of the second semester.’

The timing of the possession was too ambiguous. It’s a test that takes the entire second semester of the first year, but it wasn’t until the middle of the second half of the semester that I possessed it…….

I couldn’t even solve more than half of the test questions. It was crazy because there were more problems to solve than problems to solve.

‘Still, it seems that I was spared the failure.’

Eugene managed to solve 3 out of 10 questions on her exam. Since the standard for failing the written exam at the Royal Lucia School was 30 points, the worry of failing was alleviated.

‘Well, I’ll be able to manage the lacking parts somehow with swordsmanship and magic.’

Because he was born with a genius talent and was obviously at the top of the swordsmanship and magic exams, he would have managed to offset it even if he got a failing grade in one or two subjects.

This means that with the least amount of effort, the best possible results were achieved.

‘Is it a practical magic test in the afternoon?’

Today, the students had to take a practical test on the speed magic they registered for.

‘It’s not a written test, so it’s a bit easier on your head.’

I saw a future where my body would die. This is because while other students finished taking exams 1 and 2, Eugene had to take exam 3.

Thanks to the former owner of his body, who wanted to play with the heroines and signed up for three attribute magic courses, he had to struggle until the final exam day.

‘I wasn’t the only one uncomfortable because my personal time was reduced during the semester.’

Tsk. What can I do?

I have no choice but to do it.

The magic test Eugene had to take today was Wednesday, Tuesday, and Wind.

The content of the test is real-life sparring with the teachers of the Royal School. You didn’t have to win, and the more you showed great skills, the higher the grades you could get.

‘Let’s see.’

Yujin opened the note distributed to all students.

「Eugene von Lennon Grace Exam Attendance Schedule

Water property test schedule: 14:00

Fire Attribute Test Schedule: 15:00

Wind property test schedule: 18:30

*Because the test for the previous student may end early, please arrive at the indicated test location 30 minutes before the start of the test.

*If entry is not confirmed before 30 minutes, a deduction will be given, and failing points will be imposed if you do not attend without a valid reason.」

The content of the test is sparring with the teacher, but the reality is that the number of teachers is small, so the Royal School distributed the test time of all students in an optimal way and distributed it by note.

Of course, the efficiency mentioned here was from the school’s point of view, not from the student’s point of view. They had to do well in exams with an insufficient number of teachers compared to their students.

‘The last exam is at 6:30 pm… ….’

It was wrong to train properly today.

I couldn’t hold the sword yesterday because I was studying until late at night, and I couldn’t find a proper training time today.

‘It’s my fault, it’s my fault.’

It was a crime committed by the previous owner of the body, but what this ‘body’ had done was right, so it was ultimately up to Eugene to deal with it.

Eugene, who arrived at the magic lab leisurely 40 minutes before the exam, watched the other students’ exams while waiting for his turn.

“Ice!”

A female student with an ordinary impression pulled out her magical power as much as she could and developed her magic.

Moisture bloomed from her hand and turned to ice, and she flew towards her teacher at a fairly high speed.

“In the exam to evaluate the achievement of magic taught throughout the second semester of the first year, one-star magic…….”

The teacher standing in the place where the magic is flying raised his glasses and let out a bleak energy.

He swung his staff and unfolded his magic.

“I can’t get good grades that way!”

He looked very excited.

“War-a-ter strike!”

‘Huh?’

Isn’t Water Strike a four-person magic?

The student used one-star magic, but that’s okay…….

Quaaa!

“Kyaaa!”

Before Eugene’s question could be continued, the teacher’s water column blew her female student to the other side of her.

“Jane von Christie, 20 points!”

“Recorded!”

When the teacher announced the score, the teacher next to her immediately recorded it on the paper. Truly a quick fix. It was a tremendous pace.

‘Is it because there are so many students to evaluate?’

In that respect, it made sense. It was a pity that a girl who had no magic talent flew all the way there, but…….

The number of teachers was not enough, so there was no other way.

‘I think I can hold the test for four days instead of two, but… ….’

Eugene is a mediocre student, so she did not express any dissatisfaction. The Royal School must have its own reasons for proceeding like this.

Quaaa!

“Aagh!”

“Alain von Chester, 30 points!”

“Recorded!”

In the meantime, another student was blown off and hit the wall.

The teacher, who raised her spirits to the fullest, shouted with her magic power.

“Next student, forward!”

‘Is this the right test?’

It was like watching a teacher versus student magic tournament. Before I knew it, the next student walked out in front of the teacher.

“Hmm.”

The energetic teacher changed her face to a serious one. She is not confident, but focused on the other person. She could see that the student who had left now was not an ordinary student.

“Yerina von Bliss Werwuz, I will learn a lesson.”

Yerina, her pink hair fluttering like cherry blossoms in full bloom, stared at her teacher with her staff pointed.

“It’s the turn of the 1st graders with the highest level of water attribute magic. Yes, please take care of me too.”

At the appearance of a talented person who is on a different level from the students so far, the teacher corrected her glasses and raised her cane.

“Don’t yield to the first baller. You shouldn’t discriminate against other students because of your high magic skills.”

“Seon Gong, I will accept it with gratitude.”

Yerina lowered her head slightly and raised her mana. A chill rose around her. When she got close, her skin felt prickly. The chill slowly spread around her,

From noble mtl dot com

Paaagh!

The moment the staff hit the ground, it spread at an unbelievable speed. The chill froze the surrounding ground and cooled the air.

‘This…… Is it five-star magic?’

A laugh leaked from Eugene’s mouth.

A first year student using 5-star magic…….

She had forgotten because she wasn’t paying attention, but she was also a genius wizard born into the continent’s top magic family.

“Awesome.”

The teacher also opened his eyes wide as if in admiration.

“Is this the blood of the Duke of Berwood? She broke through the five-gender wall at the age of 16.”

“It was only possible thanks to the teachings of great people.”

“Humility is……. You can be proud of it.”

“Thank you.”

“By the way… ….”

The teacher shrugged her shoulders.

“The magic that has been deployed now is just to freeze the surroundings and strengthen the power of water attribute magic. It means that the preemption rights were not used. When are you going to attack?”

“Even so… ….”

Yerina raised her staff and created a giant sphere of ice.

“I tried!”

It was fired at the teacher at high speed. It was the Four Holy Spirit Magic, the Frozen Orb.

“Even if you just shoot it, it uses magic that has considerable power after changing the surrounding environment.”

You made a reasonable choice from the standpoint of having the right to go first.

The teacher raised her glasses and laughed.

“Good enough. Regardless of the results of future exams, Yerina von Bliss gets a perfect score.”

With that said, the teacher lowered her cane.

“Ice Wall!”

Kwaaang!

The ice wall developed by the teacher blocked the ice sphere that Yerina threw. Her ice wall shattered in the process, but Sensei memorized her next incantation with incredible speed.

“Ice Rain!”

In an instant, ice rain covered the air and poured toward Yerina. As if anticipating this, she deployed the ice wall prepared in advance.

Qua Gaga Gak!

A roar erupted as the ice rain and the ice wall collided.

“The real level is no joke.”

“This is the best magic genius in 1st grade… ….”

Students who watched the test around them opened their mouths at the high-level magic battle.

Unlike the other students who fell like fallen leaves in the autumn wind, Yerin exchanged plausible battles with her teacher.

The battle came out after 5 minutes.

“Kuh… ….”

Yerina tried to lift her wand, but her arm wouldn’t move. Her arms froze from the freezing spells she had been beaten so badly.

“Let’s finish at this point. Good job, Yerina.”

Perfect!

When the teacher flicked her hand, the ice that had frozen Yerina melted away.

“Thank you… ….”

Yeri I lowered her head and bit her lip. Even though she put up a great fight, she seemed to regret her defeat.

“You’re not going to make that face. At your age, I was a hundred times weaker than you.”

“Still, I thought I could have done better… ….”

“You can’t do better than that already at the freshman level. Yerina von Bliss, perfect score!”

“Recorded!”

When the teacher announced a perfect score, the students around him cheered.

“Yerina is the best!”

“Yerina, the future archmage!”

“… ….”

Yerin I bowed her head and left her arena.

‘I can see her blushing.’

Her face was red as if it was good to receive her cheers. She would think she had covered it with her hair, so she didn’t bother to say it.

“Next student!”

“I’m leaving.”

Yujin walked in front of the teacher.

“Eugene von Lennon.”

“Okay, let’s start right away.”

The teacher raised her staff.

“Come on, I’ll give you the first strike as well.”

Notably less interest than when dealing with Yerina.

She wouldn’t be able to take that kind of attitude if she had ever supervised Eugene’s class, but since she was a teacher in charge of educating upper-class students, she didn’t know Eugene.

‘Still, I must have heard the rumors.’

Didn’t another teacher tell you?

Eugene was sincere in the activities that went into her grades in the water attribute magic practice. Every time that happened, the teachers were quite surprised. If she had interacted with those teachers, she would have heard about Eugene.

But seeing that there is no sign of anything…….

‘Doesn’t that teacher have no friends like me?’

Looking back, it seems that she had a difficult personality from the way she spoke. Her appearance was also far from embellishment, and she felt the atmosphere of a hermit wizard who devoted her life to magic research in a room alone.

She said, ‘She was serious because it was a grade level test…… Should I be a little gentler?’

No, that’s not it.

No matter how magical genius Eugene is, he was only a freshman. The opponent was an experienced wizard who had gone through all the battles, so it was not an easy opponent even if Eugene did his best.

‘Besides, the test scores are at stake.’

It’s okay if you say good things.

“I’ll go.”

“Come.”

“Ice.”

Eugene deliberately chanted and developed his magic. Small pieces of ice bloomed from his fingertips and flew away at normal speed.

‘Are you sure you’re an insignificant student?’

Sensei used appropriate magic to roughly knock off the ice shards and prepare for the next attack.

But at that moment, Eugene spurred on and landed in front of him.

‘What!’

The teacher opened his eyes wide.

But the surprise didn’t even begin. Small ice crystals bloomed in Eugene’s hands like snowflakes. The frozen bodies merged in an instant to form the shape of a sword.

It was Five Star Magic, Ice Blade.

‘How a freshman can use five-star magic…… ?’

The frosty blade flew towards his throat.

‘Are you saying that the one-star magic I attacked in the first place was a blow that induced my attention?’

Yujin narrowed the distance to Sensei at the moment he was caught off guard, unfolded his ice sword and swung it.

‘What nonsense!’

It was hard to stay sane when surprises happened one after another.

Aside from how it came to me, common sense didn’t understand that there were other geniuses besides Yerina who broke through the wall of understanding.

Besides, this student didn’t even sing. Omitting the chant inevitably reduces the power and precision of magic. However, that ice sword was not lacking in any area.

‘I can’t understand!’

I can slowly see the trajectory of the ice sword flying toward my neck. She had no time to be thinking. Unknowingly, a nurturing magic with strong destructive power was deployed from the stretched staff.

Quaaa!

Bubbling ice cubes were created and shot out of the air.

‘…… Getting hit by that would be life threatening.’

I expected the teacher to respond with proper defense magic, but she used a magic to kill people as if she panicked too much.

If you wield the current sword to the end, it would be possible to return to the same position, but there was no reason to do so. Regardless of grades, if you get injured, you can’t train. Eugene threw his sword and slashed her body.

Quaaang!

“Kyaaa!”

A huge impact occurred as the ice mass hit the ground. Sharp ice shards scattered in all directions.

‘Oops!’

Suddenly realizing what he had done, the teacher deployed magic to rectify it with all his might.

Quaaa!

A large column of water formed and sucked up all the debris. Because of the quick response, no disaster occurred.

‘What the hell did I do?’

But the teacher touched her head.

She was taken aback by the sudden situation and unwittingly unleashed a dangerous spell. Not only could she hurt Eugene, but she almost hurt the students around her as well.

It wasn’t a big problem since she managed it on her own, but the problem was that she made a mistake. Sensei rolled her eyes and found Eugene. Before I knew it, I saw him brushing his body and getting up. He was embarrassed and made his mistake, so he had to apologize.

“I’m sorry. I made a mistake without even realizing it.”

“It’s okay. Because I’m not hurt.”

“…… Thank you for saying that.”

The teacher made her mistake, but she was fine with it because she managed to make up for it. She could understand that it was Eugene who had taken the dangerous blow to the neck in the first place.

Since she is both a teacher and a person, she must have been taken aback in a situation where her throat was suddenly cut.

‘The important thing is the test score.’

The exam was short-lived, but Eugene showed everything he could.

Omit chanting, 5 star magic, actual combat ability. It remains only for the teacher to evaluate this, but the teacher next to him also asked as if he was curious about it.

“Teacher, so the score is… ….”

“Of course, it is perfect. What do you ask?”

“Yes?”

“You may not have seen it, but Eugene von Lennon unleashed her five-star magic without a chant. No matter what you do at that point, a perfect score is guaranteed.”

“That’s right. All right.”

The teacher nodded and recorded the score.

“Then let’s go.”

Now that the exam is over, Eugene lowered her head and turned around. The fire attribute test schedule was set right, so there was no time to relax.

However, the teacher grabbed Eugene’s shoulder, shining her glasses.

“Wait a minute.”

“…… Yes?”

As Yujin turned around, the teacher spoke to her with a serious face that would never be seen again in the world.

“I never thought I would find an unrefined gemstone like yours. This must be the destiny that connects you and me.”

“What is a gemstone?”

“Befriend me as a priest and learn magic under me. You can become a master of water magic. Becoming an archmage is not a dream either.”

“…… Ah.”
